Reviews of professor Peter Oshkai

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Peter Oshkai wrote notes and equations on his tablet during each class and then posted handwriting notes on the CourseSpaces. This particular course was not too challenging, but I would prefer typed notes because sometimes handwritings were hard to read and understand.

made lecture notes by copying out of the textbook that we all had. One of the 2 midterm questions was based on a different course. During the COVID shutdown he didnt put any effort into teaching online as he just posted his lecture notes.

Peter is knowledgeable about the course material and he makes the relatively abstract concepts more accessible, although there are sometimes mistakes in lecture notes which can be frustrating. Lectures can be a bit dry. The majority of your marks are the assignments which can often exceed 20-30 pages (not including equation derivations and coding)

Dr. Oshkai can summarize topics quite well and follows the book well, and his lectures are interesting. He doesn't create the assessments and so there is some discontinuity with the material taught and what we are being tested on. The book provided and external practice questions are your friend as there are none provided. Attend all Tutorials.

His lectures online have been extremely vague, only going into detail when considering exact scenarios. The quizzes so far have been basically 'understand the formula sheet and hope to do okay' meanwhile the lecture content is either super generic, basic thermodynamics knowledge or extreme detail into a system that is not relevant to the quizzes.

I really liked Dr. Oshkai's class. This class makes you think about the fundamentals of CFD. The assignments are long but rewarding. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Overall, a kind and great guy!
