Unfair, moody
needs to work on consistency, very very moody
Very passionate about her field of expertise. Same desire passed to students. Expects you to develop a higher level of thinking. Although, her personality is one of you like her or you don't. To each his own. My experience has been wonderful.

She's a really nice teacher, hard, but nice. I've learnt the most from her in both enc1101 and 1102 then I have with any other english teacher in my life. She's very enthusiastic in teaching, and wants you to get the most out of every class.
As long as you do your work she is a wonderful teacher. She is very helpful, cares a lot about her students, and she is very easy going. She likes getting out of class early.
Somewhat difficult class, assignments were not very clear on what was needed and expected. Very picky about our essays
If you can get past her personality and moodiness, you can do ok. It's pretty much you must be self-motivated because she can be very weird so just attend class, do your work, and try not to let her personality get in your way.
I wouldn't advise taking this instructor for any class. This school has a lot of great professors, it's almost impossible not to get a good professor. However, this lady is really weird and moody. If she decides she doesn't like you, good luck!!!
I took her American Lit 1 class. She is hard on the essays, but if you want to do well, she will help you. all you have to do is ask. I loved her lectures on Hawthorne and Emerson. She also allows you and expects you to think for yourself. Take Her class!
THIS PROFESSOR IS AWESOME. IF YOU GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THE COURSE YOU WILL DO GREAT. IT IS NOT HARD TO MEET THE OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE. SHE ACKNOWLEDGES ANYONE WHO GOES TO OUTSIDES SOURCES.
First impression: Oh dear, what'd I get myself into. She seemed too sweet, like she was merely pretending in order to gain our trust. I expected to come back the next day to a raving lunatic, luckily, I didn't. She turned out to be one of the best english teachers I've every had. Very passionate.
Worst teacher ever, I took her as a dual enrollment student and she tried to tell me I had A.D.D.
VERY late on turning back work, total control freak: it's CREATIVE writing & she tells us exactly what our plot has to be, what our "theme" has to be (family), like we're still in Comp I. she won't stay after class, because she's "been here since 11" & is "so tired." VERY condescending & didactic
Well, interesting as the classes were...you gotta watch this one. Sweet as pie one minute, the next ripping your guts out. If she likes you, you are golden; if she doesn't, you are toast. Stay out of her way, do your work, and never tell her you are from the south, christian, or a Republican...
OMG.. Run!!!! She's the only CRW prof, but RUN! Take the class somewhere else. What a spazz!

If you do the assignments like she asks you will do good in the course. However, if you go above and beyond in her class you will do better. She is a great teacher who wants the best for her students, I would recommend her to anyone.
Oh man, should have read this board first. Moody doesn't even begin to describe it. I got an A, but I'd rather stick my head in a pile of dung than take her class again. Not one ounce of respect for creativity or new types of writing at all--unless you are her pet. She has her little pets who are always perfect!
Well, she is definitely not the best teacher around, but it was easy enough to get an A in the class. I basically dislike English Comp. That was my real problem.

I think she's great, even thugh I had to drop her class cause my head wasn't on straight...She's a brilliant woman
I liked creative writing before I took her class... No respect for the creative spirit. What a waste of time and money.
awesome teacher, awesome class!
she is an awesome teacher who cares about her students and what is going on with them. she will let you come to her office without bothering her. she is demanding on research papers but will let you redo them if you need to. expect seminar discussions and group activities on a regular basis in this class
She is a GREAT teacher!! She is very understanding and helpful. She wants everyone to do well. Take her, she is WONDERFUL!!
she keeps you on your toes and makes you think past what you are reading. she is very passionate about the subjects and she lets students come up with their own opinions and discuss it amoung themselves.
I took this online with her. Run away now ! She was moody and typed rude email in all caps. She graded very hard. Also has no concept of what you have to print for online class. She required a journal to show perfect writing and hundreds of pages of notes from online sources. God help you if you put "you" in a paper. Please do not take her.
Dr. Robison has been a good supporter and mentor. Need more class active discussion to re-enforce the grammar lecture. However,she is A+ teacher.
This teacher seems to love teaching and offers help if you ask. made me actually like poetry!
Great Teacher and mentor. Her classes are interesting and she makes you want to write. She obviously loves what she teaches. Show some interst, go to class - she'll give you the right path.
Fantastic class and great teacher. Lots of seminar discussion and HARD tests, but lots of learning too.
Took dr. r for prep english.it's a hard class but boy did I learn about writing and grammar. she is reely nice.
This professor's passion for literature is contagious. I left the first night of class feeling inspired--and the inspiration never stopped the whole semester. She offered critical review of my papers that benefitted me more than any other professors before her or after her.
This is the subject where she reigns! If you are interested at all in poetry, sign up for this class fast. She will take you far!!!
I learned alot from her.She did a great job. She helped everyone in the class if anything needed. I passed with an A in my final. I will take her again.
I really enjoyed Dr. Robison. I was a little worried when I read her ratings before I took her class but she isn't as bad as some make her out to be. She knows her subject and will always be there to help you, you just have to make an effort. Her tests are easy. She is very understanding. Just give her respect and you will breeze through her class.
