  • Paolo is a great teacher and is super enthusiastic about the content. Very interesting course and is super fun to take, especially with the small class size. So, so easy if you show up and just pay attention.

  • Don't listen to the previous reviews, they were with a different teacher. Course is not hard whatsoever. It is not nearly as difficult as Kin 308. The course is based off of applying concepts you've learned in Kin 308 to scenarios. Even if you haven't taken Kin 308 you can still get 80++. I finished with 90+. Very interesting course and highly recommend. Easiest 400 course I have taken.

  • Hardest class taken in all of undergrad and the least useful. Prof is very knowledgable but the content is all over the place and isn't explained properly.

  • Go to lectures!! The slides for this class are sparse and he talks a ton during the lectures. There's only a midterm (40%) and a final (60%) and they're all mostly long or essay responses. Not as easy course. I took it for my minor but at this rate I'm probably not going to do the minor anymore. Also the course is like, barely relevant for the (health physio) minor which is frustrating. BUT it's super cool how he's directly researched all the stuff he teaches.
