Peter is a wonderful professor and he knows his stuff really well. He gives you a lot to read but I honestly skimmed through most of the readings and it's pretty easy if you had experience in reading psych papers. He's super good at giving feedback to those who ask for it. HIs grandkids are cute.

Comment:

This was a really interesting class. It was an indepth look at just one subject so sometimes felt a little repetitive but he kept it interesting. He was definitely there to help out with the projects, and the course was definitely geared toward learning so the grades were very fair if you showed up and worked.

Comment:

Peter is such a sweet man , but he is a hard grader. He cared about grammar and will mark you down because of it. For the most part this class made me solidify the decision that Psychology wasn't for me. I'd rather do Organic Chemistry.

I love this man! He is understanding, reasonable, and is willing to listen to everyone. He presents the material in varied ways to appeal to all types of learners. Three tests and a final, reading from the textbook, real life observation write-up. Great professor & person! He made me look forward to class. Take a class with him you won't regret it!

I adore Peter! He is the type of professor that really makes an effort to know his students outside of class. He is very approachable in and out of class and a fair grader. Plus, you can tell he really loves his subject and makes his students love it. Take a class with him-you won't regret it!

Peter is so helpful and sweet. He gives great examples and really interests his students in the subject. He also goes to the trouble to get to know you outside of class. And his famous cream scones? Delicious.... :-)

Peter is my favorite professor at Smith, and a fabulous advisor. His intro class is what convinced me to major in psych. Great lectures, and lots of helpful feedback on papers; he always wants you to do well. The nicest man ever, and coolest accent!