I love English, and so does she. Expect hard core mental challange when it comes to your ability to write with poetry. She is hard but good.
Alright, I am on both sides of the fence. First I love English, SHE lives and beathes english. Yes she can be understanding and she can also flat out be mean and rude. Is she justified when she does it yes, people this is college and you are accountable
I enjoy her class and she was very helpful when you asked for it. I will be taking her again for enc1101 in the fall this year.
She is fair to her students- FAIR people. Doesnt mean she is a push over, doesnt mean she is mean. She gives students a chance but also wants them to take responsability for themselves/their grades/their work. SO if you want to LEARN then take her. If you are looking for an easy A and a easy class you can sleep through, find someone else.
Great motivator and mentor. Cares about her students.
Great learning experience. Her passion for the writers was evident in the content of the class.
This professor is amazing! Take this class if you are serious about literature and learning new things. I also had her for a year of creative writting and that class is also really great. She allows a lot of room for your own thinking and respects your work as long as you respect each other. Take this class if you are serious and you will do well!
She's is a much experienced teacher, but at the same time learns with us students. her class is all about improvement. you will be amazed at how much you will grow after taking her class.
This teacher is my savior for writing! She will find your inner poet and feed your muse until it grows with the wisdom that she so lovingly shares with all of her students. The class is a challenge to look into yourself and pull out your best. Dr. Robison is simply your guide as she puts it. And definately learns along with us all!! Take her class!
Wonderful teacher! Care about students and will push you farhter than you thought you could go. quirky, but kind personality. Has a PHD so take her class if you can!
shes awsome. really cares about her students and pushes you to do your best. take her if you can! actually made me like poetry. great teacher.
Smart woman, passionate about writing and language. Lousy teaching methods. Wants everything done exactly her way, including note taking--do not stray even a bit. Instructions are often unclear, flaky about due dates and assignment details. Highly recommended if you like "fill in the blank" style assignments.
Very challenging professor but if you do your part there is no reason not to do well in her class. She is extremely willing to assist in every way. Very fair. Loves and knows the subject well. Use time wisely.
Best English teacher I have ever have.Really cares about her students...you can tell she loves English...what's better than learning from someone who has passion about what they do.
Dr. Robison, is a great prof. I enrolled in ENC 1102 for the summer and it was great. The class was fast, but not hard at all. If you follow her teaching style you can earn an "A"
She is like mary poppins meets the exorcist!She is extremely anal about things being done her way. I did great on her essays but, her grammar tests are HARD and make no sense. I actually love how she teaches "writing skills" but can't stand how she taught grammar. For the most part she's not bad... just don't get on her bad side.
The best by far, Please do not waste her time. If you are not there to learn go home. She is one of the most education, respectable professor I have had the pleasure of being taught by. Enjoy her, she is strict but worth it!!
I was 1 of her favorite students, but only because I worked the politics of it.She is moody & I have noticed **** under tones in some of the things she's said.She seems to be very knowledgable but don't try&be creative unless it's her suggestion. She is hardcore. DO NOT come in this class with a High School attitude because u will get it adjusted
She was an awesome teacher!!! Was always willing to help me out and make it easier for me to understand. I am going to take her again for ENC1102. Just becasue I love her. :)
Made me love English. Always knows how to make things easy and helps with anything. Dr. Robison is a great teacher.
Dr. Robison is a bit of a moody, old-fashioned type of woman, who can get very particular with assignments (especially about following MLA format!), but she really is an amazing professor. Even though she seems very cross, she has the general well-being of the class in mind, and definitely enjoys her job, making her a joy to learn from.
Very helpful professor and loves her job and knows a lot about teaching!
I absolutely adore Dr. Robison-Yes, she can be hard, but that means that you are not willing to work or learn. She is helpful, responds to emails and LOVES her job! If you love English this is your Prof. If not- she will help you to understand it better and maybe even learn to love it!
Dr. Robison is a fantastic Professor if you love Reading and learning about literature. Took this class online and even though it was summer I was able to complete this course with a high grade. She really loves and knows her stuff. I have never liked the "classic" authors such as Hawthorne and I have learned to appreciate the greatness of the man.
I absolutely hated Poetry. This class is FULL of poetry, but Now, I love it. I had no clue that I could even write but thanks to Dr. Robison I learned quickly what it took to get my heart involved. This is my 3rd class with her and If that doesn't tell you anything then- here goes: She is a fantastic Professor. If you work hard, you will excel.
AMAZING PROFESSOR! This was her last semester so I hope she sees this. Thanks so much for all you did for us! We will miss you. `JC`
She is THE professor for Creative Writing. Not sure about other classes but for CRW she KNOWS how to teach it. Even if your not into CRW, she has some very interesting stuff to show.You must be in class. Made great effort to make everyone comfortable in critique. If you do your portfolio correctly there is no reason not to get an A.
Great professor. I took the online claas-just need to do your work and you will be able to do well.
