Reviews of professor Brian Peet

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Brian is a great ASL teacher. He is Deaf but will figure out a way to communicate with you if you need to. I have learned a lot from his class and prefer his teaching methods over other ASL professors. I will be taking him for ASL113

I took ASL in high school, but having a deaf teacher really changes the game. I have taken classes from Brian last term, this term, and am enrolled for next term as well. He is very caring and willing to work with students, as well as super funny and interesting to watch sign/tell stories.

Prof. Peet is an excellent teacher and person with a great sense of humor. Fair grader. He is Deaf, and for ASL 1 often used a whiteboard along with teaching in ASL, and in later classes only taught in ASL. Quick to respond by email and the in-class Line group. If you miss 3 zoom classes, you're automatically dropped from class.

Took his first class at Western Oregon University, and he was fantastic. If I can't get into his ASL 102 class at 2 pm I may just take his 8 am instead of trying out a different professor. Super funny, and will do whatever he can to help you understand what the sign is. I really learned a lot and quickly from him.

*DURING PANDEMIC* Peet is chill. All homework/ most of the grades were based on a series of self-paced videos. (Grades reflected effort rather than accuracy.) The "livestream" portion of class provided no beneficial content. However, attendance was factored into the final grade (so skip with caution). This would have been a fine hybrid-class.

When I found out there was no talking in this class I was afraid that it was going to be difficult. But he made the class easy to understand and I actually learned something. I signed up for ASL 112 and im excited to take it again. Assignment wise, its really easy, its not heavy in any aspect. Definitely recommend him as a teacher.

Brian is a great guy, super nice. However, do not take this online. I was forced to do it online because of COVID and it was a nightmare because of his teaching style. The way he presented new topics was confusing. His grading was super harsh as well. Also if you missed 3 zoom classes, you fail the class. Take it in person if anything.

I do not recommend this teacher at all. He is extremely difficult to understand and material is not laid out clearly. Refuses to use Moodle, will only use Canvas. I have not learned anything this entire term in his class.

He is deaf so it is slightly intimidating at first but once you get into the class you will love it and he is a very good at helping you understand if you ask questions!!
