Pauli is a great professor for the ecology unit of Bio 152. He makes the lecture content very easy to follow and understand. Participations during lectures are required and for accuracy. The labs for this class are not as hard, but instead you will have to do a semester long research project that will be presented at a symposium so be ready!Rate My Professors ↗

Was nervous about this class because of what I'd heard, but I was so pleasantly surprised! Honestly, Pauli was one of my favorite professors I've had at UW :) He's clear about what he wants from students and pushed all of us to do our best at all times. He was incredibly accessible for help and put genuine effort into getting to know students!Rate My Professors ↗
He's a decent lecturer. He talks a lot about examples in lectures. He tries to be hip and cool but sometimes it feels like he's doing too much. I'm in his lecture right now and he's wearing flip flops... I'll leave it thereRate My Professors ↗
Ecology is boring even though he tried very hard to make it cool and appealing. He also curses a lot for some reason.Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. Pauli is a very nice professor, and he makes lectures engaging. The textbook for the ecology module is long with lots of vocab, but reading it does help a lot. The homework assignments for the ecology module are longer than the other modules (evolution and plants), and the exam is the hardest of the 3 exams in my opinion.Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. Pauli is a good lecturer. He does tend to get very off topic and lectures are usually miles behind lab and discussion homeworks. I'm currently typing this in his lecture because he's been on the same slide for like 15 minutes. Personally never went to office hours, but he seems willing to help. He is also in flip flops with cargo pants rn.Rate My Professors ↗
