Strange class, but made it interesting. She's strange, but funny.
She favors girls over guys. test are hard. And she brings her crazy kid with her sometimes, who is a little brat
This is a hard class and she asks a lot of her students. If you are looking for an easy UI 300 don't take her.
Awesome, she'll bend over backwards for you if you show some type of effort. Honestly cares about the student as long as you're not an ****.
She is kind of crazy, but awesome! She makes her classes really interesting. She always uses more than enough examples to help you understand concepts and her projects and assignments are awesome! Her little girl is hilarious and a frickin genius!
Dr. Bambi rocks!!! She is an awesome teacher and makes UI100 not seems so dumb! She really opens up your mind and see beyond the box!!!!
no teaching ability
She's strange, but in a good way. Usually makes class entertaining.
She's alittle weird at times, but not in a bad way. She's very entertaining and makes the class easy to understand. The only problem is that her daughter is there frequently and she can't seem to control her.
If you do the work and show some sign of being an intelligent being, this is an easy A.
Good teacher if ya don't mind listening to her complain about her injuries she causes herself all semester long. She fell down some steps and complained for 6 weeks. It got so old.
I dont even know if she still teaches this class. i had her a couple years ago. she made us watch the matrix, acted like she was god, hated men, and brought her annoying kid to class all the time. She told me i should be more serious when i was trying to be. Loser teacher
Lacks teaching ability, you'd be better off reading a book. Some lectures were a total waste of time not as substantial as one would expect for a senior level class. She gets off the topic and should improve her ability to focus and to stay on track. Notprofessional bringing personal life to class
Dr. Robinson is the most egotistical professor i have ever had. She is condensending,and thinks she is right all the time. Even if you have a valid point she just disregards it as if you were an idiot. I would strongly suggest taking this class from a different teacher!!!
Triple threat: boring, picky, and inconsistent with grading. Hopefully she'll get around to grading your assignments when she's in a good mood. Otherwise, you're outta luck. Also, she's arrogant and hates men (and attractive women). Stay far away. Should not be teaching.
Holy hell, does SEMO even try to find good teachers? I wouldn't trust this freak to clean my house, much less try to teach me a business class. In her defense, she's not a business teacher, but a pscyhology teacher, which I guess gives her some license to be flighty and weird. Take another class.
this has got to be the biggest mistake that SEMO has ever made, employing a "special teacher" Do not put yourself through this teachers nonsense. she is borderline retarded.
This teacher is... well "special" doesn't quite cover it. She talks about the most retarded things, she ALWAYS thinks she's right, even when your point is valid. Her little redhead brat comes into class and it's so annoying. ew. basically she's egomaniacal, her teaching sucks, but if you show (fake) interest, it's easy (but annoying).
I usually try to not judge people, but this woman is very different. She gets off the subject material all the time, especially when her little girl comes into class (at least once a week). She constantly preaches to us about what a terrible world we live in and criticizes the University. Overall, a tough grader and not very professional.
Bigfoot is the easiest class I've ever taken. Take notes in the class (there isn't a lot to take) and use it on the test. She does bring her kid to class and she's a huge pain in the ass.
She's a great teacher if you're a philosophy major or minor or at least interested in the topic.
The first time, I took this class she divided the class in half. The right sided passed the left side failed. I failed and retook the course the following year under another professor and earned an A. She did not have the daughter, when I took the class, but she had recently been Artificially Inseminated and told us about it, twice a week.
Do not take her class, you WILL regret it. If I hear her say "smarter than the average bear" or "is your sweetie a loathsome toad" one more time, I might actually go insane.

Absolutely horrible, just an awful teacher. She's never steeped foot in the business world and she's the most biased teacher I've ever had. Save yoursef a semester and take a different class!
hope you like writing theres 7 papers(4; 2page case studies, essay midterm,1; 10 page research paper with 10 credible sources bibliography, essay final) shes going blind so page lengths can be easily met with font and size.
She expects a lot. This was probably the most difficult 100 level class I have been in. She grades somewhat hard. Go to class, sit in the front. She seems to prefer females to males. She's not that bad, she does not ever admit to being wrong though. And her kid will come to class, and it is incredibly annoying and distracting.
