Reviews of professor Alec Petsche

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This is the best professor at SMU. Hands down he knows what he's doing and he's good at it.

This was definitely my easiest class and one of my favorite professors. He understands that the good majority of students are only taking this class because it's required and tries to make classes fun. You'll talk about the most random things in the class and will get out early every day. Easy A.

Coming from high school I hated English or anything to do with writing just because it's so subjective and honestly it just wasn't fun for me. After taking this class I actually enjoy writing now, the stuff he teaches is super easy to understand the way he teaches it and he gives the best feedback on essays; his critique isn't to be snobby.

Funny guy. I had 3 essays and 1 other assignment in his course. He wants to help you. and grades pretty easy. Don't be afraid to ask questions, even the dumb ones. He's a little sarcastic and makes a lot of jokes.

Easily one of the best teachers at SMU. Alec makes the classroom a laid back environment where learning feels more like a conversation than teaching. He does not give a lot of work but when he does make sure you do it because he only assigns meaningful topics. Love the class and every quirky tangent Alec gets us on.

My favorite teacher. He's really nice and funny and he has lots of good input. He is a fair grader and is one of the most qualified teachers regardless of his age. Best guy and an even better teacher.

Alec was shy at first but has quickly become my favorite professor at SMU. He is honest, funny, and is not afraid to deviate away from planned curriculum to pursue a topic of discussion more applicable to the students. He has also greatly improved my writing capabilities and always gives great feedback/suggestions. trust me, if you can, take him.
