Wonderful guy, great professor, and interesting person. I have learned a lot from him and have enjoyed his stories. As long as you listen to him you should do well. The textbook is a 50/50 thing. Its very helpful with essays on the tests.

fantastic Professor. I didn't take a single note but attend everyday and actually listen, think, and care about what he is saying then the you'll crush the quiz's and walk through the tests no problem. Just a great professor with a lot of great wisdom and life experiences to share so if you're into that he is your guy. I'd take him again.

Dr. Peyton is an older gentleman and dresses nice. He teaches by power points. If you read the chapter, listen to his lecture, and take notes you should be fine (history is tuff for me). He gives study guides to.

Very professional instructor. Always available to help you when needed. Expect to put in the time for his classes though. Don't be lazy and you'll do just fine. I look forward to taking him again for his public history course.

I have taken this instructor for many different history classes. He teaches classes according to their level. He was easiest in the lower levels and now that I am in upper levels, he expects more. That said, he is one of the most genuine teachers I've had. He loves teaching and is very knowledgable and respected in our community. grade A!

He's alright. He takes field trips, uses powerpoint, and bring show and tell to give a visual of the subject matter he teaches. He's a great professor, unfortunately for me, he still doesn't completely strike my complete interest in the topic.

I enjoyed taking this class. I have always been loyal and do so. Dr. Lassiter, sends me the newletters about Higher Ed. I only want to take four classes, since the only one. Aside from taking classes, I do charity work with children, these classes teaches me how to care for them and love a growing family. Aside from classes, the purpose is a loving

Had him for 3 classes. He's extremely intelligent. great instructor for 200 level classes. study guides are the bomb. 300 level classes are different though. he's a little harsh sometimes. you do not want to make him mad. he'll let you know in front of the class. a guy was texting in 208 one time...not good.

Dr. Peyton is a great professor. If he knows that you are at least somewhat interested in History and care about your grade you'll do fine. I read 10-12 hrs per test and did well

Prof. Peyton is great. He lectures from the book. Easy to follow along. Weekly quizes out of a second book, but easy. Overall tests pretty extensive, but passible. Would take him again for another class. He makes history fun. Don't believe me, take him for yourself.
