Professor Peter is a GEM. Adore this man to bits, he is so fun in lectures and makes the class so passable. I am okay at math and this was not a struggle, a good pick for those avoiding the 2/3 series! Will miss this class dearly, what a good time!

Peter is such a cool and funny professor. go to his office hours for candy. this class was so easy and not much effort had to be put in

peter's a literal gem. he interacts with his students during class and uses iclicker (enforces mandatory attendance) to ensure that students understand the material. if you get at least a C in his class, he rounds it up to a B! homework is not that bad, as most answers are in the book. 12 questions due at 8am before every class, takes not even 1 hr

I took Peter for Math 34A, and am now in his 34B class. Peter is a nice guy, and he cares about his students. Unfortunately, the 34 calculus series is difficult, all over the place and can be confusing, none of which is Peter's fault, he does his best to help students. His main downfall is he rarely responds to emails, or he takes forever.

Peter is an awesome professor!! Would definitely recommend to take him if you can for math 34A/B. He is very clear in his lectures and makes sure to slow down and answer any questions the class may have. His practice exams are extremely helpful. He is very kind and funny in lectures, which makes the overall class very fun!! Amazing professor!!

Peter Garfield is MY HERO! I have always struggled with math but he changed that. He takes the time in class to explain concepts and uses the iclicker to gauge what students don't understand, going over these topics. He gives you amazing study guides that ensure you will ace the 3 midterms/1final, if you study and understand the material. TAKE HIM!

Super sweet and genuinely wants his students to do well. Class is graded off 3 midterms and a final and then a homework/attendance grade. Theres homework due usually 2-3 times a week but its usually pretty easy and doesn't take too much time.

Prof Garfield is seriously great. I've never done well in math, but this class? If you go to lecture, do the homework, and take advantage of the example midterms/final he provides you will do fine. Office hours are great too, if you take Prof Garfield I 100% recommend you go at least twice. The extra help is great and really can boost your score!

I loved having Peter as a professor!! He really does his best to make sure that your able to get the best grade possible.

Everytime I go to lecture he always tries to get to know people. He really cares about his students, and I think he explains things very well. He always keeps tabs during lecture on how people are grasping the material through iClicker questions. Overall, go to class, if you don't, you probably will fall behind if you're not that great at math.

He tries to keep the class interesting but speeds through a lot of topics. Definitely don't buy the book and it helped me a lot to do CLAS for it. You get a notecard on all three midterms and the final which is helpful

The tests are heavily weighted. Material is stupid easy. It's pre-calc until the 7th week when we do basic derivatives and stuff. I would recommend this class for the easy A. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS. He's the nicest person ever and always extends office hours. The reason I got an A+ was b/c of office hours.

Peter is very friendly and easy to talk to! His lectures can be very confusing and fast paced. I recommend going to CLAS! There are three midterms and a finalyou can use a flashcard. Overall, the class is not too difficult but there's not really a way of knowing your overall grade since nothing is posted, so beware of that!!

Homework answers can all be found on Google or in the back of the textbook. He is very accessible outside of class and willing to help you with homework problems via email. Slides are detailed and well-prepared before class. Do the practice exams posted before the midterms/final and you should be fine. Allows a 3x5 notecard on all 3 midterms.

Peter is nice and seems to try hard to get students interested in the material, but he is not a good teacher. He doesn't teach, just just has problems on the screen for students to do and then goes on with his slides. Would not recommend as an intro to calc prof. Be ready to have to teach yourself the material!

Never taken any calculus in my life and this class was very doable. Didn't take much effort and he does good job interacting with the class and keeping lectures interesting.

Great math professor. Makes great conversation as well as a great/honest lecturer. There is homework (obviously its math) and 2 midterms. Everything you need is in the lectures. TAs are very helpful as well. Overall a really great class.

Professor Garfield was very nice and he did a good job at teaching. He does iClicker it pays off in the end if you go to almost all lectures because if he notices good effort (just good attendance and do all HW) he boosts any grade from C-B- to a B. Didn't go to class last 3 weeks and still passed final with a B, all tests are like practice exams

Very good lectures, also posted online if you can't make it. Tests are not very hard. Very friendly and funny guy.

Peter was one of the best math professors I've ever had. He is fully aware that most of his students won't need to know calculus for their majors. Tests are exactly like the practice exams and he post at least 3 practice exams each test. Notecards allowed for every test even the final. gives in class reviews.

The grading criteria for the class was clear, midterms are exactly like the practice midterms uploaded. Taught in a way that was useful for me to understand.

3 midterms + a final, but old versions are given out and they're very similar to the exams. HW due before each lecture (3x a week), which is excessive. Final worth as much as all 3 midterms put together (35%). HW and section worksheets not relevant to actual exam material. Garfield is sometimes bad at explaining, but he's nice. Very doable class.

Made calculus very easy to understand. Homework was pretty straight forward & lectures were manageable. Only complaint was that our 3rd midterm grade wasn't released until after we took our final.

Peter is super kind and accessible outside of class. He has office hours 5 days a week (in person and zoom) which were super helpful for doing the harder homework problems. Sometimes he could break examples down a little better in lecture but for the most part he did a good job lecturing. Also his practice exams are SO HELPFUL! Overall an easy A.
