Reviews of professor Peter Williams

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
normally unprepared and has a lot of attitude, not very understanding and gives a lot of busy work, not very flexible, or kind. Rushes through lectures because he has a fetish with time. I took this again because my last professor was an ass but he's almost worse. Uses questions from the internet doesn't even bother to write his own q's.

Y'all gotta get to know him, he's pretty cool. Was a baller back in his day.

Absolutely do not even consider this class. Find a different professor teach you this class. This guy is terrible and doesn't even know the material himself. You have been warned.

Professor Williams is a cool dude but he provides a lot of lecture that ends up overcomplicating the material. He doesn't provide a lot of exams but go to class if you want to understand any content being taught.

PW is one of the worst professors I've ever had. He speeds through lectures and I remember struggling during his lecture over matrices. While he does review hw, he has an awful habit of not finishing the review, mind you, these questions are hw problems the class votes for an explanation, and he doesn't even finish them.

Not at all accessible outside of class. Offers office hours immediately after class at a largely inaccessible time. He would also often make a bunch of small arithmetic mistakes and would sometimes make major mistakes on the key concepts we were learning and double back days later.

He is terrible at responding to students, doesnt stick to his syllabus and is a horrible grader. Not a very good teacher to have at an entry level math class.

Avoid this class at all costs. Explanations are absolutely aimless, he takes the hardest routes to every mathematic destination. You will have to teach yourself most of the material. Impossible grader, standard for your homework is completely unattainable. 1 small mistake such as a +- mix up in a 2 hour homework will mark you down and affect grade.

Peter was an okay teacher. I had him for finite math, which in general isn't a course that people generally like or find easy regardless of their professor. Peter seemed to be the better of the finite professors at UP, and while he's pretty easy and laid back he teaches so quickly so you need to pay attention and he sucks at replying to emails.

Prof. Williams was a great math professor. While he was difficult to reach outside of class, the lectures and class structure were very straight forward. Homework is assigned every night and counts for a large part of your grade, but answers are given in class and review sessions are held prior to any quizzes or tests. Pretty standard math class.