There is a lot negativity on here. She's actually really good. Her classes make you think and you are challenged. She's easy to get off topic, but its fun to argue with her. The papers are easy, and there are only two tests. I have had fun. It's a UFO class, so it has never been boring. You can miss and not fall behind.
She doesn't support any of her claims or opinions with facts or reasoning, which is surprising for a philosophy professor. Gets off-topic very much and talks more about her daughter than the course material.
I took this class as an honors class, and it was terrible. I would not recommend her for anyone. I got an A in her class, but it sucked. We only had 3 tests and a couple papers for our grades the whole semester.
The worst teacher I have ever had. Do not take her. She expects way to much out of you and does not try to help in the least. Furthermore, in class she makes the ludicris claims. She is just terriable.
Probably one of the hardest UI 100 classes. If you want to take this class because you are interested in the paranormal, think again. You don't really learn much about the paranormal but you have to write 6 papers, a big project and the tests are out of a book that we rarely ever use in class. My advice, take another UI 100 class.
I have to say, I thought by reading these comments that I was going to regret this class, WRONG! Dr. Bamabi is awesome! I took this as my first Honors course. And trust me, just because your in Honors, it does not mean you like to do work. She is funny and really makes the class interesting. Midterm and Final are the only tests and 2-3 FUN papers!
Great professor! She makes Philosophy interesting. Gives papers but they're only 3-5 pages and she explains what to do. Don't buy the book, she uses he own and they're way better. Her tests are short answer, no multiple choice, but if you payed attention and had fun with the class they're a breeze. TALK! She likes conversation. Extra credit on test
Terrible teacher. She would only talk about things that she liked and even if she was wrong she would claim to be right. Tests are over things that we never went over in class aand if your oppinion is not like hers then you will fail.
Dr. Bambi is thought to be a "great!" teacher by many... but really she is actually a pretty horrible teacher. the only reason shes a great teacher is cause she is weird which keeps things interesting and u dont fall asleep. But she does always claim to be right even when not and refuses to listen and her test are very confusing and graded weird
I was extremley excited to take this class and then it was deffinaltey not waht i expected. I was so disappointed and didnt really like her teaching style. Shes often one sided and dosent make sense. ALso she never lets you know where we are at in the book but appaenly, now that its the end of semseter, we hear we should read it for our final.
I still say Dr. Bambi is the best teacher ever! This is a PHILOSOPHY class!! NOT an opinion course. The point is to learn the beliefs of some of the greatest minds in history, not try to prove them wrong. If you're EXTREMELY closed minded, please don't take this course. Due to this professor, I changed my major to philosophy. NOT an easy A. LEARN!!
AMAZING!!! I love Bambi!!
Overall, a fairly good professor. She doesn't use any technology in her classes and also does not have a website to check grades. I would have liked this class better if tech was implemented more. Reading the book is a must as most the information comes from the book. ATTEND CLASS!!!
Horrible teacher. Treats all classes as if they are Philosophy Grad majors. Does not give partial credit. Word answers EXACTLY as she has them worded, or face a 0%. If you disagree with her in papers or test answers, you miss that question- simple as that. Horrible horrible experience. Ruined a 4.0 for me and many others.
I Loved Bambi's classes. She goes over everything very clearly. A lot of the class is just thinking about what you're told, or what you read, because it is philosophy. I found this class to be very easy and it's definately worth taking.
We had to write a paper comparing two philosophers and say which theory we agreed with most. I did this paper, and very well I thought. I get in back, got an A- on one of the guys, and a zero on the other. I couldn't believe it. And her little notes were completely wrong. I did read it, and I had to turn it in early!
She is an okay teacher as long as you attend class and pay attention to the material, and comprehend it (which she makes easy). Definitely a fun teacher, very rarely bored in class.
This is one of the worst teachers I have ever had. In the middle of class I actually got up and said "I can't take this anymore" and left the class. I dropped the class that day! I took the same course with a different prof. and received an A. She hates men, is biased, and won't provide specific direction despite proactive interest in learning.
