I would have to say that Mr. Calvin Robinson is the best math professor I've had my entire school career. He is very clear and articulate, and also has a great sense of humor. He is always willing to help a student who is trying, and its apparent that he is not teaching just for the paycheck, but because he loves helping others. Take Him!

He's a really cool teacher! I'll never forget him. I'm not very good in math and he saw that I was trying so he passed me. He's very down to earth, keeps the class interesting with his since of humor.
I'm an older student, and I needed all the help I could get. Professor Robinson was there for me. I basically had to start from the begining. If it was not for him I would not pass the class.
He is a very humorous teacher who has alot of jokes...and he gives you alot of free points. But his test are very confusing. But he's a nice guy and he cares about his students.
I didnt think that I would ever have the much fun in a math class. He is easy to get along with. The class is on a point system. Go to class and participate and you will pass. He looks out for you if you try.
I'M HORRIBLE WHEN IT COMES TO MATH! i MADE ALL F'S ON MY TEST TO PROVE IT! AS LONG AS YOU TRY TO PAARTICIPATE IN CLASS AND SHOW SOME TYPE OF EFFORT, YOU'LL PASS. I DID! oH YEA AND IF YOU CORRECT HIM YOU'LL GET POINTS ALONG WITH THE WHOLE CLASS.
If you really try and put forth the effort then trust me, you will pass the class. He is very easy to talk to and if you have questions or you dont understand he will go over it again for you.
Words cannot explain, just take the class i promise u will not be dissapointed, he is helpful and very nice.
THIS MAN IS IS A WONDERFUL TEACHER I RECOMMEND HIM TO EVERYONE, HE IS WILLING TO HELP YOU IN ANY WAY TAKE HIM YOU WANT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
Professor Robinson is a great teacher he really cares that his students succeeds. He treats us with respect and also make us laugh and shares his wisdom about life. you'll pass believe it. I give him an A+
Prof Robinson is quite possibly the BEST teacher on campus. He is extremely down to earth and he has a crazy sense of humor. He does everything within his power to make sure that his students all have every opportunity to not only pass but to excel in his class! Take it from me, I'm not even that strong in math and I ended up with aan "A"!
MR. ROBINSON IS SO HELPFUL AND HE GIVES OUT EXTRA CREDIT POINTS FOR JUST GOING A MIN OVER CLASS SCHEDULE..HE IS CLEAR AND UNDERSTANDING..HE WILL WORK WITH YOU...I LOVE HIM!!!
READ WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE SAYS ABOUT THE MAN. HE'S WHAT YOU NEED IN A PROFESSOR. TAKE HIM.
EVERYBODY BELOW ME IS RIGHT. GREAT TEACHER, WORKS WITH YOU ON ANYTHING YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I RECCOMMEND HIM
The absolute deffinition of what every teacher should be for their students. FAMU's proclaimed motto "Excellence with Care", he actually carries it out. In this subject that i have no interest in he made everything crystal clear, and not to mention u get extra credit everyday for comming to class. I cant stress enuff how great of a teacher he is
Don't take him unless you want to learn about life. I didn't learn anything and I'm really good in Math. However, if you do get stuck with him, RUN DON'T WALK TO THE MATH LAB!!
He gives extra credit for anything and he gives alot of it. Test are based of sample test in the back of the book. He is very nice but will sometimes go off into talking bout life. Take him if your not good in math.You WILL pass.
DO NOT TAKE HIM! everything is crystal clear in the classroom but when them tests come BOY BOY BOY! NEED I SAY MORE!
DON'T TAKE THIS MAN CLASS! I MEAN IT! SERIOUSLY! I DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING! AT ALL! SOMETIMES HE KINDA ACTS CRAZY BUT IT'S FUNNY!
