he is very helpful and understanding. The exams are easy and they turn out to be good if u study the notes and go to class. If u work a bit u will surely get an A+ in his class. he also makes his lactures interesting. i recomend u to take his class.
He is a very understanding teacher. Very easy. Explains everything to the max. Wants his students to do well, very helpful. For tests study the lecture notes well for an A. Gives extra credit. i never used the book and got an A.
Jace is truely a good teacher. His exams can be tough, especially if you dont study! pop quizes really easy though, lab assignments are fun. He is so approachable, you can ask him anything. attend class, dont need a book, i never opened mine....recommended for sure =]
I would recommend Jace if you HAVE to take a bio class and if you love biology. His lectures are hilarious. Grading is strait forward. He has tons of study tools online. He throws out the lowest exam, lab, and pop quiz grade at the end of the semester. The course has a non-accumulative final. Jace is a great person overall!
I definitely recommend him. He gives non-accumulative finals and throws out lowest test and quiz scores. He enjoys teaching and wants his students to succeed. He doesn't take attendance but also doesn't announce quiz dates so if you skip you could miss them. Also, save yourself $100 by not buying the book. GREAT TEACHER!
Mr. Robinson is a very friendly, dorky, and funny teacher. He's very helpful and knows maybe too much about Bio. Teaching style is engaging and good for lectures. The labs range from decent to fun. Check his awesome tattoo if you get the chance! I highly recommend Jace to everyone.
take him!!! he's an amazing teacher...dont buy the book never used it and got an A in class! his lectures and labs are fun...great teacher.
Great Professor!!!! His class is fun, still you can learn so much things. His teaching style is awesome.
Great teacher, smart, down to earth, understanding and funny. He puts difficult topics into more understandable words by giving funny situations and comparisons. He also loves lizards and zombies.
no Prof provides studymate material.it's like puzzles on blkboard,podcasts,notes,study guides,etc.but thr is unbelievabe amount of material & ths subject is life consuming w/discussion boards,online quizzes,etc w/deadlines.class or not something to do everyday.that blows!but he is the best thr is for the subject!!!
Way better than the last teacher i took. Bio is hard for me and i can't really sit down and study but some how i pulled off a C. He is really nice and very approachable. I went into his office for help before and he is very patient and understanding. Great guy sorta nerdy but he admits it and his jokes are pretty funny.
jace is an awesome teacher! he is by far the best teacher ive ever had at harper. He really wants everyone to succeed in the class and he makes the class enjoyable.I got an A in his class but i did have to work hard for it. take him for sure!!!
His Knowledge turns me ON! The best Bio teacher at HARPER COLLEGE!!! Biology is NOT an easy course but he does everything to make it EASY with all the studying materials. Very approachable and is willing go over the whole study guide before the Exams, which improved my grade from a C to an A...HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!
Jace is one of the best professors I have had yet in my academic career. He is very enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, and he tries to have a good time with the material. The class isn't easy, but you can certainly do well if you put the effort in. I would be surprised to find a better biology professor! Recommend without any hesitation!
Easily one of the best professors that Harper has. He always knows what he is talking about, and if he doesn't he is happy to find out and then explain it. He is genuinely interested in his students and clearly enjoys what he does. Simply great!
Great Teacher!! His tests are hard if you do not study. His online and lab quizes are easy. Lab are fun and he is very approachable!
If you listen in class i dont see how anyone could get less than an A. He always makes sure everyone understands the material as well as give exta help. Awesome guy with a great attitude, you can tell he really loves what he does and that enthusiasm truely makes class fun
Love the zombie man! Very helpful, gives you great class note cards, study guides and downloadable lectures online. Answers emails quickly. Great to look at too!!!!
Jace is cool! Nerdy but really funny. He makes learning anatomy really fun. Tough class but he gives you the tools to succeed but you have to study. Lectures & labs were awesome! Tests were challenging so study!! If you want to learn and be entertained take his class you won't be disappointed!
