This was the worst teacher I have ever had. Gave extra credit to students she "chose". Unprofessional behavior--discussed my grade with other students.

Cannot believe how rude this teacher was for no reason. If you can avoid this teacher I would, dropped the class within the first week because if she doesn't like you, you will fail and she did not like me for no apparent reason.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. She tells you one thing and expects another. Will fail you if you did not read her mind and do what she wants. She is not clear on any instructions but will occasionally extend deadlines if you cry. She seems knowledgeable in her area but does not share the knowledge.

This teacher is one of the worst I've had. She's very unclear and doesn't explain any assignments and then will grade you on expectations she did not clarify. If you can stay away please do because you will leave class everyday thinking what is going on. She is rude and unapproachable and you just will not enjoy this class if she doesn't like you.

Dr. Peters is a sweet woman who is very passionate about literature. The course is very interesting and there was never a dull moment. She assigns readings for every class so make sure to read them for the midterm. She expects her students to fully participate in the class so make sure you do. She's also willing to help any student in need.

She spends so much time repeating herself and I feel that all I've learned is the word "tone" and the way writers express what they're saying. Wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a fun class, would if you're looking to just sit and chill while she lectures.

She's very unlcear about what she expects. She puts EVERYTHING in class even content from student presentations. She very set in her ways, is extremely knowledgeable but not personable. I did tons of extra credit and only got an A- She doesn't negotiate grades and does not welcome office visits. Avoid if possible to find nicer/easier professor

Dr. Peters is a very nice women; however, it is time for her to retire. She was extremely unorganized (changing assignments at 3 AM for example), her syllabus was a disaster, and she never once answered any of my multiple emails sent in the semester. The class was a waste of time. Very few assignments- reading responses, two papers, & annot biblio

Pearlie is a very nice lady and professor. This class is easy to get by but you might as well pay attention and do the readings. People tend to treat her class as a joke but if you show your paying attention she will definitely respect you. She is an older women but is very smart on what she is teaching. Pay attention to her reviews before tests!!

This class is very interesting. But she is, in fact, the worst professor I have ever taken at rider. Her syllabus will have due dates but she will come into class and say that the assignment was due for that day when the syllabus said differently and you still had a full week to do it. She doesn't care what her syllabus says and she is very rude.

Dr. Peters is a very sweet lady. She definitely cares about her students and you can tell she wants to get to know them. However, she is pretty all over the place. She gives many readings but they are all pretty short. She is a really easy grader. If you do the work on time and attend class, you will succeed in her class.

Please don't get me wrong - Dr. Peters is a wonderfully kind woman. However, her teaching practices leave a lot to be desired. Her lectures are interesting and the readings are short, however, there was nothing engaging about her lectures or assignments. It was go home, read, homework, come back. She barely put grades in until the last minute.

Dr. Peters is a wonderful person, but her teaching abilities are a bit out of date. We as students had no idea what our grades were throughout the semester and will not know our grades until the semester is over. Her final assignments are long and filled with ridiculous expectations. If you can avoid taking her class, I would.

Professor Peters is a nice woman, but she is not at all tech savvy. She tries hard to be, but her canvas page ends up being incredibly messy because of this. She has a habit of cutting people off in order to interject her own opinions. Fairly easy class, but it can get frustrating fast.

She is a good person, but very disorganized which is frustrating. Assignments are constantly due, but she gives no time in class to do them. No clue what my grade is because she will not put the grades in until last minute. This is a gen-ed class for me, but requires more work than my major class. I am frustrated and overwhelmed.

Professor Peters is amazing!!! I've taken her twice and she's been the sweetest professor I've ever met. Definitely take her class, its not difficult at all. Will give essays throughout the semester but nothing too hard at all, but if you communicate that you need help she will help. Learn a lot if you pay attention in class

Dr. Peters was an amazing professor. She made the class so easy to understand and was accommodating when things came up. She is extremely lecture-heavy, but it is interesting to learn the topics in the way she teaches them. She is not very tech-savvy- the entirety of our course was outlined in great detail though.

The easiest class I've taken in college so far. There's abt 5 assignments she'll have you do throughout the semester and if you just write what she's looking for, youre bound to get an easy A. Peters does require you read her textbooks often but the material is engaging enough to not wanna blow your brains out.
