Comment:
Pavitts definitely a goofball but 341 is very doable. Never paid attention in class but just did review before the exams. He gives you all the exam questions ahead of time and then picks 2 or 3 for the test, so if you prepare you'll be fine.

Don't go to class just read his lecture packet to the point of memorization and you can do well.

Great teacher! Really explains the material well and the textbook is just as helpful, however, you don't need to read it. Not a large quantity of assignments but more bigger assignments based on quality.

Pavitt is a brilliant, brilliant man who's very sweet once you see through the occasionally brusque facade. He's detached, but one can tell how much he cares about his discipline from the wide range of topics and authors he selects from, which are usually pretty cool.

Comment:
Did not want to take him after 301 but 341 isn't bad with him. If you're papers are thoughtful, you'll do well. He gives the essays for the exams 1 week prior. He's a bit confusing but don't be shy and ask questions. It's not impossible to get an A but you'll have to work for it.

Comment:
a lot of people think he is boring, but i find him very amusing to watch, especially because he has a dog cell phone holder attached to his jeans. the material isn't interesting, but i think he does the best anyone can do teaching this stuff. i thought the class was not hard and he was a pretty cool guy.

Comment:
I got into the major and I still HATE THIS EVIL MAN. He doesn't care how you do in the class. He doesn't care about helping you as my meetings with him didn't help at all. The class is deathly boring, and terribly confusing, and he expects everyone to understand it just as well as he does. BEWARE OF PAVITT. WORST TEACHER AT UDEL!

Laid back. No exams, but there are 4 papers and 1 transcript. Lots of readings, but he explains them all in class. An interesting class, although it is very theoretical. Know how to write well if you take him. If you can write, then no problem..if this isn't your strength than try something else.

Comment:
Read every chapter in the book twice, go to class occasionally for review and you will be fine. Clearly the poorer ratings are from those who didn't make the major. He is tough, but these prelim classes are intended to be difficult. Lecture is a bit confusing, but the book makes it cake.

Yes he is boring and rude at times, but you don't have to be a nerd to get decent grades. Go to class and do the readings.

Have to agree with others. He's the worst prof at UD. Classes are boring, research studies are ok, tests are impossible unless youre a nerd and study is all you do. Just do the best you can and be happy to get a grade in B range.

He's an interesting fellow. He loves what he teaches even if you may not. He will help you if you go to him. Work your ass off get an A/A- or do the work moderatley well and you'll get a B/B+. Classes can be so boring so try and stay awake tests/ papers right from notes. Don't bother with the readin
