Reviews of professor Aaron Peeksmease

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
You can tell he loves what he does. He makes the class very interesting to attend. He does assign some work, and he is a tedious grader but if you really try on the assignment you will get a good grade.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is very passionate about the material. You have to go to class since he does not post PowerPoints and the tests are based on his lectures. You will learn a lot but I would not consider this an easy A. The tests are difficult, very conceptual based with a few question on statistics or data shown in class. Very few assignments.

This is not an easy class to pass, must pay close attention to lectures and any small details in the videos and textbook readings that he asks you to look at the night before class since there are very often pop quizzes with only 2 questions so its pass or fail.

I REALLY have enjoyed Peeks lectures, he is very very passionate and engaged. The quizzes were certainly not my favorite, make sure to take notes on every slide, chart, statistic because some of the questions are VERY specific. Attendance is not mandatory but I highly recommend you go to class. Otherwise I reccomend this professor, he is great.

When others say this is not an easy gen-ed they are spot on. Great guy and great lectures. Super funny and has a great beard but ease up on the grading. Lowered my gpa and gen-eds shouldnt do that. Id still recommend the class though bc he is basically the best professor I ever had.

Professor Peeksmease was easily the greatest lecturer ive ever had! Hes incredibly engaging and funny during lectures. Attendance is mandatory as most content is lecture based. Stay on top of assignments and youll be fine. I would recommend him to anyone hes incredibly well spoken.

Peeks is a fantastic person, you can tell he loves what hes teaching, but class is challenging and you have to work for it. 2 question quizzes on reading, not much homework, tests are super specific to remembering information on graphs, maps, or charts. one group project thats tedious but not bad. textbook is online and only $1 a chapter.

Yeahhhhh dont take this class if youre looking for an easy gen-ed. I loved Peeks and his lectures were super interesting and engaging, but the tests were kind of ridiculously specific and I felt that they didnt truly test your understanding of the material but rather how CLOSE attention you paid in the lectures. I studied MANY hours for tests.

he is GREAT. Lectures are always interesting. You'll have to purchase some readings online but it's $1/chapter. He gives frequent pop quizzes but if you pay attention in lectures and do the readings, they are easy A's. The only qualm I have is that he sometimes uses outdated terms, like "American Indians" when referring to Indigenous populations.
