HE IS THE LAZIEST WORST TEACHER IN THE HISTORY OF MATH. DIDN'T DO A THING THE WHOLE SEMESTER AND USED THE HARDEST PROBLEMS ON TEST AND HOMEWORK.

I agree with the fist vote. Makes no effort to help students understand difficult information. Doesn't reply to e-mails in a timely manner. Came to class and spent 20 min trying to learn how to use his calculator.

Take a class from this guy and all your insomnia poblems will go away. Most boring professor ever. I've known more interesting lamppposts.

Hard to follow. Not clear on a lot of topics. He wasn't in office during office hours. Not helpful when struggling. That is all I have to say about that.

UGH! The worst math professor ever. I'm quite proficient in math but he makes it so hard and complicated. It's difficult to understand what he is asking his students to know and understand. He was not helpful at all when a student had a question!

Never take this class. I'm a person who always did really well in math and this man made it so extremely confusing. It was ridiculous. You have 4 exams and one final plus quizzes every Friday. I pretty much had to teach myself to prepare for these tests.

Worst professor ever...Stay as far away as possible.

I never had a teacher so picky with their grading. It was difficult to complete a homework problem with the right answer and work shown, but still get half credit. He is way out there with his teaching. He knows the material but just can't teach it very well. He did seem a little more fair on the tests though. Overall, I don't recommend him.

This professor refused to return my emails or phone calls when I had questions about the assignments. (I was taking online.) I called up to the night before the first test with no return call. Finally I gave up and tried the test. I failed. I withdrew from the class and ate the withdraw fee but it was better than continuing on.

This professor is a stange duck. He teaches like a computer. He just ramples off stuff, but does not try to help you understand it. This class made my life a living hell and the first grade I got lower then an A in 4 years. Stay far away from this class!!! I had only wish I had known about this site prior to fall of 08.

worst professor i've had! didn't care if students understood material or not. never explained things clearly. waste of time and money since i have to retake class. i asked if he would allow me to withdraw because i was failing, and he told me i should have studied harder even though i went to tutors, emailed for help, etc... don't take him!!!

I wish hard work was all it took with Dr. Peters. He is a mathematician, not a teacher. He is not capable of bringing down to a teachable level or even a different approach.If you are a mathematician you will be fine, if not, I would try someone else.

He is so confusing!!!! You try to ask him questions and he just makes you more confused; he talks to you like your retarded if you don't understand it.

Worst math teacher I have had. Quizzes every Friday, and he picks the hardest problem he came find to quiz you on. Doesn't test your understanding of concepts but whether you can solve ridiculous problems. Take it from someone else, calculus is not this hard.

Horrible! Didn't let us know until after the class started that we had to either buy the book new, or fork over $80 to use the online math xl program, which is confusing, complicated, slow and not user-friendly. He doesn't answer emails or follow through with arrangements. My class was online, and each of his exams was only open for one day.

Very hard to understand, a very bad choice to choose this class. painful to sit through whole hour in his class. Study your own book.

This was supposed to be an intermediate math course and it felt like I was in math 1050! He is too smart and is HORRIBLE at explaining... don't take his online class!! You will be very confused and it's a waste of time! Take a live class with a different professor!!

It may not seem fair to rate a professor only 3 weeks into the semester, but I am so frustrated! I am taking an online class from him and things are clear as mud. I have taken most of my college courses online, so I am familiar with the set up, and possible hang ups with online courses. Emailed questions are answered by a copy and paste of syllabus

I believe that Dr. Peters is a good guy. That being said, he is not a good teacher. He somehow turns easy concepts into complicated ones. He skips steps all the time and doesn't explain what he doing. Homework problems are completely different than quiz and test problems. I'd recommend not taking any math from him!

I did not like this teacher at all. He went too fast and did not explain well. He would get mad if you did not understand and was impatient. He did not cover everything well and still put it on the final. I am very angry!!!

Don't try to ask questions because he WILL make you feel like a complete moron and say things such as "it's so easy, the answer is obvious" in his frustration for the class having confusion on some topics, he will slam the chalk on the board and break numerous pieces during class. I highly don't recommend taking math from him, at least not 1050.