She makes you think and you'll have to do work, but it's really not challenging if you just do it. Also, she's very helpful and class is hilarious and fun.
Dr. Bambi is a great teacher! The only work you have are essays and the midterm and final. She is always available to meet with about the essays before you turn them. Each class you take notes over a new reading and you really don't need to read the book. She expects you to think and that's about all. Easy easy class! Plus, she does studyguides!
Do no take this class if you're not prepared to listen to an insane lady ramble on about nonsense for hours. Staying awake is a challenge and her tests are ridiculous. The essays she makes you write are pointless,and she grades super hard. I would never take her as a teacher again. I HATE going there.
I had Bambi for UI100H (UFO's). No, the class hardly covers strange things. It's all Univ. Studies BS. She hates anyone with another view that her own, hates sorority girls(or pretty girls), she is a feminist. Is not clear with tests. Give the same grade on every paper if she doesn't like you. Don't take her class, she belittles people. Steer clear
HATED this class. I was so looking forward to this class and it was nothing that I expected. She babbles on during the whole class period about nothing that really pertains to what we are learning. Very boring and hard to follow. Your supposed to read the book but she rarely mentions that.
Dr. Robinson is a psycho in a good way. I looooved this class last year for UI and learned a lot about critical thinking and bigfoot
She is very odd, but overall a good teacher. However, she is not an easy teacher so if you're looking for a class you can just show up for, don't take it with her. She is a good teachers though.
She is a little weird but kind of entertaining. She grades papers very harshly and does not offer much help on them.
Good class and an easy if if you put the effort in.
Probably the most difficult teacher I've had in 2 years of school. Lectures on and on about the zombie apocalypse, she's obsessed with it. It will be brought up every class period. Don't question her, she immediately disputes it. Answers must be exactly how she wants them and she can spot "BS", so if it isn't the answer she taught, you're wrong.
She makes the class very enjoyable and if you pay attention it is pretty easy to get an A in.
Bambi may be the weirdest teacher I've ever had. She cares about her students and sometimes brings snacks, but show up to class or you won't pass. She talks about her daughter all the time, which is kind of annoying. Be prepared to talk about things you don't care about because you will talk about them.. a lot. Overall, not a terrible class though.
If you are a conservative you will be chastised by Bambi. She has closed her mind to anything that isn't pure socialism. Also she will regularly alert the class of her disdain for men.
ESP, UFOs, and Bigfoot?? I think not. More like Philosophy, Philosophy, and oh yeah Philosophy. If you do not like/understand philosophy do not take this class. Also, never question her. She is always right no matter what. Never ask a question because you will be put down. She assigns tons of papers, one a week, and grades really hard.
This class was the worst decision I have made thus far. She assigns many irrelevant papers that you are only allowed to use Library resources on & the topics are things the library doesnt have resources about. She is a tough graded and talks too much about how great Philosophy is. I have learned nothing is this class at all. DONT TAKE IT.
Made class interesting and is a good option for an honors contract (there's no paper!). the only tests are midterm and final. Otherwise there are 4 case studies and a term paper.
Nothing is handed to you. You must work for it, and that makes every point that much better. If you do the assigned readings, participate and pay attention you will pass. I look forward to taking more of her classes in the future.
At first this class was a pain, but as the semester progressed I grew to like this class and like her. Bambi is completely willing to help students if they ask for it, as long as she sees you in class most of the time. We get off topic a lot and goof around. She understands how honor student's brains work. Just go to class and you will pass!
I hated this class. Rarely did we ever talk about UFOs, ESP, or Bigfoot. Only tests were a midterm and final, and they had material on them that was never even brought up in class. Very hard to follow, and most the time we were off task talking about zombies or other irrelevant topics. A LOT of papers, almost one every week. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!!
Okay, so this class was very terrifying at the beginning. Bambi is a pretty cool professor and always makes the class fun and she goofs around when talking about the topics. However, if you don't understand philosophy at all you will suffer. She grades VERY hard, but she did let me redo a few of the case studies because I didn't do it correctly.
Very funny and energetic. She is easy to get along with bu there aren't many grades and the material is pretty tough for a 100 level class.
