Do not take his class!! He's horrible and will make you write tons of papers. He is so cocky throughout class and thinks he's better than everyone. If he don't have chemistry with him, don't expect an A.
Quite an Ego, possibly deserved, but somehow he doesn't understand that, to many of the students, this is just another class. His lecture is clear, the information facinating. There is a lot of homework, and imho, its too personal--he expects you to make major life changes and grades you on it.
After a year and a half at State he is still one of the best profs. You will have to work in this class. There is little or no wasted time in lecture (which is good in a night class). He is an expert in his field. The class is very interesting if you are willing to work.
Very informative and useful.(I'm an EE Major) 2 papers w/ 7+ pages. Midterm & final he picks 4 of 12 essay questions. U only need to write on 3 of them. This class is very time consuming! but is worth the resutls if u do the work. Only probelm: He seems to dispise hospitals and doctors.
Class was decieving and not interesting at all
You can easily **** your way through this class. Homewrok is easy and so are the tests. Interesting lectures and topics. Just put a little effort you'll get an A or B. Halla!
No Comments
He is an okie teacher. Grading is based on 2 papers, 1 midterm, and a final. 25% each item. There are 12 questions he gives u and on the tests 3 of the 4 of the questions you are supoose to answer. The amt of books he makes is crazy. ask for extra credit if u need to boost up your grade. you learn some interesting tidbits in this class.
Highly knowledgable and if you take this class seriously or even semi seriously you will learn a great deal about techniques to help yourself relax and overall be and feel healthier.
Dr. Peper is incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the content of his courses. The serious student will really get a lot out of his classes and exercises and will learn many methods for selfcare. An extremely experiential course.
Professor Peper is one of the more interesting lecturers on campus, if you enjoy HH material. I don't reccomend taking this class if you're looking for an easy A-won't happen! Lots of hmwk, two 7+pg papers, 1 midterm, 1 final.
I agree with the rating below! Peper is egotistical. Thank God I also got a B! My main problem with Peper was the Midterm. He asked us to write on three questions, worth 8 pts each. He specifically said, "I don't have a specific length-just write." That's what I did- I wrote on forever. You can't BS in his class. He gave me an F on the Midterm
What a horrible professor. I have never met a professor that was as arrogant as Erik Pepper. His class is boring, he is a terrible lecturer, and he is without a doubt the most arrogant and condescending professor that I have had in my entire academic career. Do yourself a favor, take someone else for your holistic health requirements!
Dr Peper is really great and the class is packed with wonderful information. It is a lot of work to gather the information and regurgitate it for the tests! The books are very interesting, do ready them they will be on the tests. The papers are not too hard but graded intensely.
Reviews regarding his massive ego are accurate. Do not expect an A if you are not an HH major familiar with new age jargon. I have straight A's at SFSU except for a B- in this class. Guest lecturers were much more interesting than he was. His grading system (if he even has a system) is BS.
Interesting material but lecturing style can be rushed and all over the place. Way too much reading to keep up with. Exams and essays take much time/effort.
I have no idea how I received the grade in his class. I missed one class, wrote all papers and studied hard for his tests. He was not clear as to his guidelines regarding grading so I can't even tell you what I did wrong. Credit/No credit if you aren't a HH major, otherwise kiss your good GPA goodbye.
he's cool. sort of condescending and puts you on the spot a bit but he's not bad. just do the exercises (they're easy and actually good for you) the papers are based on the assignments, they're easy but time consuming. midterm/final can be scary but just use the internet. that's what I did. the books are ok but not necessary to do well in class.
I agree w/ what everyone says. Interesting subject but as a teacher did not know how to teach it. Way too much required reading and a lot of exercises that you can just make up. I hate how he lectures because he just rushes through the slides w/out letting you take notes and just says "its in the books." Made me want to change my hh minor =(
I'm not going to lie, I studied really hard for the midterm, but didn't do the readings, and my grade reflected that. I got a B, which isn't too bad. His class is hard, but thats college people. Quit making personal attacks on Peper and just do the work. Ask questions if you're confused. He's helpful, friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable.
Really hard teacher. Too much reading for tests. Grades really hard and then blows you off when you try to ask questions after class. Basically, he'll talk to you if he likes you, otherwise your out of luck.
Lectures were obscure and seemed like more of a supplement to the readings than vice versa.
