Course the exact same as Math 31 in high school, questions just become more challenging. Web assignments are simple. Exams are long and questions are difficult. Otherwise, he is willing to help and pretty funny... if you get his jokes.

I would recommend paying attention in class; if not for the material, then for the puns that usually go over everyone's heads. Makes class moderately interesting considering the subject, and explains everything very clearly. Don't buy the textbook unless you want extra practise and notes.

Did Calculus 31 AP, didn't d0 well. But his class is easier and shorter. Attend lecture to get/reinforce past ideas/concepts, and do not not study for the final like i did.It was all integrals page after page, which my brain decided to forget on test day. Provides online notes, if you copy the answers in class then you don't need the text.

Great prof. He presents statistics in a really clean and organized way. He's also pretty hilarious and a lot of the time, awkward. His notes are great, his explantation of concepts is clear, and his tests are very fair. I wish I had also taken MATH 113 with Paul. I would defiantly recommend him to everyone. Final was very fair and had no surprises.

Always very organized and explains concepts clearly. Exams are fair. Go over class examples and do practice midterms+finals and you shouldn't have a problem. The material is extremely boring, but his jokes make class a little more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.

The course itself is quite challenging but I thought he did a fair job of teaching it. His jokes are a little dry as no one would usually get them but it made the class entertaining.

The subject of stats isn't easy to stay excited about in class, but he probably does the best job out of any teacher at keeping a kinda boring subject interesting. Horribly funny puns, and his tests are entertaining

Very funny and very kind. Very important to do all of the practice exams well in advance. Because it is consolidated, I cannot comment on "his" tests, but the questions he did have influence over did have theory basis. Try to come to classes.

Paul is a great prof. He's really into stats & is able to convey that in a way that makes it easy to learn the material. I didn't use the textbook as I found his notes were easy to learn from. He's readily available if you need help in the class through emailoffice hours. He's really into pop culture which makes the class oodles of fun. A+ prof!

Paul was an awesome prof! Stats is a pretty dry subject, and even though some don't like his movie references, they help to keep the class a little more lively and focused. He is always available for help when needed and responds to e-mails quickly! He also was able to provide an example for every possible type of question you could run into.

Paul is an awesome prof! I see some people rate him as bad, but honestly it's the material that's tough, it's not the teaching. You just have to review and practice. He always does his best to explain everything and responds to emails almost immediately. I would definitely recommend Paul to anyone, great prof.

Paul really makes statistics much better than it seemed to be. He is always willing to help students and explains everything in this class well detailed. He goes over materials for the mid terms and finals which is awesome. I am happy I took his class and will recommend him for anyone. Attend his classes because new things are always said in class.

I had to withdraw his class, but certainly Paul is an amazing teacher. Even though English is not my first language of instruction he was always willing to help me and he always answered my questions with all the patience in the world. Very nice guy! I didn't understand most of his jokes tho... jajaja but it Is cause I didn't grew up in Canada.

Can't say much for exams and assignments as that is all standardized between all the STAT classes. He is a good lecturer. Explains the concepts well. Pay attention and make sure you understand everything as you go. Hilarious guy. Annoying hilarious but hilarious none the less. Makes class really fun. I'd take him again.

Definitely a great professor! Makes everything as clear as possible, and answers all questions asked! Makes tonnsss of pop-culture references and jokes in class, which definitely kept me awake during a 9AM stats class! Very helpful with reviewing the material for midterms and finals, even the labs! Would recommend this professor!

He is flexible and sense of fun. However, if you take his course you may find his notes are simple, short and does not help much, I always download the other professor's notes who named FOK.?(don't remember the whole name).

He tries to be funny all the time, but not many people laughs aboutget his jokes. Test are EASY, like VERY EASY, if you do the exam practice you will gaurantee pass, even you're bad in mathstats, you will get ATLEAST 60-70. Actual exams are ALMOST same as practice exams, if you can ace the procedure in the practice exam, you will do very well.

I really liked him as a prof - he made so many hilarious jokes all the time that I always wanted to go to class. Unfortunately I'm horrible at stats, but that's not his fault. He always helped me when I went for extra help and he is a really nice guy. Definitely a good professor.

Paul was a great prof, really funny and engaging, while teaching what we actually needed to know. He replies to emails relatively quickly & is super helpful. Make sure you go to the Lab help sessions, I've heard it's easy to get the answers there. Paul's notes are often incomplete (as far as examples) so being present is recommended!

