Reviews of professor Paul Richardson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Worst professor I have ever had at UB . I wish there were more professors teaching this course that are inspirational and encouraging to their students. If you take him be prepared to have a semester filled of stress and depression. It does not matter how much you try he will always find problems with your work and just wants more and more.

Barely listened in his class, was pretty boring, everything is on slides, final and midterm are just papers, APA FORMAT, cool guy, just really really really really really really really boring lectures... so yeah have fun with that

Worst professor I have ever had. Every single negative comment from this page about him is valid. He takes forever to grade, is condescending, does not provide insightful feedback, and is arrogant.

This man is bleh. First of all, never responded to ANY of my messages all year but always says to reach out. TOO MUCH READING. His assignments were always complicated. I hated his papers. I hated his grading style. Should have read the reviews on him before signing up.

I enjoyed the course subject, but Dr. Richardson is a bit difficult. Receiving graded papers can take upwards to 4 weeks. The grading rubric and feedback for the papers is vague making it difficult to improve from week to week. The group project assignments are tough to coordinate and complete in 1 week with the amount of research that is expected.

Dr. Richardson was very tough to engage with. The class was online so I couldn't just go to his office. Instead, he gives you a phone number and his email at the top of the syllabus and says to contact him anytime. Will take a week to respond to email and doesn't pick up phone. He is not available during office hours. Cares more about citations.

I read the comments before I had taken Dr. Paul and I was a bit discouraged, but he turned out to be a very good professor. He is very clear as to what he expects. I worked in a group that was horrible and I was scared we would not pass. I reached out to Dr. Paul to let him know the many challenges that I had to face. He was very understanding.
