Appeals to those who couldn't make it into university and think on that level. Only the Holocaust is ever used as an example of mass genocide and fascist-racism; documentaries circa '94(!) shown. Sociology needs relevance to PRESENT issues. Paradoxically, defining terms out fo the text, and she still knocks off marks? Disappointed, very.

For some students ,she was too tough and in your face. If you can handle some adversity, mixed in with very interesting (sometimes controversial) in-class lectures this could be a class for you. You have to show up for lectures with her to pass. Everyone needs to take a course like this one.

Alexis is a very interesting prof. Even though she is a little crazy sometimes, she is a really good prof at the end of the day. You MUST attend her classes to pass because she uses everything in her lectures on the exams, but her lectures are pretty interesting so you wont get bored. I would recommend her if you are able to attend all classes

Dr. Peters is the most disrespectful, ignorant, and preachy teacher I have ever had. She seems unable to separate the teaching material from her own personal opinions.

Alexis is a joke. She keeps describing the Netherlands and Switzerland as progressive societies, when they have banned minarets and elected fascist parties. She talks about the Holocaust as the last genocide in Europe, acting as though Bosnia never happened. The KKK is the main worry,not rabid anti-Muslim hatred. She's dull, ignorant, and strict.

I would not recommend a class with Dr. Peters. It is difficult to obtain a decent mark in the class unless you read all the text and attend all lectures. Her lectures often stray from her main point, and she has many opinions she presents as variable facts. I find a bit peculiar that she does not own a TV and still believes herself in the know.

Alexis is a horrible professor. She spends the majority of her class time discussing her hatred and obsession of the use of technology.

Give her a chance, she is incredibly wise. She seems rude/off-putting at first, but she really isn't. She cares a heck of alot about her students. if you go to class and take good notes her courses are easy. If you skip class you'll do very poor, and she notices that you skip. Go to class, or find a note buddy. Take her, she'll change your life

Without a doubt the most boring professor I've ever had at Mount Royal. She doesn't go over the contents of the actual textbook, her lectures are too dry and pointless, and I don't learn anything. It sucks that I ended up with her for a mandatory course. Her tests are also unfair. 90 question midterms? The other section only had 25 questions :(

Her lectures are interesting, and you can tell by the way she teaches that she's incredibly passionate about the topics. However, she marks fairly hard on the exam, and her exam questions are not very clear. Attendance is a must, as she uses the lecture for the exams questions.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. Dr. P will leave you to teach yourself copious amounts of textbook work & then babble in class w/ her fav students. Lectures are irrelevant to the textbook content which is frustrating. She spends 50 min babbling before beginning her class.

Sociology is counselling from a "biographical dimension" Listen to the personal experience Dr. P gives and find the "sociological imagination" from it. This is how you do sociology.
