Reviews of professor Peter Doas

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Doas is clearly very passionate about his work. He does seem to get off topic quite a bit and because of that, some chapters are needed to be done individually. He is definitely a "chihuahua," as he so frequently tells us. Overall, he is a good teacher, but personally, not the best for my learning style.

You can study endlessly and never pass an exam (proctored). I got As on every assignment but Fs on the exams. He asks you to purchase an additional textbook ($90) and explains he gets the test questions from there. He replies to all of your emails with a copy of the syllabus. This class drained my motivation and tanked my GPA- 20 classes-only B.

His lectures are very informative and enjoyable. His tests are online however he knows if you cheat if you open another window, so don't do that. They are also timed. Two students were dumb enough to turn in similar papers and I believe he dropped them from the course. He uses "vericite" for plagiarism. He's a very "no nonsense" professor.

He's very passionate about his work and he loves to tell stories that he somehow relates to what we're talking about. The quizzes you can use your notes on, in class, and he provides the PowerPoint online that you can print and recordings. But, you can't use any technology. No extra credit

He has a dry sense of humor and calls people out in class for questions, but it's all in good fun and I liked the class. I'll probably take more of his classes. He won't allow laptops and loves pop quizzes, but if you print the PowerPoints 9 per page you can use those during the quizzes and you will pass. Don't be intimidated at first, he's nice.

Professor Doas opens everything on day one. Everything online and you have to pace yourself and complete work by the due dates. Many different types of assignments make it interesting. I liked the video quizzes and discussions they made the class interesting.

Professor Doas is clear with everything. He also opens everything at the start of the semester so that you can have time to pace your work but you must complete it by the required day. This gave me weeks and months to complete the work. Responds very fast to any questions and emails.

Opens everything early to be able to complete work.  Clear course requirements and fair grader.

My experience in his class has not been good. He gets off topic very easily. I had to teach a lot of the material to myself because instead of telling us what it's about, he tries to use an example from his personal life that distracts everyone, including himself, from class time.

Doas is heavy with content but makes it fun in the classroom. Connects class material things happening on a daily basis. You do have to study and do the work. Puzzles are a must.
