Comment:
Dr Petersson provides decent lecture slides, although I do feel she could make them more clear and concise. The online quizzes are helpful, but she only gives you 24 hours. I wish there were more in class assignments. Shes offers to meet outside of class but isnt easily accessible. The tests could be better but arent terrible.

Does not have clear grading criteria. Exams are lengthy and make them very difficult to complete. Does not offer help to students

Comment:
Avoid if possible. Even while guest-lecturing she managed to confuse the entire class with her portion of the exam. Has somewhat of a condescending tone, but has never been rude to me personally. The frustration of her random and confusing lectures does not make up for the cute animal videos she sometimes chooses to show.

Comment:
She is flippant, will turn on a dime and has an inconsistent personality. She never responds to emails, is incredibly rude and harsh-dont anticipate social skills. Her tests are unfair and she often makes you read irrelevant papers because her daughter published new research (cool but irrelevant). Get ready to rely on the book and STUDY

Will not help you on assignments. Not clear what she wants on assignments. If she says something is not on the exam STUDY it!. She is very nit-picky with her questions. If you don't need to take this class do not take it. Worst AVS teacher.

Her classes are very difficult and have a lot of information. She is willing to help you out and wants you to do well. Very friendly.

Definitely not an easy professor, but once you get the hang of her tests you'll do fine. Yes, you do have to study, you'll learn a heck of a lot though! Plus, if you make friends with her, she's really nice and willing to help you out.

Wonderful teacher! Some people thought her exams were somewhat hard, but as long as you study the material, you'll ace the class! She is very approachable, funny, and kind. Definetely take a class with her, if you can.

Good teacher, very fair exams. Personality swings between nice and not. Very strict. However, I learned a lot and would take her classes again.

Great teacher, if she didn't say it it's not on the exam, test questions very relevent, wants you to learn. Material is explained thoroughly. Doesn't usually use the book that's required, will fail you for being late too much no matter why.
