Pros: SUUUPER nice. He's just the sweetest guy, and he has all kinds of crazy stories from his adventures in anthropology.
Interesting
Not much work- only assigns a midterm essay and a big final paper/project (plus the final exam, which is just essays). If you're good at writing you'll do well.
Cons: Class wasn't very structured (I know everyone learns differently but I need a solid structure for understanding)
Outlines passed out in class were extremely confusing and jumbled up, not much help
Overall I'm glad I took it, I'm not really sure I learned all that much because I had such a hard time with the "discussion based" atmosphere, but I got a good grade without too much work and the actual time spent in the class was enjoyable. Dr Peacock is a really interesting person and it's worth taking the class just to get to know him.

Pros: He is an amazing professor. He is one of the most humble and down to earth professors I've ever had. Despite his amazing credentials, he treats all of his students with a level of respect that I have never experienced prior to taking his course. He treats each student as a subject matter expert due to their unique experiences rather than lecturing useless academic theory. This has been my best experience since attending UNC. If you have the opportunity to take any course with Professor Peacock (regardless of your major requirements) you should take it.
Cons: N/A
Amazing professor, extremely humble and utilizes open discussion rather than pointless lecture. See Pros

Take this class! One of the easiest As I have ever received. He is such a sweet old man with a lot of information to share. A lot reading, but you can get away without doing it.
