Reviews of professor Peter Persans

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Persans is a really knowledgeable person. He likes telling jokes and stories. 
His tests are a bit more creative and harder compared to other profs'. However, he is usually very generous and gives out many partial credits.
A really helpful and accessible professor!
One quote I like about him is: "if a student has a problem, I will answer it."

Professor Persans has been really understanding to students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of my peers and I have had other professors not be as understanding in the slightest. Persans listens to feedback and takes it seriously. That is very appreciated right now. You can tell he wishes he could teach us in person, but right now such is life.

Out of every professor on campus, I respect Persans the most. When you talk to him, it makes it seem like his purpose in life is to help you understand physics. He is incredibly devoted, hilarious, and a rigorous but generous grader. Anything you could ever want in a Physics professor. Your experience at RPI is incomplete without a class from him.

Physics 1 and 2 at RPI sucks and the students needs to teach themselves 80% of the material. Despite this, Persans is a great lecturer and witty professor, he's the best physics professor I've taken a class with so far.
