Friendly guy! Funny and very helpful. But please be warned. If you are coming from 1150 get ready to be bombarded with new material. It's such a big jump. This may have been the downfall and not Peter. Go to the math center everyday and DON'T fall behind

Great guy, extremely helpful. If the lecturing or homework is unclear, use the office hours and he will make you understand. This is the first math class I ever got above a B+.

Comment:

He is a very nice and helpful instructor. He sometimes tells his students what kind of questions he is gonna put in exams. Also, most exam questions are quite similar to assignment questions. It was a breeze for me to get full marks on his midterm. However, the final is a bit harder than midterms because it covers lots of materials.

Comment:

He's a nice person but cannot teach well at all, very unclear in teaching everything, and his notes only cover 25% of the homework assignments, and his exams are difficult. He skips steps all the time, and she skips so many steps and just writes the solution on the board. You will be left extremely confused. Sometimes he is not clear at helping.

Comment:

Really great guy. Very friendly, and more than open to helping you when you need it. Before you get to know him, he seems weird, but once you get past that, very helpful. Never gets enough sleep, always very tired. Exams are quite difficult, but I stress that he is extremely helpful, and lectures quite well.

Comment:

Peter gives us a lot works to do. That is what we need to do if we wanna be successful in Math. Don't like some instructors just explain the example of textbook. That is unuseful. Doing practise is the best to learn things and figure out whether you understand what you learned.

Have to do a lot of self study because I didn't understand half the things that he was teaching. The homework he assigns look nothing like the ones the class examples.

Voice hard to follow. Seems to not have enough sleep 100% of the time, midterms/assignment very challenging. Must do extra reading/work by yourself and if you dont understand something go to his office hrs.

Comment:

assignments are nearly impossible to do. Quizzes can range from fair to ridiculously difficult. If you arrive to an answer like tan(4)/8 on a quiz, don't erase it, he tends to ask weird questions. Midterms are always based on hw and is fair. The Final is another story...when he says his exams are "medium", don't take his word for it....trust me

Comment:

Peter isn't a hard teacher but the course is! He is passionate about what he teaches and he cares about his students. He tells you what will be on the midterms and final. Lots of long assignments but if you do them all you'll have no trouble doing well. He can be hard to follow at times but if you go over in class notes it'll be clear.

He needs more sleep that's all I can say. His teaching is not clear, and I had to get a tutor for this course. Exams are hard

Comment:

Peter is an okay math teacher, he tries to make sure you understand concepts. Midterm questions are pretty fair in terms of difficulty, as are the weekly quizzes, but the homework assignments are a different story. For some reason his notes only help you complete (on average) about 25-50% of the homework questions, leaving you stuck with the rest.

Comment:

I find his muffling voice kinda hard to follow. I wasn't very satisfied about my first midterm because I couldn't stay awake in class. Most people dropped right after this. For the 2nd midterm, I decided to self study and did much better. He can be lazy on balancing out marks on tests. Ex. Questions are out of 6 no matter how easy and hard they are

Comment:

you don't have to like math to like peter. he's a completely genuine and hilarious man who cares a lot about his students. from having 10 hrs of office hrs a week, sending encouraging emails, and setting up extra review sessions outside of class time. If you're a lazy person, don't take him because Peter deserves better students.
