Paul is absolutely wonderful!! i took every class that I could with him, a total of 5! He keeps you interested and values your opinions. He's truly genuine and its obvious that he cares about his students and what he is teaching. I think he is under appreciated in the department and deserves a lot more praise. truly a great person all around!

Paul was awesome, fair grader, open to students questions and comments and very respectful of opinions. He really wants students to explore their topic of interest and understand the issues with that topic. I felt bad when I couldn't make it to class. His accent doesn't hurt either.

Paul is absolutely great! He is available to help for anything! This was his first half online/half in class semester. He's gone above and beyond to help people understand. I'm very glad I took his class and I plan to take more classes with him in the future
