Professor Pagan was one of the best teachers I've ever had721. Most students are intimidated by professors, but he really does make it easy to come to him with questions and any issues you have pertaining to class. Attendance is a big thing, because you miss a lot of important class discussion. Never boring. Would take again.

You'll never find a professor that is more engaged with student success. If your paper isn't an "A" paper, he will let you revise it. His peer review workshops are great, and he will even help revise it for you. He is there for you anytime, through email or class. You can ask him anything and he'll help. I took him twice, and most students return

I took Hispanic lit with him, and even though I am not Hispanic, this was the best course I've taken so far. The professor is amazing and inspirational. However, you do have to read whatever he assigns to you. Highly recommend taking any course with him.

Professor Pagán is LITERALLY the best professor anyone could ever ask for. I dont say this lightly. Ive never met a teacher or professor in my life who cares about their students success as much as him. Hes accessible, real, and respectful. He adheres to deadlines and attendance, but people comply anyway because hes well-respected. Take him.

He's truly the best professor i've ever had for english hands down. I went into his class thinking I wasn't able to write a paper, but boy was I wrong. He gives the best feedback and will always be there to help you. He will help you if he sees your desire to be helped. Very laidback and caring. Makes you confident in your potential to write papers

Prof Pagan is easily the best professor I've ever had at PBSC. The class was moved online due to COVID-19 but he was so considerate and supportive during the transition. This class will have you getting real deep into your conversation and Prof Pagan truly does expose you to a new way of thinking and empathizing. Theres a reason why hes rated a 5.

If you're looking for a professor who genuinely cares about your success, I highly recommend Professor Michael Pagan. Encourages students to find and use their own voice in writing, which helped me avoid using unnecessary words, making my work feel more authentic and clear.

I love this professor. He is the funniest and most relatable guy ever. Seems scary only bc he takes attendance and effort very seriously. He rarely (if ever) accepts late work and attendance is very mandatory but I promise he is the best guy ever and you'll love him.
