He is a really inspired guy. He gives a lot of creative freedom and a lot of constructive critisism. His classes are fun and informative, he keeps attention well. It's a class that i don't ever want to skip....and that's saying a lot.
No Comments
He was really helpful and made everything clear. He was humorous too. The class wasn't that bad.
i took paul for a weekend class, biz writing... pretty easy and lax... just take it serioulsy and youve got an a
Take this class! You won't be sorry.
This guy is good people. he is totally down to earth and will shoot the stuff with you before class yet he is still serious about teaching but in a fun way. You'll have an awesome time with Paul i recommend him to anyone.
Business writing is awesome. Paul's teaching style hasn't disappointed me yet. Every moment of the class is entertaining even when it comes to writing the papers. and if there is any professor who will do anything to help his students Paul is the guy to go to.
Paul was really cool.
Paul is a great teacher. Very fun and outgoing. Extremely helpful. Fairly lax on assignments. I highly recommend his class(es).
Paul is a great teacher. He is fun and energetic everyday and makes you want to come to class. just write your papers and you will have a great time in his class. He's the best teacher i have had so far.
Paul could make me like math if thats what he was teaching (but I am glad he does'nt). I took his FYS class and it really helped me getting into the swing of things my first semester of college. Thanks Paul!
humorous and easy going. one of my favorite teachers
Very awesome teacher one of my favorites really fun and he lets you write about what you want instead of forcing you to write about something you dont.. hes all around awesome I plan on taking another of his courses cause hes so awesome!
AMAZING! I loved him1 definitely one of my favorite teachers ever. Hilarious guy. his class is highly recommended. I would so take another class with him.
Great dude, so funny, im so happy i had him this year!
My favorite of all times. I wish I had him for comp I. Hilarious, easy, and last time I registered I searched for his name just to see if I can take another class with him, but unfortunately I couldn't. His class is highly recommended. You will love it guaranteed.
super nice and very helpful, highly recommended.
Literally the best teacher I have ever had. He's really easy to talk to and makes funny jokes but knows how to get serious when it's time. He hates it when people are late sooo DONT be late.
Paul's a great guy. Laid back, calm, and the class is pretty easy compared to a lot of other english classes. Write your papers, put a little effort into them, go to class and you'll get an A.
Very funny guy, Super easy A .. as long as you attend the class, you're in good shape!
Paul DeMarte is a super easy teacher and really laid back and easy-going. He's also funny and the ladies find him attractive so I hear. Anyway, he doesn't really get mad if you're late I was late almost every day by 2-7 minutes and he didn't care, maybe because I was quiet and wrote good essays for him. Easy A even for those who struggle in English
Probably my favorite English teacher; laid back and clam, plus always helpful. He has a lot of international students in his class so he's really good at explaining things to people where English is their second language. He also reads through your rough drafts and gives you direct feedback which I personally love.
He is one of my favorite teacher on campus because in class disscusions we talked about interesting topics and if you ever need help he is always helpful.
He is very good teacher, if you take his class you are going to take A
Took him because of his reviews on here and I was disappointed! He is very helpful - class is pretty easy - only a few assignments and they are spread out pretty well. He's got a sense of humor. TAKE HIM! You won't regret it
I love Paul. He is an amazing teacher and is always willing to help you. He does have an attendance policy, but is very understanding and will work with you. Though I will caution if you're not willing to help yourself or listen to his instructions about assignments (he normally tells you what needs to be done 5Xs) then he won't help you as much.
he is the best that is all i can say..
everything about this guy has already been said. I can add that he loves participation and will get to know you. If everyone is too quiet in class, he'll let someone throw chalk at the board so everyone can wake up xD He cusses a lot which is funny. Very laid back guy. Professional, and funny. I took 1020 and 2030 with him, wish i can take more.
Paul is one of the best teachers I've had. He's easy, very helpful,funny and respect your opinion. He grades your paper right in front of you and lets you see what's right or wrong. He gives out, not just the usual "this is wrong" but actual helpful and positive comments. I took 2 classes with him, about to take 3rd one. Definitely recommend.
it's Paul Demarte's world, we're just all living in it.
Teacher is really chill, makes class fun and engaging
Awesome Teacher, I am taking him again for Comp. 2. My favorite teacher at CU Denver by far!
Paul was incredible. He made me enjoy writing again. If you show up and follow his assignment outlines you will do fine. He's super chill and loves the weird. I wrote my final 10 page paper on ghosts and got 100% in the class. He's completely honest with his students and understands how we think. Would love to take another class with him.
