Comment:
Overall he is a great professor and his energy is sky rocket high that it literally just gets hilarious listening to his lecture videos. He answers emails quite momentarily and he explains very thoroughly. On the contrary, when providing feedback to the students he is quite critical, but he wants to ensure students learn from their mistakes.

Comment:
Really good professor who takes his time to explain anything youre struggling with. He tries to make time for group work, and is available outside of class times for additional help if needed. Can be pretty picky about notation on turned in assignments but nothing that cant be fixed. Gave worksheets before tests which were very helpful as well.

Comment:
I really enjoyed Haberman's classes! It sounds like he's really hit his groove with the distance learning, and he has several really good videos of his lectures prerecorded. He is pretty picky on his assignments, and will take small deductions off for little things, but never enough to change the overall grade, just enough to make you think.

Comment:
He overexplains simple concepts to the point of confusion, and is so high energy it gets tedious. Everything he says starts to blur together, and I found myself nodding off in almost every class. Math is hardly ever difficult for me, and I already knew the concepts from this class from high school, but I struggled with this teacher.

Not interested in helping students, more interested in being a gatekeeper. Rude and mean-spirited.

Comment:
Taking this class online is a little bit more of a struggle. Peter doesn't seem to have the hang of D2L so coursework is listed under discussions. That said, he is a good professor if you complete the homework and follow test reviews you'll pass. He does give borderline degrading feedback but I think he means well and still gives partial credit.

I think Peter is a probably a good teacher, just not one that's cut out for distance learning. I regret taking this class online, but don't completely blame him for how confused I was. You will definitely be doing most of the learning on your own. Trig is an intense subject, but it will follow you around forever. Make sure you actually understand!

Comment:
I dont understand people on here saying he responds to questions rudely or insufficiently. I probably annoyed the hell out of him from sending long emails asking questions about math, and he always gave me long and thorough answers. He made me actually like math, too. I didn't do great in his class but thats my own fault. His notes are bomb, too.

Worst math professor/strictest grader that I've ever had. He is distracted by everything and he bunny trails every single class period. Takes an hour to teach a topic that should take 10 mins. Google taught me more in two hours than he has taught me this entire term. Homework feedback is degrading VERY unhelpful.

Comment:
He breaks concepts down in a way that helps a student like me (who has trouble) understand things. He constantly reiterates things so students understand thoroughly. He is super eccentric and talks about strange things at times, like a stereotypical higher level math teacher. But I honestly thought this was funny and made the class less boring.

I took his online class, If you want to teach yourself an entire math course this is the class for you. Very little homework, Very little instruction, tests are huge! So if that's how you work great! Also I found he took points off of problems for very small things even when I would get the answer right.

Comment:
Maybe he's better in person, but his online course is awful. There are no lecture videos, no outside materials, nothing other than the textbook and a supplemental packet that contradicts the book, you're just teaching yourself. Leaves constant condescending remarks on turned in work. YouTube is better, take this with a different teacher!

Comment:
Took his online class. The material was barely covered and discussed, and the comments he'd leave on worksheets were rude and patronizing. I learned more from searching on Google than I did from his class. Sometimes the way of solving or formatting a problem that he'd explain would get me docked points as being wrong. Avoid this teacher.

Haberman is a good professor. You don't need to show up in class often and No quizzes in class. Only graded worksheet and finish it at home. He'll always be there when you have any questions. But, you have to prepare pretty well for 3 exams in a whole term.

Professor Haberman is a great teacher! He truly cares about his students. I took his class online and felt that it was really difficult. He invited me to his office hours and he spent an incredible amount of time with me making sure I understood the content. Such an amazing professor and a really good person.

This guy is great! I checked the reviews for his class on rate my professor before taking the course, and some of the remarks made me nervous. However, they've proven to be not true. Tests are totally fair and not hard as long as you show up and pay attention. His lectures are great, and he presents concepts with a passion for the subject.

Mr. Haberman was a great professor. He is a really excited and energetic person, especially about math. Talks a little fast but will always help you if you ask. Most of the work you do isn't checked or graded, but the weekly labs and exams are modeled off the problems. A little picky on syntax. You decide how much work you need to get the A.

Comment:
He is very personable and excited about math. However, in class, he elaborates on tangents that do not exactly assist in understanding, and by the time you have lost focus, he brings the lecture back to his point. I am good with math, but could not follow his information at all. He grades very hard on his tests. I got more information from the net.
