Comment:

I genuinely enjoyed his class when I took him for Fall 2019. His tests are very easy, he gave practice tests that were exactly the same as the actual test. He even gave the answers beforehand. He is essay heavy though, tough marker but gave very good feedbacks that really help.

Hands down a very nice, chill and relatable professor who wants everyone to do well in his course. He is a hard marker, but the feedback he gives are very helpful and will help you to improve your writing. Participation is voluntary, but he encourages everyone to speak out.

Comment:

Avoid. Worst teacher Ive ever come across. He does not care, smirks at you/your failures and makes you feel helpless. He thinks he knows everything. If he does he would not be grading an intro English class like a 3/4 th year English class. If your mental health and money means something to you please avoid.

Very Tough Grader, Doesn't explain whats expected from assignments until we receive the grade back, ENGL 1100 is supposed to be taught in way where everybody is introduced to the material and its explained whats expected and how to do them.

I have taken three of Pauls classes now and he has really helped me improve as a writer. His classes are not an easy A, you will have to read a lot and put time into essays, but you will learn a lot.

Paul is an amazing professor - that is, if youre the type of student that is willing to put in the work needed to get a high grade. If youre looking for a class that will enhance your writing and research skills, choose one with Paul. If youre looking for an easy A and hate doing assigned readings, youre better off choosing someone else.

Comment:

His class is very frustrating. He moves very quickly through notes and expects you to keep up. He is disorganized and forgets to post documents on Moodle that were originally promised. He tends to go off track when lecturing. That being said his lectures are entertaining. He does not explain assignments well at all.

Comment:

Paul is one of the worst profs ever. I mean this, don't take his class. He is rude, condescending, and off topic. Toughest marker. I have redone this course and gotten an A-. Idk why he grades (1100) an intro class as a second or third-year course. Stay away from his class, so unapproachable and when you do he makes it known he's smarter than u.

Well, where do I start with Ohler. Avoid at all cost. Will accuse you of cheating by having someone just lookover an essay paper for you or even worse plaigirism, just because a few citations were missed unintentionally. Wow! A real piece of work! Will avoid to mark your papers until he is done his investigations! Had nightmares because of him.

Really bad teacher, he treats students like they are stupid and gives them no hope to make any improvements. He told me that there was no point of me coming back to class because Id fail either way. I havent registered for my next semester yet because I have no hope for my self now...

Paul isn't bad. He's a great lecturer but he treats the class like they're stupid. He isn't approachable whatsoever which makes seeking help difficult. He also comes across as arrogant at times and is condescending to students. His grading in inconsistent. Sometime's he's easy, others really difficult. He gives a flexible range of assignments.

Comment:

Ohler isn't a bad professor at all. The only flaw that's evident in his teaching style is that he practically assumes everybody in the class are idiots, and subsequently, this leads to him also being a hard marker. While this in itself isn't inherently bad and can potentially incite growth, it doesn't help when the guy comes off as condescending.

He is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he is teaching, very funny and he knows what he is talking about BUT he is a tough grader, I do not recommend him if you are not that good in English yet especially with writing techniques. But overall, a good teacher, gives constructive feedback, and is a helpful and open professor.

Comment:

He is a very tough grader and does not give constructive feedback. His essays are in-class and closed-book aka you have to remember specific events in the books. I would not suggest taking this teacher if you arent strong in English yet and want constructive feedback.

I took his English 1100 online. I enjoyed his class. He gives solid constructive feedback that helps to improve your writing skills. I also liked that we knew what was going to be on the exam before.

I enjoyed Ohler's class. He is very knowledgable about the material he teaches. Just like other English courses, you have to put effort and keep up with the readings if you want to get a good mark. But the good thing about Ohler is that he is well organized and even tells what the exam will be about beforehand.

Comment:

The guy is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, and clearly passionate: does not want to advance the lecture without feeling confident that the class understands the material. Uses plenty of pop culture reference to explain key ideas from the course material. Very witty. Great at explaining an incredibly confusing textbook. Literally came for the lectures.
