Comment:

Dr. Peacock may be the worst professor I have ever had. Her syllabus is absurd, it makes no sense at all. She has a quiz every class. To get participation points you have to raise your hand. There is only a total of 50 points in her class so don't mess up on quizzes. And her answers are the only right ones, and if you're wrong shell freak out.

Comment:

She is by far the WORST professor Ive had. She may even be the worst professor at Slippery Rock. Avoid taking her if you can. She gives random pop quizzes, calls you out in front of the class, as well as interjects rudely while youre talking/answering a question. She fails to email back, so dont even try. She should not be a professor.

Comment:

This woman is absolutely terrible. If you answer one a question for her she will follow up your answer with Why or That doesnt make sense. Usually only agrees with you when its more biased of her own opinion. Save yourself the time & anxiety and avoid her at all costs.

Comment:

Dr. Peacock gives the most unclear directions, doesnt really have any idea whats going on, has a poor understanding of her own subject matter, and nickel and dimes your grade until theres not much left. I consider myself an above average student in English, and even doing the reading doesnt mean much if you dont agree with her POV.

Comment:

If you want to get a good grade in Dr. Peacock's class, you have to write papers solely based off of her opinion on things. Her class is just a big debate and having us state our opinions about topics we read only for her to completely rip us up in front of the whole class because out opinion differs from hers. Avoid at all costs.

Comment:

I was expecting to learn how to write in college writing and oo was I wrong. All you do is discuss politics and if you disagree with her, she will rip you apart. The only way to get a good grade on the 3 papers you write is to write about what she believes in, which can be difficult. Not a hard class but you will leave frustrated everyday.

Comment:

In critical writing we were expectant to learn about how to write a college level paper. Instead she basically spoke every single day about how Americans are stupid and even about how the military is useless. She has a very communistic way of thinking and if you disagree with her she will call you out in front of everyone and you will fail.

Comment:

This class has lots assignments for little points that add up quickly. She has a lot of group work, almost every class. She's truly one of the toughest graders ever. If you two do not agree on a point of view, good luck passing honestly. She can be rude about it too, she tries to give good feedback but sometimes it doesn't work.

Comment:

Peacock is an intelligent and professional professor, but she lacks caring and understanding. Her feedback is not always clear, did not use a lot of teaching strategies, and often came off as rude, critical, and out-of-touch. She means well but needs to dedicate more care to her students. Class could be a little boring and was mostly reading books.

Effort must be put in everyday 5 papers, only 1 week to write them. must read, spark notes isnt good enough participation is important. course only 100 points not much wiggle room. get ready to read, every class you will have new chapters to read. pop quizzes are assessed to examine your readings. all theory based, can be somewhat hard 2 understand

She is a very educated professor, but I don't know anyone that got above an A on any papers we wrote for her. Her viewpoint is strong, and if you disagree you are wrong.

Comment:

Dr. Peacock is a smart, intelligent professor, however, there is no student to teacher relationship and she is not very caring. I feel like she is very biased and has very liberal viewpoints. She gave me a D on a great paper because it went against what she believed in. It isn't a hard class, but I don't recommend.

Comment:

She makes you write 5 page papers literally every other week. There are only 105 points total in the class; so there's little to no room for error. This class is all about theories which are extremely difficult to understand. I've always gotten A's in English classes until now. She does not stick to the syllabus and she's totally unorganized.

Comment:

Dr Peacock is a very intelligent professor. I had her for Intro to Literature and Culture & it was a difficult class. She expects you to participate every class or she gets frustrated. You have to do the reading. Spark notes is not good enough to write the papers. You HAVE to know what is being talked about. Pop quizes. Tough grader. expect to work

Comment:

She means well, but she gives unclear directions and is very opinionated. She also changes deadlines to sooner rather than later at the last minute. I can handle a lot of work, if I have a schedule to work with. The day after the election she told us her views, and I don't think that is professional, even if I voted for the same person.

Comment:

Very unclear about assignments. Wants you to incorporate too much into one essay. We were assigned to finish an entire novel in one week and had the rough draft due in two days. Very opinionated, if you don't agree with her you are wrong. Class is structured very poorly, only out of 100 points and the 5 page essays are only worth 12 points each.

Comment:

Dr. Peacock is a really nice lady and a great professor. The people that give her bad ratings are the lazy ones that don't wanna do work. Yes she gives a lot of homework but its usually easy and this is college what do you expect? I would recommend her. Go to class and participate, you'll be fine.

Comment:

I took Intro to lit with her and can honestly say it was one of my favorite classes. The books we read were interesting and class discussions were always engaging. She poses thought provoking questions but makes them easy to understand. You won't get an A if you don't participate but its really not that hard.

Comment:

Unclear about directions. Has you work/read in groups and asks you to summarize what you have read. When you do that, she gets mad that you only summarized the passage and didn't analyze it. Also, when you do analyze it, you're often wrong. She isn't a mean/bad professor, just very unclear about work. She can be really funny, though.

Stories are supposed to have a meaning, but I guess she finds new ones to the same stories every semester. G'luck!
