he is very intellectual and you could tell he is passionate about the subject..if you slipped in this class then it's not for you.

Professor Peshoff is a great teacher. He's helpful and care about his students. Generally the tests are in class essay and the questions is direct and easy to understand. Highly recommend..

Even though he's new, he's an excellent professor with an open mind in class discussion. He would do what it takes to help you understand the subject. You'll learn a lot from his lectures. 2 tests,1 final exam, and 1 book critique mandatory. Each has 2 essay questions and 5 IDs. Book critique is like any other term papers.

Prof. Peshkoff is one of the best teacher. His lecture are interesting. He try to make students get involve in lectures (He try to play devil's avocate). His exam and paper is standard requirement for any history class. I don't know how people can not get a C or higher in history. They give you the question to the exam a week before to study.

Mr. Peshkoff is a very intelligent and straight forward teacher. A lot of people are saying he's a difficult professor, when in actuality, he's simply just teaching; those who did bad in his class just... weren't smart enough to comprehend his material. It' just like any other class: a quiz every week, two exams, and three papers. That's it!

The epitome of a great college professor. He truly wants students to excel in his class, and this has become my favorite class this semester. He gives you a study guide before each exam (and the study guide is literally the exact same as the exam) so there's no reason not to get an A. Rarely any homework. He's a great professor! highly recommended

Great professor who encourages students to think outside the box. You must put a good effort in writing because you will need to write 3 in class essays plus 2 four page papers. He does give you the essay topics a week advance to prepare for the in class essay.

Wonderful Prof.! He wants you to feel what the character was thinking or feeling, not just recite dates and times in history. He is very helpful, kind and has a passion for not just teaching but making sure you understand what you are reading and how it affects America's attitudes in todays society.I would highly recommend!

Prof. Peshkoff is breath of fresh air. He is straight forward and requires you be the same. He welcomes your feeling and comments during his interactive lectures. He really has passion about history and teaching. He wants students see, feel, and apply past history norms to todays society way of thinking. Excellent!May many blessings be upon him!

Take him you will not regret it! !BRAVO! He encourages asking questions and comments. Very involved with the class. About 4 essays tests, drops lowest score. Where has he been all this time . Wish I could take him for all my other classes!

very kind & intelligent professor.Before his class,I had no interest in history. Really builds your analytical skills,& tries his best to educate you, while not boring you. Gives you the exam one week before,3 exams total which consist of timed essay & ID's. No quizzes,& plenty of extra credit opportunities. Possible to get an A. Fun to listen to.

Great professor! Down to earth kind of guy. Takes in considerations, and does what is best for his students. Book is used, so I recommend buying it. Other history teachers treat you as if you are a history major, and are very hard. Peshkoff is very understanding. Take him!

This professor is really down to earth and he is passionate about what he teaches. He is a very fair man and encourages his students to think outside the box. I found myself loving his class and wish that I needed more classes that he taught. He encourages questions and he is always willing to help. He is an awesome teacher and an awesome man.

not only is he easy on the eyes, he's arguably the best history teacher there. I wouldn't say that is class is easy, however is clear that he's passionate about the topic, and wants to make sure that you both learn the material and UNDERSTAND the social conditions as they pertain to both past and present. he also does not want to see anyone fail.

Professor Peshkoff is one of the best out there, REALLY passionate about teaching. He shows that he cares a lot about his students because he constantly pushes you to do your work. It's hard to fail because he's really clear about what he want's done. Gives you 2 prompts before actual Test. Put a little of effort and you'll pass with at least a B.

He's SO easy and SO cool. If you ask for help he'll give it to you and his workload is close to nothing. 3 exams which he gives you the questions for a week before the time and an 8 page paper.

I wish there were more professors as passionate as Peshkoff out there. He is, hands down, the best professor that taught me. I've learned so much from him, and he inspired me to be the best that I possibly can be. My gratitude and appreciation is beyond words!

Easily one of the best professors I have ever had. He is a passionate teacher and gets into his subject so its easy to pay attention. He is always willing to help you as much as he can. People complaining about him being tough clearly were just hoping for an easy A without having to do anything. If you take notes and study you can pass easily.

Peshkoff is a great teacher. Do read the book because his exams are mostly based on readings. He's very clear on what he wants, but if you need clarification or help, then he's there for you, just ask. And don't leave big assignments for the last minute! I really enjoyed his lectures, he makes them very interesting and likes participation.

