WORST TEACHER EVER. How did she get a job!?!

She makes no sense an easy A as long as you can drag yourself outta bed to go to this horrible class.

sucks

hardest teacher to understand, she doesn't know what she is talking about, cant tell students a straight answer about any question asked. She yells about nothing and gets angry in class and takes it out on students

can't understand what she says

VERY fuzzy thinker / communicator. Classes are group diddle sessions. Not too hard a grader, but grades seem unconnected to work performed. Forget about the syllabus, she ignores it.

the usual feminist claptrap. If you read these evaluations, the word that keeps popping up is 'scatterbrain.' There's a reason for that. She's not a bad person, or especially hard to understand, but is horribly disorganized and flighty.

She is unorganized, unprofessional, and unfair. If you have to take this professor, make sure you keep your own record of grades and attendance. If you can help it, don't take her.

this lady is terrible. was late every class. interpretations that she thought made know sense. had accent. she marks things on your test wrong but doesnt tell you why. couldnt ever get a hold of after class. DONT TAKE HER

Really bad teacher. Assignments and class organization are murky. She seems to not know what she's doing or remember what she said. Very insecure - HATES to be corrected or challenged. Ignores her own syllabus. Her grading lacks logic and consistency.

Shes a terrible teacher. Has an accent so its hard to understand her. Shes not helpful at all. If you interpret something as you perceive it she'll tell you that your wrong. Avoid her at all cost

I have Dr. Peacock for my college writing class, and she's the worst teacher ever. she will not give you credit on a paper if your paper isn't nearly perfect. For one paper I had to re-write it 3 times! If you can I highly recomend not taking her

One of the 2 or 3 worse profs at SRU. Totally disorganized, hazy and/or unfair grading policy, incomprehensible lectures (I'm not talking about her speech, I'm talking about her thinking.) Ignores her own syllabus, often late for her class. AVOID at all cost.

Doesn't even follow her own syllabus. Most disorganized prof ever - repeatedly came late to her own class. Should not be employed at a university unless as a janitor (and I'm not sure she could handle that.)

Does not follow the syllabus, focuses more on the content of cultures than writing. She did not treat it like a college writing class. She made it seem like interpreting literature.

The worst professor I have ever had. she doesnt follow the syllabus, told us we didnt have a final, but made us come to class. very hard grader. Never understood the assignments. I would never recommend her.

She means well, but she gives unclear directions and is very opinionated. She also changes deadlines to sooner rather than later at the last minute. I can handle a lot of work, if I have a schedule to work with. The day after the election she told us her views, and I don't think that is professional, even if I voted for the same person.

Dr. Peacock is a smart, intelligent professor, however, there is no student to teacher relationship and she is not very caring. I feel like she is very biased and has very liberal viewpoints. She gave me a D on a great paper because it went against what she believed in. It isn't a hard class, but I don't recommend.

This class has lots assignments for little points that add up quickly. She has a lot of group work, almost every class. She's truly one of the toughest graders ever. If you two do not agree on a point of view, good luck passing honestly. She can be rude about it too, she tries to give good feedback but sometimes it doesn't work.

In critical writing we were expectant to learn about how to write a college level paper. Instead she basically spoke every single day about how Americans are stupid and even about how the military is useless. She has a very communistic way of thinking and if you disagree with her she will call you out in front of everyone and you will fail.

I was expecting to learn how to write in college writing and oo was I wrong. All you do is discuss politics and if you disagree with her, she will rip you apart. The only way to get a good grade on the 3 papers you write is to write about what she believes in, which can be difficult. Not a hard class but you will leave frustrated everyday.

If you want to get a good grade in Dr. Peacock's class, you have to write papers solely based off of her opinion on things. Her class is just a big debate and having us state our opinions about topics we read only for her to completely rip us up in front of the whole class because out opinion differs from hers. Avoid at all costs.

Dr. Peacock gives the most unclear directions, doesnt really have any idea whats going on, has a poor understanding of her own subject matter, and nickel and dimes your grade until theres not much left. I consider myself an above average student in English, and even doing the reading doesnt mean much if you dont agree with her POV.

This woman is absolutely terrible. If you answer one a question for her she will follow up your answer with Why or That doesnt make sense. Usually only agrees with you when its more biased of her own opinion. Save yourself the time & anxiety and avoid her at all costs.

She is by far the WORST professor Ive had. She may even be the worst professor at Slippery Rock. Avoid taking her if you can. She gives random pop quizzes, calls you out in front of the class, as well as interjects rudely while youre talking/answering a question. She fails to email back, so dont even try. She should not be a professor.

Dr. Peacock may be the worst professor I have ever had. Her syllabus is absurd, it makes no sense at all. She has a quiz every class. To get participation points you have to raise your hand. There is only a total of 50 points in her class so don't mess up on quizzes. And her answers are the only right ones, and if you're wrong shell freak out.

Worst professor you can ever have. I am not the type to complain and I believe you can succeed in any class with hard work. Not this one. This class is impossible to get an a in, in fact I don't think anyone did. Have fun if you have her and good luck!

I had Dr. Peacock for Critical Writing. We spent more time reading than writing. Every reading was followed by a summary. She provided no writing tips or techniques. She provided no rubric for the essays. Her instructions are very unclear. Her syllabus makes zero sense. She is not understanding. She does not provide room for any error.

She is truly one of the worst professors at Slippery Rock. Really nice lady, but absolutely awful teacher. Barely has any points in the class. Most of her answers to things are what her opinion is of something & you usually have to argue with her to prove a point and she's rude about it. Would not take her class again. Best of luck to all of you.

