Paul is very understanding and cares that you are not just a student, but also a person and was flexible with deadlines and rescheduling! Great lectures and exams.

He was great and very understanding with our issues and problems that students were dealing with during this pandemic. He communicated out of class via email and tried his best to actually teach us things that mattered and we would need for the future.

Good professor, incredibly friendly guy. Tests are straightforward and he posts lecture notes online. Really helps if you attend class, but it's not mandatory. Need to do a short problem set every week. There usually aren't additional readings. He's always available if you need to get help.

Easy class, but very applicable if you are an Ag Bus/AAE/DySci/AnSci major. He posts old exams and they are almost exactly the same every year. Class is not mandatory but it helps with your assignments if you go. Take this class if you can.

Awesome prof! Made class entertaining. Tests were just like examples in class. Class not mandatory, but it helps. Not textbook. A few assignments.