Peshkoff is easily the most though-provoking professor I've ever had. He's passionate about what he does. It's not an easy A, so don't take his class if that's what you're looking for. It's hard work, but I found myself genuinely interested in subjects & events I had never taken a particular liking to. Plus, he was too hot to not try to impress.

Great professor

He has passion for the subject, and his students. He comes off very strong but it's only because he wants you to get it. He expects you to work hard for the knowledge you signed up for. I would take him again, and again... you would never leave class saying he doesn't offer you all that he has in this subject.

Very passionate about history! you ACTUALLY use the required books and if you're not that into history (like me) you may not enjoy this class as much. I busted my ass and was crying towards finals lol. although this class CAN be an easy A, you DO have to put effort into the class. Heavy note taking and professor gives really good feedback on work.

Peshkoff is an amazing professor who is extremely passionate about history. While his liberal bias shows at times, it does not affect his ability to teach the information. Highly recommended, especially if you hate history like I did. He makes the subject quite interesting, and he will make you think.

Pros: - Knows His Material - Great Feedback - Holds Students Accountable Cons: - Midterm: 2 essays and 4 definitions - Eng 300 should be MANDATORY before taking this class, he likes academic papers. Suggestions: - Be prepared for the analytical paper (research paper, develop abstract question.) - DO NOT MISS HIS CLASS

Peshkoff was an awesome professor. He really wants you to know the stuff that he is teaching on and has a real love for the subject. Missing assignment is a no-no though, miss one assignment and it hurts your grade; however assignments were easily and focused mainly on your personal perspective of the subject matter. I would totally take him again!

Although the work load is heavy as long as you stay up in reading , the should be easy. He gives great lectures very intuitive and passionate. Offers extra credit.

Honestly the class was really enjoyable and I learned a lot from Professor Peshkoff. He teaches his class exactly how every college professor should. If you don't show up it is up to you to get notes, plain and simple. You are the master of your own destiny and he lives by that with his class. Real funny and chill guy.

His lectures are the best! He's hilarious and I was always really engaged. Don't miss class, because he cares about attendance. Do the work and the reading and you should be Golden. He's truly a Gem and I can honestly say out of all the classes I've taken he has been my favorite professor. I am leaving this class enlightened and it was impactful.

Professor Peshkoff is an amazing lecturer. Highly recommend him.

I took Peshkoff for a second class, and he was just as great. Very smart, very passionate, and loves talking about the subject. I was not a history fan in high school, but this professor gave me a new appreciation for the stories of our nation. He will keep you engaged in class.

great yeacher to have. His lectures and advice are even thoughtful as well. highly recommend you take his class.

Very passionate about history, I loved his lectures and would take any of his classes again. He is an amazing professor, I wish everyone could experience taking at least one of his classes!

great teacher, have alot of fun with him this year i am taking 2 more of his class in the spring. be ready to work in his class tho.

Very open and unbiased. Awesome lectures.

Alexander Peshkoff is an amazing History Professor. His lectures are amazing. Attendance is mandatory. Ready to read long chapters but not that hard. He is always ready to help his students. Just one research paper, 1 class written paper, 2 writings, few class quizzes which are very easy. He is the best choice for history. Gives Extra Credit :)

My favorite professor at CRC! The readings are very interesting and if you do the readings you'll be fine in class. Do the work and you won't have a problem. Very inspirational professor. He wants you to participate and ask questions. Would definitely take him again.

Recommend everyone who is taking hist321 take it with Peshkoff he is the best!

Professor Peshkoff is one of those professors you can immediately tell that they love their job. Goes into great detail in lectures and provides unbiased opinions. Helpful and understanding. Ties in history with current events and explains why its important. Some online reading and online quizzes, with short writing assignments.

Professor Peshkoff is a really great professor and he likes to help the students in the class. I would highly recommend you taking this class.

He is the best Professor ever!

Great teacher, grades fairly. There's a good amount of work but it's manageable. Interesting to talk to. If you don't do your work, you won't pass but as long as you put in actual effort, it's an easy grade. Some information presented on the Mexica civilization is inaccurate, but even academic journals are littered with inaccuracies in that area.

I really enjoyed this class and it really helped me to see the world in a new light. He cares a lot about his students and even threw away a quiz that we all did horribly out. He truly is trying to make a difference in the world.