Paul Demarte is hilarious and a great english teacher. He relates to students and gives great essay feedback. Lectures were entertaining and he grades very reasonably.
Demarte is a professor that will always be there for you. He has a good sense of humor and gives good feedback that will slowly develop you into an exceptional writer. His classes consist of optional pop quizzes, funinteresting videos (such as Rush Hour and Anthony Bourdain), and crystal-clear crash course english lessons. Overall, a must take.
I honestly don't think words can give him the credit he deserves. Paul your the MAN!!
Paul is the best. He wants students to succeed and he's just an all around good guy. Take this class with him, you will not regret it!
One of the absolute best professors I have ever had. I took him for a summer class so it was a lot more laid back. He is super funny and makes it easy to pass.
Paul is the best, he is so funny and allows everyone to do things their own way. I enjoyed going to class.
Hands down the coolest and most fun professor I have ever had. Took him for both Comp 1&2. Would recommend to any student looking to take these classes.
He is super funny and classes are always entertaining. The workload isn't bad at all, and if you show up its easy to get an A. He does give reading quizzes but they're super easy.
The best teacher I ever have so far. He is always there for you to help, gives you feedbacks and respected by everyone.
Amazing professor!
I took this Comp 1 and Comp 2 and I couldn't be any happier. Although I'm a bad writer, he gives the best feedbacks and he's also clear as to what he wants.
Paul is an amazing professor and i would highly recommend taking an English class with him. You will have to work in his class, but he will make sure you pass as he is very good at giving feedback and making sure you know what you need to do. Great class and Great Professor!
Amazing is the best word to use for him. He's definitely the most amazing professor I've had at the school. If you have the option of taking any class with him you should. When he says he checks his email every hour of the day he is not kidding. He makes himself extremely available.
Professor Demarte is one of the coolest teachers ever. He's always available, gives good feedback and is honest. Classes are fun, he creates an awesome vibe and is so damn funny. He does quiz you on readings though, but they're super easy. He also likes to go by the name Man Stallion. Take his classes whenever you have the chance to!
The best english teacher ever!
Very hands-on when grading papers. If you're taking him for comp I or comp II, I defiantly recommend. It's an easy class as long as you keep up with the readings (very few) and turn in your essays on time
Absolutely amazing. When he announces the next assignment, it's clear what is expected and as long as you do it, you'll get full credits. He makes writing papers extremely easy compared to others professors and is always available to help.
I don't think of Composition 1 as a difficult class to pass, provided you have a good attendance and do the work. This professor was really great, especially in that he provided class time to get feedback on drafts from students and himself. DeMarte is a funny and easy-going professor-- 10/10 would recommend.
DeMarte is awesome! He is pretty easy going and straightforward! He is very caring and he gives great feedback! If you want an awesome class, you must take this class with him!
I don't know what to start with. HE IS THE BEST. I seriously can't find words to describe him. If you haven't taken core composition 1 and 2 please take them with him I regretted not taking core composition 1 with him. He Is caring, respectful, straightforward. Also if your English was not your first language then it's a must for you to take him.
Perfect teacher for starting college.
He's the best prof on campus! will look at paper before it's due and ACTUALLY GIVE FEEDBACK. He'll estimate your grade of current draft. He understands students. The class is awesome. If you don't take his class you are wrong. You make it what you want and Paul is here to support you!
he is the best prof! you will have so much in his class. he is such a nice genuine helpful person. I used to not like writing because of him now I love writing, TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!
Paul is the best! Hes one of the only professors willing to look at a paper before the due date and give actual feedback. He so helpful outside of class and is very easy to get along with in class. He really understands his students and is very understanding if something comes up.
Great guy, very understanding and cares about what he teaches.
Paul is a great person, but, as a instructor, he freaking sucks. He never lectured on anything that mattered. I did not learn anything in his class. If you need writing for your major, please for the love of god pick another instructor. FR he is a cool person, but this is a waste of your tuition money. This is an honest review, I promise.
Paul Demarte is the coolest teacher I have ever had. He is super understanding and works with you. He gives feedback on your essays as well. He would sometimes put on Netflix which was cool, and talk about weird and cool topics. He does not require a lot of work, you just have to write essays, which he does not grade harshly. We also had no final.
Day-to-day lectures don't have any substance, which is probably why attendance is mandatory. However, he's great at explaining assignments in class and setting you up for success. Definitely an easy A if you put in the work to write a decent term paper (super lax grader too). Highly recommend for anyone just taking these classes as just gen. ed's!
