Prof. Peters is organized but assigns too many readings that would counter act what was said during lecture. She also always finds a way to talk about how much she hates Trump every lectures which kind of gets annoying after it happening all the time. Professor Peters does know the material very well but I feel that she only talks about surface level things and could go into more detail for other topics. There are no assignments in the course other than unit tests (3) and one white paper. I think that it get difficult when the professor never mentions an assignment or test is due until a couple of days. Even though as student, we should be keeping track of our assignments, I think that it is very important for the professor to speak about them. If you are not very interested in migration then do not take this class. Majority of the people took this course because with was one of the last ones open during enrollment.

based on the reviews i saw, i avoided going to peters' office hours or talking to her directly and honestly this strategy was much more effective. i found the class material interesting, and though her lectures often jumped around, i was still able to follow necessary concepts bc she pretty much just outlined each chapter of the textbook. seriously just focus all your efforts onto the textbook and readings and you'll be fine-- but definitely still attend the lectures lol. also a lot of the quiz questions i struggled with were super specific on the readings and usually specific examples of countries who illustrate reading concepts.
