Reviews of professor Paul Whissell

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Only  grading based on two term tests and one final. Hard to have opportunities to improve the mark. Test is hard, all multiple choices are snaky

Im currently taking psychology with Dr. Paul Whissell, and honestly hes amazing! Ive never taken a psychology course, Im in my first year and so far Im loving it! Its one of my highest grades in the semester. He also genuinely cares about his students. Great lectures and examples too!

I made an account here just to leave a review on how amazing Dr. Whissel is! I had a very difficult semester and he was continuously accommodating which was very appreciated. Not many profs go out of their way to show they care about student success but he sure does. The tests are slightly difficult based a lot on course content, manageable class!

Here's the thing: if you write notes, read the chapters, and study hard you'll be fine. As for the teacher, he is personally the worst one I had all year. Really full of himself and tricky with his tests (which, by the way, there aren't many). I'll never understand how teachers think jumping from multiple topics to another is helpful.

A fantastic prof. Went into the course hearing it was hard and was pleasantly surprised. Whissell genuinely tries to accommodate to everybody's needs and you can clearly tell that he is very passionate about what he is teaching. The course content is super interesting and Whissell does a great job of organizing and teaching it in an engaging way.

Dr. Whissell is pretty good. Every lecture is pre-recorded and we'd only go over questions and learning objectives during the live meeting. The readings are optional but just watching the lectures is enough. He's open to remarks if he made a mistake and is overall a great professor.

Dr. Whissel was extremely helpful with everything we did. He was happy to answer all of our questions and nudge us in the right direction with our assignments. Highly recommend you choose him as your prof if he's available.

He makes the 3 hour lectures so much better. He's interesting, helpful, and actually seems to care about his students doing well in his class. The overall grade is made up of 3 super short online quizzes, an assignment, and 2 exams. It's really not too bad and I would definitely take one of his courses again

This prof was unorganized. The lecture slides were unnecessarily long and the breaks were so short. Very monotone, so it was hard to stay awake. The assignment had jargon which I have never learned or even heard of. I asked a question once and never did again, I didn't feel welcomed to ask questions. Exams are reasonable but still tricky.
