Comment:
This was the best course I,ve taken at Clark. Highly theoretical but understandable. We used Peet's book and it was perfect. Then he invited us to his house for a party! Even rented a bus to bring some of us. The best party I've ever been to. The guy sang with a jazz band, live. Someone told me that Clark fired him for doing this . Let them know..

Comment:
I had Dr. Peet for Global Society. He is an AMAZING professor. He is so smart, and his lectures are hard to grasp at first but he always ends up resolving them in an interesting way. The reading is not essential as he goes over everything in class. I really enjoyed his class because it was relatively easy and he totally held my attention.

I took Global Soicety & hated Peet at first but honestly it was one of if not the best classes I've had. My TA was amazing & the Peet just has so much knowladgepassion about the material. The text books are written by him and they're confusing but if you read it in his voice it makes way more sense. I use this info in a lot of other classes.

Hmmm what can I say about Peet? Well he is certainly very passionate about what he is teaching. Very knowledgeable as well. If you take this class, make sure you have a solid stance on issues that are discussed. The midterm and final are based upon your opinion. You just need to ensure that you back your argument up with logical reasoning.

Comment:
Dick Peet is great. If you do the readings and think critically during class you'll have a great time. He can be abrasive, but he just likes to argue. On that note, if you can argue with him regarding something that you're passionate about and can really defend your position, he will LOVE you.

This course should be mandatory for all Clark students interested in development. The professor knows the material, and teaches it with passion. Terrific. So its political...big deal.

Very opinionated, surely, but very passionate about the subject matter. May seem intimidating, but it's well worth the effort of putting in the time. A very rewarding class!

Comment:
Peet is an engaging speaker (funny), but don't expect much dialog with him. The TAs are the ones you speak to & grade your papers. Dismissive of religion, presents opinions as facts, & points people out based on nationality & race while making sometimes inappropriate comments. Don't buy Geography of Power, but you'll need Unholy Trinity. Anti-curve

He is extremely opinionated and many students were affected by his opinions and don't take this class if you cant think for yourself but he is great at explaining complicated ideas and theories- he gives a lot of reading but, its not all mandatory or needed

I cant think of any objectives for him. He swears a lot. He thinks his ideas are better that others. Classes are interesting (the material) lots of readings.. ( dont read them all you will go insane.. most of the time he covers all the stuff in class.

Boring, early, and strongly opinionated. While I agree with his opinions a lot, I feel as if I am being indoctrinated. Do not take his class, it is a waste of your time.

Peet is amazing! If you are conservative and religious, he will make fun of your beliefs. However, lovely lovely man and his lectures definitely wake you up in the morning. TA's are usually great and will guide you and help you out.

Meh. Peet presents his opinions as facts. If you differ you need to support your view with evidence. Very tainted history. DO NOT BUY THE BOOKS. Everything is online. A really good lecturer at 9 in the morning. Do not sit in first row. EVER. Take the class it not bad at all.
