If this is the second time taking the class because you failed before you might want to thing about getting him. He's a great teacher that goes through every step slowly until you fully understand, but if its just to get a better grade then you will think of him as extremely slow.
best math professor ive had in fiu.. he really cares about you, and wants to help you get it right.. His test, so far, was very easy.. i recommend him
great teacher! Breaks things down. Is slow, but makes sure you know whats going on
wow, can that guy teach slow..the class is never ending, but if math really aint ur thing then i recommend to take him, he goes through everything step by step. bit of a hispanic accent but nothing serious. he is easy and helpfull. u can tell he cares about his students but too slow for me.
He knows his stuff! He makes sure that all his students are on the right page. Though he might take a little bit longer to get to the point, but he wants everyone to understand. He is also always willing to help with little sessions on Saturday's & Sunday's!
I D'd my way through MGF 1106 the first time around and thanks to him I managed to pull a B. He gave us extra credit for doing the HW and was really helpful about making Sat review classes. He was subbing for us the first time in Spring 2005.
wow if anyone has ever taken another math class you will know that Prof. Robles doesnt belong at FIU, he is actually a good teacher!? wierd..he is so helpful and goes over every test and any question and he is jsut super stoked to always help everyone.
hes ok...a little crazy but not a bad teacher...he has a heavy spanish accent so u have to listen carefully...but u take a lot of notes and hes relly through with he promblems...and he gives extra credit to help ppl put with there grade
HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!!!! BEST PROFESSOR IVE HAD IN FIU... HE REALLY CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS, AND DOES EVERYTHING POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL.. GIVES ALOT OF EXTRA CREDIT TOO WHICH HELPS ALOT.. I GOT AN A IN THE CLASS
He is a great teacher and is very clear about wats gonna be on the quizes and tests.If u need to take this class make sure u do it with him!

I feared taking Finite Math b/c I knew that the drop rate for that course was very high. But I read his reviews and I can honestly say that he is an amazing teacher. He is very clear in his lectures and he will go out of his way to help you with ANYTHING. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is not too good in math.
Best professor I've had @ FIU. He will go the extra mile to make sure that his students understand the material has lots of review session. Gives extra credit explains the material in a clear manner, I don't know what the other person was talking about his accent is not difficult to understand.
he is a good teacher when it comes to explaining. the test sometimes are not as easy to understand rather than when u are learning the material right at that moment. i recommend him to anyone who is going to take mgf 1106
Really good professor. Gives a good curve on tests and even has reviews on the weekend! Is always willing to help and truly wants you to understand the material and do well in the class. :0)
HE WAS KIND OF CONFUSING.
The material itself can get a little confusing but he helps understand it, even though his accent doesnt lol. He also gives back tests and lets you corret them for better points on them. His quizzes are pretty easy if you study. Take him if you're not a math pro.
This course is sooooo easy...Go to class and take notes and notes and you will be fine...He always has REVIEWS before every tests and if you go to those you will DEFINITELY be OK because he is very helpful...He is a great professor and will go something over and over until you get it...He is also verrrrry nice =)
He is a great teacher. YOu must study for the exams. Go to his extra reviews if he has them. He is very helpful so dont hesitate on talking to him. He gives extra credit sometimes. Dont skip on class.
great professor, the best math professor at FIU, a really nice guy and an easy class... puts notes online, gives extra credit, able to re-do short tests for a better grade, study sessions for tests on the weekends, gives every opportunity to succeed. defintely recommend him...
very good professor. go to reviews.. gives extra credit.. nice guy... reccomend him to anyone
The best professor EVER!! He is great, super helpful. He explains each single detail, until you finally understand. He is a SUPER perfect math teacher.. RECOMMENDED!!
He goes over things multiple times until you get it, be sure to go to his recitations (part of your grade) and his Reviews for exams on weekends are great. He offers plenty of extra credit and is willing to meet with you during office hours to help you. Great Teacher Very Nice, Exams are easy if you study notes. =)
This professor loves his job, and you can tell. He's very helpful. I did not like how he taught (since he would explain things kindergartten style) so I did not attend his lectures, only exams and recitations and received an "A". I recommend him; easy class
best math professor EVERRRRR!!!!! na but for real he's mad good yo... take him, i got an A...
I took this professor for mat 1998 and mac 1105. THE BEST MATH PROFESSOR @ FIU. He is not only extremely easy but he is actually a good teacher it is impossible to do poorly you can tell that he really likes teaching and wants students do well. reviews on weekends also extremely helpful if you are not good at math he will make you good.
