Wrost prof ever. Don't take his class.

poor prof!!!

Fear him if you intend to learn by rote, for he teaches on a more conceptual level. Really don't know what he's talking about and communicates some of the profundity of the subject. Usually not patient with questions. Bad prof.

no Comments.

Avoid this Set Theory class at all costs. It is not required for any of the degrees at the Univesity. It is incredibly hard to understand; Definitely a class where any amount of extra studying will NOT help you any. The course description is horrid.

He was unable to provide any guidlines for what he was looking for in our papers. He is by far the worset prof I have ever had!!!!!! He flat out insulted and challenged students competence. He has no ablity to say what he means, and comes across calling the student an imbicle. He is the most anil prof imaginable

Online course, but he provides a very useless e-book!!

DONT choose this prof ever!!!!! He is not able teach this lecture clearly. His sample quiz is exactly different from the actual exam. His notes are useless! In his class, some quizes average were below 50%.

His lecture is boring; a 90mins lecture feel like a century. He can't explain concepts clearly. But he has provided us a ebook which is free. However, the author of the book is probably himself and it is extremely similar to the notes provided( which is not helpful).

AVOID this prof if its possible! So hard to understand his lecture. He blames on the students for low average on the inclass quiz but he never thought about the difficulty between the sample and the real quiz is HUGE.

This class was really hard. His inclass quizzes were exponentially harder than his sample quizzes. His notes are nice, but what he taught and what he tested you were two completely different materials. The webassign assignments were WAY more helpful than his class notes. But he has nice writing, just really hard tests.

in a word, if possible, avoid him.

Worst math professor I have ever seen. Poor lectures which have nothing to do with the text book; hard tests, during the quiz 2 90% of students failed and he blamed students for the fail; he is really impaitent to answer the questions. I compared the final practice with other math classes, and his test is the hardest. plz try to avoid him

Terrible professor. Assignments are very difficult compared to other lecture sections, as are exams and his inconsistently assigned online quizzes. Not helpful during office hours, online text is very vague, textbook is completely useless. Schedules exam before the university's help session deliberately. Requires you to stay until end of exams.

Assignments were nearly impossible to complete, I talked to many math scholars and most of them were unsure as to what he was asking. He is a sweet little old man and I couldnt help but love him as a person, but I strongly recommend avoiding taking Math 125 with him if at all possible.

Beyond awful. I love Calculus, but he killed my interest in it. He refused to hold himself accountable, instead blaming the students for his bad teaching, resulting in bad quiz marks. His lecturesnotes were very poor, confusing and contained pointless material. Reading the textbook taught me more than his lectures ever did. Avoid him at all costs.

Terrible prof. Brutal assignments, tests are impossible. Lectures don't make sense, waaay too abstract to understand. No help in office hours. Get another prof if at all possible

BRUTAL class. Rude prof. Avoid, especially if you haven't taken linear algebra because he will do all this stuff with matrices and you'll be lost.

Frusterating and confusing prof. Even 24 days after the final we still don't have our marks back. Try to avoid him if at all possible.

AVOID THIS PROF! He was very rude both in class and during office hours asked a question in class, was met with sarcastic remarks. Asked questions in office hours, he refused to answer them. Blamed students for his poor teaching people who had taken linear alg before could not help me because his notes and questions were so unclear textbook useless

He'll teach a lot of things based on linear algebra. If you haven't taken linear algebra you'll be lost. I suggest attending class for the sequences and series part. After that, if you haven't taken linear algebra, skip class and read the book. It'll make WAY more sense. Also, be prepared for extremely difficult exams.

long lecture with nothing will be tested in the exam, with a class average like 53 percentage and said you should take the response, never met an awful prof like him, take other option if you could

Only take 214 from him if you absolutely HAVE to. Averages are consistently low, you MUST do ALL the practice from the textbook to be prepared for the quizzes. In class I found he spent so much time explaining all this theory (lots not even relevant to the course) that we didn't do many examples.

I don't even know where to begin. Every problem with this man comes back to his genuine disrespect for students; from the manner in which material is presented (different across textbook, online, tests) to the time it took to grade exams there was not an ounce of respect. I'd rather defecate in my hands and clap then be in the same room as him.

the worst professor ever. Too hard assignment which generally take 6 hours. preposterous exams. abstract explanation. even yelled at students because students didn't understand him and answer on his question. scream during the class "what do you want me to do?? " grades are very very tough. totally waste of time. never ever take this class.

At first I felt sorry for all the poor reviews this prof was getting. After I thought about it for a while, I realize that he deserves every one of them. Never have I been so stressed out in my life. I think the marks definitely got scaled at the end, but throughout the course there is a lot of uncertainty as to where your mark stands.

Tough marker. Your assignments must be the SAME as standard solution he posted, or you lose mark.

