Fantastic Professor! By the nature of the course, it's going to be hard but I think Peter genuinely cares about your success. He makes every lecture as fun and interesting as possible. He is also really easy to talk to if you have questions about the material or need help/advise to do well in the class. You won't regret taking his class.

This online summer class was all based on lab and lecture quizzes and 3 exams (including final). Very fast paced so you had to obtain a lot of information. Lectures were available to anyone even if you couldn't attend. He does care about his student but you must study in order to succeed in this class! He gives extra credit opportunities.

PETER IS MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR. HE LOVES TO TEACH AND YOU CAN TELL. If I could take Peter for every class I would. If you don't study you won't do very well. But if you are also in college and are not studying then you should probably not be here anyway.. Peter is awesome

Peter is hands down the BEST professor I have ever had. He's so passionate about the material he teaches and truly wants you to succeed. You have to put in the work but that goes with any physiology class and he makes his class fun so it doesn't feel like work. He doesn't want you to just study the material but understand it.

peter himself is a really cool guy. BUT DONT take this class if you're a bad test taker, your grade is determined by test performance. Not very clear with what will be on exams, especially in the online format. I know many in my class who did WELL on quizzes, lab reps and the HW and barley passed/ didnt pass at all. very test heavy.

Peter is nice and the class is easy enough. However, he often went over time on lecture and still wouldn't get to all the material. He'd tell us to "study on our own" for the sections he didn't have time to teach. Felt like poor time management and feels unfair to test something you didn't make time to teach.

Anatomy is a very hard class but I am so glad I took it with Peter. You WILL need to study!!! I took hybrid so the lecture is online and there are 3 exams (each worth ~100 points) and they are proctored. Also like 6 WUQs which are 15 points and proctored based on the lectures. Study lab material bc every class you have a lab quiz worth 15 points.
