Comment:

Not sure if he's still doing his appointment thing but when I did the math I realized that it was literally impossible for every student in my program to get even one appointment with him in the duration of his course so I reported him, backed by 40 other students. It threw off the entire course but it was found that he was wrong and had to change.

Comment:

I had Peter for several of my CGT classes more than a decade ago. He pushes you to the limit, although some may not like that approach but you will benefit in the real world. A good teacher to have and he is there for you if you need that extra push in class.

Excellent Professor. Hard at first, however, for a good reason. He does an amazing job and taught many life lessons that I still use today. Knowledge will not be spoon fed by Peter. You have to respect your own self potential before you'll get him to respect you.

Comment:

Comes off as extremely unapproachable and rude. Needs to give a lot more direction and explain how topics are relevant. Has a lot of knowledge but gives students a hard time. It is honestly a stressor just to be in his class

Listen to him. Yes he sounds scary at first but if u just listen to him and actually book an appointment with him then you will see he is the nicest and most intelligent person you will ever meet.

Comment:

Peter is one of those guys you don't understand at 1st and will eat you alive if not prepared but once you get into things & he see's that you take things seriously the course gets easier & he becomes real helpful when it comes to helping you understand not only the work but who you are as an individual. Defiantly the best professor I've ever had.

Comment:

By far one of the most intelligent professors I've ever come across. To say he's a 'jack of all trades' is an understatement. I didn't quite understand his methods at first, but as the semester moved forward, they became far more clear and I began to appreciate him a lot more. Tough, but keeps it real. Don't have him as a prof? Your loss.

Comment:

The worst teacher I ever had. He barely teaches you anything, he expects you to learn everything on your own. He is so rude and mean! Always yelling at his students. If he wants to get some respect, he should give some to his students as well.

Comment:

He explains everything in a clear manner and he is quite possibly the smartest professor at Seneca. From what I've seen so far, he is well above a Jack of All Trades in terms of his credentials and in his classes. You earn your grades: if you don't do your work, you will not be able to scrape by. Outstanding.

You learn more from him in regards to live in general than the course material itself. He helps you help yourself rather than simply teaching the material that the course requires.

The best and most efficient teacher I ever had in my life. He is not only teaching people for their professional life, but for real life. His classes will be greatly missed.

Comment:

Oh hey, it's the dude who destroyed my interest in college education. Turns out life had other plans for me, but Peter's overly-harsh lessons on the "real world" are generally not applicable out here. Do desperate students still trail him wherever he goes and hang on to his every word like Jesus' disciples?

The reason why half the people are scared of him is because they refuse to accept what he has to say. He is a great teacher with the BEST analogies on the planet. Forces you to think outside the box and not to be bloody lazy.

Comment:

His behaviour and rudeness is just off the scale! It would of been nice if he was clear about his assignment requirements and that "real world" talking down to us stuff got old really fast; it's very insulting as none of us are naive idiots. Was suppose to have him for DMA422 but he got replaced. For ALL of his classes it looks like.

overly serious about life and everything else. i get the hard love part, but lighten up, honestly. If I had a choice of having him or not having him, i'd rather not.

Comment:

Peter needs to change his teaching style, i believe he is an intelligent person.. But if he thinks by yelling at students will make them respect him is totally wrong, his dad probably didnt love him that much when he was a kid.. but overall, i hope he retires soon.
