Great teacher, has a lot of reading and a few busy work assignments, but overall his class is pretty easy and he is totally worth taking. Midterms are simple scripture memorization. Teaches doctorines powerfully and with passion.

Great teacher. He does require you to memorize scriptures, but other than that all he requires is reading. Great insight, great teacher.

Great teacher good ways of having discussions not lectures

He is my favorite professor of all time. It didnt feel like a chore to sit in class and take notes. He established rapport with everyone in the class. His tests are memorization, which can be rough but its worth having the class for.

Good teacher and great spirit

Very spiritual man. I felt remarkable and unmistakable feelings as he taught. He strives to teach the truth--rather than his own doctrine. The scripture memorization was difficult--but I was able to use the same ones again for the final. Well worth the growth! He also was very kind and understanding. He knew exactly how to help me with my questions

I LOVE BROTHER PETERSON!!!!

The class was organized awkwardly, for lack of a better word. He didn't have any due dates for any of the assignments or on the reading. I got really frustrated with it. He's a nice guy and he knows the material but it was hard to get into the class when I was stressing out about when to get things turned in.

I love Bro Petersen! He is hilarious! The class is way easy, if you care about that. The only complants I have is that he moves like a snail! It takes a semester to get through Genesis. Also, if you put things off he won't be good for you because the reading is due at the end of the semester so you really have to be on top of it.

I really did not like this class. He just lectures on what he feels is important and doesn't really care what anyone esle wants to talk about. People will raise their hands for 15 min. and he will never call on them. We spent 6 weeks on the same topic and I don't think I learned almost anything. It is a pretty easy class but super boring.

Very helpful and spiritual

Bro. Petersen is my all time favorite Religion teacher! He's on fire! He's so awesome, so spiritual, & you always learn something every class. If you have a comment, he'll always get to you even if it's off subject. He's hilarious. You'll always have a good laugh or giggle during his class. You need to take him. It will be your loss if you don't!

He's good, sometimes cracks a joke or two which are dry sometimes but overall his lessons are wonderful! For this class he required us to prepare four lesson plans and teach one of them which i hate...but oh well...there has to be a downside somewhere

I really enjoyed his class! He's a tad monotone, but great stories. Really easy too! I got an A in his class, EASY! I learned a lot too.

Brother Peterson was so close with the Spirit and taught such beautiful doctrines from the Book of Mormon. He was re-organizing his lesson plans to incorporate the Learning Model more, and it was so good. I highly recommend him.

Had him for marriage prep. He is one of the best teachers that I have ever had. The class was phenomenal. Instead of learning how to "get along," we learned the doctrines behind marriage. The class was so powerful; it was truly life changing. It was not an easy class, but it was well worth it.

Great info. A bit boring sometimes but lots of info. He does let you know that you are wrong if he feels you are, so if you take his class don't get offended. Just have fun and enjoy the information. He does a lot of lecture also.

I had Peterson for D&C and now this class...i might take another class from him. He knows his scriptures and facts! It's incredible! Don't take this class as a block class it is way too hard. He is funny! Recommend!

As long as you do your reading and show up to class every time, it's an easy A.

He was a great teacher! No Hw just reading and one group project. Super easy, but incredibly rewarding. He opend my eyes to alot a that I hadn't realized.He is laid back and will give extra credit. We grade ourselves on attendance, bringing materials and a few other things. I highly recommend him if you want to learn without the busy work.

The most amazing teacher I've ever had on this campus. He class encourages you to be a better person. I enjoy speakign to him. He's indepth guy who really has concerns for the people to meets or who are in his class. Take him before you graduate and I promise you won't be disappointed.

Very helpful, and insightful.

He is funny and very insightful with Doctrinal knowledge. The class was easy and I still learned a lot. He can be really awkward at times though.

By far my favorite religion teacher so far. Easy A if you come to class and read your scriptures. Doesn't require lame journals. Bro. Peterson is awesome. Funny, really spiritual class.

LOVE HIM. Lots of reading but totally worth it! Memorize 4 scriptures out of D&C but other than that you are good to go. Oh and go to class.

Funny, Nice, & Easiest Rel teach I've had here. Only outside assignments that were graded are 4 teaching outlines. Kind of bland in the material covered, felt like I was learning the same stuff every day. He does go off on tangents specifically with deeper parts of the gospel. Attendance mandatory for 4.0, overall very easy A and will take again.

Bro Peterson is a great guy and teacher. He does get side tracked but doesn't require hardly any homework other than reading but that is expected in a religion class. He is kind and explains stuff. Easy A and interresting material.

Are you tired of teachers making religion classes full of outside work that takes away from other classes? Well he doesn't do that. You have a institute feel to the class. Just read and go and you'll get an A. You really get deep into doctrine. Learned a ton. Just beware he is a little monotone but is a great teacher. Recommend!

