Reviews of professor Joseph Robertshaw

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The reviews here are misleading.  If you are motivated to get a good grade and don't wait until the last minute to finish projects you will do fine.  The class can be fun and he is extremely clear about grading and what he expects.  He is also very accessible if you need help with anything.

He takes off randomly for formatting preferences that he does not tell you about. It is all based on his opinion. His instructions are all contradictory. He gives a ton of assignments to "simulate the work environment." He added a project not on the syllabus and changes the whole grading scale. It has been a horrible experience. 0/10 do not take.

He made me cry 3 times because of how much work he gives. He is really mean and rude, and I wish I could have dropped the course, but I need it to graduate. He kept harassing me on Discord for hours on end, and he kept changing his mind on what he wanted after you did what he asked. Then you had to redo it 4 times before he settled.

The class itself was pretty awful, but that wasn't Dr. Robertshaw's fault. He kept a great attitude through it all and really listens to his students. He is a kind fellow and a great instructor.

Nightmare. Avoid at all costs. I've been in this course for six days and I want to personally throw myself off a bridge. Unclear grading criteria, announcements/lectures/assignments are 90% crap and 10% useful information, and he talks like a Tumblr roleplayer over text. I'm dropping him as we speak. I didn't look him up, here's hoping you did.

He was rude to me when I asked questions about an important project for class. Unhelpful and snarky feedback. Not the most difficult work but more often than not his instructions made absolutely no sense at all.

He is very unclear in instructions. Contradictory, boring, does not speak up at all. Regardless of whether or not you complete exactly what he's asking for, it still isn't enough in his opinion.

His instructions and communications are incredibly unclear. He never answers questions in an understandable and clear way. He gives 2 days to do an assignment. He does not give adequate warning for due dates. He is incredibly rude in his communications. He needs to look at his rubric and make sure his communications meet its requirements.

Robertshaw is really good at teaching you what you need to know to succeed in the workplace. He recommends useful software and is really big on keeping records and staying on track for every project. Things can occasionally get a little confusing but he's willing to help you until you understand it and he's really lenient with grading.

Lots of homework and deadlines. Everything is detailed and understandable, though. Has clear rubrics and gives good feedback.
