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.

Peter isn't the best lecturer, but his lecture slides are AMAZING. Downloading his lecture slides and working through them independently in lecture was the best method for learning the concepts. Tests are super easy, they're just like the practice tests. Peter is SUPER accessible outside of class. It's an easy A, as long as you put in the work.

There were 23 homework assignments this quarter (2-3 a week) worth 12 and he drops the 3 lowest- homework is frequent but doable. He is SO slow at getting exam grades in! The final is over and we are still waiting for our last midterm scores to be released. Disappointing!! Overall easy A though, exams are just like the practice exams he posts.

Good at lecturing, and when I went I understood the concepts pretty well, but on the quizzes/final he clearly wanted you to actually think because there were always a few curveballs. Go to lectures and its not hard to pass, attendance is "mandatory" and he uses iClicker w/o the geolocation so you can check in from anywhere. Section is mandatory.

I already knew calc 1 before this class, but if you've never taken it before I think you would have a hard-ish time. He is an okay lecturer, better than most of the math department here, but you will probably still have to self teach. Weekly homework, 10 problems. No calculator exams, so they're pretty easy. Know the concepts and how to do stuff.

Professor Garfield is a good professor and his practice midterms were always really similar to the actual exams and helped a lot. His lectures are fine and he explains things well. Homework was a massive pain though and can take a lot of time, problems on hw are significantly harder than anything you will see on the exam.

A better lecturer than other math professors I've had and usually I wasn't too lost. Webwork homework could be frustrating but was helpful. There were weekly quizzes instead of a midterm, and they alternated between in-person and online. Biggest complaint was that he took forever to grade them.
