Prof. Robinette is by no means an easy teacher, but is definately fair, willing to help, and extremely clear about the material covered in class and her expectations for the exams. Do NOT miss class and make sure to copy down all examples she does b/c they usually reappear on exams. With a little effort you should have no problem with this class.

She was an excellent teacher, she really helped me backtrack everything I missed in Pre-Calculus and Calc 1. Better prepared me for upper divison MATH courses. If your looking to learn the material from someone who challenges you but yet willing to help, SHE IS THE ONE!!!!

spring 2007...tests, exams, and hw.. just do the work.. very fair

She only gives 2 exams, and 1 final worth 100 pts each. If you mess up on one test you are struggling to pull your grade up. Never had enough time to complete exam! No curve, and has an unfriendly attitude about everything! The only good thing about her is she gives out a study guide. Would not recommend taking her, I was fooled by the other raters

She is fair, if you do the homework(all of it), ask questions when something is unclear, and stay on the ball, you can succeed. If math is not your world, if you usually need a tutor,if you have other classes that are difficult too...then you might want to consider not taking her. She is tuff and her outspokenness could be interpreted as rudeness

If you want a professor that is thoroughly organized, crystal clear, demanding but fair, and incredibly helpful, then Dr. Robinette is the one you want. She is the finest math professor I've ever had. You hear the "best ever" or "worst ever" labels thrown around a lot. She is the real deal. Go to class every day. Do the homework. She rules!

A complicated subject presented in a crystal clear format. She may seem mean in the classroom, but she tries to stick to the syllabus. If you need any help, she will gladly help you out during her office hours. Suck it up, do the work and you will be ok in this class. Eye candy anyone?

The teacher is extremly organized. she gives easy to follow in class notes. Her exams are exactly like her review exams. She gives 3 in class exams and 1 online and drops the lowest. She grades fair. She grades the answer as well as the process. I highly recommend her

Good teacher when lecturing. Gives you class notes each class and practice exams before each tests. Webassign is included with tests. The only way to get a good grade in class is to study and do the work. Enough said.

Knows her stuff, but is very strict and not very likable. 3 in class exams, and drops the lowest score. 5 online tests that count as one exam, and a final. Tests reflect the study guides almost exactly, but still very hard. Her grading is RIDICULOUS, takes points off for work even if you got the right answer. Definitely don't recommend.

Excellent professor... knows her stuff, but, questionable human being. Not very personable... she can be a bit harsh with you when you ask questions in class or when you go to office hours. But stick to it and you will get the answers you need. Youll struggle, its a hard class but DO THE HOMEWORK!!! and do the practice exams, you will be fine.

Tough class. You will need to practice, practice, practice. Do the online homework and textbook problems. Yes, she may come off as harsh or rude, but she is nice if she sees that you are trying hard. I got an A, but spent a lot of hours in the tutor center, 15+ per week. STUDY HER PRACTICE EXAMS WELL!!

She is unapproachable but an incredible professor. She will tell you exactly what you need to know for the tests. The practice tests are basically the tests but she will change a few questions every now and then. She is crystal clear and goes step by step. Im not that great at math and i got a B. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER OVER ANY OTHER CALC PROFESSOR.

She is a great professor! Her notes are printed fill-in notes so there is no reason not to take notes. Also, the notes are extremely helpful when studying for the test because she tells us what will be on the test. She gives a sample test that shows you what to study from the notes. Homework is not required, but it is better to do it than to slack.

If you have never taken calc. do not take her. She grades extreamly difficult. I never had as difficult of a time in any class and I am comparing this to OCHEM. if you have taken calc take her but dont expect an A you might get a B-. At this point I am ust hoping to get a C. I consider myself to be an excellent student as far as putting in effort.

She's a great teacher; if you really want to learn I would recommend taking her. It won't be easy though, she grades hard on the exams - I did all her homeworks (both online and off) and still got a B+. But she is very helpful and she generally cares about your progress if you are trying. Take her if you can!

Despite what some are saying getting A in her class is possible Not easy, but possible You have to understand the material and do all the homework Tough grader, but fair. 4 tests plus online test one lowest dropped online test easily over 90% the rest is up to you Tough on notation Good professor overall, crystal clear good, review of the tests.

