Comment:
Dr. Pekala is a wonderful professor. His lectures are clear and he doesn't give information you don't need to know. He will give you a study guide before each test (including labs) that will tell you exactly what you will need to know for the exams. AP2 is not an easy class but if you show up, put in the work, and pay attention you will do well.

Dr. Pekala is funny and keeps the class interesting. If you come to class and take good notes you will be fine. You should also go see the SI instructor before exams for the practice test. The practice tests are almost identical to the actual exam.

Dr. Pekala is an amazing teacher. He clearly knows what he's talking about and makes things easy to understand. As long as you show up to class, pay attention, and take notes, you'll be fine in this class. Also, take him for the Lab, his are easier than other professors make them.

Dr. Pekala was and still is one of my favorite teachers at ESU hands down. He kept the subject interesting and comprehensible. He is very down to Earth and also funny. Pretty much all of details on his tests are straight from hi s notes, so it makes things so much easier. He's just a great guy.

He's the best professor you could possibly ask for. His lectures are fun, he's very down to earth, and he'll work with you rather than against you. Great guy!

Dr. Pekala is a dedicated, frank and down-to-earth professor. He brings the diagrams to life and explains things on your level, adding interesting stories from his own personal experiences as an RN. Loves to involve people in his discussions and make it feel more like a conversation than a lecture. GREAT!

My personal favorite! Im a nursing major and this course is a requiremwnt and so far im passing it in flying colors. His review sheets are your test and he even tells you up to what number the material goes too. Multiple choice and straight forward. Very funny and loves what he does. Notes are short and to the point. LOVE HIM! DEF TAKE HIS COURSE!!

I loved him! His tests are all multiple choice but pretty straight forward and he doesnt try to trick you for the most part. He will help you if you need if and if he knows youre trying and you care, he wont fail you. I hope to have him again in the future!

Comment:
He is honestly one of the nicest teachers at this school. He's a pretty funny guy but likes to get to the point when teaching. The tests are okay if you put the time in to study and he'll give a curve every so often.If you take his three hour just remember the words "miller time" and he'll let you out kinda early.

He is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I found the course easy, but you need to put the time in. He's incredibly kind & helpful, and will take the time to answer questions and to work with you in and out of class. He also provides real-world examples, which makes the class more interesting.

He's great, funny, really tries to answer all questions and make you understand the material. summer session is condensed but you learn alot and he makes you a mini book. Works with you not against you. He's good even cuts you a break time to time. I'm taking him again... wonderful teacher
