Comment:

This was the first phys course I've done in my life, and pedersen made sure I knew it. He did umpteen-dozen examples and gave out review sets and asgnmts. If you went to him with a problem he made sure you knew the answer before you left. His tests were fair, you definately had to study hard for them, but they were fair. Too bad he's retired

The whole class is one big struggle. My marks were fine, but I felt lost all the time. Not good at explaining and singles people out.

I know I'm not stupid but I sure felt like it the year I did my Physics with him. I just don't think he knows how to explain things well enough.

Comment:

he was an overall good guy. He liked to be cocky and give easy examples in calss and try to pull a blind one on you on the test. His tests were all questions to challenge. (NOT THE TIME FOR IT) but if you go by his bibe and do the question you'll so fine

he was very rude and loved to swear and curse on his students. Would never even look his way again. If anyone ever gets ths chance try and find out what is actually in his "coffee cup".

Comment:

doesn't care about his students, thinks that because he knows how to do something everyone else should too. exams are way too hard, he expects too much from his students considering that he doesn't teach very good

Very hard! Loves to embarrass his students by putting them on the spot and telling them that they are stupid for not being able to multiply! Should not be teaching math! I hear he's even worse for Physics!

Comment:

I advise to be prepared to be singled-out for questions, be level-headed when he rolls the dice choosing the only question you didn't have done on the assignment and be prepared to be swore at...and buy his study guide! Good luck.

This was even worse than 1021,pederson knows this stuff yet he thinks you gets the material as well as he does, study guide is not as helpful as he thinks itis,but i loved the course just could not get my head around the material, a mandatory SI is needed

Comment:

Course was taught well yet, the problem was if you did not get something, he didnt go out of his way to help, it seemed as if he assumed you would get it when this is a hard course, assignments are good but hard not very affective for learning,

Comment:

Dr. Pedersen is an excellent Professor. He really knows his stuff, and he gives it to you in an efficient manner. He gives lots of assignments, but they are a big help. He is a humourous Prof. which adds to his teaching style. He slips the curse words,lol

He gives a lot of examples, but his assignments and tests can be a lot more difficult than those examples given in class. Be prepared. He's always willing to help if you go ask him.
