Reviews of professor Peter Gratton

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I don't understand why this dude has such a high rating on here, his class is pathetic. The ONLY thing that we do is go over homework. All of his lectures are online, you have to learn everything on your own and the actual class time feels like a waste. Why even show up to class if everything's just going to be online anyway? What a waste!

If you have the choice to take either PHIL201 or statistics, TAKE STATS! This class is unnecessarily hard. Dr. Gratton gives all of these sources that are supposed to help you, but if you aren't familiar with philosophy from the start, it doesn't matter whether you use them or not. So confusing.

Dr. Gratton is great! He will work w/you if you need help. Lectures are good-but he tends to speak fast-only negative thing. Format of this class is all essays, so prepare for lots of reading and writing. *Note-compared to other profs, was actually understanding & kind w/ covid-19 situation going on-so kudos to him for that! :-)

This was a pretty hard class. However, Mr. Gratton was always available to his students even outside of class, in case we ever needed help. It was a very relaxed learning environment. He likes to joke around with his students. Show up, be respectful, ask questions, do your work, and you'll get a B or an A.

I had Gratton for a PHIL 201 class last year, but I didn't really get a good sense of what he was like as a professor. This semester, I really enjoyed his class and felt he actually cared about my success.