He grades on weekly assignments, two accumulative papers of those assignments, the midterm and the final. He assigned something like 12 mandatory books but I did not open one. Name of the game: how well can you BS. Sit through the horribly long lectures instead of spending over $100 on books. Your choice, you need to do one or the other to pass.
WACK.. cant teach. stupid classes. complains about doctors not having good relationships with their patients, he needs to learn how to teach...........run...................
Peper is the hardest teacher in the HH dept, so people accustomed to easy A's get perturbed by what he asks of students (along with having a demeneor that makes some uncomfortable). I personally disagreed with a few of the things he taught and had to work quite hard, but once I got past that he was one of the most instructive teachers I had.
good class. easy. homework every week thats pretty easy. My biggest problem with this class was he made our first exam on the day we had to choose c/nc. i freaked out about how i did on the essay exam, took the class for c/nc, then 2 weeks later when we got our exam back, i actually got an A on it. The test shouldve been earlier to help students.
Peper is a fun guy, very into his material. The class isn't especially difficult, but there is a ton of work. If you can actually set aside 20 minutes a week to do the exercises then you'll do fine. Don't let the insane amount of books scare you either, most of the questions on the test are pretty straight forward and he gives the questions early
This class felt like a drag most of the time. The lectures felt dragged out and the powerpoint lectures were extremely fast paced. The exams werent so bad as long as you did the readings (a lot of reading!!). He's a really nice guy and is really laid back but overall, it was an okay class and I probably wont take him again.
I absolutely hated this class. There was so much reading that no full time student could complete. All of his lectures where him reading poems or reading off statistics that you had to remember for the tests.He is a hard grader and I thought I would fail the class, but somehow I got an A (no complaints there). I got nothing out of this class.
This teacher is worthless as an educator. He spent the majority of the class talking about himself and mocking students who asked questions. He does not clearly outline his expectations and is very condescending. I would not recommend anyone take this class!!!
Peper is passionate, however his style of lecturing tends to drag the class down. The material is great, but too excessive (too many books to read, daily workbook exercises are not practical). Basically, even the most honest and enthusiastic student will need to BS some of the homework and exams. Overall, not a bad professor, but far from great.
Save yourself the time and do not bother to take this class with this teacher. One of the main focuses of the class is to treat the body as a whole with stress relieving in mind. I have never felt so stressed because of a class. Too many books, not enough focus on the material...hes into himself btw. Expects too much especially with reading.
I came late to an exam and he totaly lectured me about how I would get an "F" if I was late next time. He never ever mentioned his late policy for exams in class. I get the fact that he has rules but he was so rude about it. I also experienced other encounters with him and he put off this rude vibe. He just made me stressed! Practice what you Preac
His class was intresting at some points and a drag at other moments. This class is better for HH minors because you will be able to grasp the content better. Didn't have any test except midterm and final. They ae easy if you study for them. If you are taking just for a segment three then you might not care about it too much.
He loves his job however makes our life difficult by giving lengthy boring lecture which has no relevane to the exam material whatsoever. He makes u buy 5-6 books n only uses 1 book for practice and assignments. So pls dont waste ur money on it. For exams just google the night before on the questions he hands out and u will get A, he lus long ans.
His(!) book says some of his therapeutic techniques may be harmful and you should skip them if they cause you discomfort, but miss an assignment and he'll say you are "wasting his time", and tell you that he doesn't care if you fail. Expects you to practice relaxation techniques, and log your experiences: Everyone I spoke to made up ALL their data.
He's tough but fair. The class is a lot of work and there's a lot of reading. But the reading is valuable and you can get away with just reading a bit and getting the big picture and examples. The class has a lot of valuable info and is worth it! My advice- take it CR/NC and just enjoy the info at your own pace.
DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS unless this is your major. I like what I learn,but Dr.Pepper is not a good TEACHER.He knows a lot but he does not know how to grade or interact with students.If you ask a question he cuts you off mid-sentence and tells you what.thinks you want to hear.Very short with students and really doesn't care about how well we do.
F- It's like the lecture and exams are completely un-related. Provides ZERO feedback on all homework. ZERO info on why you got a specific grade. After the midterm he provided no feedback on how we did other than "they were all really bad". If they are all really bad usually that means the teacher is to blame for not providing clear instructions.
