A couple of clarifications:

1.  "[Z]ero-cost texts" refers to readings provided as PDFs.

2.  "[E]xercising kindness with ken" is my way of saying exercising kindness with awareness.  In other words, he's exceptionally supportive and truly compassionate; he views students holistically and tends to their well-being, exercising kindness with care.

This was a very enjoyable, easy, and informative class. You get many chances at the midterm/final. The only other assignments are three papers. There's a weekly live discussion session which I wasn't aware of for most of the semester (so figure out what time it's at so you can take advantage of it). Dr. Robins is very nice, caring and accessible.,

It's a fairly easy class, it's self paced, so you'll need discipline to take notes, read, and focus on lectures. But there's only 3 application papers, the midterm, and final. No homework, really. I stress the discipline you'll need. Regarding content, it was very interesting to learn about and Professor Robins is very knowledgeable and inspiring.

Dr.Robins is an absolute GEM at San Mateo College. You will walk away from this class with so many tools to do better in your own life. He teaches growth and knowledge that is practical and applicable. The learning process was easy and not stressful. He is extremely supportive in the learning process and is very responsive to any needs.

Great lectures where concepts were explained efficiently. Also, the prerecorded reviews and discussion helped me learn a lot.

Take his class!

Incredible lectures that explained the concepts clearly! It's very clear that Dr. Robins wants his students to do well in the class, being easy to reach and allowing multiple extra credit opportunities. The skills learned in this class are incredibly useful to your everyday life, and I would 100% take this class again!

The course was very interesting and not too difficult. As long as you are doing the readings and watching the lectures the class would be super easy for you. It is a self-paced online course so make sure to stay on top. The professor was very helpful and understanding. Try to add to the discussion posts as well.

All this Professor wants is to help his students achieve a good grade. I would love to enroll in another one of Professor Robins classes if it fits my schedule.