Great class! If you do the work, you will pass this class. She gives you all the resources you need to succeed. She is very helpful and always offers comments on how you can improve or if you did a great job. I highly recommend her. She loves what she does and you can tell.
I am currently in this class and I hate it! She is a very tough grader and will give you her speech about having 30,000 students over the last 20 years and she knows what she is doing! English has always been a very easy subject for me, but she is ridiculous. I will be avaoiding her for English 2.
Gives a lot of work, and a hard grader. It's her way or the highway.
Very knowledgeable but also very strict.
Dr. Robison is an amazing teacher! She is always there to help you with whatever it may be. She is always cheerful, and outgoing and really enjoys teaching. If you're respectful, show up for class every time, do your work, and pay attention in class, there is no reason as to why you won't get an A. Work for your grade and you'll do fine!
I took the online class on summer B. The essays had complicated directions, unclear expectations, and the quizzes included many trick questions. I followed all her directions on each essay and received grades that ranged from 80 - 100. I finished the class with an 89.7 before she applied extra credit. She never applied it or graded my final essay.
I am currently taking this class, and I absolutely regret it. She is unclear, confusing, overworks her students, makes learning stressful, grades unfairly/harshly , says she'll get back to you withing 24 hours but instead takes a few days, and (I feel) even insulted me in a recent e-mail reply. currently doing my research on how to report her.
Wonderful teacher. Do your assigned work and you will make an A. She is very clear on what she wants in an assignment and how to do it. Loved her online class, you have a week to complete each assignment with four weeks to do the research paper.
Wonderful teacher. Do your assigned work and you will make an A. She is very clear on what she wants in an assignment and how to do it. Loved her online class.
Dr Robison is a nice lady but very tough. The research paper topic got changed in the 9th week-frustrating. She is a TOUGH grader. But overall, she really wanted the students to succeed and gave plenty of extra credit opportunities. I worked very hard for my A and that was ok because it made me a better critical reader and writer.
This teacher is clueless. She attempted to tell everyone in the class that if they didn't turn in every single weekly assignment before the final, they would not sit for the final. She told us this 7 lines into an email, a week before the Final exam. After readjusting some higher ups there, it all went away. This class was not good for my health.
Unless your work is perfect (spelling, grammar, vocabulary, etc.) you won't get above an 80 on any essay. She will give you a chance to resubmit, but only when the whole class bombs the assignment. She says she is always there to help, but isn't very good at actually helping. I've always had a high A in English, now I'm struggling to get an 85.
Professor Robinson is a great teacher! I took her online so from my experience she's well organized and will help you whenever you need it. She's even there to suggest help for other classes. The only issue is she can be a tough grader at times but she pushes you to do better! You will definitely need both your books for her class though.
Very energetic and upbeat. Lectures were happy and optimistic outlining hope & salvation in readings. Reading Faulkner in this class helped me finalize my decision to become an English Major. I don't know why anyone had a problem with her grading. I never revieved less than a 95. However, I used proper grammar and completely answered the prompts.
Ms. Robinson is an extremely narrow minded professor when it comes to online classes. After following the official MLA rubric, she decided not to even grade several papers because she believed there was a formatting error. She also restricts the student's ability to quicken the pace when it comes to assignments.
Awesome teacher. Had her for English 1 and 2. When writing essays she gives you as many chances as you need to keep correcting things if she finds any wrong. Her quizes are really easy, she lets you use your notes. Very caring. Wants you to make a good grade. Really helpful.
Took her for Enc1101 and 1102. I loved her in 1101, because she really wanted to help and teach students everything she could. IN 1102 she acted like you should know everything already, so if you did make any mistakes she was not okay with it. I passed 1101 with a 98%. However, I only got an 85% in 1102. Mostly because the final is worth so much.
Teaching does not at all help online students. Has no way to reach out for clear feedback for being an English class thought receiving clear feedback would be easy for them. Can't even reach out to the person who GRADED the essay if I could leave a longer review I would but sadly I only have 350 words to display my academic frustration.
don't do it
Her feedback is incredibly condescending, and unhelpful. I asked for clarification once, and she told me never ask again just accept it. That's on top of her telling me that I obviously didn't read the material. I read all parts of our material very carefully, and followed the instructions. She speaks as though she invented the English language.
This professor was constantly argumentative and rude to me. I finish all of their assignments on time. I haven't missed one, and she's extremely rude. I reached out for help on projects a number of times, and she was constantly rude and disrespectful to me. If you can take a class with her, but there's another option don't pick her.
Reached out for help a few times and instead of having a conversation with me she spoke over me the whole time I tried to explain what I was going through with the course she was supposed to be teaching. She has three professors under her that are supposed to be graders but they're all just as hard to talk to. Puts too much energy into pedantics.
Engl3002: This class mainly involves a group project (absurd for online students). You pay for multiple exams.This class should be straightforward and easy, as it is a technical writing class, but ironically, it is not. It's one of the most disorganized ones I've ever taken. The teacher IS available to answer questions- condescendingly. Avoid her.
This professor can be difficult to work with. The class involves a lot of group work, and she doesn't always provide clear guidance. However, unstuck study proved helpful for study prep and exam review.
