He's probably not the worst prof you'll ever have, but avoid him if you can. Not a strong lecturer; which is a shame considering that he's very knowledgeable on the subject matter, but conveys that knowledge poorly.

Comment:
His lectures are unengaging, disorganized, incredibly uninteresting ramblings on some vague subject of the text. The course is not well organized, our session having gone 2 days behind within the first 2 weeks. . He'll occasionally respond to questions in a slightly condescending tone. I will say, though, he is very knowledgeable.

Comment:
Lectures were not engaging and active in-class participation makes up 10% of your final grade. Dr. Endo is pretty fair at grading, but a little hard. Lectures mainly consist of discussion on texts so since essays are 50% grammar/style/composition it's important to have good writing skills prior to entering the class (you won't learn how to write).

Comment:
Worst prof ever. Tough marker and marks your paper based on his opinions/bias. Mans stubborn and gives you vague reasons to take marks off. Literally gives useless feedbacks. Doesnt provide a clear criteria as to what he expects on major assignments. If he dislikes your claims or writing format, youre screwed.

Comment:
Held a class on the Henriad, his syllabus was helpful in summarizing the themes he would include on a per-class basis. Very tough marker, but he would elaborate on every criticism on asked to a degree that felt satisfactory. My only big complaint was that his lectures begged discussion, but there were no tangible mark benefits for it.

Comment:
Paul Endo was my prof during the COVID crisis. He was not well equipped for this. Many of the usual class activities did not work online. He further had no idea how to use the technology and therefore lectures were often long and tiresome. Would not recommend him but if you have to have him, you'll be okay.

Comment:
Each class would be generally connected to a topic - such as argument writing or rhetorical analysis - but the lectures felt like a collection of vague tips instead of a proper lesson. He did not make it explicit what he expected, which made it difficult to get top marks. Not difficult to pass, but literally impossible to get over 90%.

First class we had he told us no one gets above 80 ever. Not exactly the greatest encourager. Also, beware of differing opinions because he does not know how to comprehend that people have different views other than his own.

Just don't take this class, find a new prof. He is a tough marker but doesn't teach you how to do each assignment properly. If he doesn't agree with your argument he will mark your paper even harder.

A very DECENT professor. Nothing to really complain about. Do your readings, pay attention in class during group discussions, and you'll do well. The only thing that bothered me was the lecturing. I took this class in summer, but I feel like 80% of the time was just listening to him talk and talk and talk and talk and talk....

Comment:
I am a B+/A student but nearly failed his class. Asked for help and clarification, but all I got were vague apathetic answers. Got a paper back and his only note was on his dislike of my writing style and writing PROCESS what?(the claim he made was untrue) There is a major difference in criticizing and critiquing and only one makes a good teacher.

Comment:
Endo wasn't bad at all, imo. Couple papers throughout the term, and he doesn't expect you to buy books for the class. I will say it's hard to get a good mark like you can with some other profs, no one usually gets 80+ as a final mark in his class. But I thought he was funny, and his readings were pretty interesting. Marking was fair

I made a huge mistake by missing a lot of his lectures. This caused me to have an almost 50% attendance and if you do not have at least 60% attendance you are not allowed to give the final exam. Dr. Paul Endo still allowed me to give it and literally saved my course grade. I really appreciate his gesture and owe him my utmost respect.

Lectures are interesting and he breaks them up with clips from relevant movies. He promotes class discussion and is willing to listen and answer questions. Tough marker, really nit-picky with grammar and formatting, even on in-class essays. If you're willing to work for it and attend lectures you'll do well.

Comment:
Terrible. Dry, mind numbing lectures yet brutal and inconsistent grading. He is an incredibly picky marker and only seems to accept arguments that are constructed the same as his own. His examples are very weak, yet he expects a lot. Avoid him, but if you are stuck with him, try giving him exactly what you think he wants to hear.

Comment:
I enjoy english, so I found him alright, but if you don't like the subject or aren't interested in the materials (nice mix of poems and plays and books) you'll probably find him really boring and the course kind of complicated. Nice guy, not super heavy reading, but he does make you work for it. Interesting materiels!
