Reviews of professor Robin Clugston

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Goes through the slides as fast as he possibly can, then dismisses the class 20 minutes early just because he wants to leave. He cares more about leaving than he does about actually teaching the material properly. Had two lectures with him, both of which ended 20 minutes early and left the class dazed and confused because of his speed.

Taught GI. Definitely much more optimistic this semester now that he is teaching about something that he is clearly passionate about. Cracked jokes a lot more often as well. Similar to last semester, loves to test on really specific details on the midterm but his questions for the final were more than fair. Tough marker for term paper though.

Taught the cell section. Can talk quite fast sometimes but he explains the information well. Slides are comprehensive but he can read off of them from time to time. Gave us a question that he mentioned a single time very briefly on our midterm though.

Dr. Clugston's GI lectures were straight to the point and really fun imo. His questions on the test are also really straightforward if you pay attention to the lectures. Regarding the term paper, he's a pretty easy marker as long as you put enough effort and time to the paper. Big dubs for cluggy!!!

Overall pretty boring and unenthusiastic. Could probably have put a crack addict to sleep. Fairly unprepared and seemed like he wanted nothing more than to finish the lecture as quickly as possible and leave. If you pay attention in class it will be pretty obvious what his exams questions will be and the questions aren't hard.

I don't know why Prof Clugston has such a low rating. He teaches the GI section in PHYSL 214 and I think he's great. His lectures are to the point, and he's very clear with what you need to know vs. what you don't. He makes lectures interesting and is pretty funny. Honestly one of the best lecturers I have had.

Teaches by far the easiest topic in physl210 and then dips. I can respect that.

Cell physiology lecturer. Fair test questions however he was very boring. Spent a lot of time on easy concepts and breezed over the harder stuff (second messengers). Overall his easier questions make up for his lectures.
