This guy is crazy but he is awesome!! Take him for your science requirements. His jokes are funny and he tells a lot of stories, some educational, some sickening. HE'S COOL!
I am at Loyola University now and I can't believe how much Paul taught me.I still use the study habits and notes that he gave me. All those little sayings have paid off for me. Sometimes I feel like calling him when I have a problem. U will remember him
VERY HELPFUL TEACHER. ACTUALLY LEAVES YOUR CRANIUM FULL OF KNOWLEDGE, AT THE END OF EACH CLASS PERIOD. WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD GRADE IF YOU DESERVE IT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS YOUR PART...WHICH IS STUDY, STUDY, STUDY. NICEST TEACHER AT WRIGHT COLLEGE!!!!
I never thought I would ever take biology notes while my teacher serenades me the "Spongebob Squarepants" theme song. "Big-G" Paul is a great teacher and his passion for teaching shows and makes kids WANT to learn and do good in school

makes the class fun and easy to understand. bring your colored pencils.
Paul is the man. I think he is so sexy too! I can't wait to get out of class to ask this stud out for some drinks. I'll see you later big boy! "Holla at me playa!"
A lot of studying,but also alot of fun
hes funny and a good teacher
Paul is the coolest teacher ever! His classes are a lot of fun.I would recommend every student to take his class. He really cares about his students. Good work Paul and keep it up.
great!
The one teacher that I will never forget!
best teacher ever. having a science class with a normal teacher would be torture. paul makes science actually fun and his methods of teaching are hysterical and they work. great teacher, he deserves a raise for his hard work
great teacher --if you can take him, DO IT! you'll not only learn but you'll laugh your a$$ off!!!!! **** paul (PIRATES FAN)
There is a lot of info to learn, but Paul evenly distributes it, and makes class fun. I am smarter after taking his class, and I have become a better seductive dancer after watching Paul show us his moves in class. Thanks, Paul!
Paul is the most understanding teacher I have come across in my life, he is a great friend as well as teacher. He cares a lot about you while you attend his class, and when you're not, to see how you are doing. The only thing about him is that you HAVE to put in equal effort. THANKS PAUL
Great teaching ablility, puts together great packets for ease of learning
Paul is a great teacher. He is a lot of fun and he goes over the lessons over and over again, tying it all together. the only thing is he covers A LOT of material, so it's hard to get it all down. bring crayons.
My favorite teacher while at wright. Not an easy class and he will make you work for your grade but not a mean teacher at all. He makes class a joy to be in. I wish all my professors could be this great! Theres a reason he wins teacher of the year award almost every year!
One of the best professors I have ever had.
One of the all time greats. Awesome teacher, is always helpful and only he can make a 3 hour biology class seem fun. He is very goofy too.

There are some teachers with boring everyday assignments, but everyday there was always something different with Paul. He had more dance moves, new songs to sing in class. It was Club Bilology!! He made the class very very interesting. I would take him again ..
Paul makes the material fun and easy to learn with his great mnemonics...
"Uncle Paul" (as he calls himself) is so nice, genuine, and caring. I took this class online, but we met two Saturdays for 7 hour lab sessions--he's so funny that the time seemed to fly by. Study for the tests and do your work on time and you'll do fine. He's not out to fail you, and will bend over backwards to help you succeed.
Janus has both + & -. Too much of a work load, condescending @ times, sexually inappropriate with male students..if he could get thru those bad traits he would be a phenominal teacher. He needs therapy. Has good, raw teaching skills..let's get his issues cleaned up. Was very close to reporting him.
One of the greatest teachers i have ever had, u will work for ur grade, but he has & will take the time to explain. If u think it will be a breeze, u'll be surprised, so only if u need one of his classes then take him, but remember that he is the GREATEST CUBS' FAN ALIVE!
HE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER.HE IS FUNNY,CUTE, SARCASITIC,and all around lovable.he makes class so much fun. he likes to color coordiante his notes and we had to too,it might seem like alot of work but he gives you the answers and does it with you for hmwk and take home tests and quizzes.if you get anyhting but an A in class you are just stupid.
Anyone that talks bad about Paul is an a$$. Janus is one of the best professors in the Chicago area. I'm glad I took him and also glad to consider him my friend.