He is very knowledgeable, but he does not have a good teaching style that would allow you to learn the material. He does not answer questions that he feels is not relevant and makes you feel stupid for asking him to explain the problem. He writes the test problems in ways that it does not look like problems you practice from the book or in class.

Took forever to email back. Questions on the exams do not match exactly what is on the HW and quizes. Does not tell you what you did wrong on the exams to let you know what you need to work on. I was getting questions that were not even in the HW or on the quizes. I have to retake this class.... Do not take it from Peters!

Avoid this Professor at all times. I am not convinced that he knows statistics. He does not teach, at all. He reads from the book and struggles reading the content. When requesting to clarify something he goes on an unrelated tangent. Weekly quizzes, 3 exams, and comp final all in testing center. If you can take it from someone else, do it!

Mr Peters needs to assign homework problems. Homework is not turned in; however, he doesn't let you know what is expected. A quiz at the end of the week counts for homework, so what you learn on Thursday is on the quiz on Thursday. His lectues have no beringing on the tests or quizzes. Be prepared to read your textbook and do every problem.

Absolutely worst math professor I've ever had. My high school Calculus teacher taught me more than this lunatic. Quizzes every single Friday, that have nothing to do with the material covered in class. 15 problems of homework every day, including weekends. Practice tests don't cover a single problem of what is on the actual test.

I took an online class from Dr. Peters thinking that I would be able to learn most things from the book and I did. However at the end of the semester found out that all the homework I had been doing, which had due dates, didn't even count toward my final grade. Because that homework wasn't counted I dropped a full letter grade.

For the love of everything, avoid him if you can. Processor Peters isn't a great instructor. He is an extremely tough grader and doesn't explain concepts well. There are 3 exams and a final. Also, weekly quizzes. He is big on showing work and if there is any mistake in your work regardless if the answer is right, you'll be docked for it.

If you do everything right process wise on a quiz or test but you messed up anywhere during the process expect half credit taken off. No matter small the mistake. Prof. has had his phone on multiple times during lecture and let's it go off while never muting it. Once it went of more than 20 times during class

Mr. Peters knows math but that doesn't make him a great professor. He teaches straight from the book with no notes or organization. He adds his own material, which is not in the book, and tests on it. Making it so there is no way of using the book to practice what he tests on. He gets sidetracked easily and so the lectures are pointless.

Reads straight from the textbook. No credit for homework but just basically expects you to do all the problems from the section anyways. This is to prepare for the weekly quizzes on 2 sections. Quizzes in complicated format than from class. Get a tutor, do problems every night. Asking questions in class or office hours won't help.

Honestly, the worst professor that I have ever had. He doesn't teach. He goes about the class as if this is a review instead of him teaching us. He doesn't explain the "why" of things. When you ask for him to do a problem that he finds easy, he will say that it is too easy and that its not a good question, and does one much more complicated.

If you want to spend hours and hours on you-tube trying to figure out math then this is the professor for you. This worthless excuse of a professor makes Weber State University look like a joke. Don't bother trying to get math tutoring you will wait hours on end and not get any help. Good job WSU at upholding the reputation of a crappy math dept.

He's bad. He's very unorganized, will spend a lot of class time trying to figure out what he did in his notes. You'll have to learn the class on your own. On the take home final there were 4 mistakes - things like misquoting textbook formulas, sentences running off the page so you can't read them, etc. Other exams and practice exams had typos too.

I took Peters' online 1030 and while the content is not terribly difficult, you are essentially on your own for the class. I emailed him and sent him messages on canvas throughout the semester, he responded once a month after the email that he was responding to, the rest got ignored. Exams are a joke and the feedback and grading are vague.

Professor was pretty much unavailable for questions. The course was online and myself and several other students sent him emails with zero response. No real outline of course material to align with tests and quizzes.

If you have ANY questions, don't expect to get an answer. Dr. Peters was completely unavailable my whole semester. Because he failed to respond to emails and answer questions, I had a huge issue with my proctor situation. He didn't dock me for a late exam, but the lack of communication was a huge hassle. This class was a nightmare.

