easy marking , helpful but muffled talking

Peter is a very nice instructor. The good thing is that he is always laughing. Peter understands students' problems,and gives extra days for completing the assignment whenever he feels it is too long. Very friendly. Having him was great fun.

He is very nice guy, very friendly. I took two courses from him, and I am very happy with my grades. Take the course, and u will see.

a nice guy,easy going,always easy exams

Peter is a very nice guy and he is very helpful and approachable.Don't be afraid to ask him question coz he is very patient too.I took 2 courses with him and it is very comfortable to study in his class.So far,he is my favorite teacher in Langara!

He's a great teacher!! In his class, he's trying to give you some taste of maths instead of freaking you out by the complicated formula.

Awesome teacher - lets us have cheat sheets for the midterms and final, set up a study class during finals week so we could review, and he's always approachable. Really nice and funny guy!

he is nice, willing to help, gives weekly assignments which are very helpful in helping students understand the material...his voice is kinda funny n not so clear, but he explains clearly. his questions can be very tricky sometimes...

He has a lot of questions on his weekly assignment. If you do all his assignments, you will be ok. He looks stupid, but he is very smart! He is friendly and willing to help

Good teacher, patient and helpful! lots of assignments, but if you have time to finish them, you will learn a lot and get good marks!

peter is not that bad. as long as you go through his notes, and review the questions he assigned.you'll be fine!! he is really approachable.

The course is not extremely difficult. However, he has extremely long exams! If you take his class, write fast during exams because you'll not have time to think! I believe I have the capability of scoring 5-10% higher if his exams were a bit shorter.

although he's nice.......................his lectures are rather slow, & he gives terribly long and difficult exams...........do try your best to understand the material on your own~ good luck, all!

he is very good teacher,, his notes helps a lot. good quizes and miterms. if U solve the book examples u will be OK. he help a lot also so I recommend him for any math LINEAR and DIFFRENTAL

well...i got A in midterms, but got B+ finally. maybe cuz i skip too much homeworks..it counts 10 marks.:( anyway, he is a good instructor, but hard final exam. i still recommend, nice one!

An okay teacher, approachable, dedicated, nice guy. Frequently failed to explain a concept after we didn't get it on his first attempt. His exams were deliberately too long in order to be self-scaling. This could be appropriate if you know what to expect, but poses a nasty handicap for students with any degree of math anxiety.

the guy who said he had a gpa of 3.6 or something,,and did do well in calc I? what can i say.... i wonder what u can get in calc III or IV

What a horrible teacher... I couldn't understand what he's teaching, so unclear with the examples. I dropped the course...

Peter is awesome! He will drop everything to help you... anytime. Always humble and helpful... knows his stuff very well... some find his voice a bit muffled, so sit up front then (I was fine at very back)

Had him for integral calculus back in Spring 2002. Don't know if he's changed much since then, but his notes were reasonably clear and concise, but he has a monotone voice due to a hearing impairment. He's pretty good at getting across how to do integral calculus, I found, compared to most SFU professors.

Peter knows his mathematics and attempts to simplify it as much as you can for non-math types like me. I was even shocked to get the highest class mark on my first midterm. He'll select some of the harder homework questions but that's to your benefit. I'll be signing up for Linear Algebra with Peter, even though there's a lot of work.

his notes are absolutely clear there is a test every week but they are super easy.assignments are very long but he marks them fairly.midterms are kind of difficult but still he marks them fairly.he is always available to help you.

The best teacher i have ever had. So fair and so helpful.

very helpful teacher

peter is a nice guy. he is willing to help if you put the effort in. exams were fair and he is a fair marker. overall good teacher and would take a class with him again

Peter is one of my favored professors at Langara.

long assignments, extremely generous marker, uses 100% of assignment Q's on tests, lectures not that great so be prepared to use his office hours; he has TONS, friendly, funny, great teacher

Most helpful guy in the world if you actually GO to his office hours. Did a fairly good job at explaining concepts. Homework and exams are long and fairly challenging though

Peter cares a lot about his students. You don't have to like math to like his class. He is complete genuine and hilarious at times. Hands down the best math teacher I've ever had. If you're lazy, you will fail his class.

you don't have to like math to like peter. he's a completely genuine and hilarious man who cares a lot about his students. from having 10 hrs of office hrs a week, sending encouraging emails, and setting up extra review sessions outside of class time. If you're a lazy person, don't take him because Peter deserves better students.

Very helpful!!! He is very generous in marks as well. He takes care of his students.

Peter isn't a hard teacher but the course is! He is passionate about what he teaches and he cares about his students. He tells you what will be on the midterms and final. Lots of long assignments but if you do them all you'll have no trouble doing well. He can be hard to follow at times but if you go over in class notes it'll be clear.

Peter gives us a lot works to do. That is what we need to do if we wanna be successful in Math. Don't like some instructors just explain the example of textbook. That is unuseful. Doing practise is the best to learn things and figure out whether you understand what you learned.

Really great guy. Very friendly, and more than open to helping you when you need it. Before you get to know him, he seems weird, but once you get past that, very helpful. Never gets enough sleep, always very tired. Exams are quite difficult, but I stress that he is extremely helpful, and lectures quite well.

HE GAVE WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT, WHICH I FOUND QUITE TIME-CONSUMING. BUT THOSE ASSIGNMENTS ARE GOOD FOR THE FINAL REVIEW THO.

He is a very nice and helpful instructor. He sometimes tells his students what kind of questions he is gonna put in exams. Also, most exam questions are quite similar to assignment questions. It was a breeze for me to get full marks on his midterm. However, the final is a bit harder than midterms because it covers lots of materials.

Great guy, extremely helpful. If the lecturing or homework is unclear, use the office hours and he will make you understand. This is the first math class I ever got above a B+.

Take him best prof ever. always making everything clear, test are fair, do the assignments and study for quizzes and you will get a A

Friendly guy! Funny and very helpful. But please be warned. If you are coming from 1150 get ready to be bombarded with new material. It's such a big jump. This may have been the downfall and not Peter. Go to the math center everyday and DON'T fall behind
