Reviews of professor Robert Augustine

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is very friendly and kind of awkward LOL but I've had several lovely conversations with him. Go to his office and get to know him as a person! Kind of a tough grader with papers, he is specific about what he wants; still he is reasonable and a nice person as well as helpful. I would take again with him.

Professor Augustine holds standards for his students that are far beyond what should be expected at the undergrad level. He is a nice person, but grades incredibly harshly and doesn't seem to understand his students on a level beyond academic journal submission. He is an incredibly tough grader and has expectations that are often confusing . Pass.

There weren't exams in this class, but the questions on his assignments were pretty useful. They were thought-provoking, rather than pure memorization from the lectures. Overall, pretty glad I took this course with him.

Professor Augustine is one of the most caring professors at this school. One day I was feeling extremely down and he talked to me and calmed me down. He understands that students can be overwhelmed and is super flexible with everything. SWEETEST MAN ALIVE!

This was Prof Augustine's first semester at Vassar, so lectures were awkward at times. However, he's gradually establishing his footing and truly cares about his students. He's very knowledgable and helpful in lab; if you follow his directions, you'll be fine. His only real drawback is how new he is, but he'll become more confident eventually.

As an intro bio class, Professor Augustine's class was incredibly lecture heavy with no discussion. He and the other professor teaching the class assigned SO much textbook reading and one homework assignment each week. If you had a conflict with homework due dates or discussion session times, they were not very understanding. Overall okay class.

Really cares about his students, can be a bit disorganized sometimes ( but it was also his first time teaching this course)