He is the best you can get
Paul is the BEST professor out there! He gives feedback TWICE that you get to fix before he actually grades your paper. Usually he would give feed back once then by the second time he would tell everyone they had an A paper and should turn it in early. I HATE writing essays, but he made it so much more fun and easy. He is also HILARIOUS.
Prof. DeMarte is the embodiment of what an English teacher should be. Beyond set techniques and grammatical rules, he allows you to explore your topic and write it your way. He doesn't nitpick and alter it to what his ideal "rhetorical paper" is. It is entirely up to you, and as long as you are writing coherently and effectively, you will do well.
Overall, he is a very nice cool teacher. I'm amazed by his talking ability, he could talk literally like 2 hours long or even more during his lecture continuously. I'm taking a summer class with him, he gives a 15 mins break on every class day. He's very funny, always telling you a lot of interesting stories. Wish every professor would be like him.
Paul is freaking awesome! Hands down best English teacher I have ever had! He's super funny and passionate about everything he talks about and genuinely cares about all of his students. He's super quick with grading and very transparent with your standing in the class. Also super easy to get ahold of and very willing to help his students!
As long as you show up to class and try your best, youll pass. Best professor Ive had in college. Really cares about every student and takes the time to help and get to know everyone.
This is a really easy class. Attendence is mandatory. There are 4 papers all semester and he gives unlimited feedback during 2 peer review classes before the paper is due. There are text book readings but they are short, only 1-5 pages in the textbook. There are quizes on these readings but the question is always "What was the reading about?"
Paul is one of my favorite professors at this school! He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He understands that a lot of his students have a heavy class load so he tries to minimize excessive amounts of homework and tries to make class fun! 10/10 would recommend!
One of the best teacher
One of the best professors. The class was really easy and he really cares about the students and willing to help everyone. Lots of interesting talks.
Easy class for freshman.
HE IS THE BEST. He is one of the only English teachers Ive had that reads your essays & gives GOOD feedback before the actual submission. The feedback basically shows what grade you will get & he gives LOTS of positive feedback. If you fix whatever he mentions, you will get an A. He cares about his students and wants everyone to pass and benefit!
This was the only class i enjoyed this semester. He is an amazing professor and he really care about you and your work. He really does connect with his students and it makes it a welcoming environment. It is really easy to pass this class as long as you follow along with each week and don't fall behind. I highly recommend taking his class.
Paul is THE best English teacher I've ever had. If you had anyone to pick from, please pick Paul. He is so helpful with your writing, and you really feel like he cares for your success. He provides insanely good feedback and is always there to help. Highly recommend!
Paul is amazing and really respects everyone in his class. Even being online I found this class to be a very entertaining and I believe Paul was the reason for that. It was the least awkward online class I have been apart of. He gives great feedback and if you listen to his comments on your papers you will do great in his class.
Paul is AMAZING! By far one of my favorite professors at CU Denver. He responds to all emails within a 24 hour period and gives amazing feedback on papers. His lectures were actually fun.
Aside from some of his tangents possibly lasting a little too long, Paul is a really solid professor all around. He doesn't believe in giving his students busy work, which is a relief, and means what you learn sticks a lot better. The couple of papers you get aren't too bad as long as you don't procrastinate, and he gives good feedback in return.
He's such an amazing teacher! I'm definitely taking his class again.
Genuinely one of the most helpful and engaging professers I had. Would take again in a heartbeat.
Best online professor I've had so far. Not an overload of work, the final is a big paper but you work on it all semester. Any readings he gives are short and easy, and i dont like to read. Paul is a great guy and wants you to succeed.
Probably my favorite professor in my six years at CU Denver, even as a political science major. Also, if you ask nicely, Paul will play guitar, bass, or keyboard in your band as a session member.
Best professor ever ! Makes the class super engaging with his personality. Assignment wise, essays and weekly readings, but they are the easiest assignments to do. Definitely would take again.
Paul is by far the most amazing professor I've had. He is there to support you and help you as much and he possibly can with your learning. Not only an awesome teacher but a great listener. Very outspoken in a great sarcastic way. Work is very easy, and makes you excited to learn. Definitely won't find a better professor than PAUL!
By far the best professor and work is easy along with lectures
By far the best professor I have had at CU Denver, 10/10 recommend. He makes every class very interesting and fun to attend
Paul is a funny guy that understands college students. An easy grader and will gladly help you. He comments on papers to help you and is very straightforward on requirements. The best English teacher ever! Would 100% take him again, but be ready to register for his class early/quickly as it goes quick (but it's worth it).
