I absolutely LOVE Ms.Robinson (: She made political science so interesting for me. She is cool! Her class can be an easy A+ if you do what you are suppose to and show up for class. You should DEF take her class.

She's a good teacher. Her lectures are very good, great actually. If you study for the test, then you'll pass. Pretty simple. The textbook is SUPER important. Taking notes is a good idea and read before you go to her class. She likes to know you read. The only thing is that she's always late and she can be unorganized every once in a while.

As stated abpve she can trail off topic but she will work with you if your up front and do the work and the reading she is certainly a student ally she does want to fail anyone so just do your part and you will likely get an A

She's definitely a good professor. Come to class, pay attention, ask questions if you're unsure about the work, and study. The answers come straight from the book as far as tests. HONOR STUDENTS- it was kind of hard getting all of the assignments on time due to the fact we were in a different section. So we received our assignments kind of late!

Great teacher but you must do your work. There are only 5 grades plus the final. research paper, group project, and 3 test. ALL EASY GRADE IF YOU STUDY AND READ THE CHAPTERS... THIS CLASS IS NOT HARD BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW THE WORK. Show up for class because that is a grade and her lectures are amazing. She do get off topic at times

I wouldn't say this class is necessarily easy but it isn't hard at all. There aren't that many grades so it's important to stay focused. I was slacking and decided to get on track towards the end. This was my second time taking the class (diff teacher) and I learned and was engaged in her class. I ended up with a 79 and she bumped it up to an 80.

She is very intelligent and has the entire book and pages memorized. She did not give homework, but does give extra credit. In this class the is a group project, pick your group members wisely so you don't end up doing all the work. Tests were simple and the final was the last test.

Mrs Robinson was a great teacher. She was extremely down to earth and made the lectures pretty interesting for government to be such a boring subject. There is quite a bit of reading, but other than that I enjoyed her! Make sure you show up for class and participate! Gives a lot of extra credit opportunities as well.

So I took her in the summer as a transient student and I had her at 8 o'clock and it was a pretty good course she knows the book from front cover to back over and it was kind a hard taking her in the morning she would get mad if people wouldn't answer any questions and so she would give us pop quizzes but overall she is a great professor.

Ok teacher. Very lenient though she may seem strict at times. Indecisive in regards to grading and pushes back almost all assignments (including test) . Be sure to check your grade, as it seems that her life is very hectic and she doesn't really care about her students. On top of that she doesn't allow students to access their grades online.

The worst professor I have ever had. Rude,sarcastic,doesn't respond to emails in a timely matter of sometimes at all.

This is an actual lecture class. I wish she went through PowerPoint slides throughout the class. Robinson's class isn't difficult but it takes you as the the student to do your best performance . I say read before the start of class or else you will be lost. As you're writing notes make sure they are precise and clear and highlight key points

Very unorganized but the class was easy because I took notes . Read the book and go on Quizlet or course hero because she copy and pastes tests . Safe to say I passed my final with a 98 because I studied from there. Group projects are so much drama just assign parts meet up and split the bill . Also check your grades she will forget bonus points

DO NOT TAKE HER class unless you have all the time in the world to spend on it. She expects you to put in a lot of effort, yet she barely puts any in. She is late to almost every class by an average of 30 min, she gets off topic frequently, and she forgets about important tests and assignments. Save yourself the trouble.

The difficulty of the class actually is not that difficult. It is more of the matter of how she puts things on her website and how unclear they are that make it so difficult. Another thing is she rarely explains how she wants something then when you turn it in, having no clue if you did it correctly or not, you get 15 points off. Do not take her.

Here is the deal. Prof Robinson is clear on her expectations. Attend class, participate in class, listen to the lectures and read your chapters as she indicates. This is not a tough class and she wants you to do well but you have to show up! Group project was awesome and the test are not difficult if you read. Extra credit is available. Great class

Very spiteful towards students. Missed several classes and was never on time for class. Constantly procrastinates in assigning work, lecturing, and grading. Just avoid her all together. However, I will say that she does correlate with the textbook so if you miss a class session make sure to read a chapter ahead.

Where do I even begin? Did she even read her job description? I'm guessing she didn't. I never had a teacher so bad like her. She does not know how to put in grades. She doesn't understand what extra credit (don't offer it if you don't understand the basic concept of extra credit). Most of the time her lectures have nothing to do with the course.

Because of her disorganization the only assignments we had were online tests, a group project and an opinion paper (which had nothing to do with the class). She refused to give extra credit, doesn't respond to emails, shows favoritism with grading, doesn't upload material on iCollege. She was always either late or didn't show up. AWFUL TEACHER

Some of these kids are lazy. She should have a 5 star rating. She went too easy on us in my opinion because she reopened two unit test and will take the lowest score, and gave us an extra credit assignment to help us pass. She wants everybody to pass and made this class easy during this pandemic. I love Ann Robinson and would take her again anytime