Jace has the best teaching methods at harper. The exams are based off the notes so you dont need the book. He also posts study tools like notecards to help the studying. And his jokes are hilarious! Unlike the comment at 6/15, he IS professional and is a laid back teacher for a generally tough class taught easily by him. Easiest A ever
Jace is such an awesome professor! This is not an easy class by far. But if you work hard and study there is no reason to get a bad grade. He is very helpful and approachable. He also tries to make the class enjoyable with his bad jokes. ;-)
Jace is awesome! By far one of the best at Harper. The person who said he was unprofessional.. your obv uptight and have no sense of humor. Jace is great and the way he teaches is professional even if he doesnt look it. Appearance doesnt matter, its what you get from the class. Were adults and he treats us as such. Swears offended you? Grow up. lol
Love him. Enjoy his class so much.
Jace was awesome! Even with class 4 days a week (I look the class over the summer), he kept things interesting! I would definitely take another of his classes again!
Anatomy is a lot of memorization so it doesn't really matter who your teacher is- it's how much effort YOU put in it. He's funny and always willing to help.
nice, funny!!!!! but not easy.the person's commen before was correct, it doesn't matter who the teacher is but how much effort you put in it. 5 exams plus 3 lab practicals which were tricky. u have to study hard to get B.
I absolutely loved Jace. He was hilarious and kept things interesting. I took his class over the summer, so it was very fast paced, but he was always willing to help. I was very bummed when I couldn't take his Anatomy class because of scheduling conflicts. Study, take notes, and pay attention and you will do fine. You have to work for your A!
I am surprised jace received such positive ratings. I would not recommend him as a teacher. I feel he spends too much time trying to be funny. the average scores in his class range from the high 50's to low 70's. not sure what the goal is. he tends to like tricky questions.
Jace is an awesome teacher, i really wanted him for anatomy but i guess he doesn't teach during the fall :( His lecture tests and podcasts were extremely helpful, if you want to do well in that class, listen/watch the podcasts and pay attention in class and you will do good.
can anybody please tell me his email adress?also if anybody knows about his override request thing?
Jace was a great teacher! He really knows his stuff. He makes the class interesting and fun and uses real life examples you can relate to. I would recommend him if you take school seriously, but even so his tests are still hard. Use ALL of your resources! I studied my butt off and only got a B. If ur looking for easy, Jace is not for you.
Awesome professor, test were tough however...he is approachable, willing to help his students and provides podcasts of all his lectures. Very very funny!
Love this professor!! He is very very helpful. Quiz every lab and online quizzes every week, very helpful towards the lab practicals and lecture exams. Uses relatable info to help you better understand. STUDY his powerpoints, exams based off of them. Overall tough class but Jace is always willing to help. Very funny also!!
Professor Robinson is a good teacher, he's tough and you need to do your work in order to get a good grade. But that's why you are in his class, to learn! He provides you with podcasts of his lectures so you can go back and listen over and over again if need be. That alone makes taking his class worth the effort. I'd take any class he teaches
He's the best! You actually learn and since he's a great teacher, you wouldn't mind it either. I highly suggest him for BIO.
Jace is an awesome teacher! He uses his power points for all test material. He's tough,but funny & willing to help students.I got an A, but absolutely needed to study HARD to earn that.I took summer course and had to study3+ hrs/day.I imagine that could be cut in 1/2 for 16wk sem.Don't expect to coast by and get a C, but if taking course take Jace!
Jace was awesome and very funny. I actually liked going to class. The test were hard and you need to study... A LOT! Maybe because it was a summer course. Either way he is pretty cool and I enjoyed having him.
Super funny teacher and very approachable! Take him, you will have fun in his class!
OMG!!! He is the greatest biology professor in the world. He is an angel sent from God to Earth. Study the powerpoints and do the study guides and you should do fine. 4 exams, 1 final, 3 lab practicals, 3 quizzes, 25 online quizzes. He's SUPERMAN!!
Anatomy is a tough class as it is and requires a lot of hours to be put into it but Jace is a great teacher that is approachable and helpful. Take him, you won't regret it.
Awesome teacher. The class itself will never be easy but he makes it fun and a little enjoyable. You will never be bored in his class. He actually understands that' it sucks to be there so he tries to make everything simple. I would definitely take him again
Really cool guy but treats his BIO 101 class like a masters course. Exams are very hard being multiple choice and multiple answer.
This teacher sucks he not a great teacher at all. I took the class online. It was extreamly difficut. The whole class faild. He had everyone take the exams at harper. He did not give us any material to help us study. He has the exams have insanly more points then homework and extra credit. he does not answer emails. I do not recomend this teacher
He was horrible! He never replied to ANY emails, and there was no communication at all. The exams were insanely hard, and worth 70% of our grade!!!