One of my favorite teachers here at FAMU. He's extremely helpful and gives plenty of extra credit. If you wanna pass and have a good time take him. I passed with flying colors, not because it was easy, but because i was actually interested to learn more.
he is the worst teacher ever.. he didnt teach me anything. when i asked him a question he told me dont worry about it. i would onyl confuse my self. like are u serious how could i confuse myself if i dont know it. all he did was ramble on about life and didnt teacher.. very bad teacher only two people pass in my class. that should say it all
This professor was easy to follow and understand.
-I Dont even rate professors.. But this a good man, he makes u laugh and he understands.. Goiing to take him again when his classes arent all filled up !!! TAKE HIMM
Well... this man is a true comedian!!! You will laugh everyday in his class. NOW... his tests are real hard. I believe it is College Algebra in general. In order to pass, you will have to go above and beyond, like seek help elsewhere. Good luck!
Very funny,his class is impossible to fail,his test are fixed in a way no one will fail,gives extra credit for everything!Although I got an A I really didnt learn anything tho.EASY A
This professor is really nice and easy as long as you try and make sure you get ALL the EXTRA credit you should pass. The best math teacher I have seen at FAMU. He's a MUST take if you want to pass.
Mr. Robinson is a great prof. He makes Trig interesting even though its kinda difficult. Overall, take him! He doesn't like to see his students fail, and he's always willing to help. Take him!! He's awesome! You won't regret it!
He is one of the best teachers of my life! I was never good at math but he make it so much fun! I have never laughed so hard in class because of the teacher so much. So much extra credit, its crazy! TAKE HIM!!
HE'S THE BEST TEACHER EVER.!
take him,... show effort.. attend class .. u pass!!!! =]
He truly is my best professor yet. Very nice and caring man. He wants his students to understand the work and he is very much helpful. Gives extra credit every class meeting. It is 98% impossible to fail if you attend class, show effort, and do course compass.
EXCELLENT that is the only word to describe this professor. the only way u fail is if you try to really!!!! i actually enjoyed going to his class and i suck at math but i learned so much and enjoyed it on top if it. you will not go wrong if you take him. possibly the best decision you will ever make in your LIFE!!!
easiest math class Ive ever taken in college. he genuinely cares about his students and makes it possible for EVERYONE to pass his class. TAKE HIM!!!
The best teacher ever, will definitely help you with your work, and/or other problems outside of school.If you just try he will not fail you
PERFECT BEST teacher anyone can ever have. He gives extra credit for his mistakes. He teaches so you can understand and simply if you fail its your fault he didn't even fail this one boy that never showed up. He cracks jokes that shows he is humerous and he give partial credit on every problem. You can score over 100% on every test. Easy Man!!!!
One of the best math teachers at FAMU!! he makes the material easier to understand, and gives the test questions before we start the chapt so you have an idea what to expect. He is super funny, and will have the class craking up! will advise anybody take this man, especially if your not good in the subject. Plus, GIVES SO MUCH XTRA CREDIT!!!!
OMG!!! Professor Robinson, is amazing. He's a funny and adorable older guy. I promise you, YOU will learn if YOU want to. Respect and courtesy goes a long way. It can get you a lot of EXTRA CREDIT points. Being vocal and participating can also get points. Please take him! Do it quick, his class fills up really fast. Cease the oppurtunity
best teacher ever,ivelearned so much in his class.As long as you study and complete course compus you will do well
I am just going to be real.He is a good teacher and he does try his best to pass you. But if you are like me where math sounds like a foreign language THE ON-CAMPUS MATH LAB IS A MUST!!! But over all he's a good teacher with a good heart.
All I can say is BEST TEACHER AT FAMU! This man will help you anyway he can. I failed most of the test and I got an A. Just come to class, show your trying, and complete your mymathlab.
great professor very helpful,keeps it one hunnid with you!!
Mr Robinson is a great man period. He does all he can to make sure his students walk out his class with some type of knowledge. I failed every test & got a B on the final & the man gave me an A in the class
Excellent instructor. Knows his stuff. Funny. Kind. Helpful.