Robinette is the best math teacher I've ever had. She explains everything perfectly clear and the tests are exactly like the practice exams she gives. Grading is very fair. She is an awesome teacher. I wish I could take her for every math class. AWESOME!

Michelle Robinette is one of the best math professors I have ever taken! She makes everything make sense. I wish she was teaching Calc 3 so I could take her again. She doesn't take any crap tho... she hates when students talk when she is. None of her homework is required but it is more than beneficial for you to do it. She is THE professor to take!

Dr. Robinette is a goddess to say the least. She is an amazing mathematician and offers great insight into the subject even for those who find it less than appealing. Her lectures were very structured and easy to follow with skeleton notes. Tough grader but you can learn exactly how she wants things by utilizing practice exams. Highly recommended!

Dr.Robinette is amazing. Took her for MATH 181, then again for MATH 182. She knows her stuff and explains things well. Has guided notes you can print. Never did homework and got an A-... in 181 she gives practice test (for the final also) and the real test are identical with different numbers. Best professor I've ever had.

She was a very helpful professor. Her notes are very clear when you go to class everyday. She gives practice exams before your actual exam and they are very similar. If you understand the concepts when you do the problem on the practice exam, you should do well on the tests and in the class overall.

Professor can be very rude when questions are asked...makes you very uncomfortable but is VERY good at teaching this subject. Had her for both 181 and 182. MUST go to class everyday and use her note sheets and it makes a world of difference. Makes VERY clear what the text fails to do and I actually felt like for once I understood every concept!

I was terrified of Calculus, it almost caused me to change my major. Going into her class with absolutely no Calc experience was the best thing I ever did. It's my favorite class now b/c Robinette gives you every tool you need to get a good grade and truly understand. She's one of the best teachers I've ever had. TAKE HER!

Excellent professor! The class started out difficult, but then she made things much easier after the drop date. She gave bonus point on exams for doing homework, and the final exam was made up of questions that were almost exactly like the exams in the semester. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The subject itself is very difficult. But Robinette does an excellent job at explaining the material. She helps you as much as anyone could. There are 3 exams - possible 10 EC points for each and 1 final. STUDY!

Professor Robinette is an awesome professor! She will help your understand Calc II. Be sure to do the online hw for extra credit. Always do the book homework because the test is similar to your homework problems and practice test.

Good class to take for calculus! Time allotted is 10-11:45 but we usually finish by 11:15. Your entire grade is tests (typical for calculus) but you can get 10 extra credit points per test if you complete the online homework. Optional textbook homework given that she uses for test problems, so pay attention to them! Overall very clear and helpful!

She is very good at explaining things and follows the syllabus perfectly. The class is fast-paced but you can ask questions in class and she will go over it. She goes over how to derive the formulas so that we know exactly why they work (which is handy in this subject), and she has a nice, quirky personality.

She is a very good teacher. Very systematic and she is a professor who actually follows the syllabus. Her explains concepts thoroughly and concisely that even those without a high school calculus background can easily grasp. Some reviews say she is condescending, but I object to that notion. She has improved in that aspect and is now more helpful!

The best math teacher at UNLV. Go to class, and complete the notes, they're really helpful and easy. She explains and clarifies calculus concepts extraordinarily well. Unfortunately she mainly teaches honor students. If you have the chance to be in her class, DO IT.

Dr. Robinette's explanations of concepts are crystal clear. The pace of the class is a little slow, you if you pay attention, you will definitely come out of the class having learned all of the material. She grades homework strictly, but it is only 20% of your grade. Her tests are fair and predictable.

Dr. Robinette is an amazing professor and explains Calculus in a very clear manner. She is one professor that is willing to help and provides ample opportunities for you to ask questions. The one problem is that your grade is based on four insanely hard tests, so if you mess up, that's it. She assigns homework problems, but doesn't collect them.

Wonderful teacher. She takes the time to make sure her students understand the lesson. Follows the syllabus exactly. I took her for HON 181 and HON 182 and she is by far the best math teacher at UNLV, but also the hardest. She wants her students to understand even the most difficult problems so she puts them on her exams. Super picky on exams.

