Reviews of professor Daniel Peretti

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I thoroughly enjoyed this course, all the material that he taught was very interesting and he kept the whole class engaged every lecture. By far the best prof I have ever learned from! Would 10/10 take another class from him again.

Dan Peretti is a good guy and a great prof. His lectures were very engaging and interesting, however, he is a very tough grader so it is hard to get an A. The workload is also very large for a course 95% of people take for an easy elective (3 collections, midterm, 5+ page paper AND a final). But other than that, I would 100% take this course again.

Dr. Peretti is a really nice and caring guy. Wants you to succeed in his course and help you out when he can. Tough grader and doesn't give much feedback so harder to improve your grade. Midterm and final were online which was nice but the other assignments took A LOT of time and work. Overall really nice guy and pretty good lectures.

though it was an in-person course, he recorded every class with his Handycam and posted it on d2l. The lectures were good. Flexible with deadlines and a good grader.

He is too passionate about Folklore, and expects very high level work from students. He thinks hes doing the bare minimum, but each assignment got 4-5 parts. i have worked hard for every assignment so far but have never been able to please him. I took it as an easy elective and all it has been is an anxiety for me

Professor Peretti is clearly very passionate about folklore and his lectures are always very engaging, never dull. He is a bit of a tough grader but assignments are always interesting. If you are interested in studying folklore I would definitely recommend taking a class from him. Attendance is important. Great Professor overall.

Maybe the worst thing i have ever did by doing this course. It's got 5 papers. One midterm and final exam with full of definition. For a elective this much of work? And grading is very tough. Just avoid the course.

Peretti is an overall well-rounded guy, his lectures are interesting and you can tell he has a passion for the material he covers. He is a bit of a tough grader when it comes to papers and feedback lacked much depth, but the assignments were overall enjoyable. He even took some time before the completion of the final to ask how  he could improve!
