PSTAT174 . 8 Months Ago

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.

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.

A lot of math proofs and derivations starting from week four. All homework / midterm are assigned after week 6. Really weird schedule. The professor is nice and held extra office hours to provide help.

Many concepts are unclear in his lecture and there are so many mathematical proofs required for this course that are difficult to understand. I regret to take this quarter taught by him.

There are worksheets and quizzes, his lecture notes are from ages ago, he did not update them even thought he switched school. He misses his own classes when he slacks, the TAs had to teach for him. The timing for worksheets and quizzes are insanely short and unreasonable, some require multiple graphing/coding steps within 5 minutes.
