By far, he is one of the best teachers I've had. He really goes against the grain. When most teachers are lecture, content, and boring heavy; Franklin makes you learn, makes it fun. I think if you want to do well, all you gotta do is listen to what he says. He really makes you learn. Would definitely take again ++++

Doesn't teach the content. Talks about personal issues. And even though attendance is not mandatory, he will make snide remarks about those who don't come to his class to listen him talk about himself. Would never take him again.

Don't be fooled by his firm approach, this prof is very strategic. Listen to him. He gives very good techniques to do well in class. For me, I had to work hard to do well. If you listen to what Franklin says, you will give yourself a chance to do well. In my class, he would tell us the most important classes to attend. So I went to those classes.

Franklin is the most inspirational professor you might ever meet. His lectures are wild, but he always has purpose. He brings course content beyond the classroom, giving it meaning you wouldn't find just by reading. He also responds to messages in a jiffy!

I like how he integrates real-world experiences into his lectures and is knowledgeable about clinical-related discussions. However, his teaching style is very abstract and can sometimes get too into his own personal life. When it comes to essays, he also has many rules of his own that I did not see written in the rubric.

He DOES NOT TEACH. you will have to read all the readings and make your own notes, awful professor, switch out of his class if you can! He usually goes on talking about his life, and events (non course-related) for more than half a class, then rush through the actual content in the last half hour. He is a funny person though!

Franklin's teaching style is incongruent with the high school method. He challenges his students to think and link concepts via the use of creative examples. The course is concept and theory-heavy as the title suggests. Top grades are easily achievable if you put in the required work and pay close attention in class. He's also very accessible.

I wish I had this teacher from first year. Ive gotten 3 papers now, his comments are very usefeul and makes you think to be better. His teaching is pretty much the same as others, but the main difference for me is that he uses actual real scenarios. If you are looking for an easy A, then switch. If you want to learn and be better, then take him.

This instructor is tough. But he will also make sure that you come out prepared. At the end of the day, we become independent nurses. In my experience, I had him for 3 out of the 4 years at Ryerson. At first, he did seem hard. For me that was good, now that I'm working I always think of the problem solving he drilled in my mind. Excellent mentor!

This prof will purposely give you low marks and slowly increase it to show your "growth". This course is overall assignment heavy and this prof will mark you difficult so avoid to save your GPA.

By far the worst professor I have ever encountered for my undergrad. He is extremely rude, and unprofessional. He choses "favourites" and expresses opinions that are offensive. I have experienced racism with him and it is clear he has no intention helping his students.

It is very evident that these reviews are not written by previous students. When I had him years ago, he would make inappropriate comments and talk about himself non stop. I barely remember the curriculum being covered. It is unfair to students when the exam is quite difficult as it robs us of learning.

Pointless course, i dont remember learning anything in his class. He would constantly talk about himself, I knew more about his life than the content of the course. he seems nice but he stressed us out. Some of the stuff he said in class made us uncomfortable, he just made me feel very uneasy and anxious. He marks hard.

Dr Gorospe was truly one of the best instructors I had in school. He helped me understand the tough learnings in patho. He broke down complex topics in a way that actually made sense and always took the time to make sure I understood. Thanks to his guidance and support, I passed the NCLEX on my first try! He was always availabe.

Excellent professor. Returning to school after years in full-time nursing was daunting, but Franklin made it manageable. Always accessible and answers my course questions within minutes. Wish he taught more courses.

A big thank you to Dr. Gorospe. The semester was very hard for me because my family was sick and my mind was not always focused. English is not my first language, so sometimes I struggle to say things the right way. I really appreciate how understanding and supportive he was when I was going through difficult time. Thank you for helping me pass.

Honestly a great prof. He's really good at explaining patho so it actually makes sense instead of just being confusing. He's lowkey really nice once you talk to him and super helpful if you ask questions. Makes class way less stressful. Would take again.

I thought I understood bios before taking this class. I did really well in Centennial and patho last year, but Dr. Gorospe explains concepts in a way that actually makes them click. His teaching helped me understand the material and see how it connects. Challenging but absolutely worth it, for me he makes me a better student.
