Reviews of professor Peter Reschke

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If you don't have to take this class, don't. This was honestly one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. And the worst part is it is unnecessarily hard. The amount of reading and assignments every week is ridiculous. This class has potential but is ruined by the difficulty.

this class is boring. He is a really nice guy. But the amount of work you need to do every week is crazy! Reading 3 or 4 scientific articles that are so hard to understand. And assignments that take forever to do are only worth like .4% of your grade. That is the most annoying part. All of the reading assignments and writing are worth so little.

This class is not about infant development, it is an understanding research articles class in disguise-- don't be fooled. Structure is very haphazard but not necessarily "the worst." You will probably not learn anything about infants, but I suppose you may get exposed to what working with researchers is like. It's online, that's all I cared about.

Dr. Reschke is great. I postponed this class until my last semester because all the reviews about "so much reading" scared me off. The reading is literally not bad at all & his entire class is very straightforward. He does not try to trick you. If you just do the reading, you will be set for class, quizzes, and exams. He's a very kind professor.

I loved this course! It is definitely heavier on the homework load- but if you take good notes on the reading (which is all articles/free chapters- no paying for an expensive textbook!) you will be prepared for the test. He really cares that you actually learn applicable material and connects everything very well at the end. Worth the effort!

His class seems overwhelming at first, but is set up to really learn the material. The tests are fair and exactly what you would expect. If you take good notes on the readings, then it is hard to do poorly. He really cares about his students and wants to see everyone succeed. It's quite a bit of work, but very doable.

Honestly I was super excited to learn about infants and how they develop, however this class was a really big disappointment. All you do is read research articles and the class is literally revolved around them. I felt like Professor R didn't teach anything and I was really bummed because I didn't learn much. Sadly, I don't recommend this class

This was the hardest class I have ever taken. He set it up like a graduate-level course and there were over 40 academic articles that we had to read, and fully annotate before class periods. I spent so much time outside of class just reading and the required research paper was very difficult to write. Take this class from someone else if you can!!!
