Reviews of professor Robert Taber

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took his class my freshmen year (2019), and he was a pretty good professor truthfully. I'm about to graduate and was just looking for a class so I could reach the 12-credit requirement. So, I decided to look him up and see if he was teaching something. One thing about his class, I remember vividly was him making us act out historical figures.

I personally believe this professor provides a workload too heavy for full-time students. While I was excited to learn about Latin American history, I felt burnt out at the halfway mark of the semester and had no motivation to participate in class. He requires 3-4 books to be read, expected to read them in a week.

Do not recommend. While I understand online classes during this time can be hard I have never had this experience with a professor. No communication, old syllabus with no updated dates, five unanswered emails, and there was a period of time where he did not post for 2 1/2 weeks and gave no explanation, just popped back up before semester ended.

My name is Saeloni and I took HIST 110 with professor Taber. He was my only professor that actually reached out to the class with kind words during the pandemic. He was very empathetic and it easy to see he wants the class to succeed. He is very receptive to feedback and the class was manageable and easy to actually learn. Best professor!