Peshkoff is not an easy A. He expects you to put in the work b/c it IS a college course. Participation matters. He WILL call on you because without in class discussion class can get stagnant. Discourse helps you learn, utilize it instead of hiding from it. I really enjoyed this class & plan to take him again.

had him for summer history. great professor and get ready for those long lectures. i also recorded his lectures for better understanding. participate too. just had 2 exams and the rest was online assignments and quizzes.

Caring in the sense that he cares about your education and understanding about African American History. It's obvious he cares alot about the subject he teaches and likes to randomly call on students to ask them questions. Reading before a quiz really helps. Graded on small quizzes, research paper, and midterm + final.

I recommend anyone to take any of his classes about African American history. This class has opened my eyes to a new way of thinking. With everything that is going on right now, I understand the frustrations of the black community. This has been going on for years. Thanks for teaching this class and honoring the voice of the black community!

Professor Peshkoff is intelligent, professional, yet approachable and wise. His lectures are AMAZING and leave you wanting more! He genuinely cares about his students, and is available if you need encouragement, advice, or simply an empathetic ear. I love him, and am forever grateful for the knowledge that changed my life for the better.

Hes understanding straight to the point and available to answer any questions.

I'm so happy I took African American history & with professor Peshkoff, he's very passionate & I enjoyed all of the material we went over I learned a lot about history. He has the normal quizzes, tests, & papers due you just have to be involved & read the material & you will do fine. He's always available if you ask for help & schedule a time.

He's helpful and passionate about the subject. It's a shame he doesn't really have office hours though. I think his class would be a lot better in-person and not online. But, he's a nice guy and the course is very interesting.

He grades slow but it's because he leaves honest feed back. You WILL use your book a lot especially for Midterms and Finals. Quite particular in what he wants in assignments so pay attention. He is an honest grader and responds FAST to emails. Honestly he's a really good online teacher and people who complain need to work harder.

He is great. There is a textbook and a book needed for this class. He posts two lectures a week, from 25-40 minutes long. He gives PLENTY of time for all assignments. There are 10 chapter quizzes, and most of the answers are online. There are two major papers, the midterm and the final. He gives good feedback and is an easy grader.

Recommend! Took him yr2022, hes do lecture notes definitely helps with class book, which is super easy read he did maybe 4 quizzes super easy! And 1 mid term 1 final. Lecture notes not required but do help with reading progress 10/10 you wont be disappointed. It seems like a lot but when you really think about it but super easy

Prof. Peshkoff is passionate about what he teaches. I took his US HIST: African American emphasis and it was extremely though provoking. His lectures were deep and mind-opening. It definitely challenges you to think about the implications of the past to the present. He does assign a lot of essay and takes too long grading them. But, he's awesome!

There are gonna be a lot of in-class discussions based off the books that you read, as well as papers (2 book critiques and one ten-page research paper alongside a 15 minute presentation about the paper). As long as you read and come to class with discussion points you should be fine, he tries his best to help and guide you during the discussions.

I believe it was a great choice to choose this class as a building block for my future education. It was truly a great experience to learn from professor Peshfoff and I hope someday I get the opportunity to learn from him again.

Anybody who takes this class beware of the professor checking the online lectures. Professor Peshkoff is strict and he knows who watches the lectures and who doesn't watch them. He does give extra credit work and he is understanding if you are dealing with unfortunate family emergencies. I passed his class with a C and prayer. Good Luck everyone.

Professor Peshkoff was amazing. He's humorous, engaging, and helpful. I was a little nervous as this was my first semester in college, but he gave good feedback. There was a lot of heavy reading and a few assignments, but I had no trouble completing them. He also gave us the final week before it was done, so I had a lot of time to prepare. Take him

Great Professor, was super helpful and informative. A LOTTTT of information to take in class but it's amazing. I would most definitely take the class again. He's super into what he teaches and actually puts in effort. I actually enjoyed this semester of History a lot more than I expected and would def take it again with him. This is a great class!

Peshkoff was an amazing professor! Definitely tough but you'll learn a lot about history, politics, and government. He's willing to discuss any political issue whether historical or contemporary. He's also humorous and doesn't hold back when critiquing politicians. One thing to watch out for is cold-calling. If you read you'll be safe

Excellent Professor, gave excellent feedback and always had fun lectures to come to especially early in the morning.

Literally the best professor I have ever had. He's so funny and understands that college is new to you, and gives so much grace. His class is so interesting, and he lectures so well that it makes me want to go to school. There are only 5 or 6 assignments in the whole semester, and they're only essays that aren't too bad.
