Very direct and concise. She will drop hints as to what she expects for tests and assigns challenging homework problems. The lecture outlines that were used for the second half of the class were very nice to have. I also hear she might be using these outlines during the whole course from here on out. You have to work a little but the grading is fair.

Winter 2021 - Great professor. Logistics are still being worked out but they’re definitely better than before. Definitely expect things to be different logistics-wise when you take it. Lectures were very clear and engaging. They were podcasted and slides were released, but it’s still very worth it to go to lecture. She’s probably the best lecturer in the ChemE department, and even better at lecturing than the North Campus Professors. Grading was definitely generous. Here’s the breakdown for my year (the COVID year): 3% Surveys, free points (3 surveys total) 7% Feedback Quizzes (Free points, after lectures). Lowest 4 dropped. 10% Homework, free points. Lowest is dropped. 60% Exams. 4 exams in lieu of a Midterm and Final. Lowest one is dropped. 20% Tutorials. Exams were still difficult, but definitely more straightforward compared to previous quarters. There was a timed conceptual section and an untimed free response section. They were very fair. What I liked best was that we were tested on our knowledge of Heat Transfer, not on our ability to solve PDEs. The tutorial was a group project where we solved an example problem to explain a concept. Unlike previous quarters, it was NOT free points. Some people got dinged pretty hard on it. Fortunately, we could redo it and get up to half of the points we missed. WARNING: There's a really good grade distribution for Winter 2021. Take it with a grain of salt. That quarter, we were allowed to P/NP major classes, so many students did exactly that, which undoubtedly skewed the grade distribution towards the A range.

Winter 2024 - Heat transfer is hard, trying to follow the lectures when you have to look out for mistakes in lines and lines of derivations makes it more difficult. I personally was always behind in this class because I had a heavy quarter, and because this class was held at 8am. The homework assignments should have harder deadlines because it is hard to make them a priority amongst all other class work (when due at the end of the quarter). I did not find lectures engaging since they were so math heavy, and I only enjoyed the small conversation of the real-world applications of the concepts. From day 1 of this class, I found Peterson to be an interesting guy. Being so statistically focused and trying to organize partnered exams was definitely a distraction. The lecture summary sheets were pretty organized and helpful, I think they could have been more complete as the homeworks did require other equations that were not included on them at times. A curve may save my grade in this class, but I will admit that I am probably not going to remember anything other than the generic topic headlines after this class.
