PolSci.1 She is a very outgoing, smart & funny. Really tries to relate today's life to subj. Gives a fair amount of work but also loads of extra cred. Had to drop (pers.reas.) but look forward to retaking her class :)
The class has loads of extra credit so a good grade is attainable even for poor students. She is funny and her class is enjoyable. She wears her political party on her sleeve, which is annoying, but I would still recommend her for students that are willing to show up
Very nice lady. She cares about the students and has a lot of passion for the subject. She gives you review guides for both exams which covers most the test. She gives A LOT of extra credit so it is nearly impossible to not receive a passing grade. Only bad thing is attendance is mandatory and will deduct points if not there.
Very nice and educated teacher. Make sure to read all notes and chs before class and ask ?s during her lecture. She cares about students and the subject at hand. Must attended points will be dropped if not. Over all recommend to anyone who wants to really discuss politics.
Professor Robb was wonderful! she is so passionate about political science and makes it easy to understand. This is a hard class as there is a lot of information but she is a good teacher ... tests are reasonable if you study you'll pass and gives many opportunities to raise your grade. A+ for professor Robb!
Such a nice teacher! very funny! she gives sooo much extra credit that you must be illiterate to fail! her final and midterms are very easy! she gives a study! shes very passionate about her subject! TAKEE HER CLASS! YOU WILL LOVE HERR!!!
GREAT TEACHER! I HAVE AN A+! GIVES LOTS AND LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT! SHE KNOWS WHAT SHES TALKING ABOUT :)
Highly recommend taking her class :-)she was a comedian so her class is really fun :-)she's very passionate about poli sci and she is always telling studenst to get involved in politics. She gives out a lot of extra credit so that helps a lot :-) TAKE HER!!!!! Lol
She really helps you understand the relevance of political science to your own life. The course really made me think about my political views. She gives a review before exams that pretty much tells you what you need to know so the course isn't really difficult. Don't let the syllabus overwhelm you on the first day; it sounds like more than it is
I love her! She's so helpful, passionate, and unlike other teachers offers alternative assignments (not just a scan tron) which was so helpful to me. She actually tells you what's going to be on the test, and we even get to watch a few videos (another great learning alternative). I'm even taking her class again next semester. TAKE HER!!!!
Great teacher she made the class really interesting and easy to learn.
Mrs. Robb is a great teacher, she will do anything to help her students and she has a great open door policy, just make sure to do all your extra credit, overall she is amazing i would take her class again
Very friendly and passionate professor. She gives a midterm and final, a group project, and a research paper. Pay attention to her lectures, do the reading, and its an easy A.
okay prof robb is really nice. she was even a comedian before and watched some of her videos on youtube. there were times that the lectures were kinda boring, but hey it's pol scie! LOTS of xtra credit that helped me a lot. do the reading since she does not quiz you too often. grades were based on midterm, paper, group project& final
She's a great professor. Be there on time... Do as many extra credit as you can. Do well in you paper, mid-term, and group project... and you can relax on the final!!!! I only need to have 14 points from the final to have an A... Hard work gets paid off ;)
She is an excellent professor. It is hard to find professors that are so passionate about their field. She will make you be interested in politics. Might I add, she is quite the comedian. Her lectures are not boring! Recommended
Chill class. Do your reading, attend class and do all the extra credit and you'll do fine.
very helpful professor! it's impossible for someone to not pass her class. Class work consists of one group project, one research paper, midterm and final which she gives out a study guide before each exam. she gives out about 300 extra credit points. oh and grades are not based on percentage but points. makes it sooo much easier! TAKE HER CLASS!!!
Great teacher. Ms Robb explains specifically whats gonna be on the test, we even played a game before to prepare for the test. She invited some guest speakers. Take Ms Robb!
She is an excellent professor.Pierce colege should be proud to have her.
She is very nice and sweet.I enjoyed being a student in her class. You will learn a whole lot on politics and we even got to go see Congressman Brad Sherman which was awesome. The class consist of one reasearch paper, a group project, a midterm and a final. She also offers easy extra credit. She has surprise quizes which makes you stay alert inclas
BEST TEACHER EVER. I LOVED HER CLASS AND LEARNED A LOT. YOU SHOULD DEFINATELY TAKE HER CLASS. IF YOU STUDY THE MNATERIAL GIVEN DO THE EXTRAT CREDITS AND DO THE MYPOLSCILAB YOU WILL PASS THE CLASS.
Professor Robb is the best political science professor at Pierce. She makes the class and the subject fun. She makes tons of political jokes, she is a comedian. Just brings in positive energy every time she lectures. She is easy as long as you do your study guides, ,attend class, and do extra credit. It is pretty hard not to pass her class trust me
Great teacher cares for her students. She really loves and knows what she teaches read the book and go to class you will do well. she is very understanding
She gives you 14 page syllabus. Very active with students, I give her that. She is mean if you ask a dumb question/didn't listen sometimes. Very through and is very clear what she wants. I would recommend her as a teacher and danced the first day of class. She is passionate about her class.Midterm. Final. Group Project. Paper. Quizzes.
