Winter 2023 - TL/DR: Fantastic Class. Highly recommend if he offers it again, especially for history majors looking for their 94/96/97. Really interesting subject and Stacey is great at asking some really interesting questions. For more on the class, grade breakdowns, structure, etc., see this doc (didn't want to paste everything on Bwalk) https://docs.google.com/document/d/15vILblHwWrnV7KnB-sOFzTRnQE2QPA7nmHxj4gdNKBU/edit?usp=sharing

Pete is a good professor. His class is pretty straight forward. He tends to "leave planet Earth" and talk entire class nonstop on philosophical matters, which was putting me to sleep. But he shows that he cares about the subject and the students, and also grades everything himself - which is a great plus!

Winter 2023 - Professor Stacey was fantastic in all ways. He had very engaging lectures as was always very helpful if I had any questions. The class is comprised of two papers with several prompts to choose from and I would say it was graded not too harshly for most. If you do the readings each week, you will absolutely do well. Overall great class!

Spring 2025 - There is no doubt that Peter Stacey is passionate about the topic he teaches. He is very knowledgeable and clearly qualified to teach the class. The syllabus is straightforward and consists of two essays: a midterm and a final. On the surface, he seems nice enough. He jokes around in class and makes casual conversation. If you know for a fact that nothing major will come up in your life, go ahead and take the class, it’s honestly super interesting! However, be aware that if you run into a problem in the class for any reason, he is not very accommodating. Although attendance is not mandatory, if you miss a class, even for a medical reason or a major life event, as in my case, and ask a question about the lecture you missed, he may respond quite harshly. His position is that he should not have to explain material twice: once in class and again to students who were absent. Even if you ask to discuss what you missed during office hours, he states that “there is no individual or private tuition available to students who miss class.” To be fair, if you review the lecture slides and complete the readings, you will probably be fine. However, if you need additional support beyond that, it may be difficult to get help. As he puts it, “If, on the other hand, you feel that you want to de-enroll… then that is of course fine by me, too.” A little harsh, if you ask me.

Professor Stacey is amazing. I took History 191C with him, and enjoyed both the course material and the discussions. The class is basically made up of one presentation which is 30% of the grade, and 15-20 page paper which is 70% of the grade. I thought his grading was fair, not tough at all. Overall, highly recommended professor.