For those of you who hate math.. he's the one for you. If you need help he usually tries to help you in any way he can; during lecture, after class, at office hours, even if you catch him just on the go. No one does this, trust me. He really cares about his students.
for finite math, he was a good teacher. Even for a lecture with around 200 students, he made sure everyone knew what he was teaching. he answered any and all questions. he teaches slowly, and repeats himself. posts grades online, sometimes a little late with that.
he was good until the end, he didnt post the grades online like he said he would... now i am taking the final without knowing my exam 3 grade as well as the quiz grades.
the best math prof. He took the time to come in on weekends to tutor us for exams, he made sure that everyone understood the material, if you hate math take him. he's very understanding and caring.
I have hated math throughout my entire schooling... I have even dropped math twice...but Robles is an amazing teacher who makes even the most mathematically challenged understand the material. He is very helpful, offers enough opportunities to raise and maintain your grades and his test reviews are excellent. I actually got an A in his class!
If you can barely count past 3 (in other words, you suck at math) this is the guy for you. Makes things REALLY easy for you. Totally recommend him, VERY VERY easy
Probably the best professor I have ever had at FIU! Totally commited to the student's learning, very energetic. He loves math and loves to teach it even more. Came in on weekends for review sessions. You have to really try hard to not learn and pass his classes.
the best math professor in fiu... recommend him 100%.. goes out of his way on weekends to do reviews before the test.. loves to teach and wants you to learn..
i've onli had one math class, but i can tell that he's def. one of the best-- if not THE best math teacher @ FIU. he's understandable, but sometimes he xplains things more complicated than they really are, but he genuinely loves teaching, wants to help the students, and goes out of his way to post reviews online. i'd DEF. take him again anytime.
BY FAR THE BEST MATH PROFESSOR @ fiu. This professor is amazing if your not good at math you can not only get an A but you can actually learn to like math. He goes out of his way to make sure you understand and he's a young really nice guy. The material is hard so he's by no means a free A. If his class is closed and ur not good @ math wait
I used to hate math, but I finished the class loving it. I wished there was an intermediate part to finite but there isn't. Do all the homework and ask lots of questions. He's always willing to help. By far best professor for math.
Maybe in finate its different, but in trig he was awful! he never gave examples, didnt review before the tests, tests have like 50 questions and you cant finish, he sometimes reviews on the weekend b/c he waistes class going over primary examples and never gets into real problems. & really boring. dont reccomend for trig AT ALL.
I'm in this class now and he's great! he has reviews for the tests he reviews on saturdays he truly wants you to learn and pass the class! highly recommend!
awesome teacher always ready to help you with anything!
He's nice and he's willing to help you, but he goes too fast and is all over the place. if you really want to pass you have to REALLY study.
I wish I didn't follow the advice here. He's way too fast for me, and I work full-time and am taking 15 credits (online and off). If you want to pass: You need to study!! Do all the practice exercises after class. I dropped it because I could not keep up. Same snowball rule applies: you miss something and dont catch up right away: it's over.
Awsome teacher!!!! I tried taking finite with two other teachers and they do not even compare to him. He gives you study guides before the test and offers to come on Saturdays. Really nice guy.
this guy is da s***. in my opnion if u are willing to learn and enjoy MAC 1105 or any other math take erick and will not regret it.
I didn't pass Finite the first time around but he taught it so much easier. And he had review classes for anyone that needed them as well as being really helpful if you asked him to be. I recommend him as a Finite professor.
at the beginning he was a little fast but it just atkaes time to learn how he teaches. He helped a lot had reviews before test and three before the final. Gives study guides before each test. he is a good teacher but you have to do some homeowrk to know what you are doing and practic eon your own but he is always willin gto help you.
AMAZING professor, he really helps his students whenever he can, such as weekend reviews occassional extra credit. He teaches the material fast, but its not something that is insurmountable. Besides the lectures he does, do the homework it really helps a lot in the learning process. GOOD LUCK!
his study guides are far easier then his tests. he told us that we had no common exam, but then a WEEK before he told us we did. so half of the material we didnt learn, and was it hard. he is also VERY SLOW. he also said he dont believe in curving, and his test are very hard!!! go to fiu.edu/~erobl001 and you'll see the grades from fall '06
horrible! on the first test the average score was a 46. I am an A student and I had to drop the class. ONly take if you already know algebra well.
