Great proffesor! After you deliver a speech, he will focus on the positive even if it was less than perfect. He is encouraging and enthusiastic. I definately recommend him.
Good professor, but hard to get a hold of...he is never in his office.
very encouraging. take him for intro for sure.
Very dedicated and caring professor. His grading is fair. He is probably the most awesome communicator I have ever encountered.
Excellent instructor!!! Very interesting class!!
Good Teacher. He is funny and will make you laugh almost every day. Interest and grades fair and doing speeches it does not require a lot from you, just eye contact and organization. Gives you review sheet on whats goin to be on test. GREAT!!
I had never made a speech in English until I took his class. English is my second language, but he gave me enough confidence to speak in front of 500 people earlier this year, in a formal dinner at a Houston restaurant. Thanks Dr. Roubicek! :)
He's a GREAT professor. I really enjoyed being in his class.He helps you out if you need it and grades fair. He also gives you a review before a test.
He is a GREAT teacher!He is very helpful,very clear,and funny.He focuses on the positive and looks for eye contact,posture,and make sure you speak loud and clear.I would recommend any class he offers.
This professor is not helpful in any way!
By far the best professor I have had!!!! He makes it worth waking up for an 8:30am class. He should teach more at sugar land or through itv more.
Rude and very unhelpful... ***HOLE.
Absolutely awesome professor!!! I highly recommend his class.
Ignore the Psych & English ratings below; Dr. Roubicek doesn't teach either class. The Interview class is still in its infancy stages but is likely to be the most useful class you will ever take, and possibly the most fun one, too. Roubicek is as helpful, respectful & good a teacher as you'll find.
A lot of COMM majors take this class but everyone I know who doesn't take it with Roubicek complains about it! He chooses a broad approach, touching on many different topics in Comm Theory, a few in great depth. If you're not sure about what interests you, this is a great intro to Comm Theory.
Dr.Roubicek is the nicest,caring person I've ever come across in my collage career. He's beyond fair and treats each student with respect and holds them in high favor.I wish there where more professors like him. I took his Interviewing & Communication in the class room course.you will makean Aorb
He's very interesting once you get confortable.You could also learn lots of things from him.Study and you'll be fine.Make sure you listen and pay attention.
real great professor. real nice and sweet and so easy. the class is helpful with becoming a good storyteller.
I've taken Dr. R for 2 different classes...He is a great professor. Extremely clear and gives reviews to help before test. Very understanding of the fact that we all have lives.
Great teacher!!! please take him he is very clear on what he wants done. easy class and you'll become a great storyteller
Best professor @ Uhd....... All i can say!!. He cares about students. Do the work, show up and you will make an A. I wish there were more professors like him.
Excellent professor!!!!!! I strongly recommend this class.
This professor is cool. He gives you a review sheet for each test. We only had to give 2 speeches and he grades you very fairly. I had a good time taking this class Dr. Roubicek really cares about his students... even dumb asses who walk in 30mins late (why come at all?)
He's a really nice professor. He tries to help you out whenever you need it. You'll have to read a lil but mostly pay close attention to him.
hes good youll have fun
unbel;evable. you must experience this fab teacher to believe it. the best. period.
Talk to anyone who has been to several schools. Dr. R. is the best prof in the state. Maybe more. And soooooooo easy on the eyes.
Pick him for your Comm class! He's great. I like his funny character. He makes the class interesting.
he is a very unique teacher. He is one of the best professor at the school. I f you take him, not only will you leave his calls with a lot of knowledge, but you will also feel hapy that you pick him as your instructor.
Great professor. Try not to miss class its fun. you get to learn different things. Professor is nice. easy grade.
Dr. R. is an expert. He has many years of experience with storytelling and still practices the art. He is helpful, creative, knowledgeble, approachable, and extremely positive. His positive nature is most important for this course, which is performance based. He makes no one feel foolish or insignificant. Show up, prepare well, & get an A.
He is the best! He's funny, nice, and very intelligent. He's very dedicated and cares about his students.
He is the best COMM professor! He tells you exactly what will be on the exams, he grades easy, and makes the class as fun as possible :) You won't be disappointed when you take his class!