Calc 114 is a really difficult course especially if you haven't taken math 31 and math 35 in high school. He is a funny guy, makes a lot of dad jokes. He's a pretty nerdy guy but he makes math more interesting than it probably is. I would definitely recommend Paul as a prof if you have to take this class.

You don't really need to buy the textbook, didn't use it at all, used the internet to find most things i didn't know. The homework is time consuming but fairly easy to get 100% on. Mid-Term was very difficult. Paul says some good puns and keeps a STATS class as interesting as it can be, sometimes this can be trying, especially when trying to focus.

He is a very funny guy and tells many jokes through class (usually no one gets them lol) and he definitely has useful examples and tells you what is likely to be covered on the exams (2). Watching Khan Academy and other people on youtube work through examples helped me through this course. Overall he's a good prof but perhaps not for Math 114.

LOVE PAUL!!! He is a good instructor as well as helpful outside of the classroom. Calculus is a hard class especially if you didn't take it in highschool (take pre/post calc with Margie!!) but he makes it much more manageable. No heavy accent like a lot of the other profs which is always a good thing. Plus he's adorable, would recommend!

He tells many bad jokes during his lectures but it makes it funny, he has good notes however some of the ways he solves examples are a little confusing, if you took calc in high school or take pre-calc with Margie it makes it easier to follow along with him. Overall, decent prof.

Paul Cartledge is an alright professor. He understands what he is doing, however he skims over important topics that one needs to know for the final. He makes jokes in class (some that are bad, some that no one gets the reference), but he is always willing to help during office hours, and friendly guy too. Expect to do homework all the time.

Amazing prof. His extensive knowledge of the film industry makes his class examples far more applicable to real life. He is also extremely witty and will make stats bearable. Our exams were consolidated. Online assignments were easy marks. Paul prepares you very well for the lab assignments.

You wanted to go to lectures just to hear the puns he would make that day. Very passionate about statistics & very funny guy. Responds to emails quickly and clearly. Would definitely recommend taking Stats with Cartledge.

Passionate, funny teacher. Prepare you well for exams with clear notes which he posts online in advance. Great experience for a first year stats course.

Paul cartledge if you ever read this, please put spaces in your notes to write the examples. Please! There's barely any room to write anything. A chapter of notes should not be on one page.

Paul is the best. He's always there to help you without judgement. Final is absolutely brutal though. Take your time on the midterm too. Paul is the only reason I passed and even didn't hate Stats which was required.

Absolutely loves his jokes, and they definitely make class more enjoyable. Got a 50 on the midterm because I barely looked at my notes, but started to go see Paul and he was very helpful. Did better on the final and ended with a B- so can't really complain

A really great lecturer who honestly loves statistics, so any issues are really just with the course material.

Prof. Cartledge was very clear and engaging, which was really great in a stats course. He made this class very entertaining and interactive. The concepts were clear and well-explained and while there was a lot of homework I found it helpful.

Dr. Cartledge is a great prof for this course! Not only do his jokes make the material somewhat more bearable, but his tests aren't that bad either. Literally, if you do the practice mid term/ final exam you'll be good. Really helpful during office hours. There is a lab or homework due every week, which are pretty lengthy. Make sure to attend class

Paul is absolutely amazing, he is very clear in his explanations and puts it into simpler terms so that everyone can understand. Going to class is a must as he does many in class examples that supplement his notes to help you better understand the material. Overall, he made the class more enjoyable with his puns and pop culture references :)

Stats151 is ridiculously difficult but Paul makes it more bearable. Don't buy the textbook, just buy the online homework that comes with an e-text anyway.

Cartledge was really clear on what was expected and emphasized what was important or places that students usually had issues. Also filled the lecture with puns anywhere he could. Made boring material more interesting.

Overall, paul is not bad. He speaks so fast and you have to concentrate on him every seconds or you will lose some important knowledge points. He is kind and humor, he usually tells some jokes to adjust the atmosphere. Notes are important to this course.

Paul is awesome and very punny. Jokes actually helped me relate to subject material. Need to go to class. Tests are the exact same format as the practice ones he gives you so use them as reference. Very accessible outside of class so take advantage. Honestly, anyone who hates on Paul has no sense of humour. Very enjoyable!

Amazing prof! Lectures were fast paced so make sure you pay attention. The course material is super challenging but Paul makes it a lot more clear and is super easy to follow (also very funny.) overall cares genuinely about student success so ask him any questions!

