Reviews of professor Peter Samuelson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Nice guy with good lectures and okay tests. You definitely have to study and pay attention to do good on tests. You can tell he cares about not making mistakes and you learning properly.

Boring lecturer but a nice guy. He gives really good curves if people are doing well or not. He also makes the test very similar to the practice, except during the finals. He also responds well to emails so you can ask him outside of class. He also gives very little webwork homework. Overall, it was a really chill professor! He is the GOAT!

Very nice, but not a good teacher. Basically had to self teach myself all the concepts. His lectures are very boring and confusing, but he is willing to make time outside of class to help. If you're good at math and are willing to put in work outside of class, then this is the perfect professor. Otherwise, if you're not good at math, maybe another.

Taken Sp'21. Skim the textbook, GO TO LECTURES (lecture ex's are almost always on written hw & tested on) and attend Disc. (ASK Q's!) and it will be hard NOT to pass. Do the weekly written homework early so you can ask good Q's in disc. Samuelson is the best math prof I've taken at UCR. Always smiling, enthusiastic, and passionate.

9B w/ this professor will be easy if you have knowledge from AP calc AB. 1 midterm 1 final. the practice exams that he posts are helpful. voice is lowkey kinda boring so I always fell asleep in his class but if u ask him questions he will explain it well. homework is MUCH harder than what is tested or quizzed. get notes from friend if u skip class!

He is very considerate and helpful. I got sick and couldn't take the final on the day it was supposed to be taken and he was willing to be flexible and allowed me to take it a different day. Lectures are a little boring but the exams are very similar to the practice ones he gives, so study them. Curve is big and saves your grade tbh.

His homework problems are harder than the problems he does in lecture. I had to rely on khan academy because his explanations are confusing.

I am not kidding when I say this, he is one of the best professors there is. He is highly relatable to students (at least to me) and you will more than likely love him. His lectures are kinda boring, but they are concise and useful. Go to lecture. Ask questions. Be there. Do the work. You will get an A. There is not controversy. He curves very well

Decent professor, cares about his students. Exam questions are very similar to his practice questions and homework.
