Reviews of professor Paul Wolff Mitchell

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's super energetic and all over the place but super smart and makes class interesting. He loves to go on tangents that make a boring subject interesting. Tests are hard but lets you do essay part at home and answers all come out of the textbook so they're grade savers. You have to read the textbook though.

Quizzes and short writing assignments every week based on prerecorded lectures, papers, and other videos he assigns. You have to read and watch everything to understand the content. You can easily get an A if you put in the effort. Very interesting class just a lot of work.

Dr. Mitchell is clearly passionate about what he does, and I find his lectures genuinely intriguing--it's just that they're between 1-2 hours long. If you take this class, make sure you can stay on top of the modules throughout the week. There's a lot of difficult terminology but the course is overall very enlightening.

Best class i've taken in anthropology. Prof Mitchell is so so smart and clearly excited about what he teaches. I've learned so much, and he makes even boring material interesting, and is kinda quirky. You definitely have to read the textbook to do well, but overall a great class!

Very caring and accommodating person. He takes your concerns into consideration when making decisions for the course, evident when he changes due dates if he realizes students are struggling. You are graded on short writing assignments, quizzes, participation, and one 2000 word paper. You will need to read a lot to understand each week's topics.

Paul is quirky, cool and (politically) correct. You have to actually read, but he makes the lectures interesting and clearly knows a lot. Paul has a wide range of skills and talents. I've learned a lot from him and his class was pretty easy. Definitely recommend.

A lot of work each week but tests are easy if you read. He curved the grades at the end so I got a better grade than I thought. You can choose the quizzes and writing responses to skip or to drop. Overall a great class, interesting topics, professor is super smart. Not as bad as it seems with the work if you keep up with it.

Paul is funny and personable. The tests are hard; they're only essay questions, each question has various parts, and he expects specifics. My advice is to pay more attention to what he's saying in class and go back and look at the slides later (he posts them) because a lot of things he says aren't on the slides but are on the tests and quizzes.

He is an inspirational and amazing professor! His course was so good, and I loved every minute of it. He is the only white man I have ever trusted to teach me. Would take this course again, even if I didn't get credits.
