I took Mrs. Robinson for Calc 2 and she was very helpful! Fall 2015 semester was her first semester teaching, so she was still adjusting. However, she does whatever she can to help her students understand the material, both in and outside of the classroom! As long as you pay attention to the lectures, you're for sure going to get a good grade!

Mrs. Robinson was nice but sometimes got a little side tracked while teaching. Get ready to hear stories about her meteorology degree and maybe a video (it was funny to watch).

Great teacher, she makes the classes interesting, she has a lot of homework, but if you showed up to class the homework was easy. If you had a question she would answer the question quickly and show you where your mistake was.

Mrs. Robinson was ok. Not saying she was a bad teacher but I had heard great things about her and she was just ok. She did leave early in the semester to have a baby and didn't come back. Her sub was pretty good, but nothing fantastic. I wish she had given some sort of extra credit so I could have possibly made an A instead of B.

Best Calculus II professor, and now, she's teaching Calculus III. She's gives about the same amount of homework as most math professors at Mississippi State, about 3-4 assignments per test, and depending on if you're a MWF or TH class, she gives between 3-4 test and mandatory final, that in my class, replaced our lowest test grade.

She prepares you extremely well, and the tests are 8 questions long--I personally thought they were easy, but take my advice with a grain of salt because I would say Cal is my strongsuit.

Mrs. Robinson is a top notch Cal prof as her rating implies. She cares and wants you to succeed. She will help you a ton in office hours which is especially beneficial on hwk and test reviews. Her lectures are great and she doe not tend to go too fast either.

She genuinely cares about her students and makes sure to teach everything in a way that makes sense. There's never any 'stupid questions', and she sets aside time to go over what we need to know before tests. Overall a great choice for Cal 2.

Mrs. Robinson is one of the BEST profs - and people - I have ever met. She takes perplexing Cal2 concepts and breaks them down into simple steps. She works thru many examples and leaves time for questions. She genuinely cares for her students, both personally and academically. She is super kind and understanding - if you ever can, TAKE ROBINSON! :D

Robinson really cares about her students. Her lectures are straightforward and she goes through every type of problem. If you have questions she will happily go over them. The tests look exactly like the problems from the lectures. Some of the homework can be harder than what was done in class, so always go to SI.

Amber is amazing. I took her for DE, which she doesn't usually teach. She gives me ~high school math teacher vibes~ in a good way. She has so much energy during lectures and makes the material make sense. It's a hard course, but if you can work through all the homework with no issues then the tests won't be terrible.

Mrs. Robinson is one of my favorite professors here at Mississippi State. She was always available for help when I needed it and she clarified any concepts that I did not understand. Calculus 2 can be a challenging course due to the length of some of the problems, but Mrs. Robinson helped break down each concept very well. 5/5 stars easily!

Mrs. Robinson would seem a little scattered during lecture. She would be all over the place to make her point, when it could have been taught more directly. She definitely caters to her "teacher's pets", so sit towards the front and suck up (laugh at her jokes and talk with her) and you'll do fine. She was better in Cal 2 when I took her.

I took her for Cal 2 and she was great! I had no background in calculus so I was very nervous for this course. She made learning hard topics easy and her lectures are not boring! I bombed my 1st test and the final, but still ended up with a B. Just go to class, SI, and I would recommend getting to know her a bit, and she'll be willing to help out.

Professor Robinson is the best professor I've had at MSU. She's a super sweet lady and she lectures very well. She's more than willing to answer questions in class and loves when the class interacts. Cal 2 material can be tedious (outside studying will be necessary), but she's a safe bet as a professor.

Go to class, do the homework, and ask questions if confused. Do these 3 things and you will get an A. There are 4 exams and a final, which can replace your lowest exam score. The weekly homework assignments and exam review assignments are pure grade boosters, but do take time to complete so don't wait until the last minute. Overall, a solid choice!

She goes very fast in the lectures; I would recommend buying an ipad or printing out the blank notes she provides on canvas to compensate for that. Other than that, she is a fantastic teacher and very understanding. Even if you are terrible at math, if you go to class, do your due diligence, and ask questions as needed, you should pass.

If she taught every single engineering class I would have at least a 3.9. I literally love her so much. I had her for cal II and DE, CHOOSE HER! She's amazing and is like a kindergarten teacher for college students. Although in DE, she is a tiny little bit harsher on grading considering that you're kinda supposed to know your stuff. She is fair!

She is an excellent professor. She genuinely cares about her students, and wants them to succeed. SI's essentially give you the exact same questions to prepare you for the tests.

She gives very little partial credit. If you make a little mistake on a problem, but you do the process correctly you will still get almost all of your points taken away. She claims she wants to help and "gives good partial credit", however, she does not care to give you anything points wise.

I'm sure she's a fine lecturer for lower-level Calculus classes, but was not a fan for DE. WebAssign sucks. Won't walk you through a problem you don't understand. 50 minute tests sucked. No other way to put it. I should get 1 hr 15 mins on tests if I'm in T/R. My final was by far my best grade because I actually had time to work the problems out.

The final is a large portion of your grade 25%. Cal2 is tough, I didn't see a lot of partial credit. You don't have a lot of room for bad scores, test scores are the major in your grade.