We only had 5 quizzes, 1 midterm, and a final. If you bomb the midterm, then it'll be difficult for you to pick up the pieces after. Tests were a wee bit difficult. At least there were Extra Credit. DO THEM ALL. You do get to work in a group. She's very kind and quirky.
She really enjoys her job and actually has some experience in politics.She tell you when she will give a quiz just review the lectures and do the reading and you will be fine in this class.Midterm is a beast but she offers extra credit so you have a chance to bring your grade up. The group project is pretty fun too just dont wait till the last min.
I took Dr. Robb for political science 1 this semester. Dr. Robb is an energetic professor that loves what she does. she offers a lot of extra credit!! her quizzes are hard but her final is not bad. show up take lots of notes because her quizzes are based on class notes.
Yes she's fun and entertaining (she's a comedian) but don't mistake kindness for an easy A. She's a stickler when it comes to grading so pay attention. Learned the most from her this semester than any other I took.
She's a very kind teacher! I've never seen someone so passionate like her when it comes to teaching. She's really funny! Her class is not hard if you study and do the work. Also, do the extra credits!! They help a lot if you don't go to well on the midterm.
Take her class!! As long as you do the work, and study, you'll do fine! Also she gives out a lot of extra credit. I suggest you take advantage of that incase you don't do well on tests. Plus she's super sweet :)
Take advantage of the extra credit.. there are 5 easy quizes and she takes the average of the first four and that the grade you get for the fifth quiz.. she doesnt tell you when the quizes are so attendance is mandatory.. the midterm was hard but theres a lot of extra credit. turn in the essay two weeks before its due date so she could grade it!
She's a pretty awesome professor :) She gives out a lot of extra credit. This is probably the first class I had to read the textbook for though (Borrow it from the library). The assignments and tests are pretty easy as well. She's also very helpful outside of class and for other things, she really goes out of her way to help the students achieve!
went in and had surprise collections of homework with no due dates. Treats her poli sci 30 class as an advances class, shouldn't be. 10 page essay. Midterm has 0 to do with reading and her lectures. gave a review day to all her other classes, forgets ours, says whoops but goodluck anyway. Gf dropped because of bad teaching style.
really nice lady but not the best teacher. reflections on surprised dates. 10 page paper for poly sci 30 and lectures that dont really mathc the mid term. mid term is also all essay and short answer. basically a lot of work with no good explanation
I wouldn't recommend her class. Started with a large class and over 80% either stopped coming or dropped, I wish I dropped when I had a chance. She decides to collect homework randomly and it's inconvient for students who have other classes with actual assigned work to worry about. Safe to say I'm no longer interested in political science..
She's very nice, but her lectures aren't that clear because she knows so much & expects the students to know. Cons about her class is that there isn't any hw assignments and your grade is based on 2 tests, 5 quizzes, a group project, and 50 pts extra credit. E.C. is not easy because its mostly 2-paged single spaced paper.
Attendance is incredibly important: she uses information that can only be obtained through attendance on her exams. If you do the reading (and the papers) you'll pass this class with flying colors. The class isn't interesting but she does spice it up with things like videos from Futurama and Thank You For Smoking. Overall a fun class, good prof!
Honestly Robb made me change my major, I couldn't ask for a more genuine and intelligent professor. She offers tuns of extra credit and the paper is spelled out for you in her syllabus, that is why it's so thick, she basically outlines your paper for you. It is almost impossible to fail her class, she cares about her students success if they care
I love Professor Robb! She is funny and entertaining. She cares about her students. Her lectures are interesting. You will get an A in this class if you follow her syllabus.
Thanks to Dr. Robb, I had the pleasure of being able to do upper division coursework in an internship for Poli Sci. :) It was an incredible learning experience, but very fun. I'll miss meeting with Dr. Robb every week, though. I never had an interest in PS, but now I might minor in since it was so interesting and involved with my major :)!
This has been one of my favorite classes at Pierce. Professor Robb provided an atmosphere that made learning both fun and informative. It's obvious that she has a true passion for Political Science, and though she didn't make me want to switch my major,I can't say I wasn't tempted. She is one of those rare instructors we students always remember.
I loved Professor Robb! Sweet, funny and super passionate about the subject and it's effect on your life. Extremely helpful. She spells out everything u have to do to get an A in the syllabus including a full breakdown on how to do the paper. Follow the syllabus and u will succeed. Tons of extra credit too. I will miss her class!
The whole surprise reaction papers didn't help. Waste of paper first of all and it's like she forgets we have other classes to worry about. Was a fun teacher but the midterm and final weren't well covered. Also group projects are awful, no one cooperated.
She gave us many chances to get extra credit. Also she check our report before due day. Her class is not so easy, but she gave us many chances. I was glad to take her class.
Pushes her personal political and anti-religious views on students a little to much. It seemed like she occasionally forgot how diverse our student body is.
Great prof.!
Denise is one of the best profressors I have had during my time in college! She is a stand-up comedian and makes Political Science fun and interesting! She absolutely loves teaching, and when a teacher loves to teach (do their job) students learn, so everybody wins! She makes you want to participate, and come to class. You won't regret her class!
Professor Robb is very passionate about political science. The class is fairly easy if you some idea about how this country works. If you are clueless about political science, ask questions, take good notes and take advantage of the extra credit. The class is designed to force you (the student) to gain a fundamental understanding of the US govt.