Dr. Robinette is very easy to understand. Her tests are fair and very similar to the practice tests she posts on her website. She is by far the best math teacher at UNLV. Print out her notes before class and class usually ends 30 minutes early. If you get the chance, definitely take her.

She's easily the best math professor at UNLV. If you can, take her for 181, as every other professor will make you jump through hoops just to get a basic understanding of the material. She's clear and goes over everything you need to know in class and there's weekly homework.

Dr. Robinette is a great professor! She explains the content thoroughly and is always available a few minutes before class if you have any questions. She provides practice exams that resemble the actual exam. She is a tough grader so expect to do the problems her way. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I recommend going.

Loved Dr. Robinette, best math teacher I've had! It's math, expect tons of homework and if you don't do it, your grade is going to reflect it. She assigns the homework and writes her own exams, so you know exactly what to expect on tests. Also, she buckles down hard at the beginning but slows down at the end so you can devote time to other classes.

Dr. Robinette is amazing! She is clear in what she expects from her students. There is no reason to do bad in this class, A's and B's are very possible. She lays out exactly what will be on the exams, the notes are clear and organized, and she grades quickly. I definitely recommend taking her class!! She made calculus easy to understand :)

Dr. Robinette is a wonderful professor. Calculus is a very difficult subject, however she does a wonderful job teaching the content. The grading curve is also appealing, and your grade is based on only four exams. There's a lot to learn, however if you do the practice exams and the homework assignments you should do well.

Calculus 2 is difficult. Professor Robinette tries hard to give good notes and plenty of quizzes. The exams are difficult and you won't pass if you don't study or do practice problems. I'd recommend professor Robinette.

Took her for 126 last summer as well & she hasn't changed haha. Very clear at explaining concepts. So clear that you expect to do well on her exams? Think again! Study hard & do the hardest problems in the textbook along with assigned hw as practice for her exams! Got a C but know I could've done much better. Fellow engineering students, take her!!

She is very good at explaining tough concepts! The quizzes and exmpls were extremely easy and did not do much to prepare you for the tests. Prepare to put in a lot of extra effort and outside time. She is easily the best mathematics professor I have ever had! If you are looking for an easy A look elsewhere but if you want to actually learn take her

I've taken this class 3 times and passed w/ this prof. I'm not sure about some of these reviews because the tests were almost identical to the practice problems she gave out and there was at least 1 practice problem on each test. She is very thorough in her lectures and wants everyone to pass. She was very generous w/ grading. Would recommend!

Calculus is very difficult, but Mrs. Robinette is a wonderful professor. She is always available before class to help answer problems. I have learned so much in this course. I would recommend her to anyone.

She's great at lecturing, but it can be difficult to keep up. I recommend going to the math tutoring center and office hours after attempting to do the homework on your own (it's not graded). There are quizzes every week, which are very similar to the homework. Make sure you REALLY understand the material because the exams are extremely difficult.

Dr. Robinette was great. Took Calc 2 times before taking it with her and third time was a charm lol. Amazing lectures, always answered questions that anyone had, definitely made Calc easier for me. She is a tough grader though so study up well before quizzes and exams.

At first, she was quite intimidating. Her quizzes start off difficult, but as the semester progresses, you get used to her style. She's a generous and comical lady, who knows what she's talking about. I recommend doing all her homework and attending office hours for help. She's very generous with her grading, but be prepared for a quiz each class.

One of the greatest math professors, I highly recommend. The class consisted of exams, tests, and quizzes. It is all easy and doable AS LONG as you go to every lecture, take good notes, do all the assigned homework problems (not graded), and complete those problems over and over for studying. I was scared at first, but this was my favorite class!

I failed math all of my life until I took remedial math and then moved onto Dr. Robinettes class scared out of my mind that I might not pass. I was wrong. She made this class enjoyable and was clear about what types of problems the test would have. She is an incredible teacher with an amazing ability in explaining hard concepts.