Stats 235 is not overly difficult conceptually BUT is massively packed with content. Attendance and reading over notes before doing assignments is crucial. Paul makes classes and content enjoyable - I'd rather go to his 8 am classes than any other profs 9 -10 am class. He's caring about his students, helpful, and punny as heck.

If you can get past his bad, forced puns and his sometimes strange sense of humour, he is a really good prof. He stressed a lot during the course that he was teaching beyond the course, that he wanted us to use what he taught in our future careers which I really appreciated.

real mvp

Paul was pretty good. He gives plenty of examples and goes over everything in detail. Sometimes he uses terminology that can be confusing and not realize that it an be confusing but he always asks if anyone has questions. He also loves movies and makes plenty of pop culture references.

Our class had the lowest midterm average (50.1%) of all classes, but literally every class blew it on the midterm. He told us that's an unusually low average so idk. I dropped because I couldn't risk the F. That said, Paul is such a nice guy and really truly wants to help you - go to his office hours, he's so approachable.

Paul was a relatable, humorous, & intelligent professor. Super approachable and down to Earth, and really cares about his students. That being said, this is a difficult class. The homework and labs can be a bit excessive, and the midterm was very difficult with an average of 50% without curving, leaving half of students in a bad position.

Paul had awesome jokes and really good examples for statistics 151. me he actually recognized me on campus which was nice, I found his homework was reasonable but this is a prof that you definitely can't miss class for. 10/10 would go bad for teacher. would take extra courses in stats if I required them. If you're reading this Paul, hit me up.

Great prof, good at teaching, midterm was easy and the final was fair Pls no more puns tho paul i know youre reading this : ok well maybe just a little

Cartledge was VERY helpful and approachable outside of class. His jokes were enjoyable, but distracting at times. HARD midterm, decent final if you know what you're doing. Online assignments were awesome because if you do them you get 100%. Hated the labs because working with people you don't know can be frustrating. STAT 151 makes you work.

Engaging and well-structured lectures. If you show up to class and understand how to approach each given example, you won't be surprised on the exams; the questions are straightforward and fair. The textbook is helpful but not necessary. So many puns! At least 10 per 50 minute class. The frustration of having to listen to the keeps you awake.

Paul is great so far for stats. His lectures are good, since he always has puns that make 9 AM class a bit less boring. His notes are concise and to the point, but this helps with studying as they only have important info/examples. Sometimes class is boring, but it is stats lol. Great intro to stats prof for first years.

Cartledge is very good for stats. Puts lots of puns into the class to make a somewhat dry class (9AM for me) interesting, his notes are good and concise, and lots of variations of his examples are on the midterm that help you study. The class really isn't that hard, and the labs and homework help your mark. But stats 151 isn't curved!

He is a really funny teacher if you appreciate puns and pop-culture references. Give great examples in class. You have to put in a lot of your own work into doing well in this class. His lecture notes are not as in-depth as the other professors, so I would recommend using the textbook and other professors notes as supplementary notes

TAKE PAUL!! He makes stats interesting & engaging. His notes are AMAZING!! His office hours are awesome & he's so helpful outside of class. He guy genuinely wants you to do well & is willing to help you get to where you want to be. Supportive guy-- you don't come across many profs like Paul. TAKE PAUL you won't regret it

Paul made stats super fun and interesting to be in! It's a terrible course but Paul definitely makes it better. Beware of the group lab projects as they turn out to be absolute gong shows and the midterm is super hard and honestly unfair. The final is much better! Do all the homework assignments as they're an easy 100%.

Very energetic, hilarious, and passionate about Stats, makes the class bearable and interesting compared to other profs. Sometimes goes a bit fast in his lectures typically and finishes the chapter reviews before the other Stats profs and then reviews for longer. He posts his notes however they aren't very detailed so go to the lectures!

Great prof all around. He is probably the best stats prof because: he speaks good english, he is funny in lectures and just makes an all around hard course somewhat interesting.

dude loves movies

Drops the occasional joke to keep things lively, and speaks clearly. Overall great prof.

Very good prof, good humor. Hardest class I ever had to take, but he made me want to show up every morning and work.