Dr. Peacock is rude and does not care about her students. She expects us to know everything she knows without providing lectures, notes, etc. Her grading is ridiculous and she makes it impossible to get an A. Avoid this professor at all costs.

Needed to force her to read assignments in order to be graded properly. She gives vague information as to why points were taken off, even though you can clearly argue the points are in the assignment if you've done it correctly. At times she takes days to reply to emails and creates unfair quizzes on readings assigned. Less than 100 points in total

Dr. Peacock is disorganized, unprepared, confusing, and unwilling to work with students. She gave us one week to do a group project on top of two other papers, we had to go to the head of the department to get her to drop one of the papers after trying to tell her that it was too much work. Then she did not even show to her own final. AVOID HER!

Dr. Peacock is one of the most difficult professors I have ever worked with. She is incredibly unorganized, disrespectful, and confusing. There is no standard of grading, she cannot justify deduction of points when asked about it. She speaks to students in an incredibly rude tone. I have never disliked a professor of mine until now.

She is the worst professor at SRU for sure. Her class is nearly impossible to get an A in no matter how much work you dedicate. She bases her class off of her own political opinion and does not care to listen to students at all. She is horrible do not take her!

The worst professor at SRU. Her syllabus makes no sense and when she grades your papers she doesn't help you, she makes you look like an idiot. She makes you write about topics that only she believes in and when you try to question her she is just straight up disrespectful( she will embarrass you in front of the whole class). AVOID HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot stand this lady. She does not care about her students, teaches you false information and makes you write about things that are based off of her personal opinion. Huge libtard

This woman is miserable. One would expect a Critical Reading class to allow for interpretation but not with her. If you disagree with her, she attempts to humiliate you. Her own political beliefs are made very clear and she targets those who do not align with them. She is beyond disrespectful. No matter what, she is right and you are wrong.

The syllabus is inaccurate- she constantly forgets what she assigns, and references it despite it being this. She has no clear grading system and fishes for answers during discussion until she hears what she wants. Lectures are barely helpful or interesting as topics are all historical & repetitive. Wouldn't recommend her unless course is required.

Get prepared to write essay quality DB posts, on top of readings that take hours (and 4-5 page essays every unit). She took off points because I needed to respond to another student's post. Even though I already had. Unorganized. Actual teaching consists of a few recorded PowerPoint lectures in which she reads from slides. Would not recommend.

She is the toughest and most disrespectful professor I have ever had, she barley answers emails and is not very approachable. The course is also very unorganized (e.g. posts rubrics for papers at the last minute) and heavily based on group discussions in which she searches for right answer until she gets it, her feedback on papers is poor.

Awful all around, clearly does not care about her students. Goes out of her way to humiliate students and make scenes. Grades everything extremely harshly and never gives any explanation. Never answers emails in a timely manner. Always say to refer to syllabus but does not follow it. Gave me a hard time for missing class for doctors appointments.

She grades unfairly. Gave me a 10% on a test even though all my response were correct, and without reason.

Get ready to read the two Norton Anthologies you have to buy for this class. Every project has very few points, so if you miss two points on your multi-page, cited and outside researched analysis paper, you get a B-. She does not want to hear your interpretations or analysis, she wants you to regurgitate what she hints at.

This professor has humiliated me multiple times in front of the class, and is rude to students. Not only is the class difficult due to the fact that there are so little points, but feedback on wrong answers rarely make sense. Peacock often interrupts students when they are answering her questions, only to get mad and tell them that they are wrong.

This was one of the most stressful classes I have ever taken. If you do have her, just go to her office hours and ask for help because she will like you if you show that you care. She was an extremely hard grader on everything and it was almost impossible to get an A on any of the work. I would just do anything you can to take someone else.

awful.

she is so bad, do not take her for this class. you will be tired of her after class 1. she has no care for her students. so much reading and you do not talk about the readings before a small quiz. you have so many small quizzes and they are like 3 points so if you miss one its a 66%

DO NOT TAKE HER! She grades hard and is so bad at responding to emails when asking for help. She always interrupts when she asks YOU questions about the readings. Just do not waste your time and do not take her. I am failing the class because of the pop quizzes. If you get one question wrong its already a 60. Do not waste your time.

Terrible! I could not stand being in that class and I HATED going to the class. She begs people to participate, but then claims everything they say is wrong. Makes every simple assignment super complex and if it is not done to her liking, she will make you redo it and embarrass you in front of the entire class. DO NOT TAKE HER!

Absolutely the WORST prof at SRU. Disorganized, disrespectful, and uncaring. Doesn't respond to e-mails, doesn't follow her own syllabus. Just read a sampling of these reviews and ask yourself 'Why would I sign up for her course?" My question: how is she still employed?

Do not take Dr. Peacock. I gained nothing from this class in the slightest. Quizzes after every reading that she would take points off of and not explain why.

Does not answer emails. Is very difficult to reach tough grader and does not explain why she wants something incorrect.

Her instructions are often unclear and I thought her grading was inconsistent. You are graded on participation and there are group projects. Attendance is mandatory and there is a lot of reading. Overall, if you pretend you care you should be okay.

I would rather spend a year learning how to clean dog poop out of shoes than take this professor again. By far the worst professor I have ever had. The unexpected weekend events that were mandatory made me wanna transfer schools. Goodbye critical reading I will not miss you in the slightest.
