I took Professor Robertson's ENG111 class during Spring 2020 semester. He is an absolute gem that makes you wish more professors were like him. He is very caring. He is very clear on what he expects from you and makes himself available for questions. I never met a more genuinely nice person! I was front row each class and I would take him AGAIN!

H.w every class. You have to read in order to pass the quiz every class. Sometimes I forgot an event in the book which led me to fail the quiz. Sometimes funny sometimes corny. We watched films in class and took notes, summarized. If you forget one page or question he think you didn't read. Marked me late for being 1 minutes late. Strict and smiles

Lots of homework

best english professor ever, the almost three hours with him went fast enjoi it very much , I was scared because of my last professor but being scared no more, if you get a bad grade is because probably you did not do your work.

Lost of reading/homework but he's amazing! He's always smiling, lectures are great, I sometimes feel he's too good for us. Do all assignments, do well on your exam and you'll pass. He's also not a tough grader. Best professor I've ever had! And don't abuse his kindness.

Hated him, his exams are based on how well you can regurgitate his ideas back at him and he only gives homework the day before it's due, even if there's multiple days between classes. I found him abrasive too, he's not funny and he likes to brush off students who question him.

This is one of best professors Ive had at Hostos, great personality, teaches very well for all to understand. Its nice to have had a real professor for a change compared to the bland robotic and careless other professors I had to put up with. Read, show up and do assignments and youll enjoy class.

Cool guy never bored in class, easy going and patience, he doesn't mind explaining the work or repeating it, has a sense of humor with lots of energy. The assignments is a lot of work sometimes not all the time just because the class is fun the work has to be done thinking critically and explaining in details in your essay. Over all he's cool.

The man's genuine and clear as crystal in his expectations from you to score that A. He inspires you with that confidence. If you want to be a smartass just make sure you're ready to be burned in the most respectful way lol. It was a lotta writing and really not my jam, but I did anyway cause he was cool and I'd do it again.

This is the corniest professor at Hostos. If you plagiarize anything in his class, and I mean anything, be prepared for him to hate you for the rest of the semester, not let you participate and give you a failing grade. He is also a creep and likes to talk about phallic and vagina a lot.

Professor Robertson had the best discussion in class each meeting. Clarence as my professor made my writing skills better than I expected he gives great feedback when you do any assignment. He even has great office hours if you need him. Make sure you take him do all his daily assignments and exams and you will pass with flying colors.

Easy A! If it were possible, I would take all classes w/ him. 10/10. Class discussions were fun. His homework & grading was clear. He gives the answers to half the homework & the rest is based on the reading given or visuals in class. VERY easy if you actually pay attention in class. The bad ratings are from those who did not apply themselves.

Professor Robertson is a dynamic lecturer who makes the class engaging. While the workload is heavy, his feedback helps improve writing skills. Using Unstuck AI for study prep alongside the textbook can be a big help.

His lectures are fun and engaging, and he makes the material interesting. He is strict when it comes to grading. You can't afford to miss class, since he often gives out answers to daily assignments during the lecture. His exams are challenging and comes from the daily assigment DO NOT MISS CLASSES! He's a fair professor overall.