I really loved his class!! He makes sure students understand his lectures. I would definitely take his class again and recommend him.
Great guy, really knows his material and is hilarious. Very clear and easy to understand; approachable. Posts podcasts of his lectures in case you miss any. THIS CLASS IS HARD, expect to study 1-2 hours/day for lab exams. Strictly grades them. Lecture exams are not bad. Study sessions- pointless. They're not ran by him and consist of irrelevance.
worst teacher in Harper. He does not care if students do good in his class. He spends a lot of time for telling jokes in class,which have nothing to do about BIO. only one BIO joke was about his wife's V... will eject baby for him. You have to come to each class and sign in. His power points are some how helpfull but for AorB u need book
His explanations are very clear and he is trying very hard to make us understand what he is talking about. Study sessions with the student instructor are very helpful. Anatomy is hard, and a lot of individual study is required, regardless who the professor is. Whoever is unhappy that this subject is hard, should retake kindergarten!
Way overrated here. I wonder if he left some of these reviews. Not hot - but funny. Lab exams are very difficult. Lecture exams are average. Very little help. Doesn't respond to email.
Great teacher!!! I loved bio going in to the class and he mad it fun and interesting!!!
This is a very good teacher! He makes his lessons clear and fun to follow in presentation. His exams are detailed but very fair! I highly recommend Jace!
WORSE teacher i've ever had at harper, he could care less if you attent to class. He cares more about making silly jokes (lame jokes) rather than teach the class. Is a waste of money and time. His test are very tricky and hard. If you really want to learn something DON'T TAKE HIM..
He's an excellent professor. The examples he provides are very helpful if you actually listen!! Most of the people who didn't have a good experience in the class probably didn't study enough or didn't efficiently. Study hard and you'll do very well.
He was by far one of the best professors I've had. Actually I haven't been that excited about going to school before! He prepares you for the medical field with very useful material. golden apple award :P
Good teacher! He makes his lessons clear and he does have a good sense of humor and try to make the class laugh. His exams are detailed but if you study and follow the lecture its fair. I highly recommend Jace.
He may not respond to all emails but has office hours almost everyday and encourages students to see him before or after class with any questions. If you take the time to ask he will take the time to help. Never rushes u. Tests are challenging. He posts podcasts and study guides. Which are helpful. study, ask questions and you'll be fine.
This class was one of my best classes ever. he helps you a lot with every thing, and he is such a great person !.
It's a hard class and his tests are hard and not very clear, but overall he is a good teacher
Jace is definitely a good teacher who is passionate about what he does, and it shows. Yes, some of his jokes are sorta lame, but he has charisma and keeps his lectures from being too boring. You will need to study and be on top of things to do well, but it is definitely possible. Labs are long but fun. He also gave us 3 e.c opportunities ! take him
Jace was fantastic! His jokes were kind of lame but funny and he has great charisma. He's passionate about what he teaches, and never boring. You don't have to cone to class- he has podcasts and PowerPoints online. Labs are long but interesting and fun. Never even bought a book. Tests aren't bad if you study. Offered 3 extra credit opportunities.
Coming to lectures are not mandatory, and if you do miss it there's always his lecture powerpoints posted online. Although, It's a must for labs. You need to show up in order to take the weekly lab quizzes. You also need to take the time to study else you will fail.
he makes quizes and tests challenging.
Jace is his funny, helpful, and a great Bio teacher. Fill out the study guides prior to the 4 tests and 2 lab practicals, listen to the podcasts if you missed something in class, and talk to him before lab so you know what he'll quiz you on. He is very approachable so if you have questions, just ask! Very fun guy who loves what he does. TAKE HIM!
Really cool teacher.
Summer class with Jace was extremely challenging. During lab, he left the room often and it was difficult to get his full attention. Only twice did he walk us through dissection. The rest of the time it was 4 students guessing and assuming what we were cutting open. The items in the anatomy library room were not helpful for this course.
amazing teacher ! i took a summer class. summer classes are always tough! everything is in the power point. his lectures are not boring ,he is always very helpful. i learned a lot!!! i don't think it's possible to fail this class ! highly recommended teacher !