Stats isn't a walk in the park, but Paul tries his best to incorporate his humour, pop culture references and all around geekiness to make it slightly more entertaining. He speaks very clearly, and is helpful during office hours to clear up topics during class (he can go a bit quick). Attendance is mandatory as his note pack examples are left blank

Paul makes Stat lectures bearable although sometimes he talks really fast that it's hard to keep up. His lecture examples are great, I just recommend doing a lot of hands on examples with him. I find his jokes really funny which help you to focus on him and on what he's teaching. 1 midterm & 1 final determines takes up 80% of your mark.

Paul may or may not have a thick Russian accent so beware of that lol. He is always trying to make the class laugh and make stats less dull. He makes a ton of pop culture references so celebrate the ones you get. You have to work hard if it's your first time learning stats but Paul is the best prof I've had at the U(A) and he loves hockey.

Paul is such a nice and funny guy but his lectures are always confusing. Never really understood what was going on though. His midterm was BRUTAL but final was a little easier, still tough. His notes do not help though, so you might want to seek help from others. He does have notes online, but examples he fills in class so DONT skip

He is super helpful in office hours and explains concepts very effectively in class focusing on the theory portion in stats. His notes are quite condensed so would recommend doing extra practice problems using Simchi 's notes. Overall he made a dry course very interesting.

Hated stats, but paul was alright. He tries to make a boring class fun, but sometimes falls short. You really need to continuously do practice problems to really get the material though, and there are almost weekly assignments and labs (which are basically just really long assignments). Good guy though overall

Paul was an awesome prof. He spoke very clearly and his notes were helpful, although he does the examples in class. He doesn't do a lot of short examples (like you would encounter on the exams) but rather one or two long ones. Never had to read the textbook or consult other resources other than him because he was that good at explaing topics.

He is very knowledgeable and accessible, however the tests are tough. This is very true for some international students who are not used to multiple choice exams. Talking about that, English is not my mother tongue and this was my first term at UofA. I had a hard time to understand what he said because he speaks too fast!!!!

Very nice prof even through he talks Very fast in lectures. The course itself is challenging but the tests are easy if you know what your doing.

He's EXTREMELY funny, however, he says so many jokes it can be distracting when you are frantically writing down notes and trying to wrap your head around the material. Don't waste your time with the textbook imo, just go to the stats extra help and USE OFFICE HOURS. Exams will probably kill you, labs are annoying and tedious- first ones the worst

Paul is a very understanding prof as I was hospitalized a day before the midterm and he allowed me to differ the weight of my midterm to the final exam. I really appreciated the stress that was lifted off my shoulders. I did not enjoy the content of STATS 151, but had to take it for my degree. Would not take STATS again, but enjoyed Paul as a prof.

Paul is a hilarious prof. He makes a pop culture pun about every 30 seconds and clearly attempts to make stats - a very dry course - fun and tolerable. Stats can be quite difficult, but if you put in some effort you should do fine. Without Paul, stats would've been extremely boring.

I never thought I would look forward to go to an 8 am class. His lectures are very lively and full of puns! which makes the course ( and waking up early for a class) tolerable. He explains the topics very thoroughly and makes sure everyone in the class understands the concept (of course with puns and jokes).

Solid prof trys to make a boring class enjoyable

I must say, I was thoroughly surprised with Paul. He really puts in work to make Stats interesting, and he succeeds at it. Out of all of the statistics professors I have had (1 other), he is by far my favorite. He really works to make sure the concepts are understood, rather then just being able to plug formulas.

Paul was a pretty solid choice for stats. His notes are very condensed and explain topics pretty well. The course itself is difficult as both the midterm and final are consolidated exams. He provided extra examples for us for difficult topics and he made reviews for both the midterm and final exams. Go to class though, it really helps!

Class is actually easier than 151 as there are less concepts to know. I barely passes 151 but did pretty decent in this (not on the final though but that was my fault). Go to class! take notes, and ask questions, it helps. Paul makes lots of nerdy jokes which makes the class go by faster. Overall it was pretty good.

His nickname should be mushroom because he is a fun guy.

Regardless of your prof, stat151 is one of the toughest uni courses. However, Paul made it more bearable. Midterm and Final exam with labs and online homework worth 20%. Study hard and become a master with the material and you'll do fine. Listen in class and practice practice practice the material. One of the better choices of prof for stat151

To be honest, I absolutely hated stats in high school and first year. But after i took this class with Paul I actually started to enjoy stats and now i don't have stat-phobia anymore. Keep up with his lecture notes and you will be fine for all exams. Yeah but the assignments and labs for this course are killers.

