I would love to give Professor Garfield another great rating, but after this class I can't. He's a funny guy who really cares about the class but this was a disaster. As of now(after we've taken the final) we still don't have our first midterm back. The class isn't too hard and the midterms are essentially old tests with new questions but still.

If youre taking a class with Garfield, be prepared to study by yourself. He only uses slides for lecture and the only help you will be getting is from CLAS or section. Work on your practice tests and maybe youll do good. Gives too much homework, imo. Very nice and respectful, but isnt thorough with explaining the math.

Professor Garfield is a mixed bag. On one hand he is a very nice guy with a fun personality in the classroom. On the other hand, he is an extremely slow grader with very imprecise lectures that make things more confusing than they need to be. As long as you slam the practice midterms this class is an easy A but prepare to deal with his confusion.

Peter is by far one of my favorite professors! Midterms and final are exactly like the practice tests he posts online. Weekly quizzes count more towards section attendance than for a true grade. Very easy to access outside of class and loves helping students during office hours. Very passionate about what he does and a very inspirational prof.

4A was a simple, straightforward class. I took it online. I enjoyed his lectures very much, he is a funny guy and gives lots of extensions if you just ask. However, I cant say that I really remember anything from this class a year later. Essentially, youll do fine, but its difficult to get a deeper understanding of the material.

The grade was mainly based on homework/participation and he gave a quiz every week and a final. The quizzes and final were super similar to homework and even if they weren't, he taught everything you needed to know in lecture. He is literally awesome and I would definitely take his class again.

i had garfield for math 4a in fall, 6a in winter, and now 4b in spring this quarter. he's such a caring and accommodating professor. his lecture examples cover all concepts u will need for hw, and quizzes/final are all really similar to hw. if u see garfield teaching a class, take him, u wont regret it! :)

Took this course in Spring 2021. He is famous for extending hw deadlines for the whole class. The hw is manageable. The quizzes are never unexpected. There was no midterm. The final is worth 2 quizzes and he drops the lowest 2 quizzes, so if u do well in weekly quizzes u can not take the final. U can also use Mathematica in the final. Choose him.

Took this course during Winter 2021. This is my second math class with Professor Garfield. His PowerPoints are clear and straight to the point. The weekly quizzes all based on hw and lecture. There was no midterm. The final basically worth 2 or 3 quizzes. He also taught us some Mathematica codes, which is very useful. Choose him if you can.

Took this course during Fall 2020. Professor Garfield is probably the best professor you can have for this class. He is funny and caring. He splits the course into mini-lectures and homework that are completely manageable. The weekly quizzes are easy. There was no midterm. The final basically worth 2 or 3 quizzes. Choose him if you can.

This is the second class I have taken with Prof. Garfield, and he's a really nice guy. His explanation of the concepts were a little shaky, but he makes the class very easy to pass. The only big complaint I have is that he sometimes takes too long to grade the quizzes.

Peter is definitely an awesome professor. I have taken his Math 4A in the fall, Math 6A in the winter, and now am taking his Math 4B. Got two A+s for the two completed courses. He will never fail you. His grading includes 50% HW, 40% Quiz & final exam, and 10% participation of his OH and nectir posts.

Took 4B and 6B with Prof. Garfield. Short lecture with clear pdf notes. He is a nice guy and always makes jokes during lectures and office hours. Be sure to understand the concept of calculation, instead of just remember the formula, since he seems to prefer asking the definition and concepts knowledge in the exames. Good luck!

Garfield isn't the best at teaching but his classes are definitely easy to get a good grade in with a basic understanding of the material. His GS page is extremely well organized. He gave weekly quizzes, no midterm, and lectures and homework posted mon, weds, and fri of every week plus a final. Gave lots of hw extensions. Overall, great prof!

Peter is so kind and friendly, but youll have to read the textbook in order to understand the content better. His lectures are not so helpful. You can still get an A if you cant master every content.

Took him for Math 4A and 6A. He really does care about his students and the class is very organized. Gauchospace is very easy to navigate and there are 3 homeworks a week with lectures accordingly. Only downside he takes a while to grade weekly quizzes. The homework/quiz questions are a lot harder than in lecture so go to office hours or mathlab!

Took this class with him and Katy Craig as dual professors. He's a nice guy and very accessible outside of class but the discrepancy between the topics taught in class and what you are tested on is huge. The tests are just way harder than any examples done in class, the only reason most people in the class manage to pass is bc hw 40% of the grade.

Garfield teaches math in a very succinct and efficient manner. Him and his TA's have been great for all my courses, and I recommend him for everyone. He is very flexible with homework, and the grading is very generous. Take him for all your classes!

He's a really friendly and understanding guy. He pushes back HW for the class when asked and it's weekly quizzes and a final so you can mess up and not ruin your grade. The quizzes/HW are a lot harder than his lectures prepare you for though, so make sure you get help if you need it.

Garfield's lectures are very thorough and he uses good examples. He's very lenient with online, he drops your lowest homework score. Midterm and final were as difficult as expected with the content. He also provided us with a Nectir group where we could get help, he also gives participation points which you can get by asking questions so it's easy.

Peter is a really kind professor. Three lectures, three Webwork homework, and one weekly Gradescope quiz each week. Your will be graded on Nectir participation for every three/four weeks. Peter will automatically drop lots of lowest grades for homework, quizzes, and even participation points. You will have plenty opportunities to ensure A or A+.

Thou you def. get an A after taking with Peter, he extends almost every HW. Quizzes and Final are very similar to what you've got on HW. BUT, you won't learn anything from this class. Lectures are very confusing, just read your book, go to MATHLAB, go to CLAS.

Prof. Garfield is a very nice professor. He extends homework for students regularly, and his homework and quizzes are not very hard. Participation points are easy to get. He sometimes doesn't reply to email, and he only appear on nectir a few times. His lectures are fun to watch but sometimes a little unclear, and he sometimes post them late.

Mr. Garfield was incredibly supportive during COVID; he is such a nice man and was active in the big nectir groupchat with questions. While the amount of homework assignments makes the class appear super difficult, he gave an extension on every single one, so don't be too fearful. He is on your side and wants all of his students to be successful.