Paul was great. He really cared about our learning and didn't want to waste our time. He gave great feedback for you to revise your work. he is not strict on how you should write a paper and you have creative freedom to write whatever you want with some limitations on certain papers.
One of my favorite professors so far upon entering college. Only three major assignments in the semester with very clear guidelines and plenty of time to complete. Fun guy to be around in general, classes were never boring, he'd always spice up the lectures with his humor. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to receive an easy A.
Paul is a great professor! I loved being in his class and he really cares about his students and their work. He gives great feedback, responds to emails quickly, is always available for help, and makes the effort to learn his students names and their stories. He doesn't give us a lot of homework so it really feel like a 3 credit class at all!
Let the myriad of 5/5 reviews speak for themselves; Paul is a phenomenal teacher that you are bound to remember forever who will have no trouble sliding into your top-5 teachers of all time tier list, he is that good. A teacher so enjoyable that he will likely find himself at a wedding of former students, and he will make a great impression.
Paul has been my favorite prof. so far. There's a book listed but you can get away w/ not reading it, mainly to help w/ final paper. He's very funny and understanding. The final paper makes up the majority of the second half of the semester so be prepared for that. If you ask questions and participate you'll do great! Attendance matters!
Paul is an absolutely amazing professor. He's the most engaging lecturer I've ever had. The assignments are very clear, and are super easy if you put in a bit of effort. Grades assignments SO FAST (Often within few hours of submission) and is super accessible outside of class. Highly recommend, 10/10.
Best professor out there! I definitely recommend taking this class with him. He is straightforward and organized. I was easy to stay on top of work. He wasn't too harsh with grading, and he gave good feedback for every essay. Besides being respectful, kind, and caring, he is funny. Don't miss out on him.
Such a GREAT guy, he is so respectful and funny. He makes sure that you know, that if you make mistakes it's okay. He is such a nice grader gives great feedback, and makes sure to explain the assignment very well. He makes the students laugh and wants them to succeed and write about stuff they care about. Would take him again.
Such a great teacher! Although there are a good amount of essays due throughout the semester, the topics are very broad, which allows you to write about things you're actually interested in. The class discussions were always super fun and I highly recommend Paul!
amazing, he is the best teacher ever. will buy you tacos if he sees you out clubbin
Professor Demarte is great - engaging lectures, helpful feedback, and a manageable workload. Unstuck study was a game-changer for prepping for the final paper. Definitely take this class if you can.
I liked this class's format a lot. Lectures are engaging, and teacher is transparent. All the rules he sets are well defined and hard to miss. Clear expectations, good support, and good vibes. All around a solid teacher. Just does everything well, and is a very quick grader too! Would recommend.
AMAZINGGG PROFESSOR! Very nice and very funny. The workload is extremely manageable, he only really assigns essays, and he's not a picky grader. Just pay attention and do the work and it's an easy A!
Paul is AWESOME! He's a great teacher who really engages the class. He would always start the week off by asking everyone what they did over the weekend. Assignments were fairly easy and he encourages you to write about topics that you're interested in. Convinced that Paul is the best English professor at CU Denver.
Professor often went off course and had completely unrelated tangents. On top of that, Professor DeMarte was rude to students, shaming students in front of the class with no prior one on one discussion with students. If you want an easy A, I mean sure his class isn't that hard, but you will dread going to class every day and won't learn much.
Not gonna lie, Paul is an excellent teacher when it comes to assignments and workload, take this class if you want an easy A. However, the lectures are incredibly boring and every class I wanted to leave early. I think he gets sidetracked a lot and drags on conversations. I just want to leave this class. Please.
He was amazing and had very clear instructions for what he expected you to submit. very helpful and nice all semester!
Easy A, however will not let you redo quizzes taken on the first week even if you weren't enrolled in his class at the time. I didn't need the book, he gives clear feedback, and helps you get an A. Mainly discussion posts and one final paper on a topic of your choosing. Attendance is mandatory but you get 3 excused absences. Would take again
I had personal issues during the semester but he still made sure I ended the class with a B despite my absences. I loved writing for this class, felt encouraged to express myself and he's a kind person who really encouraged conversations for our writing.
Paul is one of my favorite professors. He cares a lot about writing but also about his students. He will 100% work with you and whatever is going on in your life. I found his lectures very fun and engaging.