Great lectures horrible labs. Lab is a free for all with no explaining. The only thing the professor does is unlock the door for us and he sits at his desk and eats lunch. Jace is the better professor out of Harper's horrible science department but he is still not worth the money to take the class.
This class involves a lot of memorization. Jace does a great job with getting through lectures. There's so much information that he has to go through it relatively quick, but is ALWAYS open for questions. He's hilarious and makes going to lecture easier. Labs involve a few dissections of organs and cadaver use. I learned a lot in this class!
I took BIO 160 with Jace last semester and he's a wonderful teacher! I was struggling in the class at first but he really wants to see his students excel. You MUST study every single day to succeed. Know the lectures to the T and work hard in lab because he won't guide you through models usually. Ask for help when you need it, he's not scary!
Jace is a really awesome teacher. He cares and is very passionate about his subject matter. His study guides are almost spot on just be prepared to study a lot because his tests are difficult. Go over the study guides a lot, highlight any key words he uses a lot and listen to his podcasts. His jokes get old but other than that you'll be good!
Jace is amazing. He is hilarious and his lectures are extremely entertaining. Even if you're not into science, I highly recommend his class. He is helpful and knows all his students pretty well. Labs sometimes end early. The tests aren't super difficult, you'll do fine as long as you study (which, by the way, he offers study guides).
Anatomy IS hard, but Jace is an extraordinary teacher. Notes for whole class are posted at day one along with voice recordings from lectures. There're no pop-quizzes, expect weekly online ones with unlimited number of attempts. No xtra credit in class, but there're few extra questions on an exam. Book is mandatory, but you can use different one.
Took Anatomy with Jace over the summer and had a great experience! Anatomy is a hard class regardless, so be prepared to study and put in some time/work. Jace is always available and willing to help, and is invested in his students doing well. Used the book for reference in lab but his tests are based on power points. Deducts points for missed labs
An AMAZING teacher! Anatomy is a hard subject in general, but he makes it fun and easy to learn. After exams and practicals he goes over your results and suggests new studying styles you can use and give you great feedback to succeed. Also, hes hilarious and you will not find a dull moment with him as your teacher.
Jace is awesome. He allows you to learn at your own pace during labs and makes himself available to answer any questions that may come up. It seems that a lot of students here complain about being "left alone" to do the labs but it is supposed to be this way.
Best professor I've ever had. Cares tremendously, makes great examples, and uses humor to keep students engaged. Down-to-earth and personable, will go to great extents to make sure you understand the material. His podcasts are a great study tool. I credit him for making me a better student.
Awesomeness on all levels. Take him but you have to study every day and make sure you don't miss a lab or lecture. He will give extra credits. He will do anything to make sure you are successful. I will take him again, and again, and again.
Jace was a great anatomy teacher during the summer. Half the class was online and his lectures were very specific. His lab was very independence-directed, but he came to help when you asked. He was good at keeping everyone's attention and making everyone laugh. I 100% recommend this instructor.
DON'T TAKE JACE!!!!!!!!!! he is a horrible teacher. He doesn't teach you anything during lab and makes you figure literally everything out for yourself. He gives you study guides and power points to study from but the exams are nothing from any of it! the exams are very hard and worded difficult.
Don't take him! Way overrated! Tests are hard. Lab tests are even harder. He is a tough grader. Even extra credit questions do not help. He is not accessible outside of class. Did not answer e-mails. He is not caring about your success at all. The lectures are fun but often nothing to do with tests. Too many tests and heavy grading criteria. DON'T
On the first day of class he had more than half the class stand up and told us that is how many people are going to fail and laughed. A teacher should not do that. His tests are worded very difficult. He took points off my lab practical because I wrote in cursive... You need to study A LOT for this class. Quizzes are online, easy points.
Jace is a great anatomy teacher, he understands the subject very well and will give you great examples to help you remember tough concepts. Labs are mostly independent, but he is easily accessible if you have questions. Make sure you listen to the podcasts he puts on blackboard they are helpful. You do not need the book, but it does come in handy.
