He is an all around great guy, loved taking COR 102 with him - the trip was awesome! Only complaint is that he is a little sketchy when it comes to letting you know what is due when. Grades papers pretty rigorously.

If you don't like Rick, we don't like you! He is one of the most respected professors among the students. I graduated in 2007, and I can still recall so many things he said. I asked him to give me books to read after I graduated, and he brought me into his office, and gave me a few off his own shelf. It's not about the grade! He changed my life

Would read 60+ pages a night and then have a one question quiz the next day. Boring lectures and gets way off topic to often. Very disorganized.

Comment:
One of the most transformative classroom experiences I've had in 4 colleges I've attended. Community building, deep introspection, and a real question of success/failure based on a willingness to self-sacrifice for others. Who can teach this stuff? Dr. McPeak. You must commit 100% to the process...it will change your life. And isn't that the point?

Comment:
He is not available to be talked to if we need him, he assigns homework and books to read but we never go over them in class, very frustrating! He makes no since during class he is very scatter brained and does not stay on one topic for long, he is easily distracted.

Comment:
Bad jokes, boring lectures. He assigns busy work he'll never grade. Lots of reading by Peck (boring). Rarely went to class and still got a B. Anyone can pass if they show up occassionally and complete the busy work. He fills leftover class time with rants on unimportant topics. Lots of group work! Emphasis on (an unattainable)class community.

Comment:
This class definately made me think and the professor is one of a kind. I think taking a course by this professor should be manditory because he really makes you think. I failed a couple tests, but still received an A, so I think he grades fairly, but gives homework and tests that are SUPER hard.

Comment:
McPeak has a very strange teaching style. Most of his classes are subversive. His goal is to open eyes, foster deep thought, frustrate with his lack of structure, and stress with impossible tests. Pretty sure his grading is almost purely subjective. If he can tell you are giving everything you've got, you'll get an A. Test scores are irrelevant.

Comment:
Probably one of the worst classes I've ever taken. The whole community concept that he had us all do was an udder failure. We had a fight break out among students in class once, and he let the disagreement run it's course. The class aside, McPeak really is an awesome guy as a person, and the Chicago trip for COR really is awesome.

Philosophy of Youth Ministry...GREAT Class. Book was only Okay, but whatever...he made it better. McPeak was a great teacher and is always avlaiable to help if you need it. His class was very easy, but somehow I ended up with a "B" in that one...even though all the rest were "A's" lol...Rick McPeak was almost always right on...

Amazing man. Just talk to him. Even if you don't have a class with him, if you ever get a chance, just sit with the man and talk. He challenged me in ways I've never been. His class is definitly not as structured as others, but I liked that about him. It was like he was preaching a sermon every class period, and he's good at it. Be prepared to think and not to leave with the same beliefs as when you came in.

Its an open forum. If you have a question, ask it, and he'll talk about it the whole class. Don't expect structure. If you try you will get a good grade, he is friendly with grading and extra points.

I never wanted to be that introspective of my religiousity, but McPeak made it an enjoyable, and most importantly, worthwhile experience... bonus points for barn parties.
