Reviews of professor Paul Merritt

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Paul was the worst professor I have ever came into contact with. He gave us tests that were impossible to pass, and the online quizzes had no correlation to class lecture. He had not graded assignments we turned in the first week of class until the day before grades were due. He did not have a clear syllabus. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.

Dr. Merritt is very clearly just here to do research with graduate students. His lectures are unclear and use heavily outdated slides with inappropriate terminology. Merritt is disrespectful and overly-casual with sensitive topics, such as gender identity and mental health. His slides are unclear and he does not explain topics in class.

Dr. Merritt is the worst professor I've had at CSU. His class behaviors was careless, unprofessional, and he presented incorrect information in lecture multiple times without correction. Outside of class he rarely if ever responded to emails. He was disrespectful in answering questions inside and outside of class.

There was no clear syllabus for this class and the only grades in the grade book were the exams. The class seemed very poorly put together (little organization). Although the power points were put on canvas the content that were in them did not line up with the content of the tests. This class felt impossible to pass.

He was a new professor to CSU, so I tried giving him the benefit of the doubt. He was disorganized, there was no syllabus available to us. Lectures from PowerPoints that are all on Canvas, but there is a lot of material for each exam  20 pages of notes. Also, he covers material very quickly and exams can be tough and sometimes confusing.