Totally awesome teacher... he sure knows how to keep his students interested and paying attention. To his odd singing and his cracking jokes he is a fabulous teacher.
I LOVE YOU PAUL. YOU ROCK.
He's a good teacher but his class involves a LOT of work and studying. Not a good class to take if you are a full-time student and a full-time worker. Time consuming. He did make class enjoyable to be in. His dance moves are the Best.
he was great and i wish i could another one of his classes.
He's raunchy and really makes the information stick! Highly recommended if you have any sort of sense of humor at all. If you don't, don't waste his time or yours. He's far too cool to deal with lame-os.
hes the best teacher ever!
God I love this man. Easily the best teacher I've ever had... at Wright or anywhere else. He honestly cares about his students. He wants us to learn this stuff, wants us to succeed here and beyond- and thats something you don't kind often.
I LOVE PAUL. PAUL IS HOT. THAT IS WHAT HE WRITES IN MY NOTEBOOK. HE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST TEACHERS I AHVE HAD. I HAVE NEVER DONE SO WELL IN A BIOLOGY CLASS. THE INFORMATION STICKS AND THAT HELPS ME STUDY. HE IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE RATHER IT IS TO TALK, STUDY,SING, DANCE OR DRINK. HE'S THE BEST!

paul is the funnies guy known on this planet :) he makes everything stik and look easy. being in his class is fun. he dances, sings, and do a lot of silly things during the class. although, dont take his class if you dont like coloring :)
cool as hell
Fun, fun, fun! His classes are never boring. He's one of the people that were born to teach! The class is hard, a lot of material to cover. The teacher - just right! He makes the time to go faster!
Janus is the ideal Community College professor. He knows his material backward and forward. He is a clown and makes classes fun for kids who might not want to be there. He designs his courses to make material sink in despite student laziness. If you need a BIO requirement, DO take one of his courses - can't miss part of the Wright experience!
Awsome professor!! Makes the class interesting and makes it easy to learn. There is a lot of work but it is all worth it.

class is ok... if i had o pick a prof. i would have to pick him as long as you don't mind the constant sex jokes.
Paul is awesome!! The best Prof. I've had at wright. I was afraid of taking science classes, b/c I hated science, but I got an A in his class. The class is hard and be prepared to study. But if you study the exam review sheet you should be fine. He gives extra credit too. Don't buy the book, you don't need it. He gives you like 300 pages of notes.
I took him for human bio. He is so funny and keeps you interested. You take turns baking a snack for break time. His tests are really hard tho. You have to study a lot. But hes funny n really smart, he's also helpful. I got a C in his class but i did bad on a lot of tests, I got an A on hw + labs and an A on the term paper tho. Id take him again.
Paul Rox!!!He is one of the most intelligent, funniest, and genuine teachers at Wright College. Take his class, you won't regret it.
one of the best professors i've had.He's fun and you learned everything you need, others should learn from him
Real cool guy and a pretty easy class.
Paul is the best teacher ever. His class is lots of fun. There is a lot of studying, but it gets to your head without a problem. Highly recommended teacher. NUMBER 1
PAUL IS THE BEST...i highly reccomend taking his class cause he pounds the info into your head and guides you through everything step by step... plus hes funny as hell!
Took the class over the summer where he packs a full semester worth of material into 8 weeks. Great teacher, funny, keeps the class moving and dynamic. Gives a lot of examples during lecture that help make things clear.
the best teacehr ever!! his class was the greatest!! knows what hes talking about and hes very very helpful!! no need t waste money on the book because he doesnt use it.
i have to agree with all these other comments. long class and a lot of material to cover, but a wonderful teacher, he basically gives you the answers to the tests! highly recommend him for anatomy! he has people bring in snacks for breaks so you never go hungry!
This teacher has a passion for this class. He is an absolutely wonderful teacher who really raises the bar for others, if all teachers were like him the world would be a better more educated place.
paul is a mean teacher!!! yes, he gives u the whole lesson plan, answers and all, but god forbid you try to ask him for some help!! hell tell you the answer to your question, yet he wont explain!! i would not recommend taking his class if your sensative!!!
He is a good teacher, but he is Horible at calculating grades! Don't believe the "10 pts xtra credit for break snack" lie cause he doesn't give extra credit in the end. He is very easy but KEEP TRACK OF YOUR GRADE! most of my classmates received a letter grade lower than they deserved!
