Comment:

Extremely difficult to follow lectures. Class definitely was mandatory at first then he decided to change it when students complained. Quite passive aggressive. Exams leave everyone confused. I passed but I dont know how. He did his best during the circumstances of the pandemic.

He cares about attendance, and about you actually being present while you're in the classroom. This meant no cellphones/texting. If you paid attention, you wouldn't even want to look at your phone. He had some amazing articles, and very interesting discussions. He really got us thinking about very important, relevant issues in today's world.

Peter is truly the best professor at Georgia State. I had him for both Contemporary and Modern Political Philosophy, he makes class so intriguing and mind-opening. Its been a semester and summer since I last had him & he still recognizes and acknowledges me when he sees me on campus. Hes a total gem, (and extremely handsome)

Comment:

The coolest professor I ever had in my life. Coming back to school after 6years was tough , however, Professor Lindsay made me enjoy college again and want to learn. You will read between couple more books but they are small and very readable like Marx Machiavelli Mill Locke. The class discussions were awesome and something to look forward to.

Comment:

Dr. Lindsay is one of three of my favorite professors at GSU. I recently took his course and it was intricate and very detailed. He opened my eyes to philosophy on a political level and changed my mind of many issues I thought I knew. I enjoyed the articles he assigned although extremely long. His guest speakers showed us how blind we really are.

Comment:

Probably one of the the best professors I've ever had. He engages his students CONSTANTLY. His lectures take the form of discussions guided by the invisible hand of a true professional. He posts lectures online so you can review class discussions (great for those with ADD). He makes the material and engaging, and applicable. 9/10 Would take again.

One of my favorite professors I've ever had. He generates a ton of interesting discussion for his class. You have to do a lot of the reading to do well on his tests, but they're not impossible - very straight forward. Take him if you have the chance, he is awesome.

His class was incredible. He is an outstanding lecturer and knows ways to engage the class and provoke thoughts. It is important to go to everyone of his classes. What he says about what you read helps with the understanding of the material and studying for the test. He is nice and flexible. Put some effort in and u can have an A. TAKE HIS CLASS!!!

He's very, very smart and knows his stuff. He makes several good points and knows what questions to ask you to make you really consider why you believe what you believe. a bit of a smart mouth though...

He is a great teacher, it doesn't matter you never cared for Phylosophy, he is so cool you will love at the end, you will pass but he hardly ever gives out an A, unless you deserve it
