Comment:

Underneath his crabby exterior, BP is a genuinely caring professor who wants his students to excel. While he may seem unapproachable at first, don't let that stop you from reaching out for help. He is easily accessible when you have questions.

Comment:

This guy is different from all the other professors I've ever had. In the beginning he will come off as harsh and overbearing, but trust me he means really well. He grades harshly because he wants us to SEE OUR MISTAKES and perfect them! Tough love is what you need in the lab, because mistakes are a big NO-NO in the real world. Take his class!

Comment:

BP is such a badass. As a person, he's great and super funny. He tends to spout out random facts throughout class and they always end up on the (incredibly difficult) tests so get ready to take notes. Didn't learn much, but enjoyed the class for the most part.

Great guy!! Very funny and knows how to entertain the class. Very intelligent and expects perfection. From this, grading was very very hard. Overall nice guy. Don't expect an A on anything unless its a participation grade.

Comment:

Bob Paul was my professor for my First Year Seminar class. He liked to make the class fun and made the schedule around what we wanted to do. But I never really learned anything. His lectures were very fast and confusing. He wasn't interested in helping out non-bio majors. Tests were hard. Harsh grader. Nice guy but not my favorite professor.

great SMP advisor and he teaches fun classes! He's a crazy professor but in a good, full of stories way. I always learned a lot in his classes but never got too stressed out in doing so.

Too hard for a 101 class, no one got As on the tests. Labs were fun but not well explained. He was not interested in helping nonbio majors do well.

Knowledgable and helpful, if you seek him out.. but very harsh on students who cannot keep up with the class. I found it hard to like him, but he seems like a nice enough guy.

Comment:

Had a good time in his class, even though I was not a bio major. Others complained because class was "too hard to be Disney bio". It wasn't that hard if you put a little effort into it. We also went to the aquarium on a field trip, that was odd,

Bob was the best SMP advisor I could have had. He is super helpful and really cares about your mental health. You can get to be good buddies with him fast. See if he'll go to the Door with you.

I know what was in that orange mug of his. No wonder he thought the tree bark was talking to him. God Bless Bob.

If Jimmy Buffett would be a prof, he would be Bob Paul. He is a great guy, but has no idea that "Disney Bio" is for the jock non-major.