Studying for the final right now. Went to the study group, did all reading, went to all classes. I and others in this class have no idea what he is expecting us to say for our in class essays. We have no clue how he grades and he never gave an example of what he was looking for as an answer. Stay away from this teacher!
If you take this class you will end up coming back here after the midterm and wish that you had listened to the bad reviews. If you are not a HH major and care about your GPA stay away from this class. All of the students lost interest after the whole class failed the midterm. "You all did really bad" said the teacher, whose fault it was we failed.
Dr. Peper is a very lazy man. He doesn't answer questions after class. He doesn't correct any papers or homework on his own. He makes you buy his book for the class. Seems like he assigns tons of reading and homework because he can. Nothing in the lectures are on the test. For a class that was based on stress reduction, this one sure was stressful.
Erik is very opinionated and he likes to basically teach his own opinions. As for homework it is easy but almost pointless. Nothing he lectures about is on the test. He basically just likes to flaunt his own opinions about health for 3 hours. He gives no feedback, he is very self-involved. I hated this class and this professor.
Yes, this class had boring lectures. Yes, he didn't review very well for the midterm or final. This is a upper division class! I went to class all the time,skimmed through the required books and wrote a lot of BS. I got a B+. Wanted an A but I'll take the B, considering I had my major classes to worry about. Not the best class not the worst.
Erik Peper is very knowledgeable. He pack a lot of information into the class. Much of the class is designed to introduce stress reductions techniques. You get out of it what you put into it. The TAs are very helpful and available for student questions.
Biofeedback&Self Regulation is a difficult subject; it has a lot of technical aspects of it, however it is a very fascinating.Once you grasp the technology it is easy to see why it is so useful.As long as you show even a little improvement in understanding it and REALLY do the AT, the logs&labs,your grade will be a good one. You can't BS it!
Dr Peper welcomed an adult returning student with open arms and support. His lectures were engaging and informative. However, you will have to pay attention and he does not suffer fools lightly. If you're in his class to learn and interact-great. If you're there to "check it off the list"-forget it.
The things you learn in class is interesting and depending on you - can very much help you in the future. He's not too bad as a teacher, he pretty much gives you clear guidelines on what to expect for the tests and projects. Tests are based on both readings and lectures so just do the readings! I suggest doing group study for the exams!
I enjoyed Holistic Health: Western Perspectives a great deal. Dr. Peper is an engaging speaker and he presents topics pertinent to current health dilemmas. The great thing about this class is discovering how strong the mind-body connection is and how it influences your overall health. As long as you listen actively to the lecture, you will do well.
demanding class. a lot of reading and homework is fairly easy but must be done. tests are pretty hard but overall it was worth it. i learned a lot and peper made it super interesting.
Too much into himself, he interrupted students multiple times in a very rude manner.
The subject is very interesting, but the class is hard. LOTS of reading, and hw which are graded by his TA. I hated when he switched the slides too fast, so it was hard to take notes. And he posted them only before the final. Overall, you have to try really hard to pass this course.
Worst class I have ever taken. very unorganized and the professor is almost impossible to get in contact with outside of his limited office hours. I was so interested in this subject and he ruined it for me.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I thought this was going to be really interesting and he ruined it. He sits up there and talks at you for hours, skips through the whole power point, and tests you on material he does not talk about it class. He doesn't grade the homework or tests either. The TA does and her grading is ridiculous. Worst class ever.
Dumb class. He is really cocky, only gives one point of view and isn't really open to others. He makes you buy his stupid book to do the pointless homework and then ask for two 7 page essays analyzing the homework. You learn absolutely nothing about holistic health !
SAVE YOUR SELF! do not take this class. you will learn nothing. he is narcissistic and his class is basically pointless. i left the class with the same amount of knowledge i had going in.
I was hoping to learn about holistic medicine and practice, but instead it's really about him and our visualization and self-reflection projects. I do like him and he can be funny at times, but he can be such an egotistical jerk too! It felt like a waste of time and I wish the class description was more accurate!!!
Must do readings! That's all your midterm and final will be based on. He does interesting lectures that will also be on the exams; attending class is a must. Homework every week but it's so easy.. However he grades the term and final paper hard; don't B.S it. Other than that I learned a lot.
