HE's great. Mainly just labs are your grades. Drops the two lowest labs though. As soon as you go into class you start your lab. You need to have it printed out in front of you though. Otherwise you'll be writing every question down. If you need help understanding something he is always willing to help you out with your question.

(Blended Class) Professor Peebles is a great guy. If you are terrible or hate science, then he is perfect for you. He helps you understand the material but also have fun with it. Just read, do the homework, and you will be TOTALLY fine. AND there is extra credit that is worth a lot! You will love him, and he wants you to succeed.

He is a nice professor essay class. His tests are not hard if you study for them he allows 1 page of notes for them. The book is NEEDED. 5 test total last one is the final and the 4th is a take home test thats 15 small essays with plenty of time and open book. This helps your grade out before the final. This class has paper labs. TAKE IT ITS EASY.

Comment:

Dr.. Peebles is a great professor - he was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the topics at hand. Definitely has the life calling as a scientist or professor. The material wasnt the most exciting or simple to grasp but it wasnt impossible. This was my first lab taken and I was relieved it wasnt demanding.

Comment:

if you have to take him take him bio, not chem. He would always just do the problem and never really explain the step to get the answer and he has a problem with standing right in front of the board while writing. there's no homework so you have to do well on the tests (4). youtube videos and study groups are definitely helpful

I've had the pleasure of taking Professor Peebles for 2 courses this semester. Earth Science and Oceanography. Both classes were awesome. He offers extra credit and his tests are easy as long as you study from his presentations, the book, and his lectures. 4 exams and additional assignments in each class. He is always there to answer any questions.

Comment:

Mark is the best teacher iv had at SPC. He is understanding, reasonable and fair. He has 4 exams and a final, they aren't "easy" but he gives a study guide and if more than 50% of the class gets a problem wrong he drops it. He understands chem is hard, which is a relief. He gives quizzes that are essentially the hw questions and you can use notes.

Comment:

One of the best professors at SPC. He's very laid back and if you don't understand something, he will explain it to you. 4 Exams, labs due at the end of the semester (you can work on them in class or at home) and 2 journals due before each exam. He offers extra credit too. I'm taking him for another class next semester and I can't wait.

Comment:

Great Professor with a good sense of humor & funny stories. Easy A if you study. Tests are what his presentations & homework are on. Extra credit available. The only thing I don't like is he always says he'll post the homework soon but does it much later. It is now a week from finals and he hasn't posted it yet. Would take this professor again.

One of my favorite teachers at SPC. Anyone who doesn't get an A didn't work for it. Lots of extra credit, and very easy to talk to. No excuse not to get an A. Would take any of his other classes in a heart beat. I will note lectures are long, however after all that time it's worth it. He always puts funny twists on what he's teaching.

This class is 2 hours & 15 minutes, but it fulfills the lab requirement for a science course. Half of the class time is lecture, the other half is working on labs. No midterm or final, just four tests. I'm not good at science, but Prof. Peebles makes the material interesting and fun. Take notes, do all the work, study and you will be fine.

Great teacher. Very helpful and he wants everyone to pass. No homework but you have to write article reviews on test days. Labs are long and lectures can get a bit boring but he will help you every step of the way. I would definitely take him again

Comment:

This was one of the easiest classes I have taken. He really wants to help you and see you pass. During notes, he is a little soft spoken and goes through the slides almost way too fast to take notes. He still was a good teacher though. He gave you the essay questions so you could nail them on the test. I finished with an A+. Take it if you need it.

Professor Peebles has to have been one of the best professors I have come in contact with at SPC. He is hilarious, and makes class interesting; they are definitely worth going to. His tests aren't easy, but if you study and take his class seriously then you'll have no issue passing with an A.

He's a nice guy I just don't think he's very good at explaining things. It has been really hard for me and he expects a lot of detail on the take home tests. I study a lot but feel like I learned nothing in this class.

Professor Peebles is great. He wants to get you excited about science and knows that sometimes it can be really boring. Tests are easy as long as you study and do the homework. Gives extra credit for each test and will help you out if you need it. Most of his notes are just written on the whiteboard so make sure to pay attention.

Comment:

Dr. Peebles makes science interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed his class. Your grade is based upon several science journal summaries and four tests. He does not take attendance (besides the first two weeks of class). He is a happy guy and tries to make science fun and interesting. I would definitely take him again.
