The class in of itself is easy, the practice exams are almost EXACTLY like the actual test with a few curveball steps he doesn't mention (though if you show work and get it semi/ mostly wrong you'll still get a good grade). Honestly felt scared because I didn't take calc or even pre-calc in highschool but you'll be fine, enroll in CLAS groups.

Super easy class grading-wise, but if you don't learn super duper fast, you'll have to do a good amount of work outside of class. He moves super fast sometimes, and the homework isn't always the most straightforward. But the midterms don't impact your grade too much, and he'll raise a C to a B if you show effort by attending lectures and sections.

Extremely understanding and caring Professor. Exams are exactly the same as practice tests, just with different numbers, basically. Weekly quizzes in sections with 1 easy question (if you know what's going on). I averaged an 87% on all of the exams and 90% on the quizzes, and I got an A-. IClicker didn't have geo-location on.

Before going into this class I took AP Calculus in high school and that definitely helped me a lot. Peter is a caring person and wants to be there for his students, he is just not the best teacher and makes concepts a lot more complicated than they actually are. Putting in the effort he guarantees a B and gives 4 practice tests for study material

Great guy, easy class, free A, take the class

Garfield is a great professor - caring and passionate. However, he grades your exams really late. But he makes his lectures clear and fun. He lets you use a notecard for each exam, which is really helpful and guarantees a passing grade for each exam and the class in general. Would definitely take his class again!

Really nice guy, makes it easy to pass the class. Slow grader so beware. I didn't find his lectures very helpful but he posts all his slides so just be prepared to learn the material outside of class. Do the practice exams to prepare for tests and you'll be fine!

Engaging lectures by a charismatic and funny man. Seems like a really nice guy. Practice exams are practically identical to the midterms/final. Pay some attention in lecture/section and you'll be fine.

Peter is an alright teacher. He is not the best at teaching material in my opinion but his sections really help out. The classes is like 60% test. He gives note cards on the test and practice exams that are almost exactly like the real test.

For having to teach around 700 students, I think Garfield did a great job. He made the content very understandable

Peter is a nice guy, good prof. Attendance (iclicker), daily hw set, weekly quiz in section (10pts), 3 midterms, and a final. Sometimes the hw problems were so different than the ones we did during lecture. Front/back of notecard allowed on midterms and final. Peter mostly reads off slides, but I still feel like actually going to class helped.

peter is a nice, sweet guy but a pretty average professor. he just reads off the slides and homework is kinda frustrating, but the practice exams and notecards came in clutch for midterms. super slow grader so you don't really know your grade
