Professor Peek is a great English professor. Since ENGL100 is ENGL 50 & 101 combined. I took it the first semester it started. She gives 4 essays which are really easy to do and a lot of reading. You need to annotate the reading but you can easily write a bunch of BS through it. She is awesome and doesnt give a damn. WOULD RECOMMEND! SHE CARES!!!

I wish she had assigned the readings earlier on in the semester and been more organized with the structure of her curriculum. Although it is somewhat of a new English class she is rather strict and leaves no leeway to accredit any effort put in whatsoever.

I took this teacher for summer semester online English 101. She is all very unorganized and all over the place. She gives no feedback on essays turned in until its to late. She has you read tons of articles and something is due eveyday with not enough time. She grades extremely hard as if youre going to be an English major.

Some may think she is a harsh grader, but if your taking her for eng 100 or even 101 then her feedback on your mistakes is important, how else will you learn? Show up, put effort in, do your homework and you'll be fine.

Yes, it was a lot of reading, annotating, and writing. Besides that Professor Peek was DEDICATED to helping her students pass. She gave feedback and ALOT of extra credit. Overall, a passionate teacher that does care about students learning experience. Some say she is a tough grader but she is FAIR and wants the material to be learned correctly!

Very awful professor to have. Gives so much homework every night and not enough time to complete it. She also does not answer emails or explain things very well. This class is so so so hard. I literally dread logging in. I wish I came on here and looked at her ratings before signing up for this class.

There is no doubt that professor Peek makes you work for your grade. Although, the work is not too hard if you make sure not to procrastinate. Her grading system is a little different compared to other professors, but she is an overall amazing professor. I would highly recommend taking her class.

I took the online 5wk class in the summer. There was an essay due at the end of each wk. We had discussion boards due pretty much everyday. There's quite a bit of reading & annotating, but it helps write the essay. She's really nice and she doesn't grade harshly, but she does give good feedback.

Weird grading system. Took this class when the COVID-19 outbreak happened and we all had to go online. Finished the semester super strong, but because of a few missing assignments from months ago, I landed a C. Make sure you do EVERY assignment, because it's either completed or not, and that weighs heavy on your grade.

Having Professor Peek for English 101 was a mixed bag. At times it felt as if she was disorganized, and a little bit flustered. She is fairly difficult when it comes to grading. The tone of the class is centered around social justice. That didn't bother me, but you may not be expecting that. For what it's worth, she genuinely seems like she cares.

She's probably worst professor I've ever had. Not particularly hard. She grades very hard but doesn't give good enough feedback to improve. Maybe it was just because it was a five week class, but take literally any other professor if you can. If you want to actually learn how to improve your writing, do not take this class with her.

I had Professor Peek for ENGL 101 during a 5 week summer course and it wasn't too bad. Yes, it was fast paced, but all she's looking for is for you to follow her instructions and put in effort. Pay attention to your MLA formatting and turn in things on time and you'll pass. She offered a lot of extra credit too, and good feedback. Good luck!

I took Professor Peeks English 101 class over the summer. She cares about her students success so if you have questions EMAIL HER she replies quickly. She is a harsh grader so you have to put your all in this class. If you set a time to read the assigned articles, do the work and ask questions you will succeed in her class! I would recommend her :)

Does not keep to her syllabus and changes the rules around. Your whole grade depends on what she 'feels like' you deserve. I kept a low B high C the whole semester but she automatically failed me because I did not do one assignment. I have to retake the whole class now because of her faulty grading system.

She stuck to the syllabus and modules but was the most passive aggressive professor Ive ever had. Other students would publicly post on discussion boards how she doesnt help them enough. She would have us grade ourselves and tell her what we think we deserve. Id kept an A all semester long and was changed at the very end to a C.

If you miss even one detail on your assignment she will give you a zero. She is happy to fail you, when I was signing up for this class I did not expect for such a horrible experience. She will assign something every single day of the week and each have 2 parts that also have different due dates. DO NOT TAKE ! No extra credit or kindness.

I got an A in this class, but I had to work really hard for it. Which isnt a problem, but Professor Peek is often condescending and can come off rudely when you ask questions. She is a VERY tough grader. She does offer a lot of extra credit. A lot of reading + homework. Do the work, make sure you read directions, and youll pass.

Professor Peek discourages students from pursuing their educational goals. In an effort to demonstrate her intelligence, she calls students lazy in feedback. Professor Peek also enjoys criticizing students' efforts and doesn't always make it clear what she expects of them. Overall, she is a bad teacher.avoid taking her class.

I'm barely a month into the semester and all I can say is that this is the worst professor ever. She claims to "teach you skills" when all we have been doing is annotations on hypothesis. She expects 2 summaries of 400 words every week. She is a very tough grader and will leave the most passive-aggressive comments on your assignment
