Reviews of professor Daniel Peretti

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Posts all recordings of lectures and only a handful of assignments none of which are hard. The only issue I had with him was when I asked him to elaborate more on one of the assignments as I did not have a good understanding of what he expected he simply told me everything was posted which did not help. Other than that I would recommend him 100%

Perretti is a pretty nice guy who records his lectures so you don't have to worry about missing class.He is not very clear on what he wants on assignments/essays and doesn't give much or any feedback. He is not very organized when it comes to due dates. He can be a tough grader and does not explain very well on what he wants to see from your paper

This is my third time having Dan Peretti and he never disappoints! He is an incredibly caring prof who cares so much for both his students and the material he teaches. He makes a great effort to provide entertaining information in his lectures and always puts a smile on my face. A fair grader as well. Easily my favourite prof in all of MUN!

If you are a laid back student looking for a professor who is flexible with deadlines and a class you can often skip, I highly recommend FOLK 1000 with Peretti. However, If you are looking for an organized prof who gives clear instruction on assignments, engaging lectures, and ANY feedback on graded work, do not expect this from his class.

enjoyed the class. many readings, some short (only a few pages) a few longer (20 pages) but interesting in my opinion.he uplaods his slides but if you skip class, you would probably have a hard time. 3 papers, one final paper, a midterm and a final seem a bit much for an intro class. not always the clearest on what he wants from assignments

He is a really nice guy and very flexible with due dates. However, it is difficult to get an A in this course even if you work hard, as he's a very tough grader. He pretty much expects his students to have a phd in folklore, which is ridiculous as the majority of the class takes it as a GPA boosting elective.

His rubrics are vague and he grades tough. Will not provide thorough feedback so you can improve. Admitted that he withholds information from brightspace and only provides this information to students who attend class as a way to punish those who can not make it. Avoid this prof. GPA killer.

Dan Peretti is a pretty chill guy. His lectures are very interesting (especially synchronous lectures). The couse covers some cool topics too. He super relaxed about due dates for assignments too.
