She is a very passionate about the material and it's easy to understand. She is very negative, you never know what to expect, and she throws a bunch of papers at you. She says it's to help you improve, but I have not at all. She is very sarcastic which makes the class funny, but you'll find yourself sitting in class wondering why you're there.

Took the class for UFOs. She was not respectful to differing opinions and would spend a majority of the class period off-topic. Lectures were long and uninteresting, which is surprising considereing the name of the class. Waste of time, would not recommend.

Dr. Robinson has high standards for her students - she knows you can do better and will help you get there. You just have to want it, too. Very intelligent, hilariously dry humor. I enjoyed every minute of her classes and was honestly sad when they were over.

At the beginning of the semester, I was set in hating Doctor Robinson. She assigned multiple silly essays and was a little on the wacky side. But as the year went on, she has become one of my favorite profs. She is extremely caring and is always open to listen, no matter what. She is crazy hilarious and made this bland class very exciting.

We wrote a lot of papers for a UI100 class, but Dr. Robinson was good at giving us feedback. Dr. Robinson was a quick grader and easy to talk to. We used our UI100 book for maybe 4 quizzes, but it wasn't mandatory. You could easily split the cost of the book with a classmate and share it, which Dr. Robinson told us in one of our first classes.

She rambles the whole class period and I never know what's going on. She assigns random papers and grades them pretty tough. She was also pretty condescending when grading my assignments. All she talks about is her political opinion and if you don't agree with her then you're basically stupid. I would never take another class with her.

Every other person that has had UI100H that I have talked to has an amazing teacher and an easy class. However, Dr. Robinson rambles on for the whole class period about politics and philosophy instead of how to do college. She assigns lots of papers that have nothing to do with what she teaches. Worst prof I've ever had. DONT TAKE HER CLASS

I would not suggest taking Professor Robinson I have learned absolutely nothing in her class. The entire class is taken up with rambling about philosophy and politics and then she assigns random papers that have nothing to do with the class! I have not gotten any feedback on any of the 6 papers we wrote. Find a different teacher like for real.

I never knew what my grade was in this class because nothing was ever entered in. Maybe it was her computers fault or maybe it was her own, but not knowing my grade at any point during the semester is incredibly irritating. She is a caring woman but rambled about the things she is passionate about instead of the things she should be teaching us.

This class had nothing to do with the road to college. It was basically her influencing her political views on the students. She assigned lots of random papers, with very vague grading criteria. Opened the book maybe twice in class. Spent most of lecture figuring out tech problems or complaining about the election. This class was a waste of time.

Bambi Robinson teaches UI100 like shes taking the class on a road trip. But instead of just going from Point A to Point B, she takes fifteen different side streets and pauses at every random rest stop to tell a story (that almost always has nothing to do with the road trip). Would not recommend unless youre into that sort of class style.

This teacher is by far the worst professor I have every had. We learned absolutely nothing to do with medical ethics. The class consists of her insulting people with different political viewpoints until class is over with. She'll ask for opinions and group discussion only to tell everyone they're wrong about opinions and why her opinion is right.

I love Dr. Robinson, she is easily one of my favorite professors and I think she is hilarious. She is very caring and let me make up a quiz that I missed when struggling with mental health. She' very knowledgeable. The class is pretty easy as long as you attend class and all of her test/quizzes are pretty easy. I would 100% take her classes again.

Im barely halfway in the semester with her as a professor and she hated everyones research paper, that shes making us all redo it. You have to figure out this class yourself because no one understands. She has to be right about everything and will not listen to anyone elses opinions. Do yourself a favor and do not take this course.

She talks about random things about her personal life more than the course. Most unorganized professor I have ever had. If you don't need to take medical ethics to graduate, don't take this course. I learned more about medical ethics through a couple YouTube videos than all the hours I spent in this class.

There are less than 10 grades in the grade book and she grades extremely hard. classes were pointless, she would talk about her opinions the whole time and criticize other students opinions. whatever you do, do not take her classes, unless you want to be yelled at all class time for your opinions or not understanding the material.

Throughout the semester, we had 3 papers, and 2 tests. Nothing else. So if you get an assignment from her, make it your top priority. And she grades you on the smallest mistakes on your papers. And your tests are essay tests, so all you do in this class is write, which is boring. Shes definitely a nice and fun person, but also an annoying teacher

Granted I haven't taken any of her more difficult classes, but Dr. Robinson was always interesting and kind toward us. She could be a little tough with grading but most of the class passed. Most of the assignments feel like busy work but if you pay even the slightest amount of attention you'll pass. UI-100 feels unnecessary as a class though.

The professor's teaching style was quite rigid. While assignments were minimal, she harshly criticized any differences in opinion. Unstuckstudy and the textbook were helpful for preparing. Not recommended for credit.