I personally believe that the lecture exam tests are much more difficult than the lab practical. Even though they are difficult, I believe they're not impossible. I personally study for 2-3 hrs/day for 5 days M-F. Its important to go over each slide and then listen to the podcast. The lab exams are easy because Jace has a Quizlet. Great professor
I honestly thought he was a terrible teacher. His class is a self taught class which made no sense because the level of difficulty. He left about 3-5 times during lab and was gone for about 10 minuets or longer. DONT take his class!!! as you will most likely fail or have to withdraw from.
Many of the reviews here state that Jace is a "terrible" professor because of the way the class is taught. There are many resources available to help one succeed in the class such as the internet, book, and even Jace himself. Learn how to manage your time wisely, ask questions, and use your resources and this class will be a piece of cake.
Yes, this is a tough class but Jace makes it possible. You need to attend to succeed. He cares about your grade and is willing to work with you. There is so many resources he offers for you to succeed. He gives extra credit on the lectures and lab exams. He was an awesome professor. TAKE HIM. You need to put in the work to pass and Jace helps a ton
Great teacher. Lectures are clear and he is great at explaining complex material. Stops to answer questions during lecture if anyone is confused. Book is necessary for labs. PowerPoints are easy to follow.
Smart, knowledgeable, tough greader, lecture part is ok, teaches from his power point. Tests were confusing. A Lot of materials available for studying, which makes it even more confusing if first time taking BIO. In Lab, you're on your own.
Jace is a very nice, caring, likable guy who genuinely wants to see his students succeed and is really passionate about anatomy. His exams always contain multiple questions which are nowhere in his notes/lecture, which is extremely frustrating, but he does provide lots of chances for extra credit which makes it easy to get an A
In my opinion Jace is the best human anatomy teacher you can choose, he makes a very difficult class a little better. You will not pass the class if you do not put in the time and effort however Jace will be more than happy to help you with anything. He cares alot about his students and wants you to succeed. He gives E.C questions on every test
PT 1: Jace is a great prof. He makes lecture fun & if you don't understand something, ask him! He'll happily explain. Tests are difficult but doable w/ studying. 4 exams, 3 practicals + 2 mini ones, & 1 online quiz weekly - easy points. He puts podcasts of his lectures online & quizlets of the models/bones so you can study for the practicals.
Jace is an amazing professor. He cares about his students but with anatomy in general its up to you how well you do in class. Study before you even start this course. No study low test grades. He is very helpful, and tries to answer your question in any way posssible. He is the best.
I was so nervous to take this class. But Jace provided everyone with the tools needed to pass his class. He is so funny and makes lecture go by so fast. When it came to the cadavers, and yes these are real people! he explained every muscle, organ, and tissue in detail. Pointed everything out. Definetly the best teacher I ever had. 100% recommended.
This class is no doubt challenging, and unless you put fourth the effort, you will not pass. He made this clear the first day of class. He is an absolute amazing professor and person, and I would take ANY of his classes again. Lecture quizzes are hard, prepare yourself to know details. Would recommend him to anyone. Makes hard classes easier.
AMAZING TAKE HIM! So funny but also a great lecturer. He is available in his office hours and will help you if you need it. His exams are very fair and over the things you learn in class. He is terrible with emailing but he is an amazing professor. You will learn a ton. If you work hard, you will do great; memorization is a huge part so study a lot
amazing, best class I ever took!
Robinson is a fair professor. He lets you know what you need to know/expect. You cannot procrastinate in this class, or it will screw you over. Do NOT take this class if you havent learned effective study technique(s) to basically learn hundreds of terms within weeks at a time. You are graded solely on practicals, & exams. Cadavers are involved.
Jace is a good professor, make sure you study ALOT
Jace is hands down one of the best professors Ive had! Yes, this class is difficult and requires hours of studying upon studying, but Jace is always willing to help you understand it when you are stuck. Lectures, though not mandatory, are extremely informational and he makes them entertaining (believe me he knows this content is hard!!)
Jace is funny , approachable. cares about his students doing well. He has a way of explaining things that sticks, and he is patient and understanding if you don't understand something right away. That being said, he is pretty bad at responding to emails on time, so I would suggest going to office hours if you have specific questions .
Jace is an amazing professor. He genuinely cares and let's you know that and he will bend over backwards to help you. Not actually about the Prof, but about 161- study, study study. Be prepared for a lot of quizzes from him mostly due to the fact that in order to pass it is required that you memorize a hundred (not exaggerating) terms per week.
