Knows his stuff but teaches incredibly fast...a frustrating prof if you are not a math genious

No Comments

He is very very smart...so if you are not very very smart, he will no doubt make you want to scream once in awhile. I failed the class, and I got a 26 in math on the ACT...lets just say he teaches way to fast to fully understand.

Good teacher... MATH IS THE COOLEST SUBJECT EVER!

He takes things slow and grades pretty easy, but he does not offer any extra credit

I hate Math I failed 041 the first time. I took 141 with Lampe and got through the first time with a good grade. If you show up to class, study for exams, and ask for help you will be fine. The big thing is show him you actually care to learn.

BORRRRING

I passed his class with an A. He does teach very fast but if you stop him, he will slow down and go back.

good teacher.works well with the students

easy to understand, very helpful

he teaches pretty fast so you have to pay attention but if you ask him for help he will help you. if you do bad on a test dont worry because one of his main concerns is that youre making progress and care to learn the material and not just to get the grade.

Lampe was a fun teacher, but there was a lot of material that was not covered in our course material that he would tell the class about. He taught fast, but he would slow down if you asked.

Awesome professor. Received D's in high school math and got a B in 141. Explains things very clearly to your level, and extremely willing to help you.

Best math teacher on campus. Is tremendously intelligent, and explain things as much as you need. Do every chapter review and you shouldnt have many problems. If you want succeed in math, take Lampe.

Great teacher, crystal clear, tremendously understanding. The best math teacher on campus! Take him if you have the opportunity for Math 141!

Loved this professor! Hes crystal clear and gives plenty of opportunities to seek help and ask questions if you have trouble-and helps you until you get it 100%. He's easy to understand and he always keeps the students' point of view in mind. His tests are difficult but fair. I suggest doing at least some of the homework if you expect to pass!

Pretty good professor, really personable and is pretty good at teaching the subject. The fact that his tests are difficult is a downer, but no mandatory attendance, and rarely assigns homework

Lampe was extremely clear and used good examples to help students. Always taught very thoroughly before moving on the next section. Do the assigned problem sets and you will understand the material. It's a hard class, and you need to invest time into it. I did and pulled off a high A.

This professor is ALWAYS willing to help, and will usually stay after class to do so. He finds ways to make math more interesting, (like applying probability to poker hands.) Friendly and professional all around, he will treat you like a fellow human being instead of just a student.

Peter Lampe is literally the only math teacher who has actually explained math to me. I took the class 5 days a week which really helped, and I already took Pre Calculus. If you do the homework and you do it until you understand everything, you will be just fine. Ask a lot of questions! Also, bond with him with his Star Wars Nerdiness.

I thought Lampe was a very good professor. As long as you put in the work outside of class and practice the homework, you will do well on the tests. I worked hard and got an A.

Lampe is great. He explains really well and does a lot of examples. He's also pretty funny and nice. Make sure you go to all classes and practice problems really help. Homework is pretty easy, and exams are alright.

Tough tests but a really great professor. You will need to work hard and go to SI sessions if you want to do well.

Well I'm going to be blunt, if you are bad at tests you won't pass. I'll be honest I can't take math tests. I am really bad at them and I barely passed. He assigns homework but doesn't take it for a grade. He only graded like a few assignments but he will warn you beforehand.

Very easy, can't fail if you go to class. Walks you through each homework. Homeworks at the end of each chapter along with a test, no final however. You can retake 1 test at the end. Works through problems on the board, but doesnt mind if you are working on problems out of the book in your own time.

Professor Lampe is an awesome guy to have for math. If you're like me, you don't mind math, however some professors have made it harder than it needs to be. Professor Lampe explains everything I've ever had a problem with, and makes it clear. He also is a little bit of a nerd, but also really funny. You really should try and get him as a professor!

Peter is one of my favorite professors of all time. He is excited about math and he explains the material in a relate-able manner so that everyone can understand him. This class is tough, but he gives enough background information and keeps it interesting enough to the point where I honestly loved going to class every day. 10/10 would recommend!

