Some of the criticisms on here are unfair. Prof Robinson is challenging, entertaining, and you walk away from the class with a lot more useful knowledge than you came in with. YOU ACTUALLY LEARN (the purpose of college, right?). I made an A and so did people around me. He treats you like a college student. It's not hard if you study. He is great.

This professor's lectures are pretty interesting, but it is NOT a easy class. The test are hard and the notes that he gives you in lecture are not enough to pass his test. You have to read the book and study hard to make a good grade on the test. If you study hard then expect about a B or C, unless you are a psychology genius:)

I wish I could agree w/the last post. My opinion differs greatly. The power points are a summary of the chapter, sometimes exceedingly long, sometimes it skips nearly everything essential & has even been inaccurate a few times. In this entire class, one question has come from the power point. 1 month & counting for grades & rarely replies to emails

Professor Robinson is a very good professor. I liked the fact that he did not treat his students as if they were still in high school. He expects everyone to study to do well in the class. If you don't study, you don't do well, which is how it should be, in my opinion. Providing that you do study the material, easy A.

With every chapter, you have a pre-test, a powerpoint to watch of the lesson, 2-4 videos, an assignment, a post-test, and a quiz. There are 4 chapters due every week.

Professor Robinson has a unique teaching style that takes some adjusting, but his lectures are engaging and he knows the material well. Attending class and reading the textbook are key to doing well. Unstuck study was a lifesaver for quiz prep!

Many students in my online class complained about him however as long as you complete the assignments, it isn't hard to pass. Some students forget that with online classes you are responsible for the lecture PLUS the hours spent at home studying the material. He lets you know what he expects in papers.

Extremely boring lectures. Extremely hard tests. Boring and Unorganized lectures. He cannot teach. He expects you to read the textbook regularly, but this is an elective and no one has time for that. I got a B in this class and if u miss an assignment he won't open it up again. 1 extra credit assignment that was too long. Hard quizzes due weekly.

Cant really speak for others but personally after taking his class I realized I really do love psychology which is something I didn't expect. He has lectures packed with information yet he still pauses to give time to write. He engages very well with the class and the 90$ text book isn't too important, I got an A without it. There are 8 easy tests.

Unfortunately, you have to pay 100 bucks out of pocket for the textbook. Theres a ton of tedious assignments that can sometimes be 10 due on the same day. But honestly, it's not that hard at all and he's a pretty fair grader. However, the exams are super hard but luckily, they're not a huge portion of your grade. You have to be glued to the book.

Lots of homework