"You'll never make it at a REAL college", "you'll have a part-time job forever" is what he said to students. He checks even for ungraded work; if its not done, he will ATTACK you. First day a girl went to the dean. HE IS HORRIBLE. Expects 6 study hours per class. Easy to hate. Mandatory coloring of notes makes lectures hard to follow. Overwhelming.
he scared/intimidated the crap out of me. I did not like him AT ALL. and I think he likes to put students in the spot..by making them answer questions in the spur of the moment. scary. thats all i gotta say.
Good teacher, follow his notes and test / quizzes will come easy. Leave your feelings at home because he will challenge them. I took the 50 / 50 class and the on-line portion looks allot but it's really EASY!
ONE OF THE BEST PROF. LOOK MEAN BUT REALLY CARE FOR HIS STUDENTS. ALL YOU NEED TO DO TO GET AN "A" ARE STUDY FROM HIS NOTE AND SHOW HIM THAT YOU REALLY WANT TO GET AN "A". GREAT PROF.
He is an amazing guy! He is soo funny and will pick on like 2 students the whole semester. He uses our every actions to make us understand and remember the material. Also, no book is needed. He prints out his notes and basically gives you the notes+quizzes+exams+take home exam and study sheet for final with answers written in it. TAKE HIM!
This prof. is one of the best prof. I've ever had. He is so funny and informative. He will keep you engaged in the class from start to finish.
Very Enthusiastic! Can be a bit hard at times... regular class attendence is recommended if u wish to pass. His exams are tricky *KNOW YOUR STUFF*
this guy is a hoot great teacher kinda hard thou but all you gotta do is study from the study book that he provides.
Alot of notes and sometimes it is hard. But u just have to study the stack of notes that he gives you at the start of the semester. The tests and quizes are really easy because it is all on the study guide. the Q's are in order :)
This professor is so much fun! He had me entertained the whole semester! I hate biology but he made it very interesting! You stay awake in class because you color the notes non-stop! He picks on students but if youre sensitive, dont take it because he'll probably make you cry. If I had to take another biology class, I'd definitely have him again
Paul was extremely unfair in grading me. I never missed a class, worked my butt off, wasn't a stellar student, but another girl who seldom showed up for class and never did anything got a C like I did! In the end, I realized he did not like me because I went there to learn, not to laugh at this lame jokes and bring him pastel tootsie rolls.Unfair.
I had Dr. Janus srping of 2007 and he was the most memorable teacher I have ever had in my enitre life. His lectures are stapled in my brain. As an English major, he made Human Biology one of my favorite subjects. His humor is not for the faint of heart,but his tough love pays off.Best professor ever!
U have to put in the work but thats a given. He will give all materials up front. No book just lab maunual and his notes. U need color pencils. U need to listen. Not hard, lots of jokes to keep u awake. Dont miss class, youll miss labs and quizzes and tests. Pretty Straight forward no?
FANTASTIC!!! This Professor is HILARIOUS!!! I hope he starts to teach other biology courses. I have a lot of school to left and I will be checking to see if he is at my university. lol. Listen, study notes, do labs and homework. Quizzes are easy and exams can be tricky. Just know your stuff. GREAT PROF! Unforgettable
Amazing he gives you all the class notes, homework, and exam/quiz review sheets on the first day of class just read them and show up to class and you're sure to get an A
Best Professor I ever had. It was a pleasure being in his class... His tests arent that hard if you show up to class regularly and he makes the material fun... Awesome!!
Amazing Class,Great professor,but alot to study, I had a lot of fun in this class, we were drowing a lot with color pensils, he gave us all test's and quiz's guestions on day 1. Owesome experience !!! Studied very hard and got B
Paul is great. Get used to it, he'll tell you as much. His sense of humor made an otherwise unbearable topic one of the classes I most looked forward to. He's super clear about what you need to know and what you need to study, and is just as unforgiving if you haven't bothered to study. If you're willing to do the coursework, this is a prof for you
Paul is one of the best teachers at wright. I had a wonderful semester. I was scared at first going into his class because he gives you a big packet the first day of school, but if you attend everyday you will see that it is helpful because he explains the material over and over. he prepares his students for the quizes and test. he is very funny
I loved Paul! He made my summer class great- except the workload was over the top with quizzes/exams every week. Wish I could have taken him during a regular semester. He's hilarious, organized, generous, and blunt. But he's not very confrontational and gets irritated easily + lacks basic grammar skills! Everyone should experience his class though
Paul keeps everyone on their toes. The large packet he gives is the Bible of the class, so study hard!