She is the sweetest and most wonderful professor at Pierce and taking any Political Science class with her is the best decision. Sometimes things seem unclear in direction and though her organization skills are off you can ask her anything and she is the biggest help! TAKE HER! You need your book, work well with others, and take notes!! LOVE HER!!!
Professor Robb is great, she is very clear in her syllabus what she wants to have done for the semester in order for you to pass. Her lectures and power points didn't really help with the quizzes or midterm so make sure you read your book FRONT TO BACK. She is really funny and i would take her class again for future political science courses.
In my opinion Denise Robb is a wonderful professor. There is extra credit for this class but also group work. test. of course mid term and final but it is no a hard class if you actually take the time to show up and listen. You will most likely pass.
Politics has never been among my favorite subjects but i actually found myself becoming interested with this class and have even considered getting a minor in PoliSci. We have 5 quizzes, 4 are group quizzes, the fist is the hardest (it's based on what you know about politics), she gives MANY opportunities for extra credit. Just study and take notes
Very unorganized. Forgets everything. Goes off topic every lecture and lectures will run long because she's too busy talking about everything but the material we're supposed to cover. She is not very clear on assignments. Midterm was super long, 25 short answer questions.
Her class is very confusing, and she is very disorganized. Sometimes it seems like she isn't really interested in the subject she teaches. She literally went on to wikipedia and pulled a bunch of random names for a big project. She didn't even know who half of them were. Don't take this class
reasons why she was a great professor: 1st easy to talk to. 2. quizzes are group work and she drops the lowest score so free 100 points there. 3 gives a lot of extra credit 50 points worth! 4th. she goes over the finalmidterm and gives out a study guide. 5th all her notes are online don't be lazy and download it. This class is impossible to fail
The class was great! Do the readings & keep up with moodle assignments & you will do well. She is always there for office hours & is willing to help. Also tons of extra credit assignments are offered. The best part about the class is that she's really involved and loves to teach. She also offers internships, lets u know about transfer events. :)
one of the best polisci professor! she's such a great teacher, talks about interesting stuff and is very funny. she gives alot of extra credit. i would definitely recommend her.
She is not the best professor, but she is still pretty good.
Professor Robb is a good professor. Some positives are: 1. Great Office Hours 2. Fair Grader if you follow instruction 3. Passionate Some Negatives are: 1. Group Presentation took to long and only 1 question on final 2. Lots of reading (make sure you read a little bit every day so you do not cram form the midterm and final)
Overall good professor and the material was easy to understand. Only part I did not really like was that some students took over the class, in the sense that they talked a lot about everything not letting the professor convey her whole message or explain it throughly.
Professor Robb is a very passionate. Her class is super easy because there is so much extra credit given and her tests are not hard because she gives a study guide. Only problems I had were her class lectures were boring and she was bit unorganized. The Town Hall was a great experience! It made me very aware of some of the many problematic issues.
Im not a fan of politics but she really gets you involved in it and you realize how important politics really is. A bit of women's history in here but overall you leave feeling you learned something. Strongly suggest the Town hall you meet with a lot of great students and faculty! If you are unsure about assignments, OFFICE HOURSASK HER!! Cool vid
She offers TONS of extra credit.
I loved it !! Take her and do whatever she says. Lots of extra credit !! EASY A if you study the midterm and final. Which has clear study guides. Final was MCQ ;)
I enjoyed every second of her class!! Professor Robb is truly amazing!! She is super passionate about politics and the comic way in which she delivers (watch on youtube), makes the class so much more interesting. She cares a lot about her students and gives them all the necessary tools for success. Register for this class - ASAP!
Loved this class! Professor Robb is passionate about what she teaches and really cares for students. If you do all the assignments and, at least, give them an effort you can for sure get an A. She gives tons of extra credit that can save you! And go to class you'll actually become a more informed person, plus she's super entertaining.
Robb is an awesome professor! She's a great teacher and very clear on everything she teaches. She doesn't really give hw but study your notes it will help a lot on tests! She's really understanding if you need to miss class. Just communicate with her she's very nice. She's also very funny! Thanks to her I want to pursue political science! Take her!
Professor Robb is one of the greatest instructors I have had the pleasure of taking. She provides a very clear syllabus, comprehensive study guides (which are extremely useful for exams) and several extra credit opportunities that help prepare you for the two in-class tests. If you're looking for a dedicated, charismatic professor, take Denise Robb
Pretty easy class. The hardest thing was the midterm, but if you do the study guide you should be fine. One group project that lasted the whole semester, and 4 "quizzes" that are really just in class work. Lectures are a little confusing, but skim the book and you should be fine.
She is a good professor.
Professor Robb is absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She knows her subject and is absolutely passionate about it. Be sure to take her during the spring semester when she is running the town hall because you will learn a lot.
Denise Robb is one of the more amazing professors on campus. She is very passionate about what she teaches. There is obliviously a lot of love in what she teaches. I have recommended countless students to her classes. The grading is fairly easy and she offers a lot and I mean a lot of extra credit. In all excellent professor!