I know what youre thinking! All these reviews are just peeps overreacting? That's what I thought. NOPE DONT TAKE THIS CLASS. Peters doesn't take your questions seriously. He over explain and makes easy concepts complicated. His grading is totally random. It's almost like he grades like " Oh a point here and a point there" NO CONSISTENCY! Dont do it

This has by far been the worst teacher I have ever had. All my classmates would agree with me. The teacher has no communications and take's weeks for him to grade a single assignment or test and upload it. The calendar just shows due dates for quizzes, not homework or tests. The material for the assignments isn't the same that is on the tests.

Very interesting class however the professor refusing to actually go throw problems. He will ask if there are any hw questions and if you don't have a very specific question he will give you a general idea. He will say "I don't want to go through it". There are minimal outside resources that do things the way he wants them.

If you need someone to explain things, this is not the guy. We used a mathlab application for assignments which gives a 2 minute introduction video on the topic and then you are left to figure it out on your own. I should have paid Youtube the tuition because that's what I used to learn the content. Also his instructions require Rosetta Stone.

I've had Peters for two classes and he is not fit to be a professor. he is rude to students and he expects you to be an expert on all your previous math classes so expect no reviews on older materials. And when you ask for help he gives you vague responses. For 3710 the book and offline give you no help the subject is more for grad students.

Ungraded homework, even if you do it you won't pass, you gotta study super hard. Some of my other grades tanked because of how much time I had to spend on this class.

This is summary of prof peters Explains material in an unnecessarily elaborate way. Doesn't listen to students' questions. Ive asked for help and he's responded. "that question isn't quite interesting enough" horrible teacher-assumes you know the material his quizzes include problems that we don't cover waste of time professor peters class

his class is a waste of time. He is a horrible professor, doesn't communicate with students, doesn't teach his material clearly, uses large words to sound educated, writes down formulas on the board without explaining, doesn't answer questions. I would compare this class to taking a math class from a monkey. I left class every day with questions.

Dr. Peters is a horrible teacher. He loves to smell his own farts in class and say things like, "now obviously we can see that.." when we are in differential equations. He has no plan at all for lessons and wastes half of the class period flipping through his book looking for problems to do. He won't answer questions if they aren't "interesting."

At the beginning of the semester he even told the class that he could switch to online for covid, and despite the majority of the class wanting to be online, he still held class in person and posted bad quality recordings that didnt allow you to read the board. even if you did go he was very disorganized and often quite rude to students.

He was the only professor available for Online Math 1030 and I wish I wouldve read the reviews on him because I wouldve taken something else. The is less than a MONTH until the school year ends and I have yet to receive a grade, neither have my classmates. The tests and quizzes are nothing like the assignments. Take a different class!!!

I do not recommend this professor. He has not given me a grade yet and there is only 1 month until the semester ends. He is extremely difficult and the textbook does not help with the exams and quizzes. The assignments do not help when taking the quizzes either. Do not take this class with this professor. If I could go back, I wouldve taken 1050.

the course is through Pearson, no homework required but quizzes and tests are. One signature assignment. You will never be able to communicate with him, he will never respond to you. Only open 1 day for the exams. 100% essay questions for exams. No lectures, nothing. And grades horribly. Feedbacks are awful.

The way that this course is laid out is ludicrous. Sending you from a site used by all teachers in the school to their online book. The real kicker is that the teacher refuses to update ANY assignments onto the proper channels so you know what you have to do. One of the worst experiences Ive had thus far.

He took so long to grade, never posted them on canvas. He was almost impossible to get a hold of. No lectures or any help with the material.

Listen, youre probably reading the reviews and hoping to give the professor the benefit of the doubt. It cant be that bad, right? Wrong. This class was so hard. I took it online, and basically the homework doesnt matter. Its not a part of your grade, and the format didnt apply to the test. Teacher was hard to communicate with. Dont take it.

Dr. Peters is clearly very knowledgeable about what he teaches, but he also very clearly does not care if you are struggling in class. He has two-question quizzes at the end of each week. He does not use canvas or post grades, so grade calculation must be done by hand.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE!!! You can barely see the board in his lectures. He doesnt communicate well at all, and Ive never struggled so much in a math class before

I have a lot to say n a character limit. the course was confusing, told u to go to peterson lab, implied that you learn via the lab n textbook, i didnt even know he had lectures on canvas till march. hard to get any information from him, nothing he does is transparent n everypart of this class is confusing. o7 to who decides to take this class.

