Reviews of professor Charles Peak

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Peak is undoubtedly a challenging professor, but what do you expect in an engineering major? 90% of BMEN classes at TAMU require zero intuition and are insanely easy to get an A. He has a clear goal of challenging students and those who complain are too used to being handheld. His classes will prepare you well for the real world.

Dr. Peak is fine, but that is about it. He gives out lots of work; weekly homework, group quizzes, and tough in-class quizzes bi-weekly. He treats his class like you don't have 4 other courses that are just as difficult as his. His tests and quizzes go way beyond what we cover in class so prepare with the MOST difficult problems you can find.

Dr. Peak's flipped classroom is annoying and can be quite damaging to your mental health. He tends to do the minimum work and anticipates you to work on your own a lot. He is the opposite of caring. His voice is very irritating to listen to as well.

Quit whining about taking a hard class. This class is not difficult if you actually put in the effort and go to office hours if you are confused. Dr. Peak is always willing to help.

BMEN 343 lab was so rough because Dr. Peak thinks all the post-labs should take a max of 2 hours per week when really it takes upwards of 8 (for one credit hour). The rubric is very subjective to the TAs, so it's really a hit or miss. 343 lab was truly the bane of my existence because of this man.

Dr. Peak cares about his students. However, he expects way too much out you. The basics are covered in class and it is expected that you can magically do the hardest problems he can think of. The online homework he assigns is not related to anything he teaches as far as I can tell and is more of a burden than helpful. Study HARD for his tests.

Im not sure why others dislike Dr. Peak but in my experience hes a pretty good professor and the class is really easy. I found him to grade fairly and one time he even let me turn in an assignment late for less possible points but thats still rare in a prof.
