Nice guy and means well. Talks way too quickly, never have time to take notes from the slides before he changes them. Also, his quizzes aree extremely specific - but his lectures are not. Hard to do well.Rate My Professors ↗
Peter was fine. 4 Homework sets, instructions were vague, took hours, and were worth 30% of the overall grade. Refused to confirm/deny answers during office hours, convinced all his students used AI, spoke quickly, etc. The course would benefit from a TA/someone who offered guided instruction for HW sets,etc. One midterm exam & group project.Rate My Professors ↗
Peter was an okay professor throughout. He went through lectures really fast and it was tough to understand all the content. He is a pretty harsh grader and will take off for anything little. He said he curved the class but didn't really follow through. He means the best for his students but he came off a little harsh.Rate My Professors ↗
He's ok. I heard that Tom's class is easier. He takes attendance every class. It is vey lecture heavy and he goes fast and it's hard to keep up. Doesn't record lectures, but posts slides, so if you miss what he said hope someone else caught it. If you put in the work you'll be okay. Office hours felt like a waste of time, at least to me.Rate My Professors ↗
