34A . Garfield P M A Month Ago

This dude is the goat such a nice guy and the class is so free he gives practice tests for every test and if you know how to do them you will get an A just learn what's on the practice test a few days before test day

Peter would always show up with a Big Gulp from 711 in the beginning of every lecture. Other than that, he did virtually nothing. Yes, he taught during lecture and he was fine, but I think he overcomplicated things so much. I took AP Calculus in High School and got an A+ in both 34A and 34B, and I never went to lecture.

The class in of itself is easy, the practice exams are almost EXACTLY like the actual test with a few curveball steps he doesn't mention (though if you show work and get it semi/ mostly wrong you'll still get a good grade). Honestly felt scared because I didn't take calc or even pre-calc in highschool but you'll be fine, enroll in CLAS groups.

Super easy class grading-wise, but if you don't learn super duper fast, you'll have to do a good amount of work outside of class. He moves super fast sometimes, and the homework isn't always the most straightforward. But the midterms don't impact your grade too much, and he'll raise a C to a B if you show effort by attending lectures and sections.

Extremely understanding and caring Professor. Exams are exactly the same as practice tests, just with different numbers, basically. Weekly quizzes in sections with 1 easy question (if you know what's going on). I averaged an 87% on all of the exams and 90% on the quizzes, and I got an A-. IClicker didn't have geo-location on.

Before going into this class I took AP Calculus in high school and that definitely helped me a lot. Peter is a caring person and wants to be there for his students, he is just not the best teacher and makes concepts a lot more complicated than they actually are. Putting in the effort he guarantees a B and gives 4 practice tests for study material
