Comment:

Peter is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to law and teaches through examples and his experiences. The exams are difficult but if you attend class and make note of the questions he says will be on the exam and memorize all lists you should be able to get a b. Don't take if you aren't willing to put in the work.

Comment:

His class is very difficult to follow and his power point is ancient. He never uses visual aid or anything. He can be funny but a bit insensitive at times. He teaches you things that you don't really need making the material extremely complicated. Other business law sections are not as hard as his.

I really liked Peter as a Prof. I learn well when examples are given and he has many stories to tell. He was extremely easy to talk to. Amazing person, very knowledgeable. Was hard subject to learn. I enjoyed the subject I was barely passing. I got out with a C+. Tests are long, if you know your stuff you'll be fine You NEED to study and memorize

Comment:

Amazing teacher and person. Some lectures can be dry and boring. Tells lots of stories from his experience as a lawyer. Recommend seeing him in his office hours as it helps alot; especially with assignments. Easy to talk to. Go to class because sometimes he will tell what is on the tests and some notes are not on moodle.

Comment:

Peter is NOT accessible outside of class. I've told him I would be at his office hours twice and both times he doesn't show up. He told us that most students got the same questions wrong on the quiz... I'm pretty positive that Peter writes his own Rate My Prof reviews. The textbook that is required he wrote and we NEVER use it. Don't buy it!

Comment:

He goes off on stories that hardly apply. Lectures are way more compact when theydon't need to be. Gave us an assignment on a chapter he didn't even teach. Have our midterm with 3 weeks left of classes. The midterm has 3 units on it (one of which he didn't teach) and he has 6 more chapters to teach us in 3 weeks. Any other teacher would be better!

Comment:

Other business law classes have it easier. The lectures are beyond what's needed to be taught. Gave us a project without prior lessons on it causing many students to get below-average marks for it. All tests are fill in the blanks making it extremely difficult because you have to keep memorizing. You don't get to apply what you've learned.

Comment:

I had 3 classes with Peter, he is fun and always keeps class enjoying with his stories. He almost always have a story or something to say about any education material. But, make sure to understand a lot of material, because the tests are too long and you should memorize a lot to get A or B. If you are taking BADM 101, you will pass it easily.

One of the assignments was unclear but overall Peter is actually a really good teacher. If you ask him for help he will help you. Parts of his exam are a bit tricky and difficult but if you go to class and follow his instructions you'll get a good grade. Really good teacher.

Comment:

Peter is one of the best teachers at Cap. Does not make the course difficult like other teachers. He is very VERY nice teacher. Easy A if you just attend class, lay back and listen to him, take few notes here and there. You're good to go. Actually, i look for courses by his name, any course he teaches, just take it.

Comment:

He's a good person and all, but his assignments are very unclear, he's slightly rude and snarky and make sure once he returns your stuff you go over it because he misses things. Most of the class didn't do well on the final and doesn't upload your grade until you're super close to the final. His lectures are good though

BADM 107 was great, essential for your education and everyday life. The people complaining either didn't show up or didn't listen. Good luck in the business world if you can't handle a little hard work and grit.

Peter knows law. I have learnt more in this class than any other class I have taken at cap. As long as you show up, take notes and listen, you will do great. Peter is very helpful and the coursework is very manageable. You will learn more than you need to know for not only business but for life. Definitely recommend.

Comment:

Do yourself a favour a avoid any class with Peter. I'm an A student and I'm finding this class extremely difficult to follow. He never gives any criteria for assignments. He is VERY disorganized. He constantly changes dates for presentations without any warning. I'll ask him questions and he says he'll get back to me next class and then NEVER does.

Comment:

I am on the fence whether or not I like Peter. So far he's been very vague about assignments. You think you are doing great, then he tells the entire class 2/3 failed to understand. He goes off on anecdotal stories that only somewhat matter to the course and you are clueless to what the class is even about.

I've taken Peter for a few courses now and love his real life story. Being a lawyer, he has an uncanny ability to use anecdotes to convey teaching points. Though a dry humour, he's hilarious. One of my favourites at CapU.

This a course that's going to help me my whole life. Peter makes it so easy if you go to class and do the assignments. He lectures cause there's so much info, but he's really entertaining. The students who don't like the course don't do the work - simple. He will help if you are lost. He basically tells you what's on the exam BEST TEACHER EVER
