Comment:

Dr. Peschke is a very cheerful professor who puts a lot of effort into his class. However the structure of the course was incompatible with his teaching style and the level of work required in his class was just atrocious. you're better off using Khan Academy to learn this class.

Comment:

Dr Peschke is up there as one of my best first year professors. He made MATH 102 a lot of fun, went at a slow pace in order for the class to understand everything he was doing, and talked about the theory and foundation of linear algebra a lot, which made the class even more interesting!

He's one of the only MATH 102 profs who actually explains the theory. He's also super helpful if you go to his office hours.

Comment:

Peschke is knowledgable and very good at explaining advanced concepts intuitively. Anyone with an affinity for math will appreciate his rigorous approach to teaching. Other reviews suggest he focusses on theory rather than application, but this should be expected for a theoretical mathematics class; this is very much an asset, not a hindrance.

Comment:

He has to be one of the worst profs in UofA. Dont get me wrong, he knows a lot. But the man doesnt know how to teach. He pays more attention to theory rather than explanation. Our class had an average of 1.8, so i hope that says a lot. Do yourself a favor and RUN.

Comment:

Dr. Peshke really makes learning math harder than it needs to be. I found his lectures to focus on more theory than application whereas he tested the application of those theories. I went to his office hours often, got a decent grade in the class, but I have no idea what linear algebra actually is.

Comment:

Im not exactly sure why this mans rating isn't higher. I failed math 102 in the winter term of 2017, and took this section in the following fall term. All I can say is that his teaching style is amazing, and his notes are PDF format so you can mainly just follow along and understand what he's showing, rather than playing "catch up" taking notes.

Comment:

His powerpoints are super clear and he explains extremely well. Warning tho, if you go to his office hours, come prepared. He hates disorganization and be very clear with your questions. He might sound a bit harsh sometimes but he gives good feedback. And hes hilarious in class.

Comment:

He is a great guy don't get me wrong. Best prof I've had for out of lecture help. However if he senses that you're trying to milk an answer out of him because you're to lazy to do the question yourself, you'll probably leave his office feeling like a pathetic waste. Assignments are typical length and difficulty. PREPARE FOR HARD MIDTERM AND FINAL!!

Lectures are fantastic and I actually had fun going to them. This dude can be funny and he really goes into depth when explaining key ideas. If you study hard and start assignments early and do lots of practice problems the course should be a breeze

Comment:

Very intelligent professor and explains theory and concepts thoroughly. Lectures and work outside of class are a must. Math is not an easy subject and requires practice so when the other reviews say his grading is harsh or the tests are hard all I have to say is that they didn't put in the work and it shows through their frustration with the prof.