He seemed ethnocentric. In many classes he would comment about European ancestors knowing best: "your grandmothers from Europe." Well, not everyone in the class had grandmothers from Europe. I couldn't wait until the semester ended. He made an interesting topic,dry. Not a good teacher. Do not recommend. He's scattered and his book was not good.
Dr peper is a bad scientist. someone needs to tell this man that correlation does not imply causation. he will bend the truth to fit whatever hes saying. all the stuff he lectures on is based on anecdotal evidence and hunches and guesses. Its an insane amount of work, he expects you to read 100-200 pages a week and TheresSoMuchHW, DO NOT TAKE!
Professor Peper presents his lectures based on research. He does have his own beliefs too. Readings are a lot! Weekly practice from his book. Midterm and finals are a set of questions. Practiced relaxation techniques. He has a sense of humor I dont think many people get. He is a great teacher and easy to talk to.
Dr. Peper is high knowledgeable about this teachings. He is very experienced in hollistic health. I really enjoyed his class and learned a lot. If you want an A, you must keep up with the readings and lectures. It will not be an easy A, hard work pays off. He is extremely helpful and caring for his students. I'm very happy to hve taken this class!
This was a very informative and interesting class. Dr. Peper is incredibly knowledgable. Class is not easy, but you learn a lot and get to facilitate interesting research projects
essay's are nothing he talks about in class, just the workbook assignments. Keeps you the entire time during night classes (who does that!?). I wouldn't recommend it. BORING
super condescending. despite being a class on stress management, ADDS to your stress. makes you write a 7+ essay twice on how the class is. cuts you off when youre speaking and likes to embarrass you if he doesnt like you. you spend hella $ on books that you dont even read!!!
Dr. Peper is a very accomplished individual outside of SFSU. He really loves what he does and is very generous with sharing his knowledge. Taking his class led me to declaring a minor in Holistic Health. If thats an area you think that will interest you, take him! P.S. Everyone should become HH minors :)
Felt like his lectures did not appear on any of the exams. I should've kept reading all the books, and less with attending his class.
I wish I had heeded the rate my professor warnings... In short, this class is more of a headache than its actually worth, especially for a segment III.
I would probably like this class more if it wasn't only offered in a 3-hour block. I'm glad I didn't buy all the books he assigned (don't get me wrong, they're interesting if you're into holistic health) because I didn't really need them to do well on the exams and papers. Just pay attention and take a few notes in his lectures and you'll be fine.
Very easy class, i would of gotten an A in the class if i didn't bomb the first test. As long as you do the weekely logs assignment complete the two seven page essays and both the exams then you are basically guaranteed an A. I only bought one of the text book which is the workbook, and just googled the midterm questions and studied off them .
interesting lectures. Gives intriguing examples of historical case studies. helpful if you seek help. be willing to learn and accept holistic view points on medicine, self interpretation, and perception and you will enjoy this class very much! all in all great teacher and i recommend highly of him
You will have a final paper requiring you to collect original data. At the same time you are finishing up the last weekly log the day before the final paper is due. Yes, you are expected to still be collecting data the day before your data research paper is due. I hope this problem is addressed. I feel let down and cheated as a student.
Do not recommend class, extremely long lectures and ridiculous amounts of reading. Claims that most of his information is proven but most of his material is brushed upon in class. Majority of the material is not found in the test. I do not know why it is considered a UP-B class in the sciences
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU EXPECT AN EASY A! This is the hardest HH class I have ever taken at state. He assigns like 8 books and expects you to retain a bunch of information that is never discussed in class for the midterm and final. We never talk about the readings in class, and we do not get breaks (this was a 3 hour class). Do not take.
Go to all the classes, take notes, do the assignments, write a lot of details on exams and you'll be fine. There will be weekly logs most of the time on figuring out your stress triggers, breathing exercises, a lit review and a final self healing project. Basically teaches you SELF HEALING. This class changed my life, I'm now a HH minor. #Doit
First of all there's a MILLION required texts... As if anyone has the money to buy 6+ books... The tests are a joke! If you write well, you'll get a good grade on the tests and the paper(s). Oh yeah did i mention he makes you write 7+ page paper on homework reflection?! If you can, try to avoid this class!!! Lecture heavy, not helpful and HARD! NOO
Peper is awesome! He knows what he's teaching, he's passionate and he wants others to be passionate about their health too. He's a G! ONLY TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT LEARNING IN DEPTH ABOUT HEALTH. yes, you have to read a lot and the tests are based on reading material AND class activities.
