Great teacher. Provides very little guidance for exams. Not the hardest class ever, but certainly does not have the clearest expectations.

Comment:
Professor Petersen is clearly an incredibly intelligent man. His lectures are very clear and very interesting. The problem is that you are graded on two exams. He claims that the final is not cumulative... But it turns out to be very cumulatively from exam 1. His tests are subjective, so make sure you have a good relationship with the professor.

His lectures are very well-organized. He is a professional lecturer and knows exactly what questions students might have. The materials after midterm get too much attention than deserved, but overall it's an interesting class.

Probably the best professor I've ever had. Remarkably clear, ridiculously smart, and always willing to answer questions.

Good teacher. Lecture is slightly boring, but he does try to make things interesting and spur discussion. Tests are fair, not too difficult, and very similar to the problem sets. Good Class.

Comment:
Petersen has a purely lecture-based teaching style. Even outside the classroom, he does not seem to promote discussion. While he is a fine teacher, you are only going to learn what he wants you to learn. The content of lecture is not very difficult, so he tends to over explain really simple concepts (making his courses pretty easy)

Comment:
Prof. Petersen is certainly an easy prof, but he is NOT an engaging lecturer. His grading policy is to look for buzz words, not understanding, and the examples are too watered down to be of any practical use. Take B School econ instead.

Great professor!! Examples are clear and problem sets are very helpful even though they are not a major factor in grading. He made microeconomics an enjoyable class.

Comment:
Petersen is a great teacher; his examples are exceedingly clear, and he communicates economic principles effectively and lucidly. The class can get a little dry (especially with the cost functions of the firm), but that's more due to the material itself than any deficiency in teaching.

Comment:
He thoroughly covers the material, and makes it easy to understand. For those with previous economic exposure, the class can become repetitive and boring. Overall, a great class, and a good professor for intro level.

A really nice guy, but not much more. Class examples are thorough but basic. Grading policy is strange ("optional" homework is a factor only if you have a borderline final grade, everything else is based on 3 tests.) Overall I'd say he's a good teacher.
