“Professor Peck has had a profound impact on my love for Philosophy. Unlike other philosophy professors, she brings a wide variety of texts to class that really make us think and engage with the material. What sets her apart is that she actually encourages us to challenge those texts and support our own original ideas. In her class, I've seen myself become a better writer because she creates an environment where it's okay to make mistakes and learn from them. It's not just about showing off what we already know; she focuses on helping us develop real skills. Her teaching approach takes away the stress of grades and instead emphasizes critical analysis and group discussions. It's been an amazing experience that has truly transformed how I approach Philosophy. Professor Peck's teaching philosophy enables me to perceive writing as a journey of skill development rather than a mere showcase of pre-existing knowledge. Professor Peck's approach goes beyond conventional teaching methods. Under her guidance, our class underwent a remarkable transformation, evolving into a close-knit community of critical thinkers who fearlessly delve into the depths of philosophical ideas. Her skill in nurturing intellectual development and instilling a deep love for the subject is a testament to her teaching expertise, setting a high standard for excellence in philosophy.” (submitted anonymously by a student, Spring 2023)
