great professor! he's kinda awkward and funny at the same time. If you work hard, don't slack, come to class and prepare for exams it shouldn't be too difficult to end up with an A/AB. Classes aren't mandatory but definitely show up and take notes and you'll do well on the exams

Awesome teacher, fun to learn from. Great guy to go talk with and learn a lot about the actual real estate world from him.

I was the only non RE major in my class and he made me consider switching my major to real estate. He is a fantastic professor and his tests are very fair if you go to lecture and put some time in.

Peter is one of the best teachers I've had in the business school. He cares a lot about the class and tries his best to make lectures interesting. Very helpful and does everything in his power to help people learn the material. Just a great guy overall.

PBR is the man. He cares a lot about his students and manages to make a dry subject at least semi-interesting. You have to know your stuff to get an A but that's due to the busines school curve. Great guy.
