Even though I hated the idea of taking this course, Paul made me change my opinion on University English. He is engaging, hilarious, and inspired me to become a better writer. Although he is a tough marker, if you follow his criteria (he tells you exactly what he wants for each assignment) then you will be fine! Definitely recommend him!!

Paul makes the class fun and is very interactive and enthusiastic. Don't buy the textbook, it's not necessary. He's very clear and descriptive of his expectations for assignments and tests. He talks a lot, but it's bearable because he's hilarious. Make sure you use his constructive criticism because it'll help you get a better grade!

Paul is a pretty chill instructor. He provides a clear grading criteria so you would know what he expects from you plus there is no final exam. At times he can also be quite humorous and entertaining in class as well. Overall I'd say Paul is definitely one of the best English instructors in KPU.

His classes are feel pretty great to be in. Chill guy who likes to joke, and his lectures aren't dry. He gives a lot of examples of what he looks for in writing, ranging from professional pieces, down to essays and stuff his previous students have allowed him to share. As for marking, he's pretty lax about it too. Would take him again.

The course consists of 4 assignments and one of the assignments is a in class essay. He gives clear instructions during in class lectures on what he expects from you regarding essays. His lectures include personal anecdotes and current events that makes lectures appealing.

Paul is hilarious. The class is pretty easy, there is 2 take home essays, 1 in class essay and a summary. He gives you multiple topics to choose from to write, which makes it easier to do the assignment. He also breaks down every paper to how you should write it - and do it this way to get an A. He is a harder marker, but fair.

I had a BLAST in his class. Paul makes the lectures super engaging and interesting. He's hilarious, and sometimes goes off topic, but somehow that's the best part of the class. For assignments and exams, he provides many examples, and helps with topics and structure of your essay so you're aware of his expectations. Would 100% take his class again!

He is a great teacher, says some pretty funny things. He gives good insight and feedback you your writing. He givesample time and many topics to choose from for the essays. Gives extremely clear directions, follow them and double check you followed them before you submit. He doesn't usually expect perfection for formatting like APA

Loved this guy. His english courses were very essay heavy (and I've never been good at essays,) but his grading criteria and expectations are so clear and straightforward that its very easy to get good grades. He posts weekly on moodle, so missing a class wont hurt your grades, but I don't recommend doing it often. Take him if you can! He's amazing

Great Prof!! His class consisted of three essay's, weekly forums along with one final exam. He allows the opportunity to redo essay's and provides clear criteria on what is expected. He is a fairy easy marker. If you are someone like me, and struggle in English, he is your best shot to do well in this course. Take him and you will not regret it.

He is good but he still has some stereotypes about certain communities. His lectures are very boring sometimes and you will see grading will be very biased i have some friends who wrote a very good forum but he won't give marks to them because they are not his favourites.

Straightforward and pretty easygoing prof. There's no required textbook and he'll upload whatever course material you need throughout the semester. His syllabus is mostly made up of essays but they're a breeze if you pay attention to his feedback. He also lets you redo the worst one to bump up your grade at the end of the semester.

He is an easy grader, you don't need to put in much effort but he repeats a lot. He will say the same thing for about 3 weeks. You won't learn anything new in his class. I got good grades in his class but if someone would ask me what I learnt from his class I would say nothing. if you don't want to work and and get good grades take him.

This was a great English class. The professor is straight forward in his grading and makes it really clear how to do well in the class. There is three essays and then a final exam as well as short responses on Moodle. As long as you're present in his class and pay attention you shouldn't have a problem doing well.

Paul is amazing and I wish I could take his class again. If you are someone that is respectful and shows an appreciation/intrigue for his class - you will do just fine. He truly cares about his students and often gives out bonus marks for online forums and even during class time. He is knowledgeable, kind, funny, thoughtful and easy going!
