Comment:

He is not great. Tends to ramble a lot and play too many videos. Takes marks off of exams if you dont use enough examples provided by him, yet preaches that we all need to think for ourselves. Not expecting a good final mark

Comment:

He's always the hero of every anecdote he tells - his self-congratulatory attitude is embarrassingly transparent. I also have the peculiar feeling that half of what he says is unreliable. Still, overall, a nice guy, passionate about the subject matter. Clearly does not quite a bit, and is quite approachable. Does play too many videos in lectures.

Comment:

Think he is smart in fact not. Not considerate to students. Bad Prof no matter with a Doc degree or not. Be careful, his marking is subjective, you can never get a good one even you are a A+ student. Stupid prof.

Comment:

started off really interesting, but the course got morea nd more repetitive. i lost interest. just felt like a whole term of bashign western science. wasnt the point of this to be critical of all perspectives? he definitely has his pet peeves, but is very clear.

This is the best course I have ever taken in university- Denton is an absolutely amazing teacher who gets students to think for themselves. Classes are challenging, readings are interesting-- I was never bored. I would take another class with him in a sec

Comment:

Peter's a gas. Classes are fun, open discussions of current and historical issues. Chooses great texts for students, engages students in debate, fosters rage against the machine... Plus, he looks like Tim Robbins' little brother. Who could ask for more

Comment:

The course starts off ok - has a few good points, but is so sinicle, which gets really frustrating. Hypocritical too - and stubborn. Doesn't cover much concrete material, making his class a bit of a waste.
