I'm learning so much in this class!  Hands-on things I can use in my career. Great professor - very caring and generous.  If you can - take her class.

group com class that literally is all group work - you pull what you learn Into what you do. great way to connect the concepts. professor robins suggests in her lectures about the content and how we are working as a group. learning so much more here. great class to take

Amazing class. The final project was pretty helpful because it allowed me to synthesize everything we had been doing up until that point on a conceptual level. It helped me see a common thread between
my personal life and my professional life that I hadn't previously seen.

She has a condescending attitude towards her students. She has an insane grading policy, if you submit a day late, that results in a 50% deduction. She has such a chip on her shoulder, as she will openly kick students out of class for looking at their phones and will kick people out if they are on their laptops, and it's a gen-class.

the readings are provided and the class is discussion around a topic each week and we have to present.. it's good and interesting.. participation is key and you have to do the readings which start out small but build. professor robins guides the conversation if it gets too opinionated but it's always interesting

It was her first time teaching this class so I give her credit for improving the class over time. However, lectures were very boring and she would move on from slides quickly. Overall not the worst class.

She is an AMAZING professor. The homework is so easy. The lectures are so entertaining, and she made me want to minor in comm. If you want to learn and get a good grade take this class. She only gives two tests, and if you prepare you are fine. She will always let you out early, and cares a lot about her students that want to learn. Must take.

I have never been so conflicted when writing a review. Honestly the class was not challenging. The problem with Prof. Robins is that she is unforgiving for no reason. I had to go home for a wake and funeral during the semester, and because of her unforgiving attendance policy I had to pick and choose. She is also a poor communicator, shocking.

Professor Robins was very clear about course expectations and created lectures and assignments that were insightful and contributed to my understanding of the course. She was very helpful and included rubrics for our papers which made writing them much simpler. If you want to take a valuable course in comm at Bryant, take Prof. Robins class!

pretty good class w lots of group work  expected upper level independence that can be challenging if you don't do well with time management (and groups- lol)
