Honestly one of the greatest profs at the University of Ottawa. Really cares about students and has an incredible knowledge of the material. The courses are tough though and the workload is huge. Very rewarding classes if you put the time and effort into them.

Comment:

I took this course -- if you take his course and want to pass: 1) go to EVERY lecture and don't talk 2) DON'T submit your homework late 3) ask questions -- he will know you 4) Study continuously -- review material every two or three days. You can't break from reviewing for even one week then come back because then you will fail. Sorry but true.

ELG3126 is a very hard course. It's abstract, hard to understand. This professor only makes it worse.

You will suffer a lot in this class. Tips to success: his notes are useless, so are the lectures. skip them and borrow the book from the library and start reading from the first day. Do not worry about not being able to solve the assignments, you are not alone. do not be sad for failing the midterm, many students will be in your situation. Good lck

Be prepared.. teaching 0 out of 10 heaviness 100 out of 10, in fact the course by itself is a full course load. Midterm are extremely hard, but he has been giving the same midterm every year. Final: impossible to do Project: You need to know how to code in Matlab. it is the same every year. Advice: Avoid him. Very bad attitude. no one likes him.

Comment:

Most terrible prof I've ever taken. Barely gives examples and writes super fast one the board, expects you to understand his terrible handwriting while he explains. Final project isn't even possible since he barely touched on the subject in class relating to it.

Comment:

This professor, return our midterm a week before final. You can't even drop the shet anymore. Worst teacher ever, doesn't know how to teach whatsoever. A recommendation for all EE in second half of third year, don't take 3126 and 3175 this semester, take something else and take those two during summer, otherwise you will regret as I am now.

Comment:

Knowledgeable, but clearly, lacks the pedagogical approach required to teach a challenging topic such as Probability Theory to the uninitiated. Makes a decent effort at explaining the reasoning behind the concepts, but gives little to no examples. Unsuitable for those who have no prior experience with mathematical analysis. Beware!

Comment:

Peter Galko is legitimately one of the smartest professors in the ELG faculty. However, he expects everyone to know as much as him. Many times, questions were asked in class and he would respond with "that's obvious","you should know that" as opposed to simply answering the question. Smart but difficult. Also teaches elg4176 (I've heard bad things)

the truth is that he fails 13/39 graduate student last term and let some of them be expired. if you fail two graduate course, you have to leave uo
