Reviews of professor Peter Maniloff

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
AVOID THIS PROFESSOR!! He is awful. I am remote and his class asynchronous. He compensates with a ridiculous amount of homework and projects. It is impossible to get in contact with him and he is super unhelpful. Wish I could give this class a 0/5. Take it at a CC to save $, braincells, and your dignity.

Worst professor I have ever taken. He took over 2 and a half months to grade half of our work for this class, which there was a lot of. When you do everything on the rubric, that only nets you a C. He posts mini lectures but they were so useless that I didn't watch any after week 1. Take this class with anyone else.

The online version of this class has been frustrating. There is no lecture - purely reading (a lot) of the textbook and learning through getting questions wrong. I think this class is just being taught in the wrong way. The class is more self-taught. The proffessor seems to be distant and doesn't teach directly. Maybe he teaches better in-person?

Really great and interesting lectures. Class was more group-work focused than homework (there were only 4 HW the whole semester, two exams, and no final). The group work was really helpful for understanding material in a more hands on way. He also really seems to care about students and is very willing to help.

I did this class asynchronously, and I must say it was not the best. The few lectures he gave were not very helpful or informative. There was a lot of homework to do and lots of discussions. It is not necessarily a hard class, it is just really time consuming.
