Dr. Paul was a wonderful teacher this quarter! His lectures were interesting, clear, and engaging. Sleep is something we all do, yet we know so little about it. It was super interesting to hear from Dr. Paul and other sleep experts on the reason we sleep the way we do. The class was very organized and clear, and it was cool to hear from different guest lecturers who each had unique insight into sleep. Would highly recommend any physci or neuro student to take this course!

I don't know what happened to the people reviewing that took this class over COVID, but I LOVED this class! I think that Dr. Paul is such a kind professor who clearly cares about what he's doing and helping students. As long as you show that you care, he cares. His lectures are super clear, which made the material easier to understand and genuinely interesting. Definitely would recommend!

This class is super engaging, and you can just tell Dr. Paul cares. Funny guy with Dad energy. You can tell he likes it when people clap after his presentations LOL. Would recommend taking this class with him.

This class was pretty interesting, and I appreciated how the lectures were formatted more like a seminar/graduate-level class. Guest speakers were brought in for many lectures, which gave the class a pretty well-rounded view of the topic. Discussion quizzes weren't hard and covered basic topics talked about in lecture & reviewed in the discussion. The final paper was a good practice in scientific writing and thinking critically about the class subjects.

I found this class to be engaging and relatively well-balanced in terms of class difficulty and pace of content - in terms of student experience, what makes the course is Dr. Paul’s lecture. He’s so engaged with students and takes the time to speak with students during OH - tests are also straightforward so that’s a plus. Overall a solid course for decent effort for an A in the course.

This class was great as it satisfied my major elective requirements and was interesting! The professor seemed nice, though I never talked to him directly. The only thing that bothered me sometimes was when he would have twenty slides at the end of the lecture and wouldn't go over them because we ran out of time, but he would still tell us that we are expected to know the information (but it was never important enough to know for the midterm or final).

Ketema Paul was an awful lecturer. He just read the slides and sometimes he couldn't even read his own slides right. He clearly teaches because the school forces him to. The only upside is he really doesn't care that much which led to his exam being the easiest of the three modules in 111A. So tbh, I liked him better than the other profs because the exam wasn't stressful.

Took this class asynchronously, lectures were easy to follow and it was cool how they invited guest lecturers every week. There were weekly multiple choice quizzes and the midterm/final were papers (create an experiment and relate to lecture material) that weren't graded too harshly. Final presentation was presenting the purpose, methods, results, etc of a relevant paper.

you're thrown into the deep end with the neurophysiology module. Dr. Paul talks REALLY FAST, so fast that he's reading off of the slides and basically mumbling in an indecipherable way. he likes to post everything on the slide so there's a lot of words and no interaction or breakdown of what he really means.

He's a good person, but you can tell Dr. Paul is one of those professors that cares about his research and teaching is something he's kinda required to do. He often goes into tangents on his research but learning from him was just plain difficult for me. ofc you're stuck with whichever profs you get, but be prepared to pay CLOSE attention to his slides and parse information out on your own.

Dr. Choe (Ronny) is much more laidback and friendly. He speaks slower and likes to draw out his diagrams and explanations so you can follow along. His teaching style and communication were significiantly better when compared to Dr. Paul, but Ronny's exam was way harder.

Overall, I liked this class and thought that it provided some very useful information regarding the topics that it covered and the way that it connected them to research. Critiquing and reading the papers was difficult, I can't lie, but it did get better throughout the quarter. Your grade on these definitely can depend on your TA. In terms of Dr. Paul, I think he had good intentions, but his midterm was unfair and he did not present the material in a very digestable manner. He often went way too fast in lectures, and would not go back to review the material. He knew the material well but just couldn't put it in a way that many college students could understand. They say you should do the readings, but I only did them if I did not understand something.