horrible teacher! goes really fact, makes u stay before and after class (even saturdays) to cover material he could not teach in regular class hours. His tests have nothing to do with his reviews and they are really hard. Also, his extra credit is like 20 points when the class average is 40 (out of 100). Very hard grader and inconsiderate..do not r
You are very lucky if you have this professor. It is obviously not easy there is a lot of material to cover in a short time, but Robles will do everything he can to help you. He even comes on weekends to do test reviews, he really wants his students to pass. Go to class, do the homework, & you will be fine. And he has good handwriting which helps!
this guy goes super fast and doesn't curve even when 99% of students are failing! he also told us there was no common final and a week before the test he said that he "realized" that there is! After everything he still refused to give any xtra credit or curve.do not recommend unless ur a math genius because even his reviews r nothing like t tests
I don't understand how anyone could be disappointed with this professor. He is a great professor! He teaches very well, he is extremely helpful and cares a lot about his students. He goes out of his way to explain to the students and cares about what their grades are. He is by far the best professor in F.I.U. I recommend him 100%
By far the best FIU professor! He is great, available for students. Very cooperative, caring and has study sessions if you do not understand. IF you do not understand any of his work use his office hours!!! Loves math and loves to teach it! Totally recommended!
Easiest class at FIU he is very helpful and coopertive with his students he is flexible and always willing to add extra credits and additional reviews to improve grades. The only reason anyone would fail his class would be b/c they are LAZY!!!!!!
For finite math, he's a good professor. (havent had him in anything else). He makes sure his students understand. He can be a little goofy sometimes but it lightens up the mood a bit. His tests and quizzes are pretty easy. He reviews right before giving out quizzes!
THE BEST!

Awesome finite teacher! Teaches material very well and posts notes online. Tests are similar to the reviews he makes. Take him! Shouldn't get lower than a B.
Great teacher. I failed finite math the first time I took it and am pretty sure I'll end up with either an A or a high B this time. He teaches very well and explains everything until you get it. He cares about his students a lot and goes so far as to come in on weekends or late at night for reviews for tests. He's great. Take him if you hate math.
Easy class. The test is the same as the review. Gives extra credit.
This proffessor is awesome!! He is so helpful, he really cares about his students, he gives reviews for tests out of class-go to them they help a lot.
he is a great teacher. best math teacher i've had ever he tries to teach u as best as he can.aslong as u study,go to reviews and go to class your good.
AWESOME TEACHER... IF YOU TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRET IT AND YOU WONT HAVE TO GO TO EVERY SINGLE CLASS BECAUSE HE PUTS ALL THE NOTES ONLINE AND TEST REVIEWS ARE PRETTY MUCH IDENTICAL TO TESTS...
He is a very good professor, he goes slow and repeat the material until you understand it. If you don't understand the material you should be a dum . And also He is kinda cute, so it is not a big effort to go to class , in his very peculiar way. Now I like math. I strongly suggest you to take the class.
He really cares about his students, takes every chance he can get to help out. His notes are a godsend. Print out all notes, attend his reviews and you will pass his class with an A. His explanations are thorough and very easy to follow. One of two great math teachers I've had.
this professor is amazing. he really cares about his students and tries to teach you and helps you as much as you need. lots of extra credit!. take him. i got a B and i am TERRIBLE at math. amazing!
UMMM!!! this guy is the man!!! i Dropped my last MGF1106 class because i couldn't understand and with him i passed with flying colors!!!! super helpful,understanding,clear on the material,and EASY :)take him don't even think twice!!!
I LOVE THIS MAN!!!! TAKE THIS CLASS...YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!
I loved, loved this teacher. HE IS ADORABLE!!!! if you have a problem he listens and tries TO HELP YOU. I suck at MATH but he made EASIER THEN I THOUGHT!!! def TAKE HIM!!! he is great!!!!
PROFESSOR ROBLES IS AMAAAZING! HE MAKES MATH ENJOYABLE AND EASY. HIS EXAMS ARE A LOT LIKE HIS REVIEWS AND HE IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP. YOU WON'T REGRET TAKING THIS CLASS WITH HIM!
yo, u know erick u my man, my hommie since i took him back in da days for mac 1105, fall 06, he will do reviews for u, and extra meetings every saturday to help u out with da homework, i just took mac 2233 this summer and expecting like a B, still u have to work since it is math, but no way erick is da g for da chance, u heard?
He is so sweet and a great professor. He will explain things until every person understands!! Gives test review sheets and then goes over it the saturday before the test and puts similar problems on the test. If you go to class and just listen you can pass I promise!!
