Peter Northouse was my favorite professor that I had ever had. He was an amazing person and a great prof. He was funny, personable and caring. He always would remember your name and cared how you were doing. His classes were extremely interesting. I learned more from him than I did from any other professor.

Prof. Northouse is a great guy! He really tries to connect with all his students, even when the classes are huge. He is always fun to be around and very respectable.

Comment:

Dr. Northouse was fun, informative, kooky and interesting. He reminds me of the high school teacher everyone loved. He encouraged discussion, let everyone share their own ideas, and told the best stories! Dr. Northouse clearly enjoys leadership, and teaching and it shows! The class was def. easy if you turn everything in and study :)

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Such a fun class, I always wanted to go even though it was my earliest of the semester. Northouse cares about the students and is very knowledgeable about the subject.

I can't say enough about this guy, he's simply great. He is a man who loves teaching and it shows. I've taken two classes with him and had a blast in both. Lots of discussion and he loves to play devils advocate. PLUS he's the only teacher I know at WMU that students made T-shirts with his face on them.

I had him for two classes and he was one of the greatest teachers I had. If you talk to him one on one he is really helpful. Plus he is funny and tells great stories.

Power and Leadership was fun. Buncha grad students and the Prof. Food was good too. I had fun with his assignments as opposed to thinking they were a chore. His book was awesome as well.

I forgot the class but remember the teacher. This man is awesome, and for those who think he rambles... I say relax. It's nice to not have a robot teacher. He is personable, kind, and a huge scholar in the field. This man is a fantastic resource.

Seemed like a nice enough guy, but he rambles like none other in the lectures! He has endless stories that really have nothing to do with the lecture.

Goes way off topic, but it's an interesting class. Lecture is only once a week and the break-out sections with the TAs are usually really good! My TA is really cool. Just gotta get through the lecture with Northouse!