Honestly a solid professor, heard terrible things about stats but Paul made it way more interesting. He did tell a lot of jokes but it kept me from falling asleep every class. Would recommend.

Really clear during lectures, repeats the important things in lectures so you know certain questions will be on exams. Lots of puns which makes you want to pay attention. He doesn't upload the completed notes but he brings them all to class and you can take photos after lecture so attendance isn't important unless you take detailed notes.

Stats at UofA is hard despite of which teacher you decide to choose as your teacher. It all depends on the work you decide to put into the course. If you skip class or don't pay attention, you will fall behind. You will have to be in groups for labs with people you do not know. Paul is one of the best STATS teachers at UofA. He teaches well!

Paul is awesome

Not a bad choice for stats. I didn't mind his "jokes" but he got pretty condescending sometimes, often repeating like "people always get this wrong but it's so easy I can't understand how". Otherwise his notes are solid and lecturing above average. Textbook not needed since assignment questions are posted but assignments take days to complete.

On the first day of class he spoke with a Russian type accent for at least 30 minutes and then said 'Well enough of that fake accent". It was hilarious. I would highly recommend taking STAT 151 with Paul. Go to class and take notes because he doesn't post them. The homework assignments are long so don't leave those to the last minute either.

Mans just amazing. Over three years I've done at the U of A, I have never understood a course so darn well. His dad jokes only make it more entertaining and if you pay attention 100% during the lectures, those long homework assignments are a breeze. I took him summer term (no lab partners) and found the hw assgns helpful asf. BEST TEACHER NO CAP!!!

As a person who is horrible at all things math I can 100% recommend him for stats. The course is quite dry but he does the best possible way of brightening up the lectures with his jokes. I took it in the summer with him so it was a little fast paced but yet again, hes an amazing prof so he did a great job at teaching us.

Stat 151 is sometimes unbearable, but he actually makes lectures alright. Solid prof, funny guy. Usually enjoyed going to class. However, if you struggle with math, I wouldn't recommend as he goes fast, but otherwise would totally recommend.

Paul is great. Very funny and engaging. there is a lot of assignments but theyre not very hard and give you multiple attempts. Thanks Paul

Paul was an excellent professor who made class engaging and fun. He would joke all the time and his jokes were always content related. Hes also very understanding and patient so if you need help dont be shy to ask. He goes over a lot of content in class so if you dont go you will be lost when it comes to examples he goes over specifically.

As far as material goes, it's the same for every other stats class at the UofA. However, Paul really does try to make it engaging for everyone. I am not a math person by any means, but I did better than I could've thought. Yes, he explains everything better in class, but you should be going to class anyways. Highly recommend!

He was a good prof. But his notes are not the best to study from so reading the textbook or another profs notes would be helpful. He explained the material well and made lots of joke (not all were funny).

Great prof

He is a very funny professor if you also like movies and pop culture because you might get more of his references, personally they made the lecture easier to attend. Using the textbook plus attending class helps a ton. He is very helpful and is fast at responding to emails. I would highly recommend him if you need this class!

Paul is a really good prof he made sure that the content was understood but he does go fast. He makes lots of bad jokes which kind of livens the class up a bit. Midterm was wack but I think most of it is pretty straight forward if u know ur stuff. Statlab groups are a hit or miss so anyone reading this don't be that group member horror story :"))

I believe Paul is a great, engaging professor with great humour and wit. Stats is difficult and all 151 sections are the same despite the teacher so the grade mark down ect is not up to him. He really makes the course more enjoyable and makes it easier than other profs have in the past. if you have him as a choice for stat 151 chose him!!

Paul's lectures are rather dry because of the material, but he always puts in extra effort through adding jokes and puns to his notes. There are 4 labs (group projects), online homework assignments, and a midterm and final in this course. You need a strong understanding of the english language to take this course because questions are very specific

I loved taking Paul's class. I hated stats as a course but I would not have wanted to take it with anyone else. Paul is hilarious and genuinely cares about his students. I had so many issues with lab group members and Paul always helped me. 100% would take again. I don't think I would have done as well with any other prof.

Professor Paul is a really nice guy but I felt he had a tendency to overcomplicate things at times. That being said, he was very helpful in office hours and there are plenty of practice exam questions to familiarize yourself with the course material. Wize exam prep online was my hero. It is specifically for Uof A and helps simplify everything!

