PSTAT131 . Yu G H 6 Months Ago

Definitely avoid if you can. Unfair exams, more focused on confusing and tricking students than assessing their knowledge of the material

PSTAT232 . Yu G H 7 Months Ago

This class was a mess. The professor just read off the slides, never explained anything clearly, and didn't seem to care if we understood. Grading felt random, and office hours were useless. I came in hoping to learn stats, but mostly left confused and frustrated. Wouldn't recommend at all.

PSTAT131 . Yu G H 7 Months Ago

Terrible professor. Lectures are disorganized and confusing, and he rarely answers questions clearly. He reads straight from the slides without explaining concepts. Grading is inconsistent, and there's no feedback on assignments. Office hours feel rushed and unhelpful. I learned more from YouTube than from class.

PSTAT131 . Yu G H 8 Months Ago

Don't know what's up with the negative reviews. I agree that lectures were focused on theoretical concepts it's math course so what do you expect? He knows the material inside out, with well-structured homeworks that actually help you understand the content. Final exam was fair, it's just that without a midterm we didn't know what was expected.

PSTAT131 . Yu G H 8 Months Ago

Lectures were pretty useless, though he does know his stuff. Final exam was poorly written, class average of 50% (though he did curve the final grades). Provided 4 bullet points for instructions on the final project.

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.
