He is an interesting guy. He is there to help, but you must do your all your homework if you want ot pass the class.

If you do all the readings and assignments you'll do fine. The way he teaches is understandable. If you have questions to ask about class work, he'll be more than happy to answer them. And surely, you'll understand it better after asking. I didn't take this class expecting to like it,but do now.

The class is a joke but he tries to get us interested in the subject matter.

Great teacher. He knows what he is talking about and if people who dislike him give him a chance they would change their minds. Keep up the great work, Mr. Peldo. and I hope you teach me in another class again.

Great teacher, great guy. He was great inside and outside of class. He was very helpful, and always available in office hours. The Univ class had nothing to do w/ Univ that was the only downfall. He was easy to talk to and was just an all around great teacher to have

Very helpful. He tries to help students as much as possible. Interesting class and many examples to learn from.

He was very fun to learn from. It was my favorit class.

Use his office hours! He is more than willing to help you if you have trouble in class. It's a lot to take in. In class he may seem abrasive, but he's really cool if you go see him during his office hours. I cant emphasize this enough - see him during office hours! You will learn a lot from Peldo.

attendance is mandatory-everyday.class was interesting,some days are worse than others.reading is not required but...make sure you study everything possible for the tests-dont slack.take weekly online quizzes seriously,every point counts!see him in office hours-very helpful!overall this was not a breeze but if you put in the effort you can get an A

Curtis is AMAZING. I hope he sees this because who ever said he's on a "power trip" needs to leave my man alone. I look forward to his classes and wouldn't mind staying over 50 minutes

Professor Peldo is probably the best teacher I have had so far. You can tell he probably knows alot about the material, which makes me feel good. I would take his class again, except he already gave me an A. lucky me

Makes class a little awkward with his sense of humor and way of speaking, but he knows his stuff and he tries to help you understand. Content: B- Delivery:C- Organization: A+

Great teacher, Best I've had in my 3 years of college. Extremely well informed, great delivery, and very passionate about his topic. Critical thinking is extremely interesting and important, he brings it to life. If you don't care to learn don't take the class, or reconsider what you are doing in a University

This course was just for my theme and it took up way more time than my actual major courses (Finance). It is really time consuming and the exams/quizzes are over anything from the books or notes and theres a ton. Tough course, willing to help but I wouldn't recommend it. Only reason I got a B was because the final was online.

This class took up all of my time. It is veryhard to get away with not doing the readings for this class. I also found the exams were near to impossible because they were practically word for word out of the book, not just understanding the material. Overall I have to say that this professor takes his class seriously and is willing to help

Peldo is somewhat cocky at first, but knows a lot and is extremely helpful during office hours. I ended up enjoying his class and passing! Almost all quizzes are online which is nice... Study group! Definitely need to study for the final. Go to class, take notes, see him if you need help and you'll be just fine.

LOVED Pedlo!! I didn't think I would succeed in his course but his guidance and advice helped me land a A in the class. Highly recommend him as a Professor.

really awesome!!

I did not like Peldo's teaching style at all. He is very rude to students and will call on random people in class to answer questions. I do the weekly readings just because I'm scared to be ridiculed if he calls on me and I get it wrong! That said, he is nicer1 on 1. Attendenace is necessary. The tests and in class activities are generally easy.

The class itself is pretty interesting, but a lot of reading and a lot more time consuming than I expected from a GE. Peldo is very knowledgable in what he talks about, but is often rude to students and calls on them randomly. If you are looking to take a critical thinking GE I would suggest taking another course or professor.

Peldo is one knowledgeable professor. Loves to teach this subject. He is funny at times. Uses life stories to relate the lectures. Willing to help you understand the content. He can be concerned if students don't do the reading. He is nice when you talk to him after class. Take him, you will get the most out of him than any prof or the book alone.

He will randomly call on you if you aren't paying attention, so make sure to do the reading and just make sure to participate in class discussions.

Peldo is a very nice person, and is very willing to help you with anything in office hours. The course material can be VERY challenging if you do not do the readings. Textbook is dry, but he explains it very well in lectures. Mainly uses power points (take notes!!), videos (sometimes), & in class activities (don't skip, these make/break your grade)

I ABSOLUTELY loved Philosophy 102 with Peldo. Everyone on this thing complains because he grades hard and is mean. He just doesn't have sympathy for people who arent willing to put in effort!! But he is so inspirational and loves what he teaches. you definitely wont be bored in his class. Take his class if u can !!!!!

My experience with PHIL 10 2 was overall good. Hes actually a really nice guy who cares about his students if you actually take the time to go into office hours before exams. I didn't find the exams necessarily hard but I also put time in. He does a good job of covering everything in class but in able to fully understand you need to read for sure.

The reason why i'm a vegetarian + my favorite professor of all time

Peldo is the best lecturer I've ever sat through. He is engaging, uses lots of examples, and his class is more than understandable. You will learn so much & studying pays off!

Definitely one of my favorite classes. Really opened my eyes to look at things in new ways. He has great lectures and he is entertaining. Take your work/reading seriously and answer questions in class and youll have a good time. Also if you sit in the back corner of the room, you have the highest chance of being called on if no one answers.

