Reviews of professor Paul Mensink

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Mensink was amazing! I had to take this course to get my category C and he made it so enjoyable. His course was the most organized online course I have ever had. If you go to his lectures, participate and stay on top of your work, your mark will reflect it. If anyone needs a science credit and is in social sci, this class is amazing!

Textbook was not used because he wrote his own every week, up to date with relevant current event topics related to environmental science & sustainability. Overall chill dude, very enthusiastic lectures that make it fun to attend. Comprehensive exam reviews (e.g. live exam jeopardy game, going through past questions). Easy exams if you study!

Mensink made evening lectures worth it. He's caring and designs his class in a way which leads to success. If you read the material of 2 hours each week, you'll get an 80+ in his class. Lectures are used to discuss current events and how the material applies to them, and readings aren't filled with fluff, they are actually applicable and testable

The best professor I have ever had. Cares so much about students and goes as far as to make his own 3D tours of places relevant to the course. No textbook and the readings he provides are consistently updated, he asks every week what wasn't clear and adjusts accordingly. Not a bird course like some say, but genuinely one of the most interesting.

A very kind & caring prof. His passion for the subject translated into his lectures, which made it more meaningful and engaging for us. Exams are straightforward and fair as long as you have a general understanding of the lecture content. Would highly recommend Dr. Mensink!

EnviroSci 1021 with Prof. Mensink was my absolute favourite class in first year!! You can tell he's so passionate about environmental science and his enthusiasm makes you enthusiastic about it too. You would think clicking through a virtual tour of a literal garbage factory would be boring but somehow he made it interesting and informative.

He is extremely lenient on marks and truly wants all of his students to do well. He gives so many opportunities to get better marks and genuinely takes feedback into consideration.

Hands down the best prof I have had at uwo so far. Took 1021F as an elective and loved every bit of the course and how he taught it. Super fair, you can tell he wants his students to actually learn and succeed. Would 100% take any course he teaches again. Thank you Dr. Mensink :)
