His behavior demonstrates clear racial prejudice. He has mocked individuals from Panama, Greenland, and Gaza. I would strongly advise against taking his course unless you subscribe to white supremacist ideologies.

Peter restored my faith in math professors here at UCSB. He is a great lecturer and is very clear and concise. He explains very well how to solve problems and has many iclickers in his class that will help prepare you for his exams. He graded his exams very slowly but they were extremely similar to his practice exams he posts on canvas.

34B was an easy class. Lectures are engaging and have good iclicker questions to learn content. Practice exams on canvas are identical to the 3 in-class midterms + final making them easy (but graded slowly). Prof Garfield is very funny and makes lectures interesting. He is also caring and offers makeup exams. I highly recommend taking his class!

Explains concepts very well and is understanding about situations outside of class. Attendance is mandatory through iClicker, but it isn't geolocated to the room. Tests are just like the practice problems posted on canvas, so if you study those, you will do well.

Has not graded any midterms or given any feedback. More than a week late to post grades, and was does not give very good lectures. Rely on self studying.

I took his class in the fall and it was really easy! Peter Garfield is very passionate and funny in lecture. He's accessible through office hours but good luck hearing back from him through email. His lectures are engaging and easy to follow along. Make sure to do all his old exams, they help a lot in doing good on the midterms and final!
