Gives lots of supplementals to ensure you have all the tools to succeed. He is passionate about education and his teaching style is very cooperative and hands on.
Dr. DeFinis was very clear in everything that he expected from his students and very passionate about what he does. The first night of class i was a little intimidated but as long as you do the assignments and show up for discussion you will soar through the class. Definitely one of my favorite teachers and classes of all I have taken.
The class was very informational. He had great insight on pressing topics.
Dr. Difinis is a good teacher. He teaches well.
Easy class, take home tests, not to much homework
Rob DeFinis was an amazing teacher this semester. I went into this class knowing nothing about sociology and coming out with a different view on life and the people around me. I had a good time taking his class and would enjoy taking more classes with him as a teacher.
Dr DeFinis was very clear cut about his expectations for his class, he helped us every step of the way.
Dr. DeFinis was a great teacher who guided students along the right path without any frustrating hand holding, but also without leaving anyone in the dark. The only quarrel I had with his class was the book and online course we had to utilize.

I would look forward to any class that he taught.
Came in expecting nothing just another boring psychology class, walked out more knowledgeable about a variety of Organizational Psychology than I anticipated.
You'll never be bored in any of the classes he teaches. You'll also gain personal self worth by taking his classes and you'll have more of an open mind towards a lot of topics you didn't think about. I would also recommend showing up to class, it's well worth it!
I was very much interested in the course material. It gave me a better insight to my communications, behaviors, self awareness, etc. I like the professor and would take another of his classes. He does not give you 20 hours of homework just because that is what they are supposed to do. He wants you to learn and understand the course material.
Great class, great teacher, very informative, very helpful,
Awesome teacher, you can learn a lot from this guy. Listen to what he has to say, use the tools he provides you with and you will be fine.
Was one of my favorite class this semester, he went into depth in the lectures using real world events to relate to what we were learning. Something that i found really beneficial
I learned so much in this class. I learned about ethical theories, and I also learned about myself to make myself a better person. I now look outside the box and not be blindsided by what I am for. To see if there really is an ethical dilemma and how to take it head-on. I learned to have the best option a compromise and to have the worst option.
During this course I learned a lot. Dr. DeFinis is a great teacher, making sure we understood the material, yet stressing the point that it is up to the students to do the work to gain more knowledge. I enjoyed the discussions we had in the class. His drive to get students out of their shell and to get involved was refreshing.
Dr DeFinis took time to explain, enlighten and inspired me to look at the course material and apply it to my own life. He was well versed in his knowledge and his way of sharing that with the class was well received. The only think I would have asked is that he could have used a softer spoken voice, he is loud. :)
Dr. DeFinis is one of the most genuine people you will ever met. He truly does what he does for students because he cares about our futures, and hopes to supply us with the tools we need to succeed in our careers and life in general. Love his topics and the way he gets you to think and get involved.
Dr. Definis was patient but fair. You had to earn your grades but if you showed him you were willing to do the work he cut you a break . I really enjoyed his class and listening to his lectures I hope in the future to be able to have another class with him.
Thorough explanations. Interactive. Enjoyed Class;
Dr. definis is a fair teacher.. though grader though
The assignments are tough, but very helpful and useful for any career field.
I think he was a good teacher, and he sparked a lot of class discussion. It helped me clarify my understanding being able to talk about the concepts we were learning about at great length.
I took so much from this class. Going into this I thought I knew it all already but, in all reality there was much I've gained. I gained confidence, self motivation and I'm now more aware of my personally blind spots. I look forward to applying everything in my journey.
He was a great teacher
As my first class it was a great introduction to LSB. DR. Definis made me think a lot about where I want to take my career, and how to move forward with my education.
Amazing teaching
Dr. DeFinis was very interesting and will influence my attitude at work.
I was a bit intimidated by Dr Definis at first but after the second class with him I've learned that he genuinely wants you to learn from his class.. Not only that but he will go through different lengths to help each student understand what he is teaching.. After this class he has made it into my list of favorite teachers! Awesome all around guy..
His lectures are great and super interesting! Very clear on his expectations. I like that the tests are take home so you can really take your time on them. I would take one of his classes again!
I absolutely loved this class. I went from being a shy person who didn't want to participate to someone who loved being involved and coming up with different theories. It was absolutely awesome!
He made the glass more enjoyable and easy to relate to with his stories.
Very exciting class. I wish i had attended more often. Doesnt read out the book, he only uses for our reference.
Great clarifier when it comes to home work and assignments. Clear and cut with him. No bull.
He is a great teacher. I've learned a lot from him
This was a great class! i really enjoyed everything about it.
I feel I will take a lot from the class. I learned I will not try to put my opinions in the ethical dilemmas and take in considerations of other stakeholders. I believe i can use this in my work field.
I enjoyed the class
This class will benefit you for the rest of your life.
He is a brilliant teacher and a great speaker. Dr. DeFinis really knows how to connect with students. I even get nervous if I'm falling behind because I would not want to disappoint this man. I have so much respect for the way he runs his classes. Also, I like that he expects students to act professional.
I thought Dr. DeFinis was a great educator, if you pay attention and do the assigned work you will be likely to succeed.
I enjoyed the class very much but that may be me. As an adult student with many life's trials and situations, I am loving the learning and interaction with other students and adults. The class gives you lots to think about, yourself and the situations life hands you. It is also a I opener as to how other people react or may handle a dilemma. A+
Lectured material during class was open to question and discussion. Despite having dodgy attendance, he worked with me and outlined what I needed to do to pass.
great class
He was great. The course was more eye opening than I had expected and the Prof. delivered it in such a way that it made you think critically about yourself.
gives great on the spot feedback that you can use either in your current position or growing career. everything you will learn in the class you can use in the real world.
Mr. Definis is a great teacher who really enjoys going overboard with the classes he teaches. He really enjoys group projects and getting people to participate in class by playing the devil's advocate.
I enjoyed the class very much. Great real life examples
This class was very informative. It was a group effort on a lot of classwork,but it helped build relationships and show how to interact with others.
I really enjoyed working with dr. defines. he takes pride in his work and it shows in how he teaches his classes. He wants everyone to succeed and I like the fact that makes sure everyone is on the same page before moving on.
Dr. Definis so far has been the most inspirational teacher I have had. He is very powerful with his words and how he gets through to his students. I am taking a lot a growth and knowledge away from this course and appreciate the opportunity to have met him.
I was very glad that he was understanding with a seasoned student
This was an excellent class that provided us with a great look at work life balance. The course work was excellent and engaging.
This was a great class. You learn a lot of information that normally you wouldn't take that much time explore on your own. But it is a class that you can apply to your life.
Dr. DeFinis was a great teacher. His classes were interesting and challenged you to look more in depth at yourself, how you are perceived by others, and how you interact with people.
I liked how Dr. Definis showed both sides of an issue.
This professor is a very good teacher. The first time I had him I did not think so, but after having him for several classes I really enjoy being in his classes.
Very interesting topics
really get good knowledge from class. Very well at what he does... Teaching.
This professor is a very good teacher. The first time I had him I did not think so, but after having him for several classes I really enjoy being in his classes. I enjoy having him as a teacher
Challenging but in a way that you want to be challenged
I would have liked to participate in a variety of micro-lectures instead of the same format each time. Variety is the spice of life , right?
Participation and showing up is key to pass this class
