I loved him!! The class was pretty straight forward, just watch all the lectures and you'll be fine. But, the questions on the tests and quizzes are very specific to the lectures, you must watch them. Quizzes every week and three exams.

Peter is a good professor, and he is really knowledgeable of the subjects he taught. He may seem a little weird at first, but turns out to be a cool guy. He offers extra credit during the semester which is always a plus. We read a book throughout the semester and he split the book into two quizzes which were easy if you read the material.

He's alright to me honestly. He's very keen on just using pictures and a few words for his slides during lectures, which isn't very helpful when using them to study for his exams. He does come off as a bit weird but he's really a nice professor and knows what he's doing but I would not take this class again because I fall asleep in class sometimes

He might seem a little weird but he's very interested in what he does and makes it more enjoyable for everyone. He takes his 112 class on a 4 day field trip to Missouri which was super fun. He can be a little boring at times during lecture but it's not too bad. Probably could get away without getting the text book

Peter is a legend! Greatest professor here at GV by far, wish I could give him a higher ranking than a 5. He makes classes super fun, he might seem weird at first but give him and chance and you'll find him hilarious

Taking this as a gen ed, but I'm actually really interested. Peter is hilarious and his tests really aren't difficult if you study. GO TO LECTUREpay attention and you'll be fine. He gives great feedback as well; he emailed me congratulating me on an A for the first exam. A few pointless group activities, but they're easy points. Take this class!

Awesome prof! his lectures are boring, but he has a very unorthodox sense of humor. He's rather funny and it's an overall fun class. Get to know him out of class. Hilarious! also gives EXTRA CREDIT out of this world

Peter is a funny guy. He's entertaining to talk to outside of class. But his lectures are dry and boring. His tests are not overly easy. There are easy, mildly fun in class assignments for points on random days. He doesn't give many homework assignments, but the ones he does give are time consuming. He gives Extra Credit out like nobody's business

Awesome profesor! Absolutly hilarious! Exams are a little tough. Sometimes a little hard to pay attention in class because it can be boring. Read the articles online for the 3 or 4 quizzes he may give you. Overall really funny guy.

This is my favorite professor by far. He made a class that could easily put me to sleep interesting. If you pay attention in class, you will pass, and he slips in so much humor. He posted review questions before the exams, so if you reviewed these the night before, you could ace the exam. I highly recomend him. He cares alot. very helpful.

Funny man, yet for geo100 you will be bored completely and he makes you do a group presentation that is a waste of time and dependent on other group members. Overall an easy class but irritating.

Funny guy. Willing to help. Tests are challenging so study, read, and take good notes. Angus cruise field trip wasn't the greatest but still entertaining. Can be a tough grader. Interesting class.

Peteys a funny guy who tries to keep his classes relaxed. His teaching style is rather boring, turning off the lights and using a powerpoint all the time. He does give a lot of extra credit. Tests are somewhat difficult, you definitely need to do all the readings, and there are a lot of them, to get a decent grade.

Comment:

To his credit, he really tried to make material interesting and learning it fun. He really wanted to help his students and offered a lot of extra credit opportunities in order to do so. There is a major paper and it's a bare! I would reccomend this professor if you have a good interest in geology.