I Absolutely Love Him. He Is So Easy But Since He Doesn't Make Up his Test The Math Department Does It May Be A Little Time Consuming And Challenging Because Of How They Worded It . He Is Very Clear and Gives Alot Of Extra Credit And Is Full Of Energy. I Highly Recommend Him To Everyone . He Is Literally Like Family To His Students. you Won't Regret It. Take Him :)
Everyone is failing right now yet we didn't withdraw. I personally fail every test but found out i wasn't the only one. and i also don't understand his grading, even i get a tutor to help me with that take home test i still failed it.
Mr Robinson is really nice I didn't understand his grading and I failed all the test but still ended up with a end of the year grade of a C. He is very helpful and is a very inspiring man you can't help but smile when he walks in the room I recommend anyone to take him.
I took his class thinking it would be easy. I failed every test, he said pass the final and you will pass the class. He gave out a lot of extra credit. I know I passed the final but got a D. I learned absolutely nothing in class.
He makes you feel like you are going to pass the class even though majority of the class fails every test. He gives extra points. I would not recommend him I did not learn anything
im not even gonna lie i HATE math and along with the rest of the class didnt do so well on the tests, but he saw that i was actually trying and he helped me the best way he could. just try and let em see that and you'll do fine
Robinson is amazing! He will explain it to you til you get he jokes with you as well. This man gives extra credit out the behind so take it all!! He will make himself available if you need him. He also gives a take home test. There is no way u cant pass this man class
Mr. Robinson is a good professor but he grades really really hard . If you don't do it the way he show you he will mark you wrong. He gives a LOT of extra credit . I literally failed all his test , I'm still waiting for my final grade in the class after the final exam. I Would recommend taking Mr. Robinson just pay attention closely in class
take him if you want to fail
Literally the worst ever. He is a very annoying man who talks about himself more than he teaches the material. If you unfortunately get stuck with him like I did, just make sure to do MyMathLab and make at least C's on the tests and you'll pass with a B or higher. I would never take him again though, honestly.
Great Professor! Goes off topic and rambles about life a lot but he makes sure that you pass his class as long as you show the effort and do the work! Hes funny and really cares about his students. Take Him.
Mr. Robinson is so funny. You will laugh more than you learn math. Don't expect for him to actually "teach" a lesson because he comes in late every class. However like two days before a test he shows you exactly what type of problems are going to be on the test. He gives out so much extra credit. He will not let you fail, he believes in helping ppl
He strives to help students and will bend over backwards for you if you show that you want to do well in his class. For his MAC 1105 Class, you do not need the book, but it would be helpful. He will not fail you, take him if you would like an easy A.
hes a very good teacher he works with you ,he talks a lot but its only because he cares. You honestly wont learn much from him and his test are hard so i would recommend getting a tutor. definitely use mymath lab and he does reviews for his test so that helps.
I love Mr. Robinson he's so funny. But he's a good professor, even though I don't like math he's really passionate about his students learning and he really helps. Your required to do math labs and 3 exams and a final. I failed all of my exams and still passed. I took him for MAT 1033.
Attend class. He'll give you extra credit for just attending. I bought the book and access code for my math labs but ended up selling it because he opened my math labs. I rarely used my book. Never did math lab assignments and still passed. He's a great professor!!!
Don't take this man if your bad at math. Math problems he goes over in class is nothing like the test. He gives alot of extra credit, 3 test are complex and not multiple choice except the final. Through out the semester he never update grades but he tells students if you pass the final you pass the class. I passed the final and I still failed.
best math professor
One of few professors who actually cares about the success of his students; even gave students his personal number the first day of class for any questions or concerns. He will not allow you to fail, even if you are failing (if that makes sense). Gives lots of extra credit points if he makes a mistake during lectures. I was GIVEN a C (not earned).
Regardless of what people say this man is NOT a good teacher, if you are a visual learner DO NOT take him, he does not believe in different types of learners. The way he teaches he skips steps on the board thinking you already know how to do the problem when a lot of students have to ask "how did you get that".
Take him if you like teaching yourself. He halfway teaches the problems like he already expects you to know how to do every problem step by step. He talk about his life stories more than helping you understand how to do problems. The problems he do go over in class are always ask differently on the test than the way he went over it.
