TA sections + Effective Studying = A. You just need to study just like how you study for actuarial exams. Not an easy A, but not a hard A. Shout out to Bella -- she is an outstanding and knowledgeable TA.

I took Professor Peters's graduate course as an undergraduate and initially considered dropping it. However, Dr. Peters encouraged me to stick with it, and I'm glad I did. His lectures were very interesting: He has a deep understanding of the material and consistently took time to check in on my progress and explain concepts thoroughly.

People leave bad reviews because they don't know how to effectively self-study. This is one of the skills that an actuary must have. 172B isn't bad if you know how to read a textbook and apply formulas to solve problems. That's it.

He's very funny but his math skills are questionable. If you get a good TA and you actually read the textbook then the class is a whole lot easier

do not take 171 with him. average mid term on his class is 3 out of 24.

Prof. Peters really cares about students and went above and beyond to help us. However, the structure of the course could be improved. We had to learn all the math in 5/6 weeks, and the math in this class is very difficult. I could've learned the materials better if we started with math right away then moved on to the project in week 9/10.
