Absolutely amazing professor, super nice and caring. He's very charismatic, funny, and always manages to make class interesting, as well as very knowledgeable. Always willing to help and a very good teacher. Classes are reasonably difficult, his grading is fair, and he is understanding if you need a small extension or something for an assignment.

Such an awesome guy!! Took intro astronomy as a random elective and love it. Poole is super chill, and can make any confusing topic simple. Class is easy as well, online assignments and midterm/project are simple. He does do random quizzes so dont skip. Highly recommend if youre not a science student looking for an easy but interesting elective!

Comment:
Prof. P. Poole is the most inspirational professor I met. A five minutes conversation with him is enough to like doing physics. He is so thoughtful, patient, and caring. No limits for his smartness, yet he simplifies all problems so anyone won't have a second of ambiguity about any physics problem. Without a doubt you'll be successful with him.

AMAZING PROF. Made me chose a physics major. So approachable, always available for extra help. Exams and midterms are VERY fair, chooses three easy questions and one challenge question which was from the assigned problems (which most people neglect). LOVE U PETER

One of the finest professors at StFX. Truly embodies what it means to be an exceptional educator, an enthusiastic researcher, and a good person. Any student would be lucky to have him as a professor. He will bend over backwards to help his students succeed, and is an excellent source of wisdom and advice both in and out of the classroom.

Really solid professor for astronomy. Knows his stuff well and eagerly tries to help students understand topics. Easy course if you're even moderately invested in what he says in class. Easy assignments and finals make for a perfect elective.

Head of Science at the school at he teaches Astronomy for beginners, very thought out lectures and makes it interesting. Assignments are fair and he is an easy marker. Gives outline for exactly what he is looking for. I would strongly suggested this prof if you are interested in learning the basics of Astronomy.

Peter was a really nice guy, most likely the nicest prof on campus. His lectures were a little confusing at times, and the whole class had no idea what was going on. HE IS THE BEST MARKER EVER! Plus the exams are very fair. I would recommend Peter Poole to anyone.

The book for this class is great, and the lectures are a good supplement. What he says in class is helpful, but you have to be able to seperate the useful from the trivial. A ridiculously nice guy, and helpful out of class too

Comment:
Professor Poole is a great guy both in lecture and out of class time. He is always willing to help you out, and genuinely seems to care about his students. My only complaint would be that he tends to over-complicate things that aren't necessarily difficult with useless derivatives, unit conversions etc. Great guy though, and I've learned alot!
