Paul is awesome. This guy has 4 degrees and comes across as a regular guy. Nice brainiac!

Paul is easy going and likes to share his personal experiences with his class. He is very down to earth and has a genuine interest in health in fitness. He motivated me to take a better look at my diet and exercise regime.

Paul is a stud. He's a good guy that cares about the students

Paul has been one of my favorite teachers ever. He is so helpful and understanding and likes to give extensions if needed. He is very smart and funny.

Simply put: ONE OF THE FUNNIEST PPL TO EVER WALK THE PLANET. Very much enjoyed both 102 and 200. Tough to understand at first, but you get the hang of it. And for all those in 102, look forward to the reproduction classes. :) :)

He's good and for once a teacher with an accent that I can understand. He cares which also helps.

Great guy! One of the best teachers I've ever had. Interesting class. The final is a bit tricky.

fricken amazing guy

Funniest Guy ever

Expects a lot of effort for only minimal marks. Exams are a lot more difficult than expected from course material. Just expect to be doing a lot of work and he?s not always that fast at returning student?s work. Posts notes on WebCT but you have to go to class to get all the important parts to the notes (like fill in the blanks)

I'm a mature student with no Bio or anatomy background and this guy got me the grades I needed. You MUST put in the work, it is worth it. He uses info from the lecture so listen up. Textbook is too in depth so don't stress the readings. Great sense of humor, passionate about his field and genuinely wants you to succeed.

Really good guy. Takes time getting used to his teaching methods, but once you figure it out he's an awesome teacher. Make sure you get all the powerpoint stuff down, and you should do fine. He also gives check lists for exams which is incredibly helpful. Looking forward to another physiology class with him next semester. Yay Paul!!

Paul is by far one of the best profs at MacEwan. There is a lot of work in his class, but nothing extremely hard. Put the time in (like with any class) and you'll be fine. Very funny and helpful. I'm going to miss him!

Funnest. Man. Alive.

Paul is a really fun guy, and will help you with anything you need.. He really yearns for student learning. His classes are not GPA boosters unless you study extremely hard. Review your notes every day (and not just before midterms/finals) and you will do just fine- his exams are VERY detailed so you need to know your stuff really well.

One of the most honest, best guys ever. Best prof I've ever had. Love this guy!

I really enjoyd Paul I thought he was a great teacher. You really need to pay attention to his lectures because a lot of the questions come from his slides and what he mentions in class. He can be a pretty hard marker but if you know your material you should be fine. He also gave us our long answer questions for final ahead of time.

Paul is a good teacher and a good guy all around. He has a sense of humour and I'm never bored in his classes. He'll make you do hours of pointless assignments every week though, but they are easy marks. Pay attention in class, put in some effort (easy material), and you'll get an A. Recommended.

Super easy class if you attend. Uses fill in the blank notes and gives lots of hints as to what will be on the exam. Super sweet guy as well, he is not hard to understand y'all are big babies.

Paul's class requires a lot of assignments. he has fill in the blanks notes, and at times he does tell the students what would be on the exam. If you review his notes constantly, you will do great! I thought there was just a lot of material to know,so it was time consuming to understand everything. He is an ok prof. FYI, 79-84 is a B+

ignore what everyone says about paul! i love him! I'm a mature 2nd year student and i found his class easy, just keep up in class and read the text on notes he provides and you'll do fine! also write down what he says in class! he gives away lots of answers to his exams and has study sessions which give you the answers=easy marks. highly recommend!

I studied my butt off for this class, but it really only does so much. His tests are extremely hard and you MUST come to class and MUST attend the study sessions or you will fail. Badly. I really like him as a person though, he's so kind and very funny. Ask him for help and he will help you!

Paul's a great teacher. keep in mind that attendance isn't mandatory but it is worth it to go every class. he goes through everything in great detail and keeps you writing notes over notes. his tests are hard but if you attend every class as well as his midterm review classes you will do fine. his accent is a bit heavy but it's still clear

Paul is a great professor. The material is tough but he gives his students every opportunity to do well. You MUST attend his lectures. He gives a lot of hints and questions as to what will be on the exam. Make sure you use the tools (topic checklist, practice quizzes, study sessions) he provides you with. If you put in the effort, you will do well.

awesome teacher, really detailed notes, got off topic sometimes and tells weird stories sometimes wasting class time. Gives you hints on whats going to be on his tests. Also does study sessions literally explaining how to get 100% on the written part of exams. Tests are pretty easy and straight forward, I've gotten 80+ on both midterms.

Paul is a great teacher! You must go to class in order to pass. The material is interesting but difficult if you aren't paying attention. Must study for this class! Paul tells you exactly what is on the exam as long as you go to class. Just keep on top of things and you will do fine

He assigns a lot of assignments...I think too much for what the class is worth. He spend the lectures relating the material a lot to his own personal life which gets boring after a while. He is very nice and helpful to his students but sometimes gets off track. The tests are hard.

