Reviews of professor Robert Layne, II

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Got a C in Theory and an A in Intro to OrCo. Unreliable about timely grading and posting assignment content. Not accessible outside of class. Unorganized when it comes to following the syllabus yet expects students to stay on top of these things. Friendly enough and a decent lecturer but take someone else if you can.

Dr. Rob is amazing and funny. He has a way of speaking to the class that is real. His tests are hard, but he got feedback from us that helped us study for them a bit better. Spend time reading.

Dr. Rob really made public speaking less anxiety-provoking. I took him during the summer and he worked with us through speeches and even practice speeches. You should read, but he covers everything in great detail in class without being too repetitive. He makes a lot of "dad jokes," which are goofy.

I absolutely hate public speaking, and still do, but Dr. Layne made it significantly less miserable for me than it's been in the past. He's one of the more understanding professors, and makes it clear from the start what to expect from his class. You could probably get by without the book if you don't miss class, but I wouldn't recommend that.
