Peters is a great professor. If you have the chance to take a class with him, then do it. He really cares about his students, and while his class was a lot of hard work, if he sees you putting in effort, you will do well.

Mr. Peters is phenomenal! He really cares about his students and wants every student to get an A. Class is completely discussion based and if you do the reading you'll be fine. The only assignments are a writing exercise each week that has some reading, 1 essay, 1 multimedia project, and 1 research paper, no final. Peters is excellent!

All around awesome professor. Prof Peters cares so much about his students and tries to help each one connect to the subject. The workload is very reasonable. Papers are graded fairly with good feedback. Extremely passionate about what he teaches and very knowledgeable about just about everything you could talk about with him.

Mr. Peters is honestly the best and one of the nicest professors. For colloquium, he assigns weekly readings and writing assignments, which are graded based on completion and participating in class discussions. The three major papers are spaced throughout the semester, leaving plenty of time to work on them.

Mr. Peters is, by far, one of my favorite professors I've had at UD. He embodies everything a student wants in a professor: interesting material/lectures, respectable, clear expectations and criteria, humorous, & not too tough on grading. He wants to see students succeed both in his class and beyond. Learned a lot & had a great time in his class!

Really fantastic professor and person in general. He created a very open and relaxing class discussion environment. Definitely one of the more exciting honors English topics and gave good feedback on each paper. Low stress class with a few papers that aren't tough to write.

Dr. Peters is AMAZING! He's so funny and really loves the material he teaches. I had the colloquium, where you do have to write a 500 word paper each week about the reading assigned, but you can BS it and he'll take it. The 2 essays were also fairly easy. Definitely an easy A if you put in minimum effort & participation.

Peters is the best professor I have had at UD! There's a reason why his class filled up in less than a minute. I had his honors E110 on pseudoscience and quackery. The class was discussion based, and we sometimes watched videos from the Onion, which was fun. Peters gave one homework assignment each week, three essays, and a research paper.

It's clear that this guy has a real passion for his trade, and even though he's a kook, you'll love him for it. There are 4 papers total and a 500 word assignment each week, but as long as you put in a decent amount of effort, he'll give you a good grade. Just make sure you participate in class and do the readings.

Ray was a cool prof (he invited us to dinner!). I had Amazing Science Epic Fail with him; it was about technological failures. We had 3 essays, a research paper, and weekly readings. Attend class-he "takes it into account" while grading papers. I don't know if I grew as a writer, but I found the material stimulating.

Really great teacher that feeds off of participation. The honors ENGL sections are small so he knows if you aren't there. Started out not really liking him but he grows on you. Lets you write outside of "normal English class" boundaries. Raise your hand and he'll like you more and let him know if you don't like the books, he will change them.

Peters is one of the greatest professors I've had. His class focuses mostly on discussion and participation so always raise your hand and contribute. He definitely wants to be your friend and genuinely cares about your grade in the class. He'll invite you over for dinner and if you go he'll love you. Just learn what he likes to hear and write it.

Peters was my absolute favorite professor last semester. I took his Art of Medicine colloquium and found it fascinating even though I had no previous interest in the medical field. He really likes participation and class discussion. I'm taking him again this semester for ENGL110 Honors.

He is without a doubt my favorite professor in the English department. A kind, intelligent, and amazing person who will always help out a student. He likes to know his students. He wants to know them on a personal level. Definitely stay in touch with him. I am so angry I can't have him this semester, but I will definitely keep in touch with him.

Mr. Peters is the best teacher EVER! I had him for "Writing About Music." He's so kind and helpful, and it's a very doable course load, He's the director of the Writing Fellows, so you get a upperclassman to help you with your papers. He loves his students and takes the time to get to know each student personally. TAKE THIS CLASS!

Comment:

I took his honors section class about writing about music. It was discussion-based and fairly easy. He expects a lot from the papers so getting a good grade definitely takes work, but if you put in the effort and do the research you'll come out okay. It's a very manageable class that teaches a lot without causing stress.