3 words DON'T TAKE HIM! Unless you are good at math because you're basically going to have to teach yourself.
If you are okay with teaching yourself, take him. This is not an easy course no matter what anyone says. The smartest students had an issue. He WILL NOT teach. I need you to understand that if you're stem YOU WILL need this material for Calculus. I took this class and got a B without doing anything but getting to know him, but I was not prepared
He's a great guy but, on the teacher side of things not the best. He doesn't really teach very much inside of class so you'll find yourself in tutoring or on YouTube to figure out most things. He'll give you his phone # on the first day of class to contact him. He doesn't fail anyone even if you fail all the test (a lot of people did).
My first time taking college algebra was with him. I'm not the strongest in math but reviews said that he would pass us, LIE. He would only do 1-2 examples per problem and didn't really "teach" resulting is us getting out of class early every day. Of course that doesn't sound like a bad thing until you're failing every single tests.
Very inspirational HOWEVER he does not teach.
Professor Robinson actually cares about all of his students. Hes a wonderful man and while math is my least favorite subject he uses a lot of real world scenarios to break it down for you when hes explaining. Theres a lot of extra credit opportunities and just participate in class to get more. As long as you try you will pass
He's one of the best math teachers I've ever had. You have to work for your grade but he won't let you fail. Do your math labs and study for tests and you should receive a B. Class participation gets you points. Don't take him for granted.
He is very caring about his students and wants us all to succeed. He is a supplemental teacher so he expects you to do the work and he will teach where he feels the class does not understand the information. Study for the tests and do my math lab and youll be fine. Great professor.
Prof. Robinson is a great guy. He replaces your lowest test score with your highest and gives the class points added to their test grade. Really, you just have to show that you're working hard & he'll take care of the rest.
He's the Best Math Teacher At Florida A&M University HANDS DOWN! If yore not good with math please take him. if you think you're going to fail he's not going to fail you.
Overall his class was pretty overwhelming. He has a kind spirit but barely teaches, you will have to teach yourself the material and show your work on the test. At the end he will make sure the majority of the class pass
He is a humble guy but will show you how to solve a problem and move on. You will have to end up teaching yourself. Although, he's funny; funny doesn't get you an A.
Prof. Robinson will not let any of his students fail he actually cares about them. As long as you go to class and participate you will get buttloads of extra credit which will boost your grade up! we had a total of 3 test & a exam.
DONT WORRY ABOUT FAILING!!!! I had a 20% the whole semester and all I did was go to class and do the work and he made sure he passed me and everyone else in the class.
Took the course in Spring 2021 and absolutely LOVED it. He is a great person that wants to see his students pass his course. He will quite literally not let you fail. Show up, take notes, and ask lots of questions. He is very patient and will break down anything if you need more info. Barely if not no homework, just a few quizzes on the material.
Nice teacher, as long as you show youre trying he wont let you fail.
Definitely an amazing guy. Very caring. His tests are kind of hard if you can't grasp the concept. but he's an amazing help. I'd definitely take em again.
Very easy going professor and is a great instructor just tends to ramble so he can be very confusing throughout the lecture. He is super caring and wants you to pass as long as you show up you will receive a ton of extra credit.
Mr. Robinson is a great math Professor. He gave a lot of extra credit to the class and as long as you show him you are putting in the effort to learn the material, he will pass you. Very motivational. His exams were not multiple choice except the final.
Great Proffessor & Cares about his students. Gives extra credit and extra time for homework.
Very easy going professor. Is great with grades and ensuring that his students pass. Just be sure to participate and put forth maximum effort.
hes so great! if you can get him as your teacher, do it. He lets you turn in late work and gives a lot of extra credit!
im ngl, he tried his best with all of us by adding a huge amount of points to our exams, but i do think having a textbook and homework to do every week would have helped me tremendously in this class. im not sure what my final grade is yet, but ive calculated it and it might turn out to be a B- only bc i attended every class.