She tends to speed through powerpoints (lectures) and then only gives 2 tests (midterm and final) that seem easy but then a majority of the class gets a 75 or lower (at least that is what happened in my class). She's a nice person but I do not think I necessarily learned anything in that class.
Professor Robb is one of the best professors I have ever had at Pierce! Her sense of humor and true passion on what she does it will make you understand the concepts without even had to study hard. Taking her class was a pleasure, and I've learned so much about politics that now I'm confident to talk about it :) She gives Tooons of Extra Credit!
Robb wants everyone to pass her class and actually learn something about current political events and what shaped them. Her quizzes are super easy bc you can use notes. Her midterm is written(but so much extra credit), there is an easy group project, and the final is mult choice and she makes some of the questions funny so you know its no biggie.
I LOVE ROBB! Taking her class was the best decision I have made so far. She genuinely cares about all her students. Especially take her if you are into politics she has a lot of opportunities and connections she shares with the class. Hardest part of her class was the final, make sure you really study. Quizzes were in class group work. Love her!
Professor Robb is by far the best professor I've had at Pierce! She is awesome, funny, passionate, and energetic. You'll never be bored in her class. Robb is clearly passionate about what she teaches. She incorporates interesting videos, podcasts, articles, etc. in her lectures. I totally recommend taking this class, you will learn so much. :)
Professor Robb is one of the best professors I've taken! She's so caring, funny, intelligent, and passionate about her subject. She always makes sure that everyone is being taken care of and is doing well in the class. LOTS of extra credit opportunities. Grading is fairly easy and the book is super helpful as well as her lectures. Really recommend!
Robb feels very strong about her own liberal views but also emphasizes a lot how she encourages anyones views. At the core, she truly wants her students to learn about and become involved in politics. She is able to effectively convey what she wants students to learn. The material is also quite easy. I would recommend Robb for anyone.
Professor Robb is bias against her students when it comes to women in politics. And doesnt follow her own instructions when she assigns work
I love her positivity in the class and her understanding. She gives alot of extra credit opportunities and she wants to see everyone do well. She is a little bit unorganized in her lectures and I wish it had more of a flow instead of random articles and statistics. Other than that, she was a great professor I learned alot.
1 essay and 1 group project, 1 midterm and 1 final. Textbook is mandatory but you can just look up what the study guides tell you. Super easy to get extra credit, and the class is really interesting and engaging! Lots of good discussion from everyone and respectful opposing viewpoints, but we still got through all the curriculum! Would take again!
Very fascinating class. You will learn a TON about government and politics. Prof Robb really cares about the subject and about your growth in politics. ACTIVE participation in the group project is a MUST! Prof Robb does not tolerate slackers in the group project.
Dr. Robb is the best professor I have ever had! She completely made me fall in love with women in politics. I wish I could retake this class! She is so passionate about what she teaches and the whole class gets the opportunity to participate. Highly recommend.
She's amazing. I really enjoyed this class bc yes it was easy but because she understands that a winter online session class doesn't mean packing a bunch of info and testing you harshly. If you take this class, don't drop, It is so easy and it is seriously the easiest class if you need to boost your GPA. ur fault if you end up w anything under an A
She believe you can make someone expert in all political science topics during a 3 unites class which doesn't work.
A nice professor but classes can become boring. There is a group project and she expects the group to meet outside of class 10 times minimum. There is a group grade and an individual grade that I think she graded fair. You will have one essay that has to be at least 10 pages. Doesn't give much tests aside from midterm, final, and a couple quizzes.
She is very sweet but if you are not a pol sci DO NOT TAKE HER. She is an extremely tough grader and expects you to be know everything about her class. Her Group projects SUCK. She thinks her class is the only one and expects you to meet outside about 10 times.
She is not an understandable professor. I highly don't recommend her at all. You have to attend every class or you won't pass. She will joke around in her emails. She is a very unorganized professor. She assumes you know everything and can read her mind... DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!
Fantastic Professor, really funny and gives a ton of extra credit. Class is interesting and youll learn while having fun!
If you want to learn what is going on in the U.S, take this class. Professor Robb knows a lot about politics and taking this class will make your life easier. BTW if you try you can get an A. There are lots of extra credits and she really wants to help everyone.
Professor Robb is engaging and is passionate about her subject. She wants you to understand how important politics are to our world and to our history as a republic. Before I took her class I didnt care about politics and she taught me how to care. Take her, if you put in the work you will do well and learn how this country really functions.
The class that I had with Professor Robb was women in politics and everyone was assigned a person from history to study and act on at the end of the semester. I got Debbie Wasserman Schultz and it was fun to play the chairwoman of the DNC during the last election cycle. Professor makes politics meaningful and makes sure everyone has a voice. A+.
She is the worse professor ever. Don't take her class. She's not fair in grading. Lots of reading and what comes in the exam is completely different than what you have read.
If you see a negative review of Prof Robb, it's just because those students want to breeze though college and don't really know why they are even in college to begin with. Prof Robb is caring, respectful, intelligent, and knows what she is talking about and wants you to learn. She's not there to fail you, she's on your side.
I had a great time in this class- super caring professor. we wrote a policy paper and did a group project. She gives easy tests and prepares you for everything you need to do.
