Reviews of professor Peter Szto

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Szto does not accept late assignments. I was in his mental health course and did not feel that he prioritized the mental health of students. Found he was condescending to classmates and I who had meetings with him. Since I had the ability to choose which extra social work course I wanted to take, I wish I had taken a different class.

Dr. Szto is incredibly interested in his students and having them learn what he teaches. He tried to make the class easy to understand and attach to real life. There is a lot of reading and his mid term and papers have to do with, but if you pay attention to class you will be fine. He will also grade grammar and structure.

I was hesitant to take his class because of his ratings on here but I can say he is an interesting lecturer. He will talk a lot in class but the way he goes about it is interesting and funny. He did not give out many assignments but is pretty flexible. Got 1 assignment every other week. Great sense of humor & a professor that cares about his class.

Szto is a super chill professor. Is a funny guy who talks to us for a purpose not to lecture and read from a textbook. Expectations of assignments are a little confusing but all you have to do is ask. Lenient grader, I asked to incorporate his feedback and then resubmit and he let me. Takes attendance. Chillest professor.

Dr. Szto is extremely biased when it comes to writing. Your grade basically depended on if your opinion lined up with his. I managed to keep an A+ throughout the course but my grade dropped down to a B the last week of the semester from a paper he didnt give clear criteria on. He also spoke to students in a very condescending way.

Honestly could have taught this class better myself. He does not give good feedback at all. All the papers given have the same vague directions & based on the book he put together. Basically gives zero direction on how to do anything and then says your paper is horrible. Absolutely no clarity even after emailing him. NEVER TAKE AGAIN

Provides vague instructions for assignments and grades them harshly. All of the homework assignments have to be 2 pages long, which isn't bad. He won't put page numbers in his rubric, so be aware. The homework is always talking about his book and the author's perspective. You feel like his editor and chief except you're paying him. Not fun.

Peter Szto is legitimately and literally the worst professor I have ever had. We were given one direction that applied to the entire class, instructions were impossible to understand, and speaking to him was a waste of time. During my 4 years of school, this was my worst experience with a professor by far.
