Reviews of professor David Peterson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Well-structured and to the point lectures from which you can glean a lot. Professional. Knows that PAHL is a gen ed (2 exams, easy assignments, easy grader). If you put 4 real hrs/wk into his class, you should do more than fine.

Dr. Peterson literally helped me so much and made sure I understood the content for our class.

If you're gonna take PACL/PAHL, you want Dr. Peterson. He knows it's a gen-ed, so he makes it abundantly clear what you need to do to get an A. At the same time, he gives you all the information you actually want about how to eat and exercise well. He is also a caring guy who is happy to help however he can. Take PAHL with Dr. Peterson.

Dr. Peterson takes what many students consider a boring subject and makes it interesting. He does his best to make an unenthusiastic class learn concepts that will help them lead better lives. He is a light grader but encourages you to do your best on assignments. He was even willing to meet with me outside class to teach deadlifts, squats, etc.

Prof. Peterson is a wonderful Professor who knows full well that PAHL (PACL) is a gen-ed, and tries to make the class as interesting as possible. He fully prepares his students for exams and grades fairly. He had days for going down to the gym to work out, and a day for working on an assignment in class. Don't take PACL unless it's with Peterson.

Dr. Peterson is the best teacher to take PAHL with! He makes boring material seem interesting. He is a super sweet guy and wants his students to learn but doesn't assign much homework. Take a few notes in class and you'll do fine on exams. He is super knowledgeable, funny, and has some great stories. His wife bakes cookies on exam days.
