Reviews of professor Peter Pihos

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
really nice guy and extremely interesting class. no textbook, readings could be a bit heavy at times but he's so easygoing that he expects people to not have read everything. around 6 papers total, 3 with around 700 words each. 1 that was split up into 4 sections with a page each, and the midterm and final were 1500 words each. take if you can!

Peter is one of the coolest professors I've had, he really cares about helping you learn. Sometimes he can be a little hard to understand but he is always willing to reword or repeat himself if you ask. Participation definitely keeps the class going, lot of reading but very interesting, and lots of writing but he is there to help with that too

There is reading before every class and they are long as hell but if you do them, class is super easy. You can skip as long as you keep up with the readings and check canvas for essay stuff. You definitely need the books because that's where most of the readings are. Peter on the other hand is super awesome and really funny. Take the Class!

The best professor I ever had. Decent amount of reading, it's a given in any history class. Pihos is passionate, hilarious, and always pushes you to think deeper. There was never a boring day in class. Really genuine and understanding guy!

Dr. P was an amazing professor and is always fun to listen to. He knows a lot about the subject and it shows. Class is not as fun if people don't participate in the discussions. There is also quite a lot of reading, which is necessary to do in order to get a good grade on the essays.

Peter is great! He assigns a lot of really interesting readings that make class discussions dynamic. He is really approachable during class and really cares about supporting his students learn and grow.

really good guy and very passionate about his work. his classes are tough though and his lectures are difficult to find engaging. lots of reading and heavy analysis of those reading is required.