One must be very talented and committed to make science FUN! Yes, you will have to work hard for your A but you can do it. I came into this class with zero background in the subject. He offers lecture quizzes too (easy points). And he also get a chilly pepper from me ;)
Just Awesome! I was told not to take his class, but i had no choice. To my great surprise it happened to be my most fav class so far. Not only he is funny but also smart and helpful to make you understand crazy anatomy things in a way which will probably stick to you forever. His notes are perfect. hardly used the text book. Labquizlets are awesome
Jace is a down to earth,funny professor who to me, made anatomy interesting. I personally had to use the book, and other resources to get fully comfortable with the material to do well in his class. On the flipside, Anatomy is a difficult subject in general just because theres a lot if material but with genuine effort, I thought it was do-able.
Jace is a great instructor. Made us laugh everyday. Made lecture interesting. Fair grader. If you show up, pay attention, do the work and study you will do well in his class. He is always available to answer questions. Gives extra credit. You don't really need the lecture book but you need the lab manual. Great class Great teacher
Jace is an amazing teacher! Interesting, kind and funny. He knows the subject well and loves teaching it. This is a challenging class no doubt. You really have to commit to hours of studying each week to pass (I spent approx. 4 hrs/7 days) Jace provides everything you need to be successful as long as you do the work. So glad I took his class!
Jace was a real help with lab. He would take the time to answer questions and make sure you understood if you werent sure. He took the time to upload items pertaining to lab exams on quizlet for you so that you could study well for lab practicals. Take Jace!
If you need to take Bio 160, you should absolutely take it with Jace! His expectations were clear. The lecture exams are based directly off the lectures so there were no surprises. There's a public Quizlet for the lab practical. I appreciate that Jace never made me feel bad about asking a lot of question and was always good at explaining things.
Jace is the best Professor I've ever had. The class itself is super hard since its packed with material, but Jace makes it enjoyable. Lab attendance is mandatory, lecture is not. The textbook is not required, but it does help. The easiest way to pass is just to study and DON'T fall behind.
Bio 160 is not an easy class, but Jace made it enjoyable and provided the tools necessary to succeed. I took the blended class. Attendance for lab is mandatory and the lectures are online. You can tell Jace enjoys teaching this subject. He was always making me laugh with his quirky jokes. He WANTS you to ask questions, so ask! Take Jace for Bio 160
He is inspiring, funny, and has very unique way of teaching which helped me so much to understand these hard materials. By far, he is the best instructor I've ever had!!
Anatomy in itself is a difficult class, but he was always willing to help students and check for understanding. No extra credit, so be ready and study for exams!!
I took anatomy with a different professor the first time and found myself questioning if I could ever learn it. Took it with Jace and ended with an A. He teaches in away that just sticks, and makes everything interesting. He offers a lot of material to study so definitely use it. Really wish I wouldve taken anatomy with him the first time!
Didn't pass the class, not so much because he was a bad teacher but there is a lot of material to learn and memorize so you really really have to work hard and study a lot to pass this class. Lab attendance is mandatory and I would highly suggest to never skip a lecture but if you do, thankfully he has lecture podcasts on bb.
Anatomy is gonna be difficult just from the sheer volume of things you HAVE TO MEMORIZE. Jace is a great and entertaining lecturer and gives you PLENTY resources to use and study from. There are EC options, and weekly online quizzes (easy 75 points as long as you take the time to do them). Really pay attention and study his lectures for the exams!
I've attempted to take Robinson's class twice now. Each time I've had to drop it because it's clear he loves to give F's. I understand Anatomy is supposed to be study heavy but it just doesn't seem right that of 95 students, 45 of them got F's.. I know this because he post's exam statistics. It's clear that this course needs to be adjusted.
So far I'm at A and it's a middle of semester. He never answers on emails. During online class you have to study by yourself from different sources, no help from teacher. Questions on exams are different from material he gives. I study 4-5hrs per day and it's very hard to keep the grade. half of class failed. pick other teacher!
HE IS SUCH A GOOD ANATOMY PROF. He is there to help whenever you need it He is so smart
Very test heavy. Models on lab practical are different from models he gives you to prepare for exam. I learned everything and still barely got B. During exams questions are tough (his slides wont help you) Make sure you study extra extra time.
