Reviews of professor Jeffrey Peters

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Peters is laid-back and passionate about biology, especially genetics and birds. Especially birds. Ducks, specifically. Even so, every class with him is enjoyable and he is always willing to talk to you about careers in biology in general, as well as research and applying to grad school. Exams are tough but very fair based on class material.

definitely not your guy if you are an underclassmen or not a science major. seems like a very nice dude as a person, but has probably never taken an education class. very smart in his field, but to be honest, when it comes to his teaching skills, I would rather take a bio class from a literal avocado. genuinely thought about dropping out bc of this

Peters is an adequate and knowledgeable instructor, however, he is much more of an instructor than a professor. He has very strict expectations, especially for an entry level course, and makes very few concessions for pupils' personal lives. That being said he does provide good information thay will help you pass a difficult course.

Dr. Peters teaching is style is not very engaging. Lectures were dry and mostly involved him reading straight from power points that he posted online after every class. It's not too bad if you don't mind quite a bit of teaching yourself. He obviously really enjoys the subject and provides all the information and resources you need to pass.

Due to COVID, this course had to be taken online, and the professor was clearly unprepared and not ready for an online course. There was little to no explanation, and the exams were extremely difficult. We were only given the textbook and the professors prerecorded lectures, so it was hard to know the material and questions weren't answered.

He posted lecture videos online explaining the material & responded to emails quickly if you had questions. There were 4 exams that were hard but if you studied the lecture powerpoints & did practice tests they werent that bad. He drops your lowest exam score if you take the optional final so that helps a lot. Overall, he's a pretty good teacher