Paul is a quite a character. He constantly laughs at his own jokes relating to the material and it's a good time. Sometimes get off topic. If you're not in class there's no way you'll pass. It's a hard class in general, but if you show up to his extra study sessions you will get 100% on written - must put in the time!

He's a really good prof! Extremely nice but you can expect A LOT of assignments, but they are easy mark boosters. You really have to put in time and attend his classes since most of his test questions are from his lectures. He always gives hints and prepares study outlines for the midterm and final! But you have to study in order to get a good mark

Paul is an awesome Prof! He makes attending class very enjoyable with his positive energy and humor. The multiple choice on his midterms are very tough, but if you attend his study sessions you are guaranteed 100% on the written if you put the effort in. Labs are only twice a semester and are very interesting, pertain to the topics in lecture.

I love Paul, great guy with a great personality. Very passionate about Physiology. Is willing to help students whenever he is available. Gives tons of information in class and during out of class study sessions. Tests are hard but fair.

Awesome prof, cares about his students and makes an effort to get to know names and will chat you up outside of class. If you put effort in you will do well.

Paul definitely makes you work for your grade. Physiology can't be expected to be easy and to get a good grade, as with any class, it is important to put the work in. You can't just expect to sit in class and pass- you will definitely fail if that's your outlook. Paul is easily accessible outside of class and is absolutely hilarious!

Great professor. i did not pay much attention in class and studied very hard for his tests and attended his study sessions and did just fine. His tests are hard but very fair. Great man also. Don't expect this class to be easy

Super funny teacher. Not a lot of content from class is actually on tests, if it is, its much more in depth than what youve learned.

Paul is a great guy but his lectures are intense. This was one of the hardest classes I had to work for in order to get an A. I enjoyed the content but it was just so time consuming to study every word that comes out of his mouth since anything he says is a potential exam question... BE PREPARED TO STUDY. Write down everything he says as well.

Paul is a absolutely hilarious guy, but his classes are definitely made to work. You cannot be lazy and do not expect to just slide through and get a easy A, you definitely have to study. If you aren't prepared to work, don't take this class, but it isn't anything harder than what you would normally expect from a university course...

Paul is probably the best prof I've ever had. He is clear in his teaching, and available whenever you need. An incredibly nice person. The only grades you get in his class is based on midterms and finals, however he gives you the exact written questions and answers for the exams. If you put in effort, you will do very well in his class.

Paul is a hilarious prof, and the lectures are detailed, but we're in University and hard work is necessary for a A. If you're looking for a Easy A, do not expect to get it in this class without studying.

He has a heavy accent so sometimes it is hard to understand, and he is very specific on tests, however, he tells you a lot of the stuff that is gonna be on the test and a lot of it is on what he says in class. If you pay attention and do the readings you'll do good.

If you come to class and study youll do well. If you tend to skip classes this is not the class for you. Paul is amazing. Very helpful and knowledgeable

Paul does a good job teaching exercise physiology. He clearly enjoys what he does and gives clear expectations with what he wants. He doesn't allow a formula sheet for his exams which confused me, but the theory questions aren't too bad. Lab stuff and final exam are worth a huge amount of your grade though (80% all together) TAKE THE LABS SERIOUSLY

Exams are all MC. Know specific details, otherwise you get tricked with the "both" "all" "3 of these" options. Try to fill in the ppt yourself (at least 10 pages or so before class, then add stuff from lectures because it will be on the tests. If you don't read ahead you won't understand lectures. Playfully competive, BUT can get misunderstood.

Lectures are well-prepared and prof really tries to give options to his students for learning. Approach him if you need clarification when you need, he is there to help. lots of information on slides to compliment the information that follow the textbook. very knowledgeable. May seem unapproachable, but quite opposite. Playfully competitive.

Paul is very passionate about his teaching. He provides an enjoyable learning environment and wants all his students to succeed. The written portion of his exams was hefty, but he would host study sessions to help practice gathering information for them. By far the best prof in the program.

He is extremely personable and helpful both in person and over emails. Tests only cover materials he went over during class which is nice but reading the textbook definitely helps with understanding. Exams have MC and written. I find the MC harder than written because the questions are often worded in a tricky way so be careful and double check.

Best prof by far. I was naive to think he's not good when I did bad in our first physio midterm. But soon I realize hes very direct and really only tests on what he covers from lectures. Even hosts study session where he practically gives the written answers. Went from B in the peds101 to A in the second term peds 103 w him.

Paul is incredibly passionate about what he teaches. His teaching style can be a bit hard to get used to, as he often jumps between topics. He also helps students outside of class and goes into more detail when needed, and hosts study sessions, which you should 100% go to. He's a great prof, just make sure you put in the effort on your end too.
