Reviews of professor Karen Robbins

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
First off, I took this class when she was pregnant. And by pregnant I mean she legit gave birth the last day of class. So attendance was mandatory because well she showed up while pregnant. One on one meetings with her were fine, but she graded harshly and was passive aggressive in emails. However, I think she could be a friendly professor.

Robbins made the topic super interesting, however the class is very discussion heavy. You must do the readings to participate in class, and if you don't participate you might as well just not show up. She's super sweet, can be a little condensending, but she's always willing to help.

Karen can be a tough grader, but she offers lots of feedback and comments on your papers to help you improve. She challenges you to come up with your own arguments. She makes you work for your grade, but if you respond to her critiques and participate, you will do well. Sometimes Karen can come across as harsh, but she is so funny and very caring.

Professor Robbins is all over the place. She may seem cool when you first meet her, but you'll realize she can be very contradictory and passive aggressive. Also she grades essays unnecessarily hard, so get ready to work hard for an A- at best. The discussions we had were nice though.

Karen is all over the place. In the beginning of the semester she seemed really cool and woke but as the year went on my perception of her really changed. She is constantly changing her mind and doesn't really stick to the syllabus. Her class is only difficult because she's confusing and hard to understand. I doubt she'd fail anyone though.