I studied 1.5hrs a day and took anatomy in H.S. This is a hard course no matter who's teaching it. Jace tries to help by having weekly optional meetings, and there were a few EC pts. Lectures are tough, and lab is all memorization. Most students failed the first 2 tests (45 out of 106 failed lecture exam 1 + 42 out of 95 failed lab practical 1).
For anyone complaining about Jace, good luck with the rest of your other classes. Anatomy will be a difficult class and you will have to put in the work for it. Jace is an amazing professor that wants to see you succeed. If you're having doubts, trust me and take this professor.
I have never taken a class that was so big on SPELLING!!! I do pretty good on the exam, but with the lab practicals if you misspell a letter its wrong. My grades are so low, because my spelling isnt the best and its frustrating when you know the answer and you misspell by one letter.
Anatomy is a hard class regardless of the teacher, you have to put in a lot of time to study and really pay attention to lectures and PowerPoints. Some of Jace's lectures were long but makes sense because of how much material we have to learn in small time. Hated that he wouldn't answer emails. Test difficulty depended on how much you studied.
Anatomylots of memorization. Prof Jace provides lots of options to help u with this, use them all & find what works for u. I took this class b4 & was not given as many helpful resources. Quizlet is very helpful w/Lab Exams & Kahoot is helpful w/Lecture. Put in the time, use what you are given & u will do well. Graded on Exam/quizzes.
This class isn't terrible. If you know that you studied everything from the lectures, then that getting an A on exams is definitely possible. As for lab practicals, highly recommend only studying his quizlets. I did take this course fully online, so keep that in mind for labs. Overall, just put in the effort and time and you'll be great overall.
don't even think about taking this class if you're lazy lol, you HAVE to put in the work or you WILL fail. I recommend watching his lecture podcasts, lab podcasts and study for the practicals using ONLY his quizlets, all the pictures on the quizlets are on the test. he's not the best at responding to emails so ask other classmates for help.
Lab practicals were based off the quizlet. The first one is the hardest, study hard for it Lecture exams were very hard. His lectures are very long and have nothing to do with the test. I tried emailing him, he never replied. He had optional meetings every other monday, He never posted them even though it is asynchronous. Good luck!
Put in the work and Prof Robinson will do everything he can to help you. Its a tough course in general, but study hard off his quizlets and the labs will be a breeze. The lecture for tests can be vague so make sure to take good notes. He makes class enjoyable and is very humorous. If you are nervous for anatomy, his class is the way to go!
The truth is, this is an extremely difficult class because it is mostly memorization due to the nature of the topic. Jace's lectures are interesting and he communicates the material clearly. He put in the work to help you pass (Quizlet, lecture podcasts, etc). It's up to you to put in the work to get an A. Stay on top of it and you will be fine.
This class It is a lot of memorization for the tests and labs. He give you many useful lectures & quizzes to really explore and learn the material. The book is also really good but I would just focus on the his lectures and the SG & for labs it is all on quizlet. Don't be lazy and STUDY for this class. It is the only way you will earn a A or B.
Anatomy, regardless of the professor, is very laborious as it relies on pure memorization. Jace makes you work for your grade so you definitely can't get by on skimming lectures & practical quizlets. Just study hard & try to attend labs (it helps tons + corny jokes). A bit slow at answering emails but clearly enjoys anatomy & wants you to succeed!
Professor is very understanding and professional. Just study hard and you will get along with him.
The class itself is pretty tough but great professor. Be prepared to carve at least 1 hour a day to do well in Anatomy. He is very caring and willing to help. However, he doesn't reply to his emails so if you have questions you have to ask in person.
Jace is super fun, laid back & hilarious. He explains the material in a way that just clicks. Anatomy is rigorous & requires HUGE commitment. His lecture exams are very thorough and practicals are big on spelling. He'll make you work for that grade but provides you all the tools for your success, so use them. Stay disciplined & you'll survive.
If you're taking his anatomy class as a blended class, make sure you listen to his lectures. The majority of stuff on his tests are covered in lecture. He's very funny and nice and is willing to answer any questions you may have for him. I wish he taught physiology so I could have him as a teacher again.
The class on its own is rigorous and lecture heavy. I chose a Jace for my second time taking it and I loved that his lectures are short and get straight to the point of what you need to know for the exam. He offers extra credit throughout the semester and provides tons of good review materials for lab and lecture exams. Use the quizlets!
