LIB495 Catherine Peck

[bartlebuck]

For anyone about to take LIB495, Be advised that PECK and HAYDEL both have issues as outlined below:


Prof Haydel will want you to join a weekly zoom meeting, as well as provide your personal email and phone number. She will want to set you up with a "buddy" in class, as well as call you at home. If you say you are not available for the nonrequired zoom calls, she will tell you that you will be hindered. None of this is in the course descriptions or requirements. This is her personal preference for running the course. It's more work, more time, and an infringement on your space. I asked not to be called in the evening, but she called me in the evening anyway. So that's Haydel.

Catherine Peck has a huge ego and she will not admit when she is wrong, even if you prove it to her beyond a shadow of a doubt. Other professors at TESU will adjust grades if they make a mistake, but Peck will not. She will not admit to her own mistakes and that makes her untrustworthy as a mentor. If she makes a mistake on one of your papers, and you point it out, too bad for you. She doesn't make mistakes. Ever.

I would avoid both of these professors if you are a strong student because the stress and hassle isn't worth it. If you are a weaker student, then maybe Haydel's method will help you.
