Reviews of professor Paul Holmquist

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Paul is super passionate about his subject and it shows through his lectures. His lecture style can be hard to follow at first but can be enjoyable after a while. Notes are important because all texts and quizzes are open notes, he also records all of his lectures and makes them available. If you have any problems, he will totally work with you.

Do NOT take this professor. The class material itself isn't hard to really understand but the professor makes the class 10x harder for no reason with his exams. He rants about his opinion on certain topics and kinda glosses over the important stuff that is on the test. Then he'll give you a 40-minut test w short answer 350 minimum and multi-choice.

This class is so difficult and the tests are genuinely impossible to complete. The tests are made up of only short answers and an essay and there is a minimum requirement you have to meet. If you have any choice to not take this professor I strongly advise you not to.

For a class that is supposed to be an elective/side class I spend the most time doing his notes/studying during the week. He is inconsiderate, condescending, judgmental, & has the biggest God complex known to man. He allows us to use notes for the tests but no matter how much info you have on each thing it is never enough! He should not be our prof

Although his lectures may seem long and boring to some, he definitely knows his stuff and will not hesitate to help you understand. He's very passionate about his work and study.

yes his class is not the easiest and he sucks but what arch hist professor doesn't? just go to the lectures because you literally HAVE to have physical notes if u want to pass. He is impossible to talk to if you have issues, but does surprisingly offer a lot of extra credit. It's def a class that u have to put effort into if u want a passing grade
