Reviews of professor Peter Humphries

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Unpopular opinion, but his Math231/Differential class was difficult compared to the others. I think the other reviewers failed to mention the average for exams is 70, which is well below the average for the other professors. He is nice and caring, so if you care about how you feel in the class over your grade, you should consider him.

Excellent at giving lectures. Explains concepts extremely indepth. Will make sure he communicates to you if you have a question or problem.

While Professor Humphries does not require you to attend lectures, his lectures are formatted in a great way and as long as you pay attention, you'll find that he explains each topic very thoroughly. Unfortunately, his tests are weighted very heavily, so you should take advantage of review materials and previous homework assignments.

If you want to learn calculus, take his class. 

Dr. Humphries is the clearest and most thorough math teacher I have ever had. If you are confused, he is remarkably patient in explaining. He deeply cares about his students and is happy to help however possible. 

This is the hardest class I have taken, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.

By far the best math teacher I've ever had. His lectures are very clear. The tests require a higher level of reasoning than the homework, which catches a lot of students off guard. A textbook is provided, but not mandatory. If you want to study for this class I hear the textbook problems are great.

Dr. Humphries is the best professor at UTK for mathematics, but his class is very difficult and it is not an easy way to earn one of your honors class requirements. Only two or three people will get an A in one class, and unless you are a math major, the hit to your GPA is not worth it. He is extremely helpful though, and a great guy.

Dr. Humphries is a fantastic math teacher. His lectures are always super informative, which is a testament to his teaching ability. He is always willing to help out and explain difficult concepts when needed. His tests are super difficult and you must know the content in and out if you want to pass, but the homework and quiz grades help soften it.

Dr. Humphries is an awesome professor! He is amazing at explaining concepts and answering questions and he really just makes sure that you understand the content he is teaching. He is very straight forward with what he wants and expects which was really nice. I would definitely recommend taking him!!
