About this rating

Raw average: 3.33/5 from 9 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
An incredibly intelligent guy with some really bright moments in class when talking about his work. However, lecturing is not his strong suit. Drop in tutoring and reading the textbook will be your friends. Class is important as he will mention important stuff not sent in emails(like when homework is due) and gives extra credit quizzes.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Professor Perepezko is a very intelligent man and clearly knows his stuff. Showing up and paying attention in lectures is the most important factor in this class and you'll leave better for it.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 5/5
Dr Perepezko is no doubt the smartest professor Ive ever met. If the class size were smaller it would probably be the most useful engineering class there is, but having 40 people makes it hard to follow. The class is HARD and way more time consuming than I expected. The final was not cumulative and covered 400 pages of a research like textbook

Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Prof. Perepezko is one of the smartest scientists and researchers. He genuinely knows what he's talking about. His problem is that he is a atrocious lecturer. He doesn't know how to properly educate undergrads. He has a obnoxiously unrealistic expectations of his students. There is no book, so your best source are your peers, work together.
