Reviews of professor Robin Willey

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Robin is a absolute gem as a professor. He jokes around with students and gives clear answers when asked a question. He gets the class involved in breakout rooms. you can tell he is really into sociology by how he teaches and really inspires you to work hard. I Recommend him to anyone interested in taking sociology courses.

He grades so tough and its impossible to understand what he truly wants on his exams. He doesn't give enough time for exams, which wouldn't be so bad if it was just M/C. But he makes them M/C and written. He expects you to pay for renting movies/games and its a total joke that I have pay without getting reimbursed for wasting $ on the junk. BAD BAD

Robin makes his online lectures very easy to listen to, theyre short and full of good information. He also gives out easy marks basically just for showing up on workshop days and participation with your group members. He gave us a clear understanding of what to expect on the exams and I would take him again. Hes very friendly.

This is the second course that I took with Robin (first was 332), so I knew what to expect going in. I love his lectures. They are so engaging and interesting. It is true that he will throw in test questions from the lectures (rather than text) and sometime they are kind of tricky, but if you go to class you will do just fine. Great prof.

Robin is an outstanding professor. His lectures are engaging and informative, I always left his classes wanting to learn more about the topics discussed. My first two years in sociology without Dr.Willey was a nightmare.. He is by far the most caring and helpful prof within the Sociology department. & the only one with any reason Sociology classes.

He is unclear about his expectations of things especially written assignments. His exams are fully lecture-based as he asks questions based on things he said in class weeks prior to the exam as well as his opinions on things. High expectations with very low reward. It is impossible to decipher what will be on the exams. Good luck if you take him.

25% of your grade is determined by group work. Its a joke. And most classes you sit in a group and he doesnt teach. I didnt pay a large amount of money to talk to incompetent students. I paid for him to teach. Why is a large portion of my grade dedicated to group work. Lazy prof. Wouldnt take again.

For the first time teaching this recent course, Robin did a fantastic job! As a Capstone, I have to admit this is a very laid-back, fun, and enjoyable class. It is once a week, 3 hours. And if you love debates, you will enjoy this! Lots of reading and writing, but, No exams! Come to class, participate! Come to class, you'll have an easy pass! :)
