Paul is one of the most influential people I have ever met. It's because of him I am fluent in Swedish. He met up with me outside of class on his own time to talk with me and make me more comfortable with the language. He is one of the sharpest people you'll ever meet. Fluent in 14 languages, super compassionate, hilarious and full of life! :)Rate My Professors ↗
Paul is a great instructor for swedish. Yes there is class and homework everyday, but the work was never too much to handle. He is hilarious and makes learning a new language super enjoyable. If you are looking to take a language class, take swedish with him!Rate My Professors ↗
Wow. That's all I have to say.Rate My Professors ↗
Phenomenal teacher. Entertaining, knowledgable, and authentic. Homework is assigned consistently, but it never felt like busy-work. His love of the language is infectious. Would absolutely recommend.Rate My Professors ↗
Never knew a lick of Swedish before this class... now I love it! Paul is a great teacher and made this the only class that I was excited about attending.Rate My Professors ↗
Paul is absolutely hilarious and he alone makes taking the class worthwhile. It is a very fun class. Paul randomly talking in different accents and his great sense of humor made my semester.Rate My Professors ↗
