Took him around a year ago. He himself seems pretty cool and is a good speaker, and the class is even interesting sometimes. He tends to make jokes in lectures and somehow finds a way to turn every single class political for whatever reason. He assigns a lot of homework which is very tedious and he grades too hard considering it is a 1 credit class. He is not that bad but in comparison, Thomson seemed nicer and better overall.

He da GOAT. This sentiment is shared by the entire class.

I took CPSD100 with him during Fall 2020. He's a fine professor, seems maybe a little arrogant, but the class is very easy. I put in about 20min of work a week, except for when we had to work on our group papers. During those weeks, I probably put in 2 hours of work max. I personally thought the class was fun and he didn't suppress any fun, like the previous review says. I thought the concepts of pseudoscience and logical fallacies were very interesting and I'm glad I took the class.

He's an arrogant, elitist jackass. This sentiment is shared by the entire class. He made me despise coming to class and I wish I never chose SDU as my scholars program. Peel is often times condescending and rude. His teaching style is abysmal and actively suppresses any fun that the class could have been. He needs to be removed as head of SDU.

A good professor who presents topics well at a high level (which was what a lot of this course was about). He is very nice and takes the time to learn everyone's name. He has a great desire to turn us into well spoken and productive individuals during our time here, which is a grand goal. Graders will take off points on the homework for weird or maybe incomprehensible reasons (for example, I had ten points, or 1 percent of the final grade, taken off a correct use of a logical fallacy probably because it was not politically correct). Others had points taken off for being too terse, which I feel is unfair for most questions.