Tough class (especially if math is not your best subject) but the professor is very helpful. Make sure to take REALLY good notes, ask a lot of questions, and study study study. If you don't then you'll be lost and fail. Trust me. Just try to keep up and although attendance is not mandatory, it is crucial if you want to pass.
GREAT PROFESSOR, VERY, EXTREMLY HELPFUL. CARES ABOUT THE STUDENTS A LOT. DOING HW IS A MUST IF YOU WANT TO PASS THE CLASS. HE DOES NOT GRADE THE HW, BUT DOING IT IS WHAT WILL HELP YOU PASS. DON'T MISS CLASSES OR YOU'LL FALL BEHIND.
some friends told me that they heard this professor was good. they were totally wrong, i had to drop the class, if you dont know calculus, dont take this professor
Proffesor is nice, but the class is way too hard, only good if you understand math, if you don't avoid the class. Out of a 200+ class, only very few or so are left, over 100 people dropped. I had to drop as well.
class is way too hard and he does not explain the material well. the grade is made up of 4 tests and not much extra credit. the tests are much harder than the examplws in class and most everybody failed!
course is way 2 hard
Excellent, the best math teacher i've ever had, really cares for the students.He'll do reviews that really help a lot for the tests and even extra credit.The subject is not really easy but he makes it fun and interesting, personally i think that those who droped his class is because they don't do HW and don't study good enough! Highly recommend hi
Amazing Teacher! I've never been good at math and even less at calculus but this teacher made everything so clear now i can say i am a master, just do HW and go to the reviews (if you cant go the answers will still help you) Really Nice teacher!!! TAKE HIM!
i recommend him
i learned absolutely nothing
TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT TO GET A C WITHPUT LEARNING
doesnt curve nor give extra credit
EXCELLENT!!
The best math teacher ever!!!
this guy is hard but he helps you out
THIS IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER EVER! hes a great teacher.period. i wish he taught all my classes. just go to class (if u dnt know or like math). he usualli has notes online..u follow alone in class, he does reviews...depends on ur class ifu have quizes or not. HES ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP!!!!
This Guy is Great! He's is very helpful, he gives reviews before every test, even if it has to be on the weekend. He explains very thouroughly, likes to make sure we know the material. Best Math teacher I've ever taken.
Long notes but you can print them out. Explains everything yet its hard to retain it. Takes him long to grade tests. He does a review right before the test which helps alot. He gives extra credit because his tests average in the 40's. Very critical grader. I didnt like him but there arent many better teachers
this professor is the best.... i took his finite math class and he was ver very helful he always had reivews on saturday and he gave you the answer and his test werent that hard if you study...very nice guy i think every ine should take his class
Never returns your email!!!! its so annoying
A great math teacher and a even better person. This prof will take time out of his own busy day just to help out students who are struggling, and he even have weekend classes to review for the tests. Everything thats on the test is on the notes he gives in class or on the review. Extremely helpful and a very kind person.
A nice guy. Teaches well and knows the material, but occasionally makes mistakes. Hard to understand sometimes, but he's more than happy to help if you have problems. DO NOT EXPECT HIM TO RETURN EMAILS OR PHONE CALLS. I missed my final and emailed him same day. DID NOT REPLY UNTIL 3 DAYS LATER. Never returned my phone call. A nice guy nonetheless
SIMPLY TAKE THIS TEACHER IF YOU WANT TO DO WELL IN MATH. HE DOES EXTRA REVIEWS ON WEEKENDS TO PREPARE YOU FOR TEST, SO IF YOU ARE COMMITTED TO GETTING A GOOD GRADE AND SHOW UP TO THE REVIEWS AND DO VERY FEW MATH PROBLEMS THAT HE ASSIGNS YOU WILL DO WELL IN HIS CLASS. TAKE HIM!
His reviews are exactly like his exams. So study and you'll be fine. His notes are very easy to understand and he goes over anything. He has reviews on Saturdays. He gives extra credit assignments to make up for having most of the class failing the exams. He doesn't answer his phone or return emails, but you can make an appointment with him durin
In general a good person but class is extremey hard no matter how much he tries. As a professor he has favorites and he is not as fair as he preaches. About 40% of the class dropped and from the remaining about 35% failed.
I am so glad I got this professor! I have heard such horror stories about the math teachers at FIU but he by far is one of the best I've ever had. He really does go above and beyond to help kids learn and so what he's late sometimes and doesnt return e-mails, take him and u will pass the class! Good luck everyone!