Best teacher I've had so far! 2 speeches, 3 tests...tells you exactly what to study. Test is half lecture and half book...all written but study the review and make an A. Speeches not until the end of the semester and are fun!
Because of this professor I changed my major to communications! His class consist of 3 test, 2 speeches. Come to class on time, take notes, pay attention, there is no reason why you wont make a A. Attendence is mandatory, and he never misses class! You can miss up to 3 classes, and he lets you make up a test if you have a valid reason! No make ups!
OMG I love this class! This has been my fav class since Ive been in college! He is brilliant, exciting and helpful! He teaches and explains the class wonderfully. You must attend class though you are allowed 3 absences but I guarantee you wont even want to miss class. Take this course I am enrolling in another one of his classes next semester!
Good teacher, easy class. He's very funny and make giving a speech in front of others possible.
Best professor ever..I'm thinking to take a minor in communication!If you can take him...go on!!!
Incredible professor with a talent for captivating his students while sharing his passion for communication. Highly recommended.
Great teacher!!!!! The best in his field!!!!!!!!!!!!
just awesome, great learning experience with one of the prof that really care in a human perspective
I took him for my first semester in college from a Communications credit and I definitly don't regret it. I took Storytelling. It's definitly an easy A if you create your story and express it smoothly depending upon its subject. Don't interrupt him though, he's outspoken.
He is one of the best professors at UHD! I recommend him to anyone who takes a communication class!
He is hands down my favorite professor at UHD. I had him for both storytelling and Comm Theory. Both classes were extremely easy. If you come to class everday, there is no reason you wouldn't pass with at least a B.
LOVE HIM!! he makes it fun!!
Professor Roubicek is a very very easy teacher!!! Take storytelling if you are looking for an enlightening experience paired up with an easy A.
FASCINATING class & professor! I would take him again any day & HIGHLY recommend!
This is Dr Roubicek's passion, and you can really tell by the way he teaches his class. He gives excellent feedback that you can carry with you beyond his class. As long as you make the effort, you should be good. I would highly recommend taking his Public Speaking class.
Excellent teacher! Truly loves his field and loves teaching it to others. Definitely a great teacher and I would recommend him to everyone!
Great Professor & Great Person!! One of my favorite professor's here at UHD. I loved this class!!
Dr. R is the best Professor ever! He is brilliant, inspring and funny :) I was a comm major and took him for every class that I possibly could. Love him! Take him!
inspiring*
Must take this Professor he is so inspiring and i am not a communications major but i learned so much and made an A !Very fair grading and responds to emails very quickly. Wish I could take him for another course!Took him this summer!
Dr. Roubicek is one of the best professors on campus. He makes class interesting, fun and is willing to work with you. I recommend taking this professor!
Dr. Roubicek is a very understanding, compassionate, and wonderful teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed his class. Speaking in front of the class is mandatory, but I am not afraid of public speaking so I didn't find this class very challenging- though some others may have. Anticipated an A and received an A. Several stories to tell, midterm, and a final.
What an amazing professor. He really motivated students both for this course as well as for other areas of personal/academic life. I'm sure he's one of the reasons why a lot of UHD students complete their degrees. I loved having him and it's a pity I won't have him more often. Highly recommended.
Great Professor! Applies concepts learned in the book to the real world allowing for us to understand. Gives good reviews for his tests. As long as you try there is no reason not to make at least a B in his class.
Its so many things I can say about Dr. R, but I wouldn't have enough space to tell you how amazing he is. His textbook is a novel he wrote and when I read it I feel like I can hear his voice as I'm reading along. He was the easiest prof. and I wish he taught English so I could take him for the rest of my time here at UHD. He's just that amazing.
So inspiring. He believes in you and wants you to do your best.
Very passionate about what he teaches, take this professor!!! He is very clear on every assignment, and he is fair!
One of the best professors I have ever had. I did not know I had an interest in storytelling, nor did I understand how helpful this course would be in general communications, public speaking, writing, and even psychology... until I had the pleasure of taking this class. Professor Roubicek is passionate about his work and teaching
I took this course as an U/L electives in the Summer. Given that it was the Summer, and I had no interest in the subject, I was apprehensive but what an amazing course it proved to be! The professor tailors the course to be sensibly paced and fun given that it is offered in a short summer. Very inspirational and helpful outside class too. Take it!!
