Clearly cares about students. A bit confusing if lecture concepts are explained too quickly, but there are weekly review sessions to clear things up. Homework & quizzes didn't help me study for tests, but if you grasp the concepts you'll do fine. Review the lectures to make sure you understand each step and the reasoning behind it. Fair exams IMO.

Absolutely awful professor. Does not teach properly and exams are always short answers which is annoying, not to mention the fact that he marks right answers wrong. Also takes forever to mark things too. Cannot explain things properly.

The class could have much simpler than Robinson made them. 45% midterm and 55% final is absolutely bananas on top of that test expectation were extremely unclear. I believe with great improvements this class could be enjoyable. I enjoyed content however the testing made it dreadful. Not to mention feedback was given very late.

He's a really nice and caring person! However, his lectures are really boring as he usually just reads from the slides and his slides have a lot of information which is really annoying because you never know what to memorize and what not to. 

His exams are pretty decent but once again, the stuff we have to know is a lot.

Worst prof in the health science department. He reused old lectures and doesn't even sound like he's sure about the concepts he is talking about making it very difficult to learn. His practice questions and quizzes are very different than the exam thus not preparing us and leading to very low-class averages on both tests 68 and 65. 0/5. Be better.

Robinson is fantastic. He's constantly bringing examples from his own research into his lectures, so it feels like the material is actually meaningful/useful. He has questions every day that a random student has to answer (worth points), but you can steal and he works to make sure everyone gets points. Tests are easy if you study. He's also helpful

honestly such a kind prof! I have taken multiple classes with him (2801, 3801, 3050) and each time, he is super nice and seems like he really cares for your well-being. this class is a typical Robinson experience so if you had him before you should be fine!

I had him as a prof for 2801 where he wasn't the greatest, this course however he teaches extremely well. The material is engaging and he always facilitated interesting discussions while getting some of the material (which other profs tend to overcomplicate) across really effectively and simply. I would definitely recommend him as a prof for this