Super easy class, its a lot of busy work. A lot of little EASY assignments every week based on yourself, you can make it up. there are a lot of books. never read any of them, still got an A. the easiest 7 page paper you will ever get, writing about YOURSELF, solely opinion based. He is very passionate and kind of weird but he's chill. easy upper GE
Lectures generally don't cover what's on midterm or final, and they're irrelevant to your two 7-page papers. Taking notes is difficult because he speeds through slidesusually about 100-200 per class, no joke. Prof has a habit of answering students' questions with other questions, which can feel more patronizing than like Socratic method. 7+ books.
His lectures are awful and mandatory. He repeats things over and over and is so boring to listen to. He is disrespectful to students. He seems rehearsed and tired. The material is interesting, but he makes this class torture. Some of the guest speakers were awesome, but I would recommend avoiding this professor.
Professor Peper was truly remarkable. One of the best professors at SFSU. The class itself was interesting, and he made it much more interesting with his statistical evidence and story telling. The 2 test we took werent hard at all: you really just need to show you care, and youll pass easily. Also, talk to him during his office if possible.
Readings due each week (one was pg 1-181). There is a practice due each week that require daily logs and a reflection at the end of the week. Cant take notes because he just clicks through his powerpoint super fast -- even though there is way to many facts on the slide to be able to write any meaningful notes. Not very organized or structured.
Annoying class. So many unnecessary assignments it was easier to pass my physics and computer science classes.
Professor Peper is very positive and kind! He is passionate about Holistic Health and wants students to succeed. He responds to emails quickly and grades fairly. He genuinely cares about us as students and I highly recommend taking his courses. He taught many principles of Holistic Health that I use now in my everyday life.
Professor Peper might know a lot of Holistic Health but represents nothing about it. He is rude, impatient, judgmental and again rude to his students. Super inconsiderate and assigns 2, 1 hour asynchronous lectures beyond the actual synchronous class lecture + practices. He interrupts students and is again rude. NOPE, I warned you. Don't take him.
Peper is needy, wants you to do things like he expects, passive aggressive, acts like he cares but assigns the most useless and time consuming assignments, doesn't help manage stress just causes it, YOU MUST HAVE YOUR CAMERA ON AND DIRECTED ON YOUR FACE, calls on you in class and shows frustration when you don't know the answer.. just rude.
There is some homework weekly and effort expected to be given in assignments but this is a college course; that is to be expected. I really enjoyed this class because Dr. Peper cares about the material he is teaching and makes it very applicable to everyday life. Hes always very kind and understanding. By far one of my most life changing classes!
Dr. Peper is a ray of sunshine! He genuinely cares and is interested in teaching about holistic health. The amount of self-awareness that I gained and the tools to manage stress and live a healthier life are irreplaceable. He is a wealth of knowledge and SFSU is extremely lucky to have him. Don't pass up the opportunity.
This is a stress management class and he only adds a ton of stress onto my shoulders. There is one assignment each day, seven days a week. These daily assignments are on top of the two discussions, class assessment, 1-2 hour recorded lecture (not even our live zoom), ALL OF THESE EACH WEEK, and two midterms (paper and written test) so far.
I loved HH380 with Dr. Peper. Not only was the class interesting but I learned so much that I still use in my daily life. I think this class offers so much to students who really want to gain more than just a grade. It is a lot of work, but it is all incredibly interesting and not difficult if you simply do it. I couldn't recommend it higher!
This class is close to what it's like having a child. You need to tend to this class daily with logs, homework and your final project. If you enjoy a hefty, confusing and extensive lecture class this is up your ally. Dr. Pepper is informative and shares enlightening techniques, but don't think you can just do the bare minimum, he will know.
Is there a lot of work? Yes. Is it hard? No. I don't think most people giving bad reviews read the instructions for the assignments. It's mostly journaling about short practices, and both the papers are putting the daily logs together. It only sucks if you don't have logs to work with. Dr Peper is caring, passionate and brings cool guest speakers.
The other bad reviews are all true. Changes hw weekly, doesn't stick to a set schedule very well. If you have issues he is less than helpful. Has a history of making female/femme presenting students uncomfortable. Will interrupt you and deflects responsibility when things go wrong.
