He's a nice guy, cracks some dad jokes here and there during lecture. Class is HW heavy, but he posts good slides and gives helpful resources for the tests.

Taken for Math182; This professor was very easy posted lecture notes and homework was very easy and doable. No midterms, but be prepared for weekly gradescope quizzes. Final was a group paper + Group presentation. If you want an easy A take this prof for 182!

Garfield teaches in a way that makes me understand his material less. I do not like math and he contributed even more to it. Section was actually helpful though. He uploads practice tests that are almost identical to the actual tests so shoutout to bro.

Very great teacher. I previously had Schley who couldn't teach if his life depended on it, so having Garfield teach was a relief. He explains concepts really well and makes it obvious what he expects out of his students for the exams. Homework grading is tough, and don't expect grades for exams/homework to be released quickly. I recommend taking!!!

His lectures were horrendous, but he is a silly funny guy. The practice exams were identical to the tests and he provides a notecard. Literally just write the practice questions on your notecard. Lowk a lot of hw, but he didn't geofence iclicker so you could do it from home. SO SLOW AT GRADING so be aware. I had him for 34A and 34B.

This is the best calc course ur gonna find. The practice tests are next to identicle to the actual exam, as long as u suceed on them u will do great. Lots of HW but managble bc u have unlimited tries and several are dropped. Lecture can be boring though, attendence is mandatory and for me the class was early morning.

Professor Garfield kept lectures interesting but explanation and slides of the material were very confusing and difficult to understand. Section had weekly quizzes and did better job of explaining material.

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.