Peldo is a great teacher. Yes, he will call you out to answer questions about the material in class. that's why you should keep up with the reading and show up to his lectures. He made Logic interesting by connecting concepts to real-world issues. Some may think he's rude, but I just think he is brutally honest and wants to the best for his student

This class is the reason I picked up a minor in philosophy. At first I thought it was going to be another class I dreaded, but fell in love w/ this class and it truly has to do with the professor. Peldo can be intimidating to students who do not care about the class. However, if you're someone is open minded I highly recommend taking it w/ Peldo.

Curtis Peldo might be one of the best professors I've ever had. He teaches you exactly how you can manipulate language and how being a critical thinker can help you win arguments. PHIL 102 was always the class I looked forward to this semester and I think anyone could enjoy his lectures. The work was hard at first, but it got easier later on.

Peldo is a great professor. He will answer any question that you need, and lectures are usually clear and to the point. Just make sure that you pay attention and listen during lecture

Not the hardest class ever but it won't be a cakewalk. Fortunately, Peldo made it very nice to learn and is great with help outside of class. I really enjoyed it as a freshman and I recommend the class! My only advice is to take notes on all new terms for the tests and exams, it will help you TREMENDOUSLY! Good luck!

Peldo was a GREAT professor! He allowed us 3 chances on all our quizzes which really helped my grade. He doesn't mark attendance but definitely go to class, you will miss out on important lectures and potential extra credit assignments! The class itself was pretty manageable, just study hard and pay attention and you can pass! He was great :)

Good professor overall, brings up a lot of interesting topics. The textbook is cheap and up to date which is cool. He definitely was teaching with his own views in mind towards the end which was interesting.

Professor Peldo in my opinion, is a very good teacher. He is very good at explaining things to make sure everyone understands. The class is based off of tests and quizzes mainly, there was only like two assignments.

Truly a wonderful professor! His lectures were easy to follow and very interesting. It felt like he really cared about each student and wanted us to learn, and he was patient and helpful during office hours. Weekly readings, discussion boards, and in-person quizzes. The quizzes are easy if you do the reading.

This was the best class I have taken at Chico by far. I highly recommend Peldo. You should get a good grade as long as you GO TO CLASS, read the assigned chapter at the beginning of the week before the quiz, and keep up with the discussions (400 words per week). It's easy IMO because it's thought-provoking, and assignments are very interesting.

I LOVED professor Peldo! However, the final is cumulative and his study guide is just a flow chart of things we have learned, I wish I had felt more prepared, but if you attend class, take good notes, and attend office hour then you'll succeed just fine.

The most amazing professor and class. I highly highly recommend taking this class not only for the content but to also experience having Peldo. He is so skilled in his area of work and is obviously very passionate in his job. Show up to class every day and take notes and you will pass this class. That's all you have to do to understand this course.

I highly recommend Peldo's class for Phil 102. His Logic and Critical Thinking lectures were absolutely fantastic and clicked fantastically. I did not read any of the chapters, but his lecturing is so good that you get what you need from that alone. 10/10 would recommend.

At first I wasn't a huge fan of this class but it really grew on me. He is great at lecturing, and is very passionate about this subject. He is very good at his job and he truly wants you to succussed in the class.

i really liked peldo as a professor, he is clearly passionate about what he does and it is quite inspiring. His lectures can get kind of intense and he really does encourage everyone to participate , so make sure you're locked in the whole time. I enjoyed taking his class though

20+ years of lecturing college students. He's a well oiled machine when it comes to lectures. Some students get their feelings hurt because their not reading the book, simply makes examples out of them to the class. Overall top 5 class I've ever taken in college.

Peldo was a very kind and caring professor. Sadly, you can only take handwritten notes in the class now. His lectures are pretty engaging, he always tries to crack a few jokes and make them as entertaining as possible. Attendance isn't necessarily mandatory but your grade will be brought down for missing in class assignments.

loved this guy. Very sweet. Go to class for in class assignments or your grade will drop. Either you understand the class, or you don't, I found it very easy.

Professor Peldo's classes are engaging and informative. While the material can be challenging, his lectures help break it down. Using tools like unstuck ai alongside the textbook can really solidify the concepts. Definitely worthwhile if you're willing to put in the work.

Peldo was a professor who fostered open dialogue between all ways of thinking. Peldo himself is an old school liberal, the ones who embrace free speech and political diversity. Something that's missing in our society. I disagree with the views of many students, but I don't believe they should be shunned. Never take free speech for granted.

Peldo may seem intimidating and a little cynical at times. However, talking to him one-on-one, he's a really nice guy. His lectures may seem long, but they are very interesting and fun. If you need extra help, don't feel afraid to go to his office hours. He is great at reexplaining topics and giving useful practice/advice.

Peldo's lectures are good; they make the material easy to digest and help break down hard concepts. Passionate about the subject and an engaging lecturer. He lets you make up midterms, and his in-class assignments are graded on completion. He allows multiple attempts for Canvas reading quizzes/exercises, and he also provides scans of the readings.