Do not take this class if you have a difficult relationship with food or are in any way overweight. The way he talks about fat bodies is incredibly problematic and he says incredibly triggering things about food. He also cites literature that is openly fat phobic. He openly criticizes students food choices and is incredibly passive aggressive.
A lot of homework and assignments + readings. I feel like he grades unfairly in exams
For a holistic class Professor Peper added an extreme amount of stress into my life. He is always going over lecture time and is often extremely rude when he pops into group discussions. He only sees the world one way and will make sure he can convince you that is the right way. His course is not relaxing nor did it help with stress management.
the workload is extremely heavy, during lectures slides are irrelevant bc he talks faster and doesn't always update slides. two big papers one is 7+ pages, hella extra-cred (red flag), professor is also kinda passive aggressive. multiple daily logs per wk & multiple discussions due on weekends. i would never take any of his classes again
I strongly disagree with the negative reviews of Professor Peper's class. Yes, the workload is demanding, but it drives real growth. The lectures are fast-paced but engaging. Discussions on health are direct, grounded in science. If you want an easy ride, look elsewhere. This class is for those ready to work hard and embrace real learning.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. The amount of homework is ungodly. He once assigned over 200 pages of reading in 1 week. Peper's whole philosophy is about stress management, however this class is the bane of my existence and has caused me more stress than any class I have ever taken. And I am a senior. He is also arrogant and rude. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
He gives a large amount of work for a 3 credit class Every week you will get 2 discussion posts Every week you will get a weekly log He stacks usual assignments with midterm Essay and Midterm Project. Assignments are not super difficult but very time-consuming. For a class on how to reduce stress, this has become one of the main stressors.
Professor Peper talks very quickly but everything he says is useful and has engaging story tellings and helps guide you through the self practices. Thought, he can come off as rude and arrogant as he is very strict about what's right and wrong on the assignments even thought holistic health is subjective.
I second that the amount of work for this class is ungodly. The only explanation I can think of is that Dr. Peper has no understanding of time and work. No way. The amount of reading is insane, impossible, and the assignments are frivolously long. Not difficult but no reason on Earth for the length. Arrogant & you are no more than his test subject.
Dr. Peper's class is no walk in the park, but if you're willing to put in the work, you'll gain a ton. Lectures are fast-paced but engaging. unstuck ai was a lifesaver for study prep. Definitely not an easy A, but you'll learn a lot.
inhumane amount of homework
He set the tone by moving an in-person class onto Zoom and telling us to essentially drop the class if we have a problem with it. Completely disregarding the reality of class registration deadlines and financial aid requirements on minimum credits. I would have dropped the class if I didn't need it for aid eligibility. He's incredibly condescending
I have never left a review on this site until this professor. I beg you DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. It has tanked my mental health with the amount of stress I have from the insane workload and time commitment. Such a shame because it's such good stuff that could be really valuable knowledge if it wasn't so demanding and unreasonable. Save yourself.
Extremely heavy workload for a 3-unit class. Ironically, the class had a severely negative impact on my mental health.
Petty and condescending. Old, decrepit and full of himself. This professor single-handedly makes me feel there should be an age-cap on teaching and they should get rid of tenure as a concept just so anyone remotely similar to this guy doesn't waste any more students time and money.
An actual inhumane amount of work for a 3 unit class. This class has actively made my mental health worse. Every week I dread attending the lectures, he basically is saying the same thing over and over in different words every week.
I haven't finished the class yet, currently working on the second self-healing paper. On the verge of crashing out. Never has a class brought me so much stress and anger when it's meant to do the opposite. Too much work for a class that has nothing to do with my major. Save yourself the time and stress. Do not take this class.
Taught us that modern treatment of cancer is toxic and should be avoided, and should be replaced with alternative medicine. He also taught us that ingesting tapeworms cures Crohn's disease, and that getting rid of parasites was a mistake. He discussed studies that cured autistic mice of their autism. You can't make this up. SFSU's very own RFK Jr.
LOVED dr. pepper's class! Erik challenges big science and the toxic modern medicine in such an intelligent way! Being a fan of RFK jr, it felt so refreshing and validating to be in this class. Shame there's so many haters here. MAHA!