Great math professor. PreCal generally is difficult but She makes it understandable. Book optional but can be a good resource for practice. She has notes that were a key help for me and were straight to the point. She has a manageable grading scale that will help the student. Prof Robinette cares for the student and shows it in her work.

I have never heard of limits or derivatives until I took this class over the summer. Dr. Robinette explains concepts really well. SHe gives you the tools to succeed. Its up to you to spend after-class hours to study and practice problems. She's a tough grader but you will learn what to expect. I passed Calc 1 with an A in 5 weeks

One of the best math teachers I've ever had at UNLV! The homework is optional, but I highly recommend practicing it, along with buying the solutions manual too, it was very helpful with walk throughs! Four exams and a cumulative final, along with 7/8 (1 dropped) quizzes held in each discussion session. Calculus isn't hard with Dr. Robinette!!

Robinette was a blessing in my math education. Not only can you understand every word she says, she has enough passion for the subject to connect her students to math in ways they have never experienced before. Excellent teacher. Caring person. Good sense of humor. Definitely would try to get her again.

Dr. Robinette is the best math professor at UNLV. Her lectures are clear, concise, and she makes Calculus enjoyable to learn. I'm only sad that I don't have her for Calc 2 this semester. Instead I have a horrible new professor and an even worse TA. It's sad that UNLV can't bring in more professors like Dr. Robinette. Do the homework&you're good.

So you know how freshman you had all these ideas of what college was going to be like and maybe you were excited going in? Then reality happens and you become somewhat jaded? Well not Dr. Robinette's class. She's probably one of the best math teachers at UNLV. Take her if you care about learning the material. You won't regret it.

Prof. Robinette is an amazing teacher. She asks the class if they understand concepts before moving on. She keeps the class on topic, not tolerating any distraction from students. If you're retaking calc, you need to be patient, or you'll have a bad time in her class. She is an equitable professor who wants everyone to learn.

Best math professor at UNLV. She really cares that you understand the material and will work really hard to stop and clarify a topic if she senses confusion. Take her if you can.

I've taken her for both Calc 1 & 2. She's the best math professor at UNLV. VERY organized, explains VERY well, takes questions, but she has tough tests. She will make you work for your grade and truly learn calculus. 4 tests, quizzes almost every class (takes 10 highest quizzes out of many). I'd take Robinette for every math class if I could.

Dr. Robinette is an absolutely amazing professor, and one of the best math (if not the best) math professor at UNLV. Her notes are amazingly structured and her lectures are clear. Not only that, but you can tell she truly loves math and passion for what she is teaching. BUT, her class does require studying! Stay on top of things and you'll be fine!

Dr. Robinette is the best math professor I've ever had! She is very nice, clear about her expectations, and provides many opportunities to get extra credit for tests and quizzes. I had her for calc 2 and 3, and she is the sole reason I've done well. She might be a stickler for notation, but she is any easy grader as long as you have something down.

Professor Robinette is the best math teacher I have ever had. Shes easy to understand and talk to. Shes very approachable, and she cares about her students doing well. She does give out a lot of pop quizzes, but she only takes the top 10 highest of them all throughout the semester so its extremely helpful. Her tests are very similar to homework.

Shes lovely, would definitely take her again. I was really scared of Calculus but she made it seem very easy as she shows how the problems should be done step by steps. She is caring and wants her students to do great in every exam. The pop quizzes are the best thing since they are opportunities to bring your grades up. Dont think twice, take her

Dr. Robinette was amazing. This was the first time she taught Calc 3 in 19 years and it was great. Obviously the topics can be difficult but she has clear notes, and answers any questions during and after class. No review sheets for tests, but there are weekly review sheets for the chapters covered. Would definitely recommend.

Dr. Robinette is one of the best professors at UNLV. I really hated math at the beginning, but she managed to make me want to learn. Her lectures are incredibly well structured and easy to understand. Even though the HW is not collected for grades, make sure you practice the problems. Class material requires that you dedicate out-of class time.