Linear Algebra was a hard subect to begin with, especially with a prof that doesn't explain well at all. Also when I try to ask him for help during his office hours, he always feel annoyed when I ask him and he just tells me that we learned it in class, do it like how we did it in class. Like, if I KNEW how to do it, I won't be asking you for help.

Extremely hard final exam!!!

I learned a lot about cross products and diaper surfaces.

He has to be one of the worst profs in UofA. Dont get me wrong, he knows a lot. But the man doesnt know how to teach. He pays more attention to theory rather than explanation. Our class had an average of 1.8, so i hope that says a lot. Do yourself a favor and RUN.

Don't take it

very hard don't take it

it is very hard and the marking system always get mistake. and it is very hard to go through his lecture since he always use very complicated words in his sentences. such a nightmare. just do not take his class

the professor makes this course awful. very stressful. never done his lecture on time. never gives practice problem with solution. if you ask a question makes you feel stupid. do not take classes with him. the homework are very hard to do. the quiz online are horrible.

This class was horrible and made me question why I chose to major in Math. The quizzes were awful, only consisting of 2 questions without part marks (so you are bound to fail if you mess one thing up). Every time anyone asked a question he would let out a big huff as if he was mad that you didn't understand. Overall, don't do Peschke.

Just avoid his class. It took away my interest in Mathematics. He teaches very vaguely, gives out extremely difficult quizzes and assignments. 60% final. He went against his own word and he unconsolidated the class sections. He posts practice without solutions. He caused a lot of stress for many students. He is smart, but lacks compassion.

A 60% final is ridiculous. And decides not to post solution, not even final answers, to the practice exam, which is meant for PRACTICE. Rude to whoever asks questions in lecture or forum. Like others said, avoid at all cost.

he is the worst professor I have ever had. Never post solution to every practice problems, and very rude to student who ask him question or ask him to post solution on the eclass. Always have mistakes on the marking system. The quiz and also homework are very hard to do. don't take his class!!!!!

Arrogant, confrontational and overwhelmingly narcissistic. Rude to students on forums, refuses to provide solutions to practice exams etc ... all of this on top of the fact that this course is an absolute nightmare. The structure of the course was made up as we went and lacked cohesion. Never take any course with him unless it is your only option.

George was a condescending, disrespectful, arrogant professor. He literally only teaches theory. He may go over an example in class at most once a week. The course structure was atrocious and could definitely have been organized better. Don't bother asking for solutions to practice questions either, apparently it's not good to have solutions.

Don't take it, you will be regret for selecting his class, i am nearly get into depression because of his classes... homework and quiz are too difficult, and the concept he taught on the lecture are too abstract. If i am you, i will not consider his classes for sure.

I dont really like to rate professors but george is definetly not a good choice. Final consist of only 6 questions but weights 60%. besides he decided somehow split an 2 hour final into 3 parts and we have to set up proctoring 3 times. his exams are not hard but he is not a good prof.

His way of lecturing is not good at all. Decent person, but talks in a volume that is hard to hear, as if he is talking to himself. This course is one of the most difficult courses in First Year Engineering, take him at your own risk.

Made me lose my interest in math altogether. His videos are only him copy/pasting the theorems straight from the textbook with little explanation. In zoom, he does 2 examples that don't correlate to the homework. Quizzes & written hw / week. Very rude, can't ask him questions without expecting attitude back. I have proof too. Final is worth 60%.

Do not take his class, 60% final is ridiculous. I worked my butt off the entire semester but I messed up on the final and I received a terrible grade. Personally, not a big fan of him, never gonna be in his class ever again

Very good instructor and clearly knows what he is talking about, but incredibly unapproachable. Unable to change his teaching style to accommodate flip-flopping online and in-person classes, and unwilling to take student feedback or suggestions. Dr. Peschke is clearly intelligent, but he is condescending to the point it isn't worth asking for help.

The Worst Math Prof EVER

Professor George is very funny because other MATH214 professors decide to separate their class contents from his. Because his class is useless and the hardest ever. He should take care of Honor math students rather than torturing normal us. He gave easiest lecture materials reviews and crazy exams; he also decides to boom up difficulty after mid

The course is fine but the biggest issue is that Peschke's notes use a textbook that uses terminology that is different from any other calculus textbook or resource I've read. For example, In class, we must call the divergence of a series "convergence to infinity".

In simple words. Avoid him. Basically reads notes in the class, and doesn't provide enough practice material. Expects you to write every step in a long answer while his solutions in class are very short. Is a very tough grader, cuts marks in almost every small mistake. Prepare to teach yourself.

I wish I should have decided not to take his class based on the ratings on ratemyprof. Trust the ratings and avoid him. His classes are monotonous, and his notes are abstract. Your assignment solutions should be the same as his standard solutions or you lose marks. Your exam should be "over" detailed or you again lose marks. In short, TOUGH grader.

Had a terrible experience, it seems like he doesn't care about his students.