I had a great experience in this class. It covers brutal and difficult parts of America's government and its past. Professor Robb didn't let that feel discouraging, and encouraged us to hope for the future. Professor Robb is very understanding and helpful. There are opportunities for extra credit and good study guides to prepare for tests.
easy A. more extra credit than you would ever need. easiest quizzes you will ever take. She lectures with passion. You have the opportunity to take her class and actually enjoy the discussion without the pressure of taking notes and studying super duper hard. One big paper. One group project. take her you wont regret it.
she is a amazing professor. she gives so many extra credit opportunities, if you do not pass it's because you're lazy and did not take the opportunities. if you do what she asks for her essay, you will get an A. if you study the study guides, you will get a good grade on the test. the tutoring sessions give you the answers. easiest class ever
I have never met a prof that cares about students more than this Professor. She will work with you and guide you through not only this class but your path to college success. The things you will learn in this class will help you become a better citizen. I would take any class she teaches - she is that good.
Amazing teacher. She cares about all of her students. Her class is generally not hard buy as long as you dont fail the midterm and final exams you wil be fine. She gives a bunch of credit to boost your grade so make you get them done!
She is very organized, caring, and insightful on all things political science. Study the study guides and PowerPoints and youll do great. She encouraged all of us, and something I remember is she said to be as smart as you want. If you ever have the chance to take a class by her I would highly recommend doing it, you wont regret it :)
Professor Robb handled the switch online better than any other professor I had this semester. She set realistic goals that didn't feel too overwhelming for students in a pandemic. She truly cares about her students and gives out so many opportunities for extra credit. Her class in person was also very engaging and interesting.
Professor Robb goes above and beyond for all of her students. I can sincerely recommend her for any person who wishes to have a pleasurable class!
Great Professor, she really cares about what she's teaching and her students. 10/10 recommend you take her class.
I had her for a couple of in-class sessions and I liked her bubbly personality and she brings passion and humor into her teaching. She loves participation! Then covid-19 hit. I didnt know what to expect from then on. She was so understanding of everyones situations and still maintained the structure of her class while balancing work and family!
She is respectful, caring, accepting, willing to listen and always friendly. She is worth considering!
Professor Robb is a very fair professor that really cares about her students! Take her courses and you will not regret it!
One of my favorite teachers at Pierce. She's passionate about government and politics, and her teaching makes it very digestible. She used to be a stand up comedian, so there's never a dull moment in lectures. She inspires us to take action in politics and even awards extra credit for voting and for other ways of getting involved. Take this class!
She makes this class very easy despite the subject matter being difficult or unappealing to some people. She will respond to emails concerning both the class and other topics very quickly. She is very good at remaining neutral while allowing the students to be able to discuss topics civilly. There is a lot of writing and reading required
Hands down best teacher!!!
She is hilarious. She is supportive and cares about her students and proved them many useful financial and educational resources. Her lectures are amazing and fun. She has a clear grading criteria. You will really enjoy her class and learn a lot.
Professor Robb is one of the best professors I have taken at Pierce College, she is amazing! Very caring and her passion for the subject makes class way more captivating! She is extremely knowledgable and is very funny! Her grading is easy and fair, I would definitely take her again. You will take lots of notes and quizzes are mostly on lecture.
Professor is incredibly disorganized but has a nice personality. Honestly, felt like I didn't learn that much, but oh well. Not a tough grader, but sometimes assignment directions are unclear or not explicit, so expect to get negative feedback at times. Overall, a good class for an easy GPA boost, not for genuine learning or polisci majors.
I don't want to blame everything on her since she not use to online classes but she was very disorganized and doesn't tell you what she wants from your assignments clearly. She doesn't really message back very well either. She a sweet woman but until she get better online or things go back to normal I would avoid taking her class.
Ignore all the false bad reviews, Professor Robb is literally a gem! She is always there for you any time whether it being 1:00 AM or 4:00 PM, she will get back to you immediately. Professor Robb also has many internships and volunteer experiences available for all her students not just pol sci majors. You DEFINITELY need to take this class!!!
Prof. Robb was more than a great teacher, she was my lifeline during this semester. She answered every question I had regarding the class as well as questions about politics in general. She is very dedicated to seeing her students succeed in this class, and in life. She is an amazing teacher and friend! I will stay in contact with her for years!
Prof. Robb is a good professor and knows what she is talking about. However, if you don't like someone to message you every hour of the day about random zoom meetings then take another class. We would get canvas messages at midnight sometimes asking if we wanted to zoom with her when the class was supposed to be all online. She's is overwhelming.
Professor robb is an amazing professor. She is soo kind and caring. As i was dealing with grief this semester she was very helpful in helping me continue my studdies and giving me great resourses. She is very accessable and always answers emails and is absolutely amazing i would totally take her class again
Prof Robb gave us all the tools we needed to succeed in her PolSci 1 class. Attending zoom can be somewhat of a challenge due to the pandemic but all of them were recorded and I thought that was extremely helpful. She's super kind, cares about her students and is not a very tough grader as long as you put in the effort. Tons of extra credit, too!
Assigned a group project and expected everyone to be able to meet up all the time which was kind of inconsiderate, BUT she does care about the students. She's a great professor and trying her best during a hard transition to teach online. I just wish there were changes made.
