Reviews of professor Peter McMahan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
50% of your grade is determined by your weekly group discussions, where it's easy to get an A. Although there is a lot of weekly readings (40 pages +) that you have to annotate, it is a very easy and interesting class to take.  The final was almost like a personal reflective response. Would take again for sure!!

An absolute gem, do take him if you can. The readings are required for your grade through perusall, and you need to incorporate them in your group discussions. Hes one of my favourite professors, hes a good lecturer and keeps the class engaged

Actually the nicest prof ever!! The readings are long but relate to the lectures and I found the lectures really interesting in SOCI 210.

Prof McMahan truly loves what he teaches. He's incredibly passionate, patient, and kind. If you don't like team work though, you might wanna skip this one, but if you don't mind it, it's a really fun class!

Dr. McMahan is one of the kindest profs that I have had at McGill. His class did have a significant amount of reading assignments/group papers that needed to be regularly submitted, but the topics were generally interesting, and I learnt a lot very quickly. He is always willing to reexplain concepts and is understanding with extensions. 10/10!

Professor McMcmahan is a good lecturer. Hes accessible and cares about his students and their success. The course was based on group discussions (5-6 students) with only 30 minutes of lecture per class. It was an interesting format that prompted a deeper engagement with the readings. We also used Perusall throughout the semester. Would take again!

This was a great class. The prof really cares about his students and makes his best to teach the material in an easy way. We had weekly group discussions which also helped understand everyhting better and the grading was not tough. Hands down one of the best and nicest profs out there.

The BEST prof ive had. Super kind and caring, is willing to make accommodations without questions, takes time for questions and explains difficult material well. Speaking to him felt like conversing with a friend, absolutely take him if you can, a gem.

He's so sweet and not at all condescending, you'll never feel scared to ask him questions. He accommodated to the pandemic extremely well, and was an absolute gem this semester. Take him if you can, you won't regret it.
