Reviews of professor Paul Potorti

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If possible I would recommend avoiding this professor at all costs. In this class I can say I barely learned anything about communication and more on how pleasing my grammar to fix his own personal standards. He is very tough with grading and not understanding at all if something is to come up unexpectedly in your personal life.

Paul depended heavily on the textbook which was dry (although free). He offered little resources outside the text, but was diligent in responding to emails. Paul obviously reads every paper and is very generous in his feedback. I learned most from writing the papers in his class, which he gave ample time to complete.

Easy online class if you can write well. Mostly all forum posts. Stick to the prompts, write a good amount for each, and connect your experiences to the terms from the online book. Quizzes and tests were all untimed and no big deal. Instructor provided thorough email updates and responds quick. I'd avoid taking this over a full 16wk semester though

What can I say about Paul. For starters he is very enthusiastic but he makes slight comments that are disrespectful and inappropriate. I raised my hand to answer a question and he brushed me off like I was a nobody so now I don't participate unless it's for a grade. He's kinda rude and I no longer enjoy his class.

Paul has made serious offense comments in class, and can be quite rude. This however is an easy class if you show up and do the assignments. I wouldn't recommend this class if you don't like forum posts, but the quizzes/tests are quite easy considering you can retake them.

Mr. Potorti is very enthusiastic. It is very important to go to class. I learned a lot about public speaking. He is also very understanding of nervousness. He gave great feedback on speeches. He is humorous, but some of his comments are unprofessional. The assignments are not always extremely clear.

The low ratings on here were clearly written in anger, because these children didn't pay attention and blame Paul for their lack of effort. Paul isn't just enthusiastic. He is supportive and hilarious! The list goes on and on and many of these unappreciative students didn't deserve to have Paul as their instructor. Those that "KNOW", we love Paul.

Paul was very disrespectful and inappropriate when replying to emails or grading comments, If you could get a different professor for your class I would completely recommended switching. This class requires assignments to be done through McGraw Hill which will cost you $100 for a very dry and unnecessary informational text book.

He gives multiple paper assignments throughout the semester. His instructions are never clear and he grades harshly.
