Reviews of professor Peter Mistark

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's a fantastic professor! He explains things in a way that is easy to understand, and is very patient with students even when they ask basic or repetitive questions. His lectures are easy to understand and follow, and understanding the practice problems he gives in class and in the homework is imperative in doing well on quizzes and exams.

He made mathematical mistakes every single lecture that would lead into 20 min side tracks between him and one other student. Disorganized through and through. The TAs that taught recitation were god awful, but that's not his fault.

He taught the lab so that it was clear, understandable, and very doable. He is nice and cares about the success of his students. He is new to teaching, relatively, but acts like a pro

Actually took PHYS 15a and he was absolutely incredible. Very kind grading policy (hw graded on getting a reasonable answer, final exam grade replaces midterm if better, lowest 2 quizzes and hw scores dropped, quizzes are very chill). Very available and helpful in office hours. Great at answering Qs. Recorded lectures. No attendance. Loved him.

Mistark is a fantastic professor, one of my favorites ever! He wants everybody to understand the material. He will answer any question, even if it's a question the student should know. He believes that good grades mean he is doing a good job, so exam averages are fairly high, usually A-. Take any class he teaches. He loves teaching, and it shows.

Got a 2 in AP physics back to hs but immediately understood everything if you try. I just finished the final exam n after checking the answers with the professor I'm pretty sure I have a 90% getting a A- or above. The keywords are slow pace, delicate explanation, and caring. The grading is also very kind as long as u put work n equations on paper.
