Comment:

I had Peters for 3713 and 3723 level classes. He is one of the most intelligent professors. He knows his stuff very well. His lectures take the whole time, but it is essential to pay attention. He's a very concrete grader, and everything is in essay format. Your attendance and participation are 100 points in a class of 500-600 pts

Comment:

Dr. Peters is an excellent professor. His lectures are articulate and logical. He expects you to engage in the lecture and keeps track of those who show up. The class is straight forward read about Locke, Rousseau, and John Stuart Mills. Write a paper on each philosopher and the final was tying it all together. He is very knowledgable and relates the material to the current time. If you like philosophy or political theory this class can be mind altering. Very fulfilling class!!!

Comment:

Brilliant professor. Full of knowledge. Knows every doc. on top of his head. Lectures are not monotone. So helpful outside of class. A lot of reading, but grades fairly. Tests are hard but you'll be fine as long as you read. Always admits if he makes mistakes. Definitely recommend taking his classes.

By no means perfect, but great professor. Only complaints I have heard is his audacity to expect students to read. Surprise, welcome to college - this is what it is about, no matter what you heard on MTV. I recommend his foreign policy courses. Well presented and balanced.

Comment:

Lectures seemed dry, frequently disorganized and eccentric. Catalogue describes class as PoliSci The content was all over the place. e.g. compare the western novella Shane to the writings of John Locke. If you agree with his style of conservative politics and wear bolo ties to class you will do well in this class.

Comment:

The class was an hour and fifteen minutes but only allowed sixty minutes for the tests. Hardly any questions come from the lectures. Also, he put in about 180 questions into a pool of questions which the computer draws fifty from for your tests. Not very interesting to listen to but doesn't talk in monotone voice!

Comment:

Great professor. He can be a little disorganized at times, but he always admits when he is wrong. He knows a lot and likes to tell stories. You have to read though because his tests are largely based on the books and his on-line lectures and less on the "in-class" stuff. Very interesting.

Comment:

US Congress Class- Love his lectures because they are deep and brainy. Not a teacher for people who aren't interested in nuts-and-bolts Government/Political Science. He's helpful, open to students, and curbs religiously (but you still have put in the "A effort"). I love the guy, have done his classes twice. Can be dissorganized.

Comment:

Man, this guy knows his stuff. He has the most entertaining lectures. I don't know why the one person said he pulls "I'm the teacher" stuff - he always admits mistakes on the test in class and puts forth every effort to help. Gives interesting paper topics and gives the chance to improve the paper for a final grade!

Comment:

This is a horrible class. He is one of those teachers that is extremely knowledgable but doesnt teach, he just tries to impress the class with what he know. Extremely boring, making it difficult to learn. Tests are far from material covered in class. AVOID!!!

Comment:

Degrades students, types up online tests wrongly and ambiguously. When called out on test not having the correct answer, pulls the "I'm the teacher" card and will not admit mistakes. Be very careful and AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

He's very entertaining and definately knows what he's talking about. As long as you study the powerpoints and read the book the tests aren't too hard. Be prepared for an overload of charts and statistics.