This teacher uses Pearson for his online teaching, ends up being completely different from what the quizzes ask you. Plan on spending 2+ hours on 15 question quizzes if you plan on passing. Google taught me more than the textbook, which is very confusing and complicated. He grades by correct answers AND the work done to get the answers on Exams.

Would recommend you look for a different math professor. He doesn't update grades so you never know where you stand in the class unless you hold on to every quiz/exam he gives you and calculate your grade yourself. Also, he records his lectures with an old iPad and uses the front camera so you can't even make out what he's writing on the board.

I wish I hadn't taken this class. The videos are horrible quality and barely follow along with the online course schedule, the bi-weekly quizzes barely seem to match with the test questions, and at this point I'm basically teaching myself and idk what I'm supposed to learn. I've emailed him a lot and have yet to receive a response or even a grade.

I am typically very good at math but I absolutely BOMBED this course! There was no real instruction or help, read the text book, do the homework, take the exam. There were lecture videos available but from a different semester and most did not match the work.I don't doubt the learning environment would have been better in person. Don't take online!

Doesn't teach at all, and posts videos from past years that don't even focus on what he wants us to learn. Homework isn't graded so your only points come from quizzes and tests. He judges you on how well you show your work, so if the work you show doesn't make sense to him, he will mark it wrong even if the answer is right. Not a good teacher

I did not enjoy this professors class. He was rude when I asked him questions in regards to his grading which was discussed in his syllabus, which in my opinion was very confusing. He cut me off mid- question and was very broad with his statements.

Taking courses with this professor was some of the worst experiences I've had in college. The professor typically seems unprepared for class - he reads and writes things on the board, verbatim from the textbook. When questions are asked, he is vague. He rarely posts thing on the Canvas course shell. He doesn't put in grades often. Can't recommend.

Professor Peters isn't much of a teacher and more of an instructor. Expect hard quizzes and hard exams, your grade is based solely on those. He will use problems from the textbook that he has never discussed and expect you to know it. Also he will give you a quiz even if there is a break or holiday. Good luck.

Does not respond to emails or questions.

no feedback on exams. ur graded on 4 assignments signature assignment, exam 1 & 2, and a combined score of your quizzes. this class is impossible to pass and i'm shocked he still works here. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS FROM HIM!

He barely looked up from his textbook and still managed to get all of his answers wrong. You can never see your final test grade either because he ghosts you after the class. Awful teacher

I took his online class. I had to teach myself entirely. The semester ended one month ago and I still never received the actual score for my final.

There's no teaching in this class. He just reads the textbook and expects everyone to understand it perfectly. When the first exam came back with a class average of 65%, a student asked whether he believed there was an issue with the students or with the teaching. He said that it was an issue with the students. No resources outside of class either.

Never looks away from the textbook. Refuses to work around work schedules; if he decides to schedule a test during working hours, don't expect to have any leniency given in order to actually be able to take the test. Very confusing teaching style, yet expects you to already know the information.

Doesn't post the grades online or any material, so make sure you show up. Every review for quizzes/tests don't actually review for what he puts on there. Follows the book very closely. Gets snappy when questions are asked and when asked if he can go over something for review for a quiz/test he will refuse. Doesn't even look at avg scores.

Peters is an infamously abysmal professor. Everybody in the math tutoring center knows him and hates him. He does curve your grade at the end of the semester, which is nice. After the final I went from a C to an A-, which is insane. If he's the only professor that fits in your schedule, consider taking the class a different semester.

Dr. Peters was not my favorite professor. He seemed to go over everything so quickly and I was too afraid to ask him for clarifications. Also, he made so many mistakes, I started to wonder whether he knew what he was doing. There was a quiz every week that needed to be taken in the testing center, and I rarely felt prepared for them.

Does not post grades at all until the semester ends. You have to track everything yourself. Not much communication whatsoever. Mr. Peters is not a good professor and is often more focused on birds than students.
