Reviews of professor Peter Buchan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Okay. This was my worst class this semester. If you care about receiving grades and feedback, do not take this course. He is funny and kind, but not a great professor in the academic sense. I would not take this class again, and I dont think you should. Not accessible outside of class and theres some cult classic mentality around him, idk why.

I'm starting my 3rd year of classes with PJ, and I will honestly be sad to have no classes left to take with him.  He is an awesome instructor, super knowledgeable, passionate and inspiring with the topics he teaches. He is also very understanding and flexible which was great during Covid.

Im just about to start my third year with PJ and honestly, I think hes the best teacher Ive ever had, he genuinely cares about his students and takes the time to go over anything we dont quite understand, gives amazing feedback

Provided very good lectures and answered all questions when asked in class. All lectures were recorded and uploaded to UMLearn for access later in the term. However, only received grades at the very end of the term, causing lots of stress.

Best professor ever! I took Icelandic Folklore with him and have learned so much. This was the only class I never skipped. As long as you read the book and come to class, you'll discover how far you can go. The university was blessed to have someone like him join the staff.