Best teacher I've ever had in my life. I HATED anything that had to do with science, but Paul taught in such a way that I understood everything and now I love it! He uses colored pencils (good technique) and he's outrageously funny! lol. He prepares you for test and quizzes and repeats stuff a lot so that you understand. TAKE HIS CLASS :)
He was awesome! It was a summer course so super face paced. He uses his print out text book, no need to spend 100+. study before tests and do the homework you'll get an A. Super friendly and really funny. I wish his 114 class fit in my class schedule. Gives a lot of test extra credit. Goes over everything in 3 medias. Awesome! :-)
Biology has became one of my favorite subjects thanks to Paul!I enjoyed Paul's artistic technique of using colored pencils.
The best teacher I ever had! I learned so many things in this class! He is a professional and a great teacher! If I could I would take his again!
Summer course was condensed from 16 to 8 weeks. Intense and fun. Paul Janus made us all sweat and laugh at the same time. I TOTALLY recommend this course if you are willing to earn an 'A' no matter what.
Freaking amazing guy!!! Definately recommend!! He is hilarious!! You cannot fail this class unless u just dont ever show up.. and u dont need 2 pay 4 expensive (student-robbing) books!! (except lab manual)
Paul is a GREAT Teacher! He made the semester go by smooth. Lets you know ahead of time what to expect from the first day of class. Attendance is mandatory, study for quizzes, exams and you should be fine. A must take class.
He's great funny as hell. Do all the work, study for quizzes and test and you should get an A
AWESOME TEACHER!!! He makes you want to learn the stuff. You do not need to purchase a textbook, he gives you all the notes in class but be prepared to use your color pencils.
He is the best teacher that I've had at Wright. Hes brilliant, his teaching methods are awesome. I'm going to miss having this class, and to think I didn't want to take this class. He keeps you interested. The class can be a challenge but its college & he helps you to the fullest. Coloring the notes really works, homework is easy, so are the labs.
This is the best teacher i have ever had! He honestly is so nice and prepares you for every quiz & test. He basically gives you the answers in the study guides. You do not need to take notes all the notes are given to you, & it includes everything all you have to do is color them.As for the book there is none. Just do all your labs & hw THATS IT!
BEST class, even though it was a bio class but the class would not stop laughing, at the same time makes bio very clear and easy. and the test and quizzes are super clear. TAKE HIM
Paul was the best Professor I ever had !!! I wish he was teaching microbiology. Paul gives you all the tools you need to succeed .It is up to you to study. He also promoted class camaraderie.He is an unique man with a special talent for making the mundane interesting
He is the best professor I have had . He gives you everything you need to pass this class but it is up to you to take advantage. He can be weird or strange but overall you can't have a better professor than Paul.
Great teacher! funny and very helpful. Truly cares about his students.
Honestly this class is terrible. All the pictures he gave us you can barely see. He picks on random people for no reason. He has an attitude problem. Gives lots of work. He's pretty annoying at times as well. Don't take this class.
Best teacher I ever had. I wish Paul was my teacher for every class I've ever taken in school. Funny, loud, audacious, and funny are all good ways to describe him. His class is not hard if you do your homework and learn the study guide. Overall, I wish he taught more than just Bio. Highly recommended.
Paul was an awesome teacher. He is very funny and for a 7:30am class what was I thinking but coffee is not even needed in this class as he wakes you up and makes sure you are paying attention with his jokes, but it is all in the name of learning the material, I am down with that. Study what you have, note taking is not needed he provides them. :)
Professor Janus is a great professor, not taking his course would be a big mistake in your college education. BIo 115 inspired me to major in Biology, also to make healthy decisions when it comes to the human body.His summer course is great! Thanks Paul!
He is the best teacher I ever had. I learn so much from his class and I still remember a lot from his lectures 2 years later.. I learn more in his class than in Anatomy1 and 2. He makes the class funny, enjoyable and the things you learn are stacked in your head for a very long time.
Very clear and easy to follow. Great content and he doesn't overdue it.
