Comment:

He makes you do so many memos. He doesn't give you clearly instructions. Takes away points for many reasons. Doesn't give you midterm or final but gives a lot of homework.

If you think Dr. P is bad you must be doing something wrong! Very easy going class, work was very manageable and interesting. I would highly recommend him. A couple of quizzes in class but nothing crazy. Overall an interesting class with good learning points and relevant information and assignments. I'd take him again

Comment:

He is rude, condescending, and unorganized. His class is a waste of time because you don't learn even the basics in any software. His assignments are unclear and he basically has a repeating blog assignment where you have to use your imagination- this is not an art class, this is a graduate level information class. Irrelevant class!

Comment:

Professor Peterson is very knowledgable. He gives weekly assignments which may seem like a lot of work but they are all relevant. I didn't pay attention in class but I still came away with a lot of new information. . I'd recommend him 100%. Just make sure you do the online assignments and do them right because that cost me an A for this class.

I've learned a lot in this class especially because he gives feedback. Blogs every week but he gives good grades and acknowledges efforts. Dr. P is knowledgeable and passionate about what he teach. Take him if you can.

loved him!!! he's so funny and tries to make the class as clear cut and easy as possible. every week or every 2 weeks we had to write a blog based on a question he asks in class. hw is easy and takes minimal time. show up to class try to participate and youll love him. no tests just hw, and a video final project. would definitely take him again!!

Comment:

Mr. Peterson was one of the few memorable professors at MSU during studying for my Business Management degree. His lectures are interesting, colorful and up to date (meaning he is using today's stories and examples). He is available for you if you need help and if you are showing respect for his work he will treat you like his best friend.

Hybrid course so there's a decent amount of reading and HW, but reading isn't necessary. No tests. Write some blog entries, discuss current events, use Visio once, use project once, online quizzes (super easy), and make a team video about new technology. Chill guy, talk and he'll love you. If you want easy, he's it.

1.5 Hybrid class. There are a LOT of assignments and and a TON of stuff posted on BB making in rather difficult to find what you are looking for. Ask for clarification and examples early in the course to avoid frustration. The prof is a really nice and knowledgeable guy and also a fair grader. Give him a chance. few nice guys like him at MSU

Good Professor.No Textbook needed for the course.He is Clear and breaks down on what he wants.Very flexible grading, but often made mistakes on quizzes/Tests.You have to be the determined student to correct him, then eventually curves the grade. Do you current events, and start early on the semester and do not cram them at the end.HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Horrible teacher!!!!! Nothing is clear in this class, you don't know what is due when and when you ask him, he will reply promptly via email, but the answer would not be clear. You ask white or black...he would say gray...go figure. He posts so many things on Blackboard that you cannot locate any course materials and assignments. Do not take him!

Comment:

Dr. P is a pretty nice guy overall, but as a professor, not so much. He spent more than an hour every class talking about current events, and then barely anything about the actual class. Online quizzes are based on stuff we never learned and are pretty much impossible. Nice guy, but horrible professor.

Comment:

This class is pretty straight forward. It was a hybrid class so you are expected to read on your own and then come to class for discussions. The online quizzes were difficult if you didn't read the online textbook. He gives you little assignments to do every week and then there is the final group project that wasn't too bad.

Comment:

Most inconsistent professor. I am an 'A' student who ended up with a C in this class bc he creates impossible online quizzes based off stuff never covered during class periods. He is very stubborn never likes to be proven wrong or here out his students. Simply an unorganized class with little room to do well.

Worssst teacher!!! He has online tests you take at home but he makes them impossible so i got like C and Ds on them. And the moodle site we used wasnt working for one test and he wouldnt let me make it up. Then when i had a question on our final project he said just hand it in and hope you did it right. Do not take him!!!

Dr. P was a wonderful professor, if you take the work seriously and you will do fine. He was a great professor who honestly cared about his students.
