Reviews of professor Robinson Valenzuela

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
If you know a bit about the programs you might be fine. He goes way too fast and never really has a good idea of what he's trying to do that class. Everything he does is poorly explained. He never really goes over things, he just does a quick walk through. He also never grades ANYTHING so if you're doing poorly, you won't know till it's too late.

I actually took 2630. I knew very little about maya going in. His lectures can go pretty fast but he answers any questions you have and helps you troubleshoot. Laid back atmosphere. We did 2 sculpts: realistic and stylized humans. No busywork, just modeling. Takes awhile to grade but is lenient both with scores and due dates.

Robinson was a fantastic teacher! Hes funny and knows his stuff. Great at addressing questions in depth and helping each student. Would take him again 100%

Mr. Robinson cares about your success. He has a Discord server for his classes that you can join where you can ask questions about anything, anytime and he will usually respond within a few hours to a day. You also have a lot of creative freedom on projects in ART 1630, so the class was very enjoyable. Video tutorials were also easy to follow.

Prof. Valenzuela was a good teacher. You can tell that he likes drawing and likes connecting with students. The reading for the class wasn't hard, just a small chapter a week and a paper. The lectures were pretty mandatory to attend. However, sometimes I didn't know if we were having lecture until about 10-15 minutes before class started sometimes.

He was a very nice professor. It was silly that attendance was mandatory because everything could easily be completed at home. He rarely lectured and you just worked on your own work for 2.5 hours. Assignments were really repetitive.

I made the most recent rating after this one prematurely. I apologize. Robinson ended up being very helpful in the end. Looking forward to taking more classes with him.
