 Pros: Nice guy, quizzes are open book, some extra credit, funny
Cons: Exam questions can be somewhat tricky,
Most of this class consists of common sense-type stuff or clarification of misconceptions about psychology. The material isn't difficult at all, but there is quite a bit of memorization to do. Study for exams AHEAD of time. The quizzes are online, open book, and you have two attempts for each quiz -- there's really no reason to miss points on the quizzes. The papers are all really easy, as well.

 Pros: no attendence, no homework
Cons: exams need to be taken seriously for a gen ed
tests shouldn't be taken lightly. I made the mistake on the first exam and only got a 68. Tests are easier if you pay attention in class, and take notes. he does give you notes to go off of and follow along which makes it nice. reading the book isn't necessary but does make the exams more bearable. Definitely take the class with Peck. He's a funny guy

 Pros: Awesome guy, makes the class fun. I walked into the first class to beach balls bouncing everywhere with Peck standing on his desk with his arms in the shape of a basketball hoop and you got extra credit if you made a basket. He rules.
Cons: You actually have to go to class

 Pros: It's an interesting class.
Cons: He pretends to be nice, but is actually kind of a jerk.
It's a required class for psych majors and I'm pretty sure Peck is the only prof that teaches it... so just be careful.
