Comment:

This professor was amazing! The readings are difficult, but he explains everything very clearly in class discussions. Participation goes a long way in this class, so make sure you know the material. I had some health issues during the semester and he was so understanding. He assigns 10 essays that are due at the end and a mid term and final. Take!

This guy hasn't taught Philosophy at Temple since Spring 2007. Check with their HR department to get the facts. Why is he still ghost-posting on his page? Can't he get a decent teaching job anymore?

Don't skip class! Awesome teacher. Does not require a textbook, each reading you can find online. Initially the readings can be intimidating, but he explains each one in detail during the lecture. Well respected man, great human being. His class will change your way of thinking and your perspective about life. Will take him again if possible.

Great Professor!! Took him up NER at CCP! I was scared at first due to the difficulty readings. He made me understand much better from the discussions and how he breaks it down in details. I would take him again if I can!

Wow, what an amazing person! He is an excellent professor and an even better human being. His class discussions were incredibly interesting and I am a business student so believe me when I tell you that! Definitely take him for anything as long as you can handle being respectful and appreciative towards your professors.

if scaring students straight is teaching, then he's brilliant. i will admit though he is brilliant and a very admirable human being. if you like to skate by in core classes, do NOT take him. but, if you actually want to engage yourself in IH, then take him.

Comment:

His class was pretty boring, but he made it interesting once in a while. He took attendance randomly, but I didn't show for maybe 10 or 11 classes, and still passed with flying colors, even though he said after 4 missed classes you would fail. He is a very fair grader in the end.

There were some very interesting discussions in class. He is a pretty tough grader, but if you prepare well for his essay exams, you should do okay.

Dr. de Paulo is an amazing professor and an awesome guy! His lectures are the best on campus and discussions are always lively. But, if you're immature and not very bright, don't take him.

De Paulo is an alright dude, but pretty intense about philosophy and attendance. Eventhough I wasn't really interested in the course, he makes it interesting and keeps you awake.

De Paulo is not arrogant, just confident. In my opinion, the best professor I've ever had at Temple. He gave me a B, which was the grade I deserved. Also, I had a problem once paying rent and he actually helped me! He's one in a million. Thank you!

Comment:

It's hard to say about DePaulo. I found him a really knowledgeble teacher, but he was so arrogant. He looked down on us. The class is simple enough if you do all the reading and take all the notes, but if you're one who likes to challenge higher institutions, I'd look for someone else. I think his expectations for us were unreasonable at times.