Walking into Dr. Roubicek's class is like walking into the Best Professor in the Nations classroom. Yeah, he's that good. He teaches interviewing thru simulations and lots of activities. He does things with his students, praises them and is the definition of cool. II swear he is the communications department. And yes, he is extremely hot!!!
Three letters: OMG. Now I know why this course closes in a minute. He is fair, funny, brilliant, creative, and more respected by students than any prof I know. Storytelling is the best course anyone can take. It's not what you might think. It's fantastic! Also Dr. R. is a role model because he is compassionate and kind. He loves his job.
Dr. Roubicek is an amazing man, he is not only an excellent professor, but he is passionate and respectable. I would love to have him as a mentor during my graduate studies. Taking communication classes with Dr. Roubicek is a great pleasure. I wish he taught more courses so I could have him for every class. Use his feedback in your grad portfolio!
He is great! You'll leave wishing you had to chance to take his classes again, no joke! He is a true gem at UHD.
Roubicek is one of the best. He's funny and actually lectures real world advice instead of reading from the book.
The best of the best. Period. Does what he says he will do. Fair beyond belief. Brilliant. He is remarkably student centered. Do not miss taking one of his classes.
I am over 50 and been in school all my life. Dr. R. Is the most creative, passionate, caring professor I ever had the chance to know. How lucky am I. His teaching methods are so amazingly effective that you even surprise yourself. He has been at Uhd for 35 years and is always excited and fresh. He is fun and youthful and cool.
Very nice and lectures makes a lot of sense . I really enjoyed the class.
I loved this class, I think Dr. Roubicek is a great professor, I learned so much in the time I had him as a teacher, and I am actually taking his COMM 3309 class next semester.
He won the best teacher this year and did so when he began about 30 years ago. Talk about consistent. Brilliant. inspirtional. Best of the best of the best. Knows his stuff better than anyone on the planet.
He seems to be a tough grader at first, but I've excelled in his class somehow. No homework really, but make sure you have an in-depth knowledge of the material because you will have to demonstrate it in practical assignments.
Hes a really cool teacher and his class is really easy as long as you participate and take feedback well.
Hands down the best teacher I have ever taken at UHD. I wish I could have Dr R around at all times for the sarcasm and life advice. Very witty & very knowledgable. Its too bad he's retiring. If you have the chance to take him TAKE HIM. Classes are all about participation; as long as you do your part you shouldn't not make that A!
There are too many great characteristics to list but astonishing covers most of it. This man is the most professional, caring, compassionate and fairest professor I have ever known. Integrity and knowledge are just the beginning. Students matter to him. Period. Prof R lives for giving students a great experience. Always. must have him for a class.
This is another course I took with Dr. r the same term. His ways of teaching is superb and his ability to improv and demonstrate communication techniques are beyond imagination. He types page long critiques. Believe it. There is a eng and psy prof accidentally in his ratings. Ignore them. Dunno why they are there.. take this guy. Run to his class
This is the second class I had with Dr.R this summer. His teaching methods are off the charts. He types page long critiques and demonstrates things in class magically. Amazingly. Run to his class. I noticed There is an eng and psy profs mistakingly in his ratings so ignore them. Dunno where they came
I just got a great job and its because of Dr. R. Everything asked in my interview was anticipated by this professor. Dont listen to your advisors about resumes and cover letters. Listen to Dr. Roubicek. Incredible what he knows. I will miss him more than anyone from Uhd.
If your not afraid to talk in front of a crowd or read in front of the classroom this is an easy A
Professor Roucibek class was fun and straightforward. It is easy and a little bit intimidating if you are not used to public speaking because the assignments are mostly small presentations. Honestly it is not that bad, he is an easy grader and makes it easier for you. Definitely one of the best professors in UHD. I highly recommend taking him.
Roubicek gets a lot of praise for his ability to give feedback and critique, but with some students he will home in and lambast them endlessly for the smallest mistake. I was one of those students, and his mannerisms, gouging my grades, and overall uncaring for the humiliation he doled out left a sour taste in my mouth.
