Professor Peterson cares about student learning, and how he structures the class is conducive to that. The final quiz did encourage me to attend lectures after the midterm, though it was more challenging than I was anticipating. I appreciate the openness of the final project, because it allowed me to see something in the class and then be creative off of it. Providing past projects as examples was super helpful in determining the scope of my project and having a physical representation of the 40 hour requirement. Though the math was a challenge for me, and the grad level class was more difficult than other elective options, I feel like I had more overall enjoyment taking this class. Homework was more qualitative than other Peterson classes, and this helped with understanding concepts from the class in addition to doing some derivations. For any senior, I would recommend taking this class for the flexibility if their GPA does not matter so much to them where they need an A in the class.