She is a great professor. She makes class enjoyable and I thought she was a good choice for an honors contract. (I didn't have to write a paper or do a big project). I learned a lot from her class and wish I had more classes to take with her.
Philosophy instead of course outline
Tests you on small, irrelevant topics in her lectures and gives homework that has nothing to do with the course description. She's funny, but taking her for a UI100 class won't teach you very much about the basics of being a college student. You will, however, have to write a paper over one word if she says it and you ask her what it means..
Dr. Robinson is very fun and entertaining, but she constantly rags on her students about how they are "honors students" as if we should be able to already do everything she is teaching. She is a Philosophy professor, which is great if you want to learn philosophy, but no so great if you want to learn how to be a college student.
Do not take this class if you have no interest in Philosophy! I repeat DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS and if you must, do not take it with professor Bambi. She is so confusing and spend an hour of class talking about things that do not relate to the class. she doesn't give homework, assigns 3 papers the whole semester plus Mid-term and Finals.
Be aware that certain beliefs are not accepted in this classroom. ex: any belief besides her own. It is okay to choose to not discuss some topics, not belittle others who feel differently, labeling them as "uneducated". Very disappointed with the professionalism of this professor which is unfortunate because she understands honors students well.
This class requires 4 two paged papers, an 8-10 page term paper, and an essay midterm and final. This isn't a very heavy amount of work, but she is an extremely strict grader so writing "A" worthy papers takes a lot of time and work. I wouldn't advise you take this class unless you have strong writing skills and have an interest in ethics.
Not a professional teacher at all. Is not accepting of any other beliefs, very left-wing and she constantly boasts about it and bashes on anyone who disagrees with her beliefs. Stayed in the class for about 2 weeks but it was sincerely intolerable. Especially as a freshman at SEMO this is a class I would most certainly avoid at all costs.
Bambi Robinson is a teacher I might take for my UI class, but not take her Philosophy class. She will ramble on and go off topic on a regular basis. Plus she only has tbe essay, midterm, and final grade. Her tests are also written, which I thought I would like, until I did them. If it doesn't agree with what she believes than you'll fail the class.
I would not recommend this professor to anyone. The class itself is interesting and we talk about very interesting topics. However, the professor is very negative towards students and is not very helpful. She says 'A' is mastery, so don't expect an A, even if you are a 4.0 student. Also, be prepared to write and be criticized a lot.
She's overall a pretty bad professor. She thinks that every entry level class should be as hard as hers. She often mouths the University and the other people in her department. She doesn't clearly explain anything. If you don't know what's going on, she doesn't care, she wants you to fail. Don't take the class unless you have to.
She is a very opinionated person and can be difficult to get along with at first. But after a little while it is easier to understand her humor. She will make you work for your grade. Everything is explained very well. The information can be confusing but she makes it easy.
She's pretty dope, a true gem in a sea of coal (the non clean kind, like the kind that Trump likes). Her grading is pretty tough but if you ask for help she'll love to help. Overall, great experience even if the class was a little more work than what I expected. :))))))
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.
Shes pretty wild, thats for sure. If youre not into deep thinking and crazy hypotheticals, youll hate it. But shes hilarious and super fun, and super understanding.
She needs to make sure that she puts grades in. I had no idea what my grade was until the end of the semester when she finally put them in.
Terrible teacher. Has a total of 5 assignments mess up on one assignment and youll bomb her class
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.
Assigned several silly and useless papers. Very nice lady but wasn't open to different opinions about topics. I recommend taking someone for this class.
She likes to ramble., A LOT, which isn't helpful.
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.
Terrible professor. Rambles on all class period about her political views, never really learned too much about ethics honestly. She is very egotistical and thinks she is the best ever. there was only 6 grades total the whole semester and it took months to get the grades back. One of the worst professors i have ever had
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
Man I sure do wish I could see my final grade. Too bad "the grade book is broken". In just her class. And nowhere else. Find a different class to take.
She made rude remarks to classmates for having opinions that differed from hers. We had little to no assignments which she criticized heavily and made us redo. Would not take again
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.
Spends most of class periods talking about herself. Usually gives homework daily.
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.