Stats 151 is a brutal class but taking it with Paul was a great choice. His notes are a little over complicated but he always wants to help students. He really cares about the wellbeing of students. If you have to take stats, take it with him.

Agree with others that the notes are a bit brief/complicated but overall is a very caring prof who wants students to succeed. Makes MANY jokes (some better than others) which can brighten lectures. Success in stats requires a lot of work but he is willing to help you if you're willing to put in the effort. Gives quick responses to emails etc.

Paul is a good instructor. He adds jokes to his lectures which makes the lectures enjoyable for sure. His office hours are great for understanding the material. He definitely makes you work for answers though, but the feedback he gives is very good. Overall he made stat 151 enjoyable for sure. Would recommend.

Great guy, makes lectures interesting. He cares deeply about his work and his students and is more than happy to respond to any questions you have. Found he overcomplicates things a bit though as I seemed to understand better when I taught myself stats. Would recommend though, he's a clear speaker and very entertaining.

I found his lectures funny and engaging (even though his sense of humour is kinda weird). I found the homework and in class questions harder than the actual exam questions but in turn I was super prepared. The tests were very fair. The only thing is that he gives really cryptic and vague feedback through email (though he does reply pretty quick).

Paul: great taste in movies, questionable sense of humor (but the effort is extraordinary), and pretty decent choice for STAT 151. Can be a little hard to follow but encourages questions. Super accessible- fast replies. If you want to put the work in, he wants you to succeed. Statistics is boring- but I promise you that it's not with Paul.

I can't blame the professor for the difficult content, thats on me. He's a really funny guy though, made me smile a lot:)

This was my second try taking stats after taking a W a couple years prior. I was petrified of taking stats but Paul's lectures were always entertaining. He always quickly responded to questions I had and always supported and encouraged student success. I'd suggest not wasting any time with the textbook and do the practice problems on eClass instead

Paul is a really nice guy and had great communication throughout the term. He always tried his best to answer questions during online lectures and wasn't demeaning when he answered. Online homework assignments were fair and the group lab projects were pretty easy if you worked together and read all the instructions. Paul allowed notes during final.

As with any mathmatic course, you're gonna need to study a lot, but Paul makes statistics surprisingly enjoyable. Expect a lot of puns in his lectures.

There's way too much hate for Paul. He's a great professor. He always gave all of the information that was needed, there wasn't any point where he didn't give enough information about exams/ assignments. It's true that he's tough, and he can come off a bit rude, but it seems like it's mostly because he wants everyone to do well in his class.

Paul's a great prof, he gives lots of examples and resources to make sure his students understand the material. He's VERY thorough with proctored exams and he may go too in depth for basic content to the point that it's confusing and irrelevant to exams. However, his puns are awesome and always lighten the mood especially in online lectures.

Paul somehow makes stats entertaining (he has really impressive puns), but his feedback is seriously lacking. It's pretty vague because he doesn't want to spoon-feed you, but if you're seriously struggling then it's just frustrating. Regardless, to pass any stats class, all you have to do is study religiously and you'll be fine.

I took 252 as a spring class and condensed down that way, there is a lot of work for sure. As someone who has taken and failed multiple stats classes he made the subject a lot more approachable than any prof Ive had before because he takes it slow and has a very positive demeanor.

Paul is generally an on choice, I just happen to be very mathematically incompetent. Although, he can be pretty hard to follow sometimes because he has a tendency to get excited about the topic and then go into way to much detail for what this class is. I appreciate that he tries his best to keep you engaged.

Firstly, dont buy the digital textbook, its a waste of time and it doesnt work. Secondly, Dr. Cartledge is so engaging and upbeat in his lectures. I am horrible at listening in class, but I never had a problem with Dr. Cartledge and he moved at the perfect pace and kept my attention.

Paul is a sweetheart, and his great jokes make those 8 am lectures fly by, it really helps keep students engaged. He is very concise (his notes are too) and he also sends out a lot of email reminders which is soo helpful for staying on top of course content. The fun examples he uses add some spice to what is a traditionally 'boring' class.

He's a very nice prof, very funny and cracked jokes which helped lighten the mood. Was also very accessable during office hours, sent out class summary emails, lots of resources, etc. My one complaint would be that as someone who isn't a math person, I found his teaching style a bit difficult to follow & his notes were very brief.