Dr. Robinette's class was not a breeze but I thoroughly enjoyed it. She is interested in her student's success. She was at times a harsh grader. I spent a lot of time in her class and only received a B. On the flip side, I learned a lot and I would recommend that any student interested in learning Mathematics should take her. Overall, great teacher

Dr. Robinette is a gem and helped me gain my confidence back after having to drop this class in the past. Calc 2 is difficult because you must know everything from every math class you learned ever, and she goes over techniques you learned years ago that you need now. Daily quizzes, weekly exams, and undivided attention during office hours.

Dr. Robinette is a great math professor! There are 4 exams and 12 weekly quizzes, but she only takes the top 10 quizzes. She really works to make sure her students understand the material and I recommend going to the office hours. She is a very tough grader. Because she gives partial credit, she will mark you off for little mistakes.

Best math teacher I've had hands down. I took Dr Robinette in the summer for Calc 1. She would post videos of her lecture and her working out similar problems that would be on the quizzes and exams. There was 12 quizzes and 3 exams and she dropped the lowest 2 quiz scores which was super helpful. I think she also curved at the end. Take her !

I had Dr. Robinette for Calc 1 and Calc 2, she was a fantastic teacher. Do not get confused with these words, she is a tough grader! With that, she makes excellent videos for you to view on your own time. Class hours are for going over problems. I would recommend this course to someone who wants to learn math, not to someone looking for an easy A.

She grades us on notes, homework, and if we watched video lectures. If time has passed after these assignments have been graded, you won't get any of those points back. She's a tough grader - I've gotten so many points marked off on the smallest details, so you have to be very exact. She does grade less harsh towards the end.

Professor Robinette has lectures posted as a part of her learning curriculum, she is very clear in her teaching. had her for both calc I and calc II. If you put in work and practice, you will pass. Since she has everything recorded already, you can look at previous videos for reference. Good respectable Professor.

Calc I is definitely more difficult than calc II. Having no calculus exposure prior to taking Professor Robinette's class, I believe she did a really good job building my calculus foundation. This class is very information dense. Her prerecorded lectures are very thorough and can be viewed multiple times. Also very accessible and helpful if asked.

She has video lectures posted within Canvas that you can access anytime during each module. She also provides skeleton notes that you go through in class or with the video lectures, which are allowed to be used during tests (even the final). HW isn't graded (at least for in-person class) but is highly encouraged to do as practice.

She does everything by the textbook to keep the homework/tests standard. Her lecture notes mirror the book and you can use it for the tests. She is nitpicky about the steps when solving, but it is meant to be efficient & short. I supplemented her lectures with Professor Leonard's (YouTube) and I got an A on every test. Just study her hw problems.

Very good if you want to learn she is a very good option but be prepared to suffer. Her explanations are clear and consistent with the book. The homework is relatively little, being only about 4 to 6 problems per week. You should be afraid of their exams. It places a lot of value on the correct way to use symbols so be careful with crossing stuff.

If you have the opportunity to take Prof. Robinette, DO IT! She creates her notes and goes over them in a very clear and cohesive way. She provides the skeleton notes, notes from lectures, and video lectures. It is very clear that she cares about her students and supports us. She has amazing teaching and explanation skills that are easy to grasp.

While I had already taken several Calculus courses in the past, Dr. Robinette made the lectures and discussion very helpful and full of new knowledge. Would definitely recommend having Dr. Robinette as a professor if you have the choice. Teaches clearly, helpful, explains different approaches to the same problem. 10/10.

Grades in this course were only based on exams, though she gave extra credit towards the end. Dr. Robinette has a clear passion for calculus and her lectures made it easy to understand the material for her exams (also saying this as someone who has never took calculus in high school)!

Dr. Robinette is an excellent professor. She does an excellent job teaching very difficult material, and never makes anyone feel bad for simple questions, (we all have those days). As long as you attend lecture, do your homework, and study as needed you will be just fine. Anyone saying anything negative about her is out of their mind.

She is great at explaining the material and understands that Calc II is a hard course. She provides time to ask questions. HW is just from textbook usually about 10 questions from each section. Tests were manageable but also a little tough on being specifically what she asked for on a test. Overall I enjoyed this professor.

shes a great teacher and probably the most understanding teacher youll get for calc II. attending class everyday is a great advantage and she might throw you some extra points for participation. js wish it wasn't an 8am
