Reviews of professor Paul Geis

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
took this class when I was inbetween deciding majors and he is one of the best professors I have had in my current 3 years of college. he really cares about his job and has a lot of passion. there is required reading for every class but you can get away with just skimming, if you participate in discussion you're good to go.

I had his class in person and with a smaller group. His class is very book and reading heavy which is okay but you do have random reading checks so you have no idea if you should waste your time reading or not. He talks a lot in class but you will have no idea what he is actually talking about. He made me hate education so I switched my major.

Mr. Geis was a very caring professor, in my opinion. At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about him but he ended up being very influential and relatable. The material in his class wasn't easy, but there's so many in-class discussions that it helps you understand the academic journals better. Knows what he's talking about.

Very hard grader. You need to participate because that is a main part of your final grade. Engage in the class and say your opinion. Lots of reading each night, and you need to read for the reading checks.

I took Geis for Education in a Democratic society and it was terrible. He doesn't fully explain what you are supposed to learn in class. He doesn't use blackboard. and all you do in class is read a bunch of articles and chapters and discuss them in class. you also have 3 papers to do that he doesn't give clear instructions on.

I had Mr. Geis for Education in a Democratic Society Honors. Yes there is A LOT of reading with random checks, but if you do the reading and take accurate notes you will do fine. Mr. Geis made me think of things I would never have thought about. If you participate in class, he will appreciate it and show it.
