I loved him! He is such an articulate and intelligent man that it made you want to listen to the things that he had to say. Although it was a lot of reading, it was really interesting. He definitely made me view writing differently after taking the class.
Paul is such a gem! He is very understanding and lenient of people's situations if you just communicate with him. Grades are based on 3 papers and 5-6 journals so do them all and you'll be fine. Every week there are about 2-3 articles to read that are discussed in class. Overall I would definitely take another class with Paul if I could.
Paul was easily one of the best professors I've had at UCSB so far. He was so understanding of current situations and allowed leeway if people needed more time on assignments. Class is only based on a few journal assignments and 3 essays-- no exams. He truly loves what he teaches so that made the class very enjoyable.
Very straightforward, intelligent professor. No tests. He loves to give writing assignments. Stay on top of them and you will be fine.
Prof. Paul is one of my best music teachers I've had. He is extremely clear with the topics he addresses and always enthusiastic in helping students. He always wants students to come to office hours and loves talking with students and getting to know them. Take a class from him!
such an easy class, and nice professor. 2 simple listening quizes, and journals, and that was it, it was a breeze. plus the professor reminds me of Ross from friends, which was kind of fun
