He was a very enjoyable prof to have.In the hour that we had the lab, he helped to make a weeks worth of calculas notes easier to understand. Good sense of humour, very fair. On the final, he let us omit one question as well as him taking away the one with the lowest mark. great prof.

Great professor, goes through lots of examples and gives lots of hints as to what will be on exams. He marks fairly slowly but that's mostly because he searches for part marks to give to students. He also raised anybody's 1st midterm mark if they did way better on the 2nd. He just replaces your 1st mark w the 2nd if you did 2x better!

Would take again

I took a hybrid class, would not recommend it to students. Robert is a very good professor and very passionate about mathematics. His online videos are very helpful; however, Roberts not an accessible professor. I sent numerous emails asking questions and received one reply. He takes A LONG TIME to mark exams, and only uploads your final grade.
