Reviews of professor Peter Pfluger

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
One of my absolute favorite professors. The work is difficult and he grades even harder, this is definitely not a class you can blow off. However, the amount of professional development that came out of this course was awesome. One of the few classes where I felt like I actually learned something useful.

You can't miss his class even once or he lowers your grade. He doesn't scale exams, even when the entire class did not do well. Quizzes are due before class but he only ever covers one of the lectures so you have to teach yourself the rest of the material. Takes averages of quiz grades instead of highest. I genuinely wish I never took his class.

The TAs and the professor are very picky graders on individual assignments and group projects. The class load itself is manageable but the grading is extremely odd which my group members and I all agreed on. Email the professor if you miss an assignment or need help with anything. The TAs are not helpful at all and are pickier than the professor.

Discussion posts every week along with an assignment and a quiz. The tests are too terrible. You have to put effort into every discussion posts in order to get a good grade. There is a TERRIBLE international project that you have to do and apparently the international teachers have different expectations, so those students made it so difficult.

The assignments were easy but he graded so harshly. Other students felt the same way. His instructions are not clear for the group projects. For example, he took off points for something on our video presentation the first time but the second time he took off points for something completely different that he did not mention on our first video.