Professor Robles knows his stuff, but the subject was just difficult. I would Say almost half the class ended up dropping. I passed by some miracle of God. He offers extra credit whihc is probably why I passed, but the class was hard
Great Professor!!! Taught at a perfect pace, tests are difficult but during lectures and reviews he will give clear examples of what to expect. Plenty of extra credit helps out alot also.
This teacher is awesome! He isthe single greatest professor I've ever had! He'll come on weekends to solve the test reviews for you and he gives extra credit. He's a great teacher, take his class!
One of the best teachers i've ever had in math. the class is extremely hard but he explains it to you little by little like he was teaching a 2nd grader. he does a review before every test and if you need extra help hes always available. dont write him emails though b/c he'll never respond. highly highly recommended!
His passion for math is quite charming. He is the teacher that should set the standard for the best. Everything is explained clearly. Lots of extra credit and reviews.
Erick Robles is an amazing teacher. If you want to pass Business Calculus he will do everything he possibly can to help. He loves his job and you can definitely tell. His love for his job is what makes him such an incredible teacher. If you have to take Business Calculus take it with Erick Robles!
I'm a senior in college and this was one of my last classes... I had previously either failed/dropped this class because I was horrible at Math. Prof. Robles IS AMAZING! He's so helpful and explains everything to the T. Would HIGHLY recommend... I got an A in the course!!! (but i studied)p.s. People need to appreciate his effort for his students...
Best Teacher Ever!!
Eric is the best prof u will ever have for math!! I strongly recommend him 100%. He explains everything very clearly making it easier, and he has reviews before each exam, so as long as u know how to do the review u will befine in the exam.He is extremely helpful and open to help you out whenever.I was very happy to have him as a prof.Great person!
Best math professor I have ever taken!!! He gives you all the tools to get an A, is up to you to do it. Exams are exactly like his reviews, and the best part.....it all comes from the HW or the chapter reviews, 3 quizes, and like 40 pts of extra credit towards the tests. There are 3 tests and a final. His always available to help students.
He is the best math teacher I have ever taken. I failed trig last semester and after retaking the class with him I got a B+. He is so dedicated to teaching he even has extra weekend classes (optional). 3 tests, 1 final, a few quizes (which actually helps your grade)and a lot of extra credit.
BEST MATH TEACHER EVER! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!
This professor is awesome!!! He really cares about your grades and he does everything possible to help you learn the subject so you can get an A. The homework is extremely helpful and so are his tests. He's a great professor, I'd take him again in a heartbeat!
This guy is the best. If you are not good at math then you need to take Robles. He style of teaching is crystal clear. I'm not good in math at all but I totally understands what he is teaching. Attendance not mandatory but how do you expect to pass if you don't go to class. Calculus can be challenging but if you study you'll be fine.
Very good at explaining the math problems and giving examples. Gives plenty of extra credit and has reviews on the weekends before exams. I'm expecting to get an A
i am not math engaged, but in this class i learned so much. he explains everything and really cares about the students understanding! he tells corny hilarious math jokes :) and he cares so much that he even gives reviews and hw help over the weekend and gives out study guides. just go to class, pay attention, and study.
ABSOLUTLY THE WORST TEACHER EVER! IF YOU WANT TO PASS DONT TAKE IT WITH THIS MAN
Awesome Awesome Awesome Prof! Really knows this material like the back of his hand! Explains well, has reviews for exams, and really cares for his students. Take him! He curves gives extra credit and is brilliant! Test are not that hard if you attend the reviews!
Amazing professor!! Math has always been my worst subject but thanks to him I ended up with a B+ in his class!!..I highly recommend to go to all his reviews. The material he goes over in the reviews is exactly how the test is !!...Overall an AMAZING math professor!!
Robles is a very helpful professor, and although math is my weakest subject I managed to get an A. I recommend you go to the reviews and do the extra credit. If you do that you should pass the course easily
The best Math Professor I have ever taken! Math is not my favorite subject, but Professor Robles explains really well and is there for his students. He is awesome!
He was awful. I had a family emergency and couldn't make it to his second exam. So he said email me the reason and i'll double your final. So i emailed him and he never replied, so I talked to him again and he said to write him a letter...so I wrote him a letter, and he never got back to me. So i ended up with a D when I was supposed to pass with a
He is one of the best math professors at FIU. Best P.A.N in the game.
