Prof. Peterson is an amazing teacher, she open the topic of Women History a topic I thought would be dry, she managed to make an interesting and engaging class out of. She will encourage you to critically think about the material and will look for your participation. If you need it for GE take her, you will learn and have fun.

I mean 4.5/5. Her lecture slides, videos and texts she gives you are very informative. Assignments and quizzes are not hard. Only one reason of 4.5/5 is that I didnt receive any grade (except week 1 discussion) until few days before the due of final. I highly recommend to take her!

She's super easy and accommodating. It's not hard to get into contact. The class isn't too heavy on workload and yet you learn so much. It's a good class to take your first year as you learn to get the hang of college life and helps you develop skills that help for other classes, like writing. I really enjoyed this class. Not stressful at all

Professor Peterson truly cares for her students and adjusts the course as necessary (not just for timing issues, but current events). She values a greater overall understanding of history and answering the "why?" question over simple memorization of dates and facts which made the class much more interesting in my opinion. No quizzes are a bonus!

Best professor I have had so far! She is so sweet and her lectures are so in depth and educational. I loved this class. We only had a couple assignments in total and she even said we didn't need to take to final if we wanted because of stress and such. which helped me so much. She's great and I recommend for you to take her.

Professor Peterson is perhaps one of the kindest professors one can take. She is caring about her students, and wants all of them to succeed by 1) learning the subject, and 2) getting as high of a grade as one can possibly receive. Her power points were good, and were helpful for preparing for her quizzes. I even took her for HIST117.

Her class leans into how personal history is. She asks those comfortable sharing how the material we cover affects the present day & us. Class can be emotional due to the events covered but she covers it with sensitivity. No tests just discussion posts & short writings on lectures/small readings provided. She is kind & passionate about the subject!

Few assignments and no tests. Her class focuses on the personal connection we have to history & how it affects present day. The topics can get heavy & she handles them with sensitivity. She also tends to end class early to allow students to speak with her about grades or the lecture. She is kind and understanding so if you need help, tell her.

Professor Peterson was a great prof. Homework was given maybe 2x-3x a month and was understanding if you needed an extension. Please participate in her class, she looks sad when students don't interact with her lectures. There's no tests, the final is a paper and assignments are super easy; they can be completed in 1 hour or less.
