Reviews of professor Joshua Paiz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He's the best professor I ever had in GWU! He's caring and soooo kind! He will give you specific feedbacks on your paper and really patient to every single words of in both class and office hour! He's also really humorous to make his 'boring' literature class fun! Take him! You can even become friends! He's also not a tough grader!

genuinely nice professor, super clear grading criteria and gives good feedback. Participation and attendance are both important and he gives a ton of readings, but overall a pretty easy class if you just put in some work and effort.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
not that helpful to your writing skills, easy to follow but hard to earn the grade, lots of time required.

Dr. Paiz's EAP class was challenging, but he found a way to make it funny whenever he could. Sometime his joke were not that funny, but at least he tried. Anytime I want to meet during office hour he tries to be available. I always feel better once I meet him.

Professor Paiz has a great sense of humor. Witty and talkative, he managed to keep the class engaged for the most part. Assignments are easy to accomplish if completed promptly, and his expectations for assignments couldn't be more explicit. He also has a very flexible late submission policy. Highly critical of GW, but overall great professor

Just do the work and participate in class and this class is an easy A. Paiz is extremely understanding and wants all his students to succeed. The more effort you give the easier the class becomes.

Really great professor! Prof.Paiz is wise and humorous. Highly recommend to take EAP 1010: no exams only presentation projects, but with very clear rubrics and guidelines, and have sufficient time to finish. Not a hard class at all, and it's enjoyable to taking his class.

He's tough, but cares about students. Makes a required class a little less painful. Sometimes distracted onto tangent during lecture.

I am an international student, and I have taken online EAP courses this summer. Dr.Paiz is a really fantastic and helpful professor. His course has rich content. And I received very good suggestions and assistance from his detailed feedback. This course has been very inspiring to me and has enhanced my confidence in graduate studies!
