Reviews of professor Peter Sandusky

He is an ok Professor. He is very sarcastic and can be a bit harsh regarding his humor. The practice exams closely resemble the real test so do them and you will be fine ( its all multiple choice btw). The recitation sessions are key as well; Attend and you will do fine on the exam. The hw load isnt bad either. Overall, you get what you put in

I honestly never went to lecture but I did go to office hours a couple of times. This semester he didn't drop anything and the final did not replace the lowest grade if you did better than your lowest test grade. He is a chill dude and didn't take much bs when people would come in and try to fix the projector. Def do the practice exams.

Graded this semester based on percentages, and didn't tell us until after final grades were posted. I got a 94, so I expected an A, however only the top 10% of the class received an A (96% and up). He didn't even modify grades with + or -, so anything below a 96% was a B.

Good professor! Do practice exams and attend review sessions by TA. Exams are almost identical to practice exams so make sure you know them!

Did not tell class final grades are based on how others in class do. One semester a 91 is an A then the next a 92 isn't an A (my friend had him last semester)! Top 10% (27 people per 300) get A's the rest (most) get B's, C's etc. No +/- grades. Did not tell us until an email AFTER the semester ended. Each question on exam worth 1% of final grade.

He posts the lecture problems and powerpoints online for you, and he also posts practice tests the week or two before. DO THEM! If you do the practice exams and understand them the tests are almost exactly the same with different numbers or elements. Also gives opportunities for extra credit.

Dr. Sandusky is the worst teacher Ive ever came across. He does not explain anything he is saying, writes down these "calculations" with no explanation, and provides terrible powerpoint. Its been half a semester with this guy and I am yet to understand anything that he's taught. Whatever you do, do not take this class with this guy.

Sandusky is a nice professor to have for 101. His final was just a regular exam and all of his practice exams look very similar to the real exams. He wants his students to do well. If you put in the time and do the practice exams a few times, you will do well. (He never asks conceptual questions so all you have to focus on is solving problems)

Dr. Sandusky was an excellent professor. Four in class exams and a final. Weekly online homework, too. He gives out a practice exam before each exam which closely mirrors the actual exam. He likes to get to know his students often, so attend office hours often. His lectures were excellent. He is very approachable and I highly recommend him.
