Reviews of professor Aaron Pauls

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Aaron is a nice guy, however he is not doing a good job when it comes to his lab section. He has missed a majority of his classes, and is not clear with his expectations. We had a sub every second class, and then he expects us to write a research paper with no guidelines. His marking is very unclear also.

When I first saw all these reviews I was really scared about this course, but honestly Aaron is a really nice guy and will make sure to help if you're stuck on something. He's probably one of my favorite lab profs. Approach this class with a focused mindset as he is very particular about details (especially graphs)!!

Very vague instructions on assignments then docks you huge marks for tiny things. Try to avoid him.

One of the WORST profs. Doesn't have proper criteria to mark any lab. One person would get 5/5 for a graph and others would get 2.5/5 for literally the same graph. Vague instructions. Vague feedbacks. Not working towards getting you through the semester, more like trying to take off marks wherever he can. Do not recommend!

I think he might be a new prof. The course material was very unorganized and poorly taught, classes were often suddenly cancelled, and the lectures were scarce for the amount of content in the course. Would not take him.

Rarely in class, unfair exam

Doesn't put in a lot of effort in lectures, if you have questions, he will answer them, but he doesn't explain everything in detail unless you ask. Most of his grading is a bit unclear, but midterms were very easy and exactly what was on the slides.

I read these early reviews and was excited for his class and it is horrible. he does not post lectures beforehand like you guys said and he takes forever to post them. in class he goes so fast through the slides and his lectures are boring

He can be a bit picky with papers, but if you talk to him about it and ask others who have had him previously, they are a breeze. His midterm was also very fair and although the final was made difficult due to the unexpected shift online, he was able to accommodate our concerns in a fair way. I would absolutely take a class with him again.

Aaron is - above all else - a good guy. He did his undergraduate at UFV and so understands the efforts, stress, and situations the students he teaches are going through (I imagine at least). He still has material to teach of course  - and does so well - but ensures it is relevant to the students interests and builds their skills for what's ahead.
