Comment:

Dr. P is one of my favorite educators. His classes aren't the easiest, but I feel that they prepare you for life in your career. He is more than happy to form a friendship with you and assist you in your field even after you've graduated. I recommend everyone to take one of his classes.

Comment:

Instructor gave a lot of hands-on instruction. Lectures were incredibly boring, but to maintain student interest he asked for input on all topics. A lot of projects, which were fun. Tests were un-reasonably difficult. Availability outside class was good. Overall positive experience, you just need to be self-motivated.

Took Dr. P for several classes. Awesome job and is willing to listen to new ideas. Who ever said otherwise should have tried talking to him. Highly recommend him for anything he is teaching. Dr. P was one of the major reasons I am now getting my doctorates degree!

I loved Mr. P! Very helpful and a great guy to sit and talk to even outside of class. I would take him anytime. Do what you can to take a class of his, you won't regret it!

Comment:

Argumentative, wont accept student insight, somewhat egotistical, lack of knowledge for topic matter. Not up to par...Hard to stay focused during boring lecture topics. Very poor test designs.