TAKEEE HIM!!! He is always high energy and does a great job explaining if you need any help. He gives you quizlets to study and all the material you need for lab and lecture exams. He really makes everyone feel comfortable. I took it the second time around and was fully supportive to see success in every student.
Jace is by far one of the best professors I've ever had. He lectures in a way that allows you to really understand. He made anatomy so enjoyable and is one of the most knowledgable and helpful professors for a hard subject like this. He's insanely smart, well spoken, engaging, and hilarious. A great guy and great professor, I 100% recommend.
Jace is awesome!! I had him Fall 2023 and he really cared about what he was teaching. His lectures were really fun and he always had a story to tell that would relate to our topic. During lab, he would always answer questions clearly and would never hesitate to explain something again regardless of the reason. JACE4EVER!!!!!!!
he is so amazing, this is a hard class overall and you need to study, he is very clear and makes this very information packed class fun and always tries to help you understand if you ever have any questions.
The best professor! You can tell that he enjoys teaching anatomy and is very straight up about everything. Very chill and wants the best for you.
Anatomy is ext
Professor Jace makes the dense material engaging. Attend lectures, study with Unstuckstudy, and you'll excel in this challenging yet rewarding class. He's helpful, funny, and invested in student success.
I do not think I would enjoy a Gen-Ed as much as I did with Robinson. He's funny, makes Biology 101 engaging and fun to learn, and I was able to glide through the class with ease. He's also very knowledgeable (as a professor should be) and very helpful.
Great Professor! Highly recommended, especially if you really want to learn anatomy thoroughly; he is the one. He is very passionate about his teaching and very helpful. The lecture exams were not as bad either, as long as you prepared, which was pretty straightforward. Lab exams were the same way and much easier if you study.
Jace was a very good professor. Science is not my strong suit and I had a D+ the whole semester and came to Jace and talked to him and he offered me tutoring during his office hours. He does a thing where if you are .5 of the next grade he will round you up to next grade. (for me I was at a 69.5 and he rounded it up to a 70%).
Summer- lectures were online, practicals in person. Very time consuming and stressful (you have to learn over 300 terms every practical). You can do relatively alright on practicals if you do good on lectures and it'll get you a B. He's a cool guy just the class is hard in itself. Be prepared to get quizlet plus and study everyday for a month.
lecture online & lab in person, recommend this. funny and nice but doesn't teach unless cadavers. material is outdated & some things are wrong: ANATOMY ROOM! you won't pass if you don't make the time to study. i do love that he has xtra credit on lectures, practicals and another opportunity. the only reason you wont succeed is if you don't study!
This was a fast paced summer class but Mr. Robinson made it very easy for us to understand all the material. He is extremely funny and that made it easier with all the memorization needed. He is also very approachable and will explain to you in detail if needed. Attendance is mandatory. Do all your practice quizzes and Anatomy will be a breeze.
I took his Anatomy class in an 8 week summer semester and passed the class with a B (85%) on my first attempt. I believe his lecture style was really helpful along with the quizlets. I definitely recommend him!
Go to the lectures because he says whether that part is on the exam or not. If you don't go to the lecture, you'll miss that part. He explains things very well, and he even changes the way he explains something if the first way doesn't help. Lab practicals are easy, just have to really study. Same with the lectures, I recommend using flashcards.
Jace is an excellent professor and explains until you understand! if you struggle with anatomy, he is the best prof to teach. You have to attend lectures to understand the material (trust anatomy is not an easy subject). He gives lots of resources to study from.
Jace is the right professor to take for anatomy! He is very helpful and direct in his teachings while making it fun. He is quick to explain things, and makes this difficult class feel a little less hard. His study guides are truly a replica of what you can see on the test, and overall great guy. Take him if you can!
Really good professor, straightforward class. Fair amount of extra credit. Lecture tests contain only the things in the slides he gives. lab attendance is mandatory. very nice and helpful when asking questions. would definitely recommend over the other profs.
Great professor, really easy going. The lecture exams are literally the powerpoint slides he uses during the lectures. I didn't use anything else to study for them, but those slides. Labs are quiet and you can work how you want on your own. Super helpful if you need him. Offers a good extra credit at the end of the course. 10/10