I've had professor Robb by choice 3 times and I am hoping I can get in two of her classes next semester. If I could I would have her as my political science professor for the rest of my school career. Not only does she answer her emails at any time of the day (literally) but she is always willing to help anyone in need.
Robb is a teachers I will always remember. She care's so much about her students. She's also the only professor I know to give out 50 EXTRA credit points every semesters. That's a lot of points. She's understanding and willing to work with any accommodations. She also uses free textbook which helps so much...
One of my first online class experiences but felt like the professor was super interactive so wasn't too disconnected. She's really funny and cares about her students, really quick to respond to questions/emails. Lots of reading, one essay, one group project, tests are pretty easy if you read and listen to lectures. Tons of extra credit available.
Professor Robb is amazing. During this pandemic she didnt make the classes any harder but yet not easy. She gave us the textbook link for FREE !!! Thats a great help ! Yet theres a lot a lot of extra opportunities to do to bring your grade up and when it comes to tests/quizzes shell give us 2 attempts to bring our grade up. The best Professor !
If you are on top of yourself this is an easy class. If you have any questions she will offer you her phone number and she answers almost right away. she makes lectures fun and time passes by fast. I would 100% recommend taking her for Political Science.
Professor Denise Robb is the best Professor ever. She is compassionate, kind, attentive and very intelligent. She is very patient and wants everyone to always do well. I will definitely take her class! I started the class with an A and finished it with an A.
Took Professor Robbs class the semester of the 2020 election she was so attentive and inclusive with her students with a bunch of optional zoom sessions that she always recorded And so many extra credits!!! 1 essay 10 easy quizzes 1 group project final exam
Prof. Robb is the sweetest pea in the pod. If you put forth effort, she will reciprocate the same back. The class is straight forward. Not a lot of work. The work is relevant & interesting.
Robb is one of the nicest professors i have ever met. She definitely knows how to teach in her little optional zoom meetings. She is interesting and her assignments were actually interesting. The book isnt really necessary, I used it like 3 times.
Beaware, every single exta credit asmt is a 10 page paper on a difficult topic. Makes you feel like a terrible student, you come to her for help she reminds you about all the things you haven't done and basically saying you will fail. So many assignments, so many lectures, so much reading, it's exhausting. I don't recommend these types of professor
Unclear for an online course. Sends so many unessassary announcements. Overall annoying. Her lectures are 1 hour long and she expects you to watch all 4 before a quiz. She shouldnt have labeled the course as asynchronous because its definitely not.
THE WORST! Please save yourself and do not get this teacher. She is not helpful and very irrational on grading. She will give you the lowest of the low grade for the most micro reason. I understand this is your only job so you want to feel like your special and grade harshly since it's your only job.
Prof Robb is kind and understanding. You get multiple tries on quizzes that are already super easy and she even let me redo an essay after she gave me feedback. This class is set up in a way that anyone can earn an A. There are several extra credit ops and some are simple tasks to complete. Would take her again if I wasn't leaving Pierce. TAKE HER!
Professor Robb loves teaching. She is well rounded, explains in detail what is expected of you in her class. She immediately answers any questions you have. She reads every paper submitted and gives excellent feedback. If you wanna learn, she is a great teacher to learn from.
I took professor Robb's class online and she seemed a bit scattered. She sent out way too many unnecessary announcements everyday and it was a bit annoying. She is a nice person though and is available for questions outside of class.
She is engaging and calm which children can relate to her.
Great class and extremely informative. Weekly quizzes, individual presentation, research paper, and a 100 point final. She also is super quick to responding to emails and helping students out. Just do all the work on time and you will succeed in this class!
Professor Robb is very kind and gives good feedback. However, some of her grading is inconsistent and she sent out too many unnecessary emails. She also makes many of her extra credit assignments 10 page papers which is unreasonable in my opinion. She makes her expectations clear... do whats expected and youll get an A.
I was in Professor Robb PolSci 001. She was a very nice and funny professor. Students respected her because of how helpful she was. There are a LOTS of extra credit oppurtunities, up to 50 points worth. She gives lectures, quizzes, and a group project. Ask questions and make friends in the class for help!
Professor Robb is such a great teacher and mentor. She is funny and very caring for her students. I totally recommend her!!
The topics discussed were interesting; however, when it comes to assignments such as papers and projects there was not enough guidelines as to what was expected. Being that the class was tough online only clear guidelines and professor expectations should be CLEARLY stated.
Professor Robb is a real sweetheart. Very caring and gives SO many second chances to submit assignments, she really cares about her student's passing. She is a little disorganized with her lectures and her instructions for group projects and assignments are not very clear. LOTS of extra credit opportunities
Professor Robb is great! There are a lot of lectures for you to watch in this class that are very informative and will help you with quizzes and other assignments. The course work consisted of 10 quizzes, 1 research paper (as midterm), a group project, and a cumulative final to end it all. She offers 50 points of extra credit max. I recommend her.
Prof Robb is very kind, caring and passionate professor. Her class is an easy A. Lectures are much more important than the textbook. Test are mostly from lectures. Lectures are good and interesting. The quizzes are the easiest you have had. Group project for 20% of the grade. A ton of extra credit. Overall great, and cares alot about her students.
