Comment:
I have spent 40 years working with and in colleges. He is the best professor I ever had the opportunity to learn from. I took every class he taught when I was at BU (Late 70s). I just want to thank him for being so inspirational. I still use some of his examples in my teaching and consider his classes the best investment I made in my education.

Comment:
I took his Poli Geo and Int'l Law classes, and then was a TA for Poli Geo. Best prof I ever had, and he made us think for ourselves, even if our ideas contrasted with his (strong) ideas. He didn't have extremely easy exams, but they were all interesting. And I had so much fun being a TA as well! Fantastic guy.

Prof. Peterec is not only the best Prof. at Bucknell but the best prof ever. His interest in his students was not only in the classroom but outside. He cared about everyone. He will be greatly misses at Bucknell.

I agree with the previous guy - I had Peterec almost 20 years ago and will never forget him as one of the best, if not THE best, instructors I've ever had. The fact that we're rating him 20 years later says it all.

Comment:
I had this guy over twenty years ago, and I am 100% confident that there is some weird reason behind any negative comment on him. He was the most dynamic and interesting teacher I have ever seen. He had the best rep on campus - a SUPERSTAR. Utterly facinating and FUN. Even at 8 a.m.!!! I still remember most of what he taught me about pol. geo.

He has to be one of the best Politcal Geographer's in the country, this man is just an awesome presence. What I've learned in his class has allowed me to make friends and travel all over the world (except East Asia, as I have no interest). I can connect wi

Comment:
I took Dr. Peterec's class in Fall 1969!! He made us read the NY Times every day to learn what was going on in the world. He opened our eyes to the Middle East Crisis. His passion, intensity, enthusiasm, and knowledge helped inspire me to become a high school social studies teacher. Dr. Peterec was tremendous.

Take his class if all you want out of college is a piece of paper that says you deserve X amount of money and you are good at being a parrot. Typifies everything wrong with American education.