I loved Brother Petersen's class. He really cares about each of his students and tries to learn about what's going on in their lives. I found this refreshing as most of my professors aren't as interested. I learned a lot in the class and was amazed by his gospel insight. He may seem monotone in the beginning, but he's got a great sense of humor.

Awesome book of mormon class. The doctrines we explored were all based upon the direction the class moved. Everything in terms of reading was on our honor and I learned more in depth than I have yet to in any other religion class and with efficiency. Instead of tedious ineffective work.

Bro. Petersen is a fantastic teacher. I loved going to class. I learned a ton every day in the class and was one of the only classes that I looked forward to. He made many of the old testament teachings simple and clear. I would recommend him to anyone looking to really learn and gain a deeper understanding.

He is my ideal religion teacher. No papers, quizzes, or tests. And your grade isn't based on class participation. Just do the reading and show up to class! Great man and great teacher.

This class was so great! I learned a lot and I enjoyed every moment of class.

I loved this class! He made the BoM class so much more than I thought it would be. He takes you deeper than you think you could go and the class is student learning directed which is great for this class.

Great class! Great teacher!

By far my favorite professor. I had him for World Religions and every single class had me completely interested. He presented interesting views, a balance between Mormonism and other world religions and he was so passionate about what he taught. He is tough, though. DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND BE IN CLASS.

Brother Petersen was super nice and really funny, I really liked him, but the class was pretty boring. I felt like we learned about the same thing every day of the semester, and I didn't really like that. It was a really easy A as long as you went and did your homework.

WONDERFUL CLASS!

This class was strangely difficult for a religion class. On top of the reading and journal entries we had a quiz and three one page papers due every week. In other classes that's no big whop but for a 2 credit class it's a bit excessive in my mind.

Just follow instructions and you'll get A. He doesn't evaluate quality. No exams. Class is boring because you go over the same things all the time.

AMAZING teacher! :) He goes over a lot of the stuff a couple times to make the doctrine clear! Not repetitive because he ADDS to the previous class' doctrine. And adds incredible things! I left the class edified every time! He teaches new doctrine SO simply!! It is amazing what you can learn in his class! I loved every minute of it! He cares!

One of the best and brightest teachers I've ever had. Pay attention and you'll learn a lot. He has a great way of thinking and presenting the text. Highly highly recommend.

This class was awesome! I loved the teacher and he was really funny. I think so far this has been my favorite religion class! He makes classes really interesting and is very knowledgeable about the Book of Mormon.

knows a TON about the doctrine, and expounds it in a way that is easy to grasp. An amazing man and an amazing teacher! keep up with the online portion of te curse and you'll be great.

He was an amazing teacher. I have never learned this much in a religion class. Don't let him scare you out of it because it is such a good class. Make sure you can attend the class because he counts it and the classes are amazing! I am taking another class by him because it was so awesome!

He is for sure my favorite teacher so far.

Awesome

Brother Petersen is an amazing teacher. Yes the class requires work, but the work was very enjoyable. You grow to learn more about the leaders of the Church. He expects you to do the work and show up, which is common sense because we are enrolled in the class. He's a fun teacher and so nice. He also makes class very interesting. I recommend him.

NO TESTS! Reflection paragraphs is all. He comes across as scary, but he's seriously the best ever!!!

Easy A. All the assignments are personal evaluations on what you worked on. However, he is SUPER strict on attendance and completing your evaluations on time. If you give a bad excuse he will lower your grade. Peterson's class focuses on doctrines rather than on personal feelingstestimony (VERY MUCH SO). If that interests you, I highly recommend.

Simply put, this class is almost a blow off class but it's not. Petersen is extremely meticulous about you following the rules with exactness. My advice is to read his e-mails and look out for the rare surprise assignment. Late means a 0.

Brother Petersen is an awesome professor, and he's funny, which is a plus. Attendance is important, like it is for all other religion classes at this University. He doesn't accept late work, but if you do the reading and homework and submit it on time, you'll do just fine.

He is a great teacher if you want to learn new things. He really is caring even though at the beginning he seems like a hard teacher. His syllabus is super long to weed out the people who do not want to try at all. Most of his class is based on integrity and answering whether or not you did the reading and then two one hundred word "essays."

It is the second class that I take from him, I learned a lot. Very funny and spiritual. Extremely easy A! No Tests. HW not that bad. Learn a lot and have fun. Bless your heart Bro Petersen!!! I am just saying....

He is amazing. Not everybody likes his style but you do learn a lot from him. I love him and his classes. There are a lot of readings, but that is basically all the work you'll do and short essays just to explain what you've learned from your readings. No quizzes, no exams, homework is not hard at all. Easy A.

Bro. Petersen's class had a lot of work, but we had great class lessons. I took this as a hybrid so I only had traditional class on Fridays. No midterm or final, but lots of homework. At first, Bro. Petersen seems strict, but he just expects a lot. He's a great teacher and I would recommend him. Be aware of essays.