I took Lampe more than once I liked I him so much. This class wasn't easy, but he is available to help often. He wants you to succeed both in the class and as a person, and does his best to help you in doing so. He has a great sense of humor and is just a fun guy to be around. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lampe.

He is always available for extra help. Before each test there are 2-3 days of review. There is only one required homework assignment per test. He doesn't allow calculators, so the questions tend to be easier.

Math 254 is definitely a difficult class, but if you've got Lampe, it's not too bad IMO... Well, if you show up to every non-review class, that is. He doesn't spend much time going over what he's already lectured on, so if you miss more than a couple classes, you're gonna have to work very hard for a good grade.

You have to stay on top of homework because he doesn't go over how to do every kind of problem in class. If you do the homework (odds) you can ask questions during review class which he has before every test. He also has office hours every day and there's also SI. I thought his lectures were good.

Professor Lampe is a pretty decent professor. He tries to make the student engage in class, enough that I'm sure you won't fall asleep. The way he teaches lecture makes sense to me. We have an online textbook but I never use it, the only time you would read it is probably for extra practice problems. There's weekly homework unless it's exam week.

One of the best teachers i've had! really explains things and gives you real life examples of what you are using in class. Always helps in office hours, and gives you a second chance on some exams if you are willing to show him you will put in the effort. very helpful.

A very underrated professor in my opinion! He is one of the most understanding professors I have had so far. If you really are struggling, be honest with him and he will try to accommodate to the best of his abilities. He is also a very funny man with dad jokes. Truly interested in his students background and their upcoming which made me feel great

Peter made me enjoy math a little more. Homework was assigned one web assign per class, all was doable. He is a super chill, funny guy. Class was not mandatory but you should attend class because he doesn't post any material on canvas. His office hours were in person during covid so that was very helpful.

Math is not my thing, quite frankly I get most questions wrong- but quizzes (calls them Exams) he gives points for HOW you did the problem. You may have gotten an answer wrong but he will give points if you set up the problem correctly. Office hours are always a great option, lectures get boring and I get sleepy, overall great for a math professor!

Overall solid professor. Did not grade hw so hw was not required except a few, so your grade was based off of a few hw and tests, so if you are bad with tests, dont take him (at least for calc 2). Tests were straightforward. Wished he graded hw since it would make you do hw and put less stress on the tests. Final had some EC though. I recommend him

Professor Lampe is really good at communicating mathematics. While he doesn't allow calculators, he makes the questions easy to do without them and does not take many points off for calculation mistakes. You will need to study outside of class to do well, and he expects you to memorize a lot; if you are going into STEM, he will set you up nicely.

Peter was great, he has good knowledge of what he teaches and clarifies any questions. I've never been good at math so this class was harder for me, but overall the work isn't that bad. Lots of webassign homework, 3ish quizzes and excel sheets to accompany the exams. He also saves you points on exams if you show you know kind of what you're doing.

This class was very easy overall. Basic high school math. Mr. Lampe has a great personality and is a really good human. Tends to over-explain things as he gives many many examples. Reviews are just as the test are just different numbers. Cares and encourages questions! Has a normal amount of homework for any math class.

Dr. Lampe is a great professor. He truly cares about his student's success. He was open to taking questions and going over things again. With extensions, if you asked kindly he would give them. Study guides were just like his test, and the quizzes were always harder than the test, which made me study harder for tests, giving me better grades.

So glad I took him, he talks a lil slow but I kinda need that. He tells a lot of stories about himself and incorporates them into math problems which kept me entertained and more willing to learn. overall great awesome guy and I highly recommend him if ur a lil slow at math

Mr. Lampe is genuinely one of

He is such a kind teacher. He really tries to connect with the students and he's so funny. He wants people to do well, and he explained the material in a way that made sense. I'll miss his class he was the best!

Dr. Lampe is a very nice guy. He can go off on tangents that leave you forgetting about what you were originally discussing. I will say if you are not the best at math, steer clear of him as sometimes his explanations are not great. If all you need is a review of the content, he does a wonderful job. Homework and assignments prep you for the tests.