Makes lots of jokes, and keeps you decently entertained. The course itself is difficult but our average on the midterm was higher than other sections. This class is not curved

Thorough notes that contain the information you need. If taking this class I suggest actively attending the lectures, it makes things easier. He's very funny too.

His lectures are good. If it wasn't at 8AM I would've attended more of them. There are so many resources on the course page for this class that you can really do it in a self directed manner if you prefer. He genuinely cares about his students, even emailing the day before the final as a reminder. Labs were bad because group members wouldn't help.

Honestly overhated. I think he's pretty funny. Like, for an 8am stats class, I don't know what can be expected. I'd go to the other prof for notes tho

he did his best to make the lectures entertaining, and his notes were clear and concise (though if you need more detail, use the other profs notes). the examples he used in class would often draw on examples from previous classes which made things confusing. overall a good prof for the nightmare that is stat 151 for many of us

Cracks lots of puns and is overall one of the better professors for first year math, as he is actually understandable and explains things if you ask him to. He does skim over a lot of definitions as I'm guessing he assumes everyone has already taken precalculus prior to the course and has knowledge beforehand. HW wise, he just follows the math fac.

Paul is a decent professor. Explained all the content pretty well. Was very easy to access outside of class and help explain concepts further. Made the lectures pretty fun with his jokes and examples. He was very kind to accept a group project of mine that was handed in late when it should've been marked a 0.

As much as some of his jokes did not land, we all appreciated the effort. Good prof, go to class and actually listen if you want to do well. Sometimes, lectures can be slightly hard to follow since Paul tends to skip the very basics, but it comes together in doing practice questions. Overall great! Even answered last-minute emails before exams!

This professor was good at lecturing but the tests seemed much harder than any of the examples we received. He did give great feedback and assistance when you talked to him which was much appreciated. Always tried to make a light class with clear expectations.

Stat 151 is a hard course, and a lot of people blame him for that when it's the same for every prof. Paul is caring and provides lots of outside help and feedback, you just need to ask. His notes are direct and he gives lots of examples. Do the practice lots and it gets easy. Examples get complication near the end, so don't skip class.

He always says the worse dad jokes and puns-- in the best possible way. He makes the material easy to understand. I would take this professor again if I could.

Perhaps the content is not the easiest but he definitely tries to make it enjoyable. He is available via e-mail or in person. Super nice man and may go a bit fast. But to be honest, it's better than a "slow reading from slides" prof. Stats courses have lots of homework but that's stats.

I LOVED his class. His lectures were clear. If I got confused while learning in class, I could normally understand by re-reading the annotations from class. He loves to relate things to pop culture and makes many movie references and jokes, even if you dont get them. Hes personable and always willing to answer questions and get you thinking.

Does he talk a lot? yes. Does he make some decent jokes? yes. He teaches in equations and examples mostly and if that doesn't work for you then i would avoid. BUT the sass this man contained after the USA elections, kept me entertained all class. He a stats baddie and MAN does he know it. Iconic.

Really nice guy. His classes are pretty easy to follow and he's always available if you need help. I use roannas videos as additional learning in case something is unclear, but overall if you pay attention and do the assignments, not a bad course.

Paul is an excellent professor for STAT 151 very caring and funny guy. His office hours can be humbling, but him and his tas truly try their best to help you to understand the material. I would recommend this class to anyone who requires a math credit and is willing to work to understand material.

Always told a few jokes at the beginning of class. very nice and always helpful. he did use data sets where it was hard to see where he got the numbers from. He can go through questions really fast so make sure you review them so you know you understand them. But if you are pretty good at math and do a lot of practice questions you will do fine.

The examples were funny or more interesting, but I had to use Rosana Fok's notes to learn the material on my own. He seems like a nice guy and all, but his notes are harder to reference (maybe some colour could help) and less visually pleasing, while his lectures go over my head. He did answer questions though if you were curious.

Very nice, fairly funny prof. Lectures are really hard to follow because of how much context switching there is, and the posted notes aren't much help either. But if you email or go to office hours he takes his time to explain concepts and examples. He also provides justification as to why marking takes so long and why solutions can't be posted.

Paul is a chill prof with ok puns and teaches stats decently. Get 100% on unlimited homework, attend labs, and ask the TA—easiest marks, plus the lab exam. Exams closely match homework. The course material is boring and exam-heavy, but if you fail it's mostly on you—he wants you to pass; skipping lectures or using CHAT raises failure odds. Notably.