Worst professor I've ever had. Unclear criteria yet harsh grading. Communication is useless, she'll dance around any question you ask. Extra credit is only open to certain students (+wasn't even open in our semester), if you're not one of them she won't give other options. Uses outdated (2002, 2006, etc) since-been-proven-incorrect statistics.
Trash teacher, gives way too much work for just a normal class, dont ever take it
Cool class, the book is only mandatory for the final. Only reason I somewhat struggled is because I waited last minute to do her assignments lol ( and they take some time). Tests are easy, all answers are in her lectures, which she posts and you can view them anytime.
Robb is awesome. Great lectures, very informative, and if you pay any attention at all you'll do excellent in her courses. She always incorporates group work and likes participation a lot, but she is very understanding. If you are having any trouble, she can help accommodate you or even give you a different assignment. One of the best professors!
Professor Robb is by far the best college professor I have ever had. She had amazing speakers and workshops and if your interested in politics she will connect you with the right people. Professor Robb helped me get a job and my career started in politics. If you have a genuine interest in political science her class will be a breeze just have fun
I would genuinely like to hang out with Professor Robb just to hear her take on things. She is very well rounded and sees current events as a whole and not just one-sided. I learned a lot from her class. Participate, ask questions, get your essay drafts in on time and take advantage of Extra Credit.
Very unprofessional. Does not read and understand your concerns and needs in an email, and takes a while to respond to your emails. The Final was too long and asked unnecessary questions and repeated questions from previous questions. Rude and inconsiderate, unclear directions on assignments, way too much work for an online class.
Dr. Robb is the nicest person every. She has daily office hours where you can ask her any question and would answer questions on the study guide instead of having you look for it. She answers emails very fast and gives you extra credit for just joining zoom movies. There are group projects you will have to online buts it's so easy.
To be honest she was so hard but it was very test based and most of the lectures she would go off topic and then you get lost and just dont understand. but she does give extra credit so it really depends if you do your work or not and you have to join every zoom
I love Professor Robb! This is my second class with her and she is a caring and compassionate professor. She cares about her students and is helpful with questions. She is very passionate about her subject matter and engages students in learning about participating in the political process.
This is a teacher who will put in extra effort to see you succeed. This is what a teacher is supposed to be like. I'd rather take a quirky teacher who gives it her all than a dry one who doesn't care/is checked out. TONS AND TONS of extra credit opportunities, really hard to not get an A one way or another, especially with her being so helpful.
Prof. Robb is one of my favorite college professors! She is genuinely passionate about teaching and having her students succeed. If I was ever overwhelmed, Professor Robb was quick to reply to my emails or schedule zoom calls with me outside of her office hours to answer my questions. She also offers a lot of extra credit. Highly recommend!
OMG where do i start!!! I Love professor robb!! i took her womens and politics class and it was amazing! it was VERY easy!The answers to every quiz are in her lectures as well as the text book!TAKE HER CLASS you will NOT regret it!!!!!
Professor Dr. Robb was an outstanding professor; she was hilarious, and her lectures were incredibly entertaining. She offers lots of extra credit, gives great feedback, and her lectures are smooth; filled with lots of jokes as well as entertaining side stories. My only regret is that I didn't discover Professor Dr. Robb earlier.
This professor is very caring and understanding. She does everything in her power to get all of her students to pass so don't be afraid to ask for help. Provides lots of extra credit .There is one research paper mid semester and one group project at the end. This professor is very detailed in directions and makes the class easy and enjoyable.
Professor Robb is amazingggg. The course is super easy, the heaviest work load we had was a group project and an essay. She gives a lot of participation quizzes and offers plenty of extra credit. Pay attention and take lecture notes and read the text book because you need that info for the midterm and final as well as the participation quizzes.
She is very political so stay neutral in her class and try not to stand out in her class. As long as you do all of her work on time which is not a lot, you will be fine. Her midterm and final, she gives you a study guide. For your group project, its not hard. When she questions you on the project, as long as you sound convincing, you will be fine.
Prof Robb is an amazing lecturer! She's pretty easy despite being an honors class. She has a few big assignments but if you do the study guides and work with the group she assigns you, you will most likely get an A in the class. She is very passionate on what she does but if you don't like politics or history then this class might be boring for you
She is a very nice person, She cares a lot about students. Lots of extra credits opportunities. Lots of writings and quizzes
This is a great class! I took it as an honors class and it was extremely enjoyable. Professor Robb is super caring and wants to help you get the best grade in the class. The lectures are interesing and she invites cool guest speakers. Not test heavy and LOTS of extra credit availibility. The class is designed for you to pass. Please take her!
I enjoyed Robbs's class, she gave us so many extra credit opportunities and was not very test-heavy. You were given 1 essay midterm and 1 final exam. She is super caring and wants you to pass I enjoyed the lectures and found them super interesting. I genuinely think if your are interested on women's rights take this class you will learn a lot!
If you are a full/part-time employee taking more than three classes, DO NOT take her online class. She is not only homework- and lecture-heavy, but she also requires a 10-page research paper, a 5-page paper on notes, a VIDEO group project, and many other utterly useless assignments. This course was simply a matter of completion; I did not learn.
