I'm absolutely horrible at math and I got a D. He's a decent teacher though, I'll give him that. Just don't take him if you're really bad at math like me. My one complaint is that he NEVER puts the easier problems on the tests, always the absolute hardest ones he can find.He does give you partial credit, but that doesn't really make up for it, IMO.

Mr. Pawella is a really understanding and nice teacher. Although, when he gives homework he generally doesn't explain it until after you've done it. I'm not too strong in math, but, thankfully my mom is a teacher so I had her help explain it. If you aren't too good at math and need a lot of explanation, then this may not be the best teacher for you

His class was a hybrid, so he did not require attendance. Halfway through the semester I was the only student who showed up, so I got a 1 on 1 lecture every week. His lectures were easy to understand, and he made the tests and quizzes manageable. He was understanding and accommodating throughout the semester, and wanted all his students to succeed

I took his online summer course and he is the best professor/teacher I have ever had. I have been out of school for years and I was able to excel in his class. His lectures are very clear and he doesn't skip over any information. I emailed him several times and he got right back to me with detailed help. I wish he could teach all my courses!

Online accelerated course over summer. He seems like a good guy. I read the reviews on here and chose him. Hes not hard but if you actually want to understand what youre doing then hes not the right choice. Most of his lecture is just writing stuff down and not giving full explanations on why or how hes done something. Hes very organized tho.

First time ever taking a statistics class and this professor made it great! His online lectures were easy to understand during this 5 week summer course. I can't complain about anything other than buying the expensive textbook and not opening it once.

Professor Pawela is one of the best math teachers at RCSJ!! Took his hybrid stats course and although you're only graded on a few quizzes and tests, it was all online. They were short and simple and went over the topic he would teach in class (if you wanted to go) and from videos online. He dropped a few low grades too at the end of the semester.

I personally took his 5-week online algebra and trig course and I love this professor! Looking back I see that the textbook doesn't matter much because he gives 15 assignments (3 a week), all of which have a video(s) of very thorough lectures to watch beforehand. He is very in-depth and very responsive with questions. Hope to have him again!

Explains everything very in depth. Took his 15 week stats online and never had an issue. Only assignments were a quiz per week and exam every 3 weeks. All are multiple choice. Homework videos for extra help. Drops two lowest quiz and one lowest exam grade too. No textbook needed. Great teacher!

Professor Pawela is great. I signed up for the hybrid class so after the first-day attendance is not mandatory you can take the class fully online. Class setup and due dates are very clear and consistent every week. Homework is optional and isn't graded quizzes every week and tests every 3 weeks. Videos are clear to understand

Hands down my favorite professor I have had. Taking his online course, he goes into great detail on his lectures, but he is not boring to listen to!! Very easy class. Homework and lectures are not graded, only quizzes and exams. I would highly recommend this class.

Just take the course online. After the first lecture he explains its the exact same material. In person lectures consist of him explaining the video posted online in person. An easy A.

I took Prof Pawela for a hybrid stats class. Classes were optional, and the whole course was fully accessible online. He posts all of his lectures ahead of time. Only grades on quizzes and exams, both fully open-book and open-note. He's super clear and very available for extra help whenever!

He was great. I missed three quizzes and an exam, and he allowed me to make it up for full credit. His lectures were very helpful and the quizzes and exams are 10 questions and 20 questions long, respectively. It was a lot to do, but as an accelerated course, that's to be expected.
