The marking done for the midterm was very questionable as with the final exam (not very timely getting the grades I might add.) The only thing available was a "running weighted total" and the final exam marks weren't even posted in an attempt to hide the seedy methods of grading! AVOID THIS PROF!

Took BSEN with Rob and it ruined my standards for other profs. He makes the lectures so interesting that for a pretty dry topic you still look forward to the next. Studying for his class is definitely more about understanding than memorizing but go to class and that's not an issue. Honestly don't have enough good things to say about Rob.

Why can't he teach all classes? Rob is absolutely amazing, treats you like he would his own two sons, takes the time to know you as a person. Lectures are amazing, and I was sometimes even sad when they ended because they were so fun. His examples are what make you remember the concepts. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about him.