Way to much homework, 10 page essay, group project that has poor instructions, do not ever take this class!
This professor is amazing. She's funny and tries to make her teaching fun. provides multiple extra credit opportunities. Assignments are relatively easy as long as you're paying attention and she's so approachable too. Definitely would take her again,
Professor Robb is a solid professor. She will teach the basics of Political Science and have you think from a different perspective. Graded by quizzes, group projects, essays, and finals. She will make you work for your grade. Can be a little harsh when giving constructive criticism. Her class is time-consuming.
She was nice and I actually learned a lot. Since it was a summer class and honors it was more harder, there were chapter summaries to do and occasional videos and 2 movies to take notes on. There was also a video group project that was super annoying because it has to be really coordinated between everyone. There was also an 8 page essay.
Very Ra$I$t , We had to watch the trump and Biden debate and oh god she said things I couldn't believe. Other than that, the class was hard, lots of writing and we had a group project and very little instructions on it. We had to figure everything out. DONT TAKE HER. JUST TAKE ANOTHER HONOR CLASS
Professor Robb is a caring instructor who encourages different perspectives. Her class has lots of work, but she provides helpful study guides and extra credit opportunities. ChatGPT and unstuck ai were great study tools that helped me succeed.
Very difficult class to succeed in. take another honors class than this, I feel like this women is not ok and the was she accuses us for doing things is not normal. very hard class. they were times I spend over 20 hours per week on this class. Doesn't make sense.
Professor Robb is a wonderful teacher that goes above and beyond when it comes to teaching. Robb makes her class very enjoyable, and a fun experience. Some assignments are a little bit of a drag but for the most part the class as a whole is relatively easy / average difficulty. Shes very big on extra credit. Notes are easy. 100% recommend the class
She clearly really cares about the subject I just don't think it entirely reflects itself in the lectures and homework. Homework is WAY too much and is essentially all busywork just asking you to recite what happened in class. Why does that have to exist?? It screams low confidence to be honest. Lectures can drag and homework is RIDICULOUSLY BAD
I considered this class an easy A. Her directions are unclear sometimes but she is very lenient with grading, allows resubmissions for assignments, and allows late work. Students learn more when teachers are like this. Not only that her class was fun because she is very a very positive and funny person.
Very hard class. Very little instructions on everything. take another class
i love proffesor robb. one of the few professors that truly cares about their students and wants them to succeed. its a hard class, and you need to be willing to put in the effort, but if you truly want to learn about politics and government, take it.
Very hard class for just a GE course, very rude towards students
A lot of the people bashing this class clearly took it online with the assumption that ChatGPT would pass it for them. She's an amazing professor that genuinely cares, if you want an easy A with someone who doesn't, find another person. She loves what she does and that's why she helps others understand it too. You get what you give, she's great
I took the honors poli sci 019. There is a lot of writing for this class but it isn't bad. There is a final essay as well and I believe a group project. I took it over summer so I had more time to spend on this class, just be aware it takes some time. She's pretty funny and he class is good if your are looking for an easy honors credit.
Denise Robb is very obviously passionate about politics, but this doesn't make her a good teacher. Over half our class ended up dropping this course. For an entry level course, having 3 finals (one of which being a 5+ person group project) is just ridiculous. She had to make attendance mandatory because so little people were actually showing up.
Robb is a wonderful person who is very passionate about politics. This does not translate into classroom management. Discussions got wildly off-topic, only half the class showed up most of the time, and nobody knew what we were supposed to do for our final group project. She's very caring and accommodating and I appreciate that, but girl.
She is a great person who loves her work, so much so that she would assign her students have 3 finals. We had an around 100 question final, 10 page essay, and a group project presentation! Not to mention the mountain of work beforehand. If you love politics, take her! If you value your time, maybe reconsider.
Amazing teacher and very passionate about politics. If you hate group projects do NOT take this class. Groups with 12 members MAX. 10 page essay and attendance is mandatory. The assignments are simple and straightforward but the essays and group work is annoying.
12 person group project and ten page essay are the two big assignments in class. If essay isnt formatted right she doesn't even read it and tells you to re-do it. Passionate about topics but expects you to know how to do these things. 12 person group project is insane by itself. Not taking a course by her again
Professor Rob is really passionate about politics. And I do think she is a good professor however she is a very tough grader, and does give more work than the usual college course. This class is definitely manageable put won't be an easy A. Often she will ask you to re-do assignments and she will really read your submissions word for word.
Easiest class ever. Insane amount of extra credit. Final is super easy but she cannot teach. Basically HS AP Gov so you can easily pass without remembering much. Very judgmental about everything (literally everything) but good tradeoff for an easy A. Group projects are annoying based on how bad other members are but still do-able.
Professor Robb is so incredibly chill. I took her honors Political Science C1000 class, which was online live. She provides the class with so many extra credit opportunities. Her lectures were very easy to understand, and her quizzes often reflected that. She's so kind and understanding. We had one major presentation, which was our final. Take her!
She is really good. i took her honors classes, quizzes and homework are really easy if you pay attention to class, there are tons of extra credits. Also make sure to follow every guideline and rubric she is asking.
