Reviews of professor Peter Smith

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
First of all I don't know if I'm passing or failing , that's the first red flag. He lectures the entire class and he is extremely boring. His handwriting sucks, finals is around the corner and what he decides to do? Teach probability which other teachers are not teaching. If you want a quiz and a test in the same week take him.

He's just not a good professor. Pretty awful at explaining the content and included content that all the other MA105 classes didn't have to do. Long and boring lectures. Made what I thought was gonna be an easy A, an actually somewhat challenging class. Don't take him.

Great Instructor. He enables you to think on your own and offer your opinion. Weekly quizzes, so pay attention to his lecture because when the book gives you a different answer, go off his lecture notes. Final paper is 4-6 pages in length. Great instructor and highly recommended.

Do not bother with this guy. He is not a good professor at all. Stick to someone else.

Professor Smith is a good professor for students who can teach themselves. He drops the lowest quiz grade and if you 4.0 the class you do not have to take the final. I would not recommend him for those who struggle in math as the class is very boring and you will struggle.

Nice guy, but his handwriting is not the best and his teaching style is better suited for students who can self teach or have previous knowledge of calc. Other professors give students hand out sheets or power points, but he only teaches off the board and doesn't post the notes online. Straight forward class, as long as you study you're fine.

I honestly disagree with how low he is rated. Overall, super sweet guy, but gets a bit confused about some content. He sometimes makes mistakes, but is open to being corrected, so just double check his grading. His lectures are straightforward (sometimes boring) and easy to understand. If you do the HW, you'll do well on his exams.

Peter's a good guy, but doesn't have the extreme passion for teaching that other professors do here. Cengage HW can be ridiculous, throws a boomerang on every test. I feel like an 100-level math foundations course shouldn't be as difficult as this one is, but regardless he gets the job done and you should get at least a 3.7 if you study/practice.

The class is easy and he is a good grader. His lectures are boring, and he makes tiny mistakes on the board sometimes, but you WILL NOTICE THE MISTAKES. He goes kind of fast but his class is easy and his lectures are very straight forward. He does lots of examples in class which makes the homework easy.

His glasses are nice, but besides that, he is not nice
