Reviews of professor Mike Roberson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Honestly, he was a pretty good prof. He's a tough grader but it's nothing that isn't deserved, he just pushes you to be better. His lectures were really in depth and it personally helped me alot to better understand concepts. He's super nice and understanding and easy to get ahold of outside of class.

Lectures were often off topic. Super tough marker without any real criteria as to what he really wants in the assignments. No rubrics at all.

He is the hardest marker I have had! It was my very first class and it is supposed to be intro to university writing. He marks so hard... SOO HARD. I worked my ass. If you are taking eng 115 and are wanting to be graded reasonably take another course.

Mike is a really nice guy and definitely cares about his students. But his expectations are way too high for a first year English class, and he gets very hung up on certain details. A lot of the marks from him are low for frustrating reasons. He does offer lots of chances for extra credit to boost your mark though.

He is a very nice teacher who cares about our well being. Always cheerful and knowledgeable in his lectures. But... he is without a doubt THE TOUGHEST GRADER I have ever had from a professor. While my degree doesn't have a required grade, its not going to be good :/

Mike was very kind and approachable and had very great lectures. He sets you up great for all your assignments and exams, but he was a tough grader. He is very detailed with his marking, but his marking is so unreasonable.

Honestly, he is not awful but I did not learn much in this course. Tries hard to be relatable but is not successful. He means well but is a VERY hard marker and is not clear on how to get better without asking specific questions and going out of your way.

Mike seems to care about his students, which is a wonderful trait to have as a professor. Unfortunately, he has unrealistic expectations for his first-year classes, which can result in poor grades (especially if you lack prior university-level writing experience). After completely his class I feel as though I didnt learn as much as I should have.

Mike is a really nice person, very funny and makes class interesting. However, he is an incredibly tough grader to the point that it seems a bit unfair. I am in a first year Engl class and everyone in it is there for credit, but he grades us like we're third year Engl majors. Do not take this class if you aren't a strong Engl student.

Thorough grader but fair. He's easily accessible via email and gave great directions when asked for help. I would definitely take his class again, he loves what he does and wants to spread that passion. He gets a bad rap on here but it's all a matter of opinion.
