Reviews of professor Robert Boller

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Ive had the pleasure of having Dr. B as my professor for 3 courses in my tenure in Communications Studies at SFSU. Without a doubt, in my 24 years of schooling, he is the best professor I can say Ive had the pleasure of knowing. He knows how to read a room, is empathetic, caring for his students, and is lenient. Ive learned an immense amount

Great guy and very knowledgeable. I wish his class included more theory and less practice. It's hard to put to practice what you haven't really been taught. Class had a very loose curriculum and he seemed to make up assignments on the fly. Not a bad class per say, but I didn't learn much.

One of my favorite teachers ever! His class is so engaging and fun. For the most part it was a lot of class discussion and rather than feeling like a class it felt more like a conversation between friends. 1 interview, 1 book review, 1 speech, 1 midterm and 1 final. His feedback is also really good, though he's a bit disorganized he's still awesome

Boller is a really nice guy but his lectures tend to run a little slow. He's open to hearing new discussions and opinions and really allows his students to speak their mind. Many group projects, 1 midterm, 1 final. Super easy class, show up and pass!

Dr. B was a fantastic personality in the zoom rooms, very clearly experienced and educated in the topics he discussed, but also understanding and never alienated those who struggled. Gave great feedback on any presentations and debates, and helped many to understand the topics. Even tried his best to make every lecture despite medical issues.

Didnt think Id like this class but this ended up being my favorite class of the semester. His idea of the class was some days lecturing, outside activities, and talking with your peers. I highly recommend taking Dr. Boller, he was my favorite professor for the semester. Workload is pretty light and he made our class feel like one happy family.
