Professor Furrow give you really easy homework, the module is very well organize. he responds really quick to any question. Definitely I will take his classes.
As I made the professor know , hes an awesome professor and dedicated time for others not to pass the class but to succeed in life. Definitely the type of professional that should work in the field of education. Would totally recommend him as a professor. Great ful for being his student
He is and amazing professor he is there whenever you need questions answered he cares about his students and their grades he explains everything to the best of his ability and he makes sure you understand what it is he has assigned or what he is explaining.
- His form of participation comes through doing extra credit or asking questions during class. - Doesn't require you to stay the entire class time, but you should most times since he offers good advice regarding career and college. - Responsive - Does not overload you with homework.
Professor Furrow clearly understand that this course is meant to help students find their footing in college and does just that. He gives you the opportunity to ask questions and contact him if you need help regarding anything academically related. The assignments are straightforward and extra credit is offered. I recommend you take this class.
Amazing and helpful professor. It can be hard if you don't know what you want to major in yet (because you will have to decide). He gives a lot of extra credit also.
Really sweet guy, he responds to emails fairly fast, gives great feedback, wants you to ask questions, and likes to include everyone in discussion.
Professor Furrow is very helpful especially if you are not sure what you want to do in the future.
I would only take this professor again, if I had to take another sls class because he gives many extra credit opportunities. The extra credit he provides every Friday at 4pm-5pm is literally just dropping in on zoom and asking him a question then you get 10pts after screenshot submission. Hes a little bland but he really passionate and caring
you have a textbook for this class but you don't really need them because they're not used often. there are a lot of extra credit opportunities so if you fail one thing you can still get an A at the end of the semester. also, he is a really nice teacher and he is very helpful when you ask him for help.
professor furrow was a great professor for this course. he gave a bunch of extra credit opportunities and no tests.
Best class and professor especially for first college course. Professor is understanding and encourages questions.
Great professor, very helpful
This class is really easy. The only thing that I would say is hard is thinking about what career Field you want and what's your plan to get to the career field.
Overall, this class was very easy. You have about one or two assignments a week and his teaching was almost always lecture-based.
Pretty chill class, would choose him as a professor again.
Professor Furrow, was very kind and gave great feedback. You just have to do your work and really care about what you are doing for it to really count.
Overall a pretty chill and simple class. The work isn't too difficult and you're able to easily communicate with the professor if there are any concerns. The lectures can get pretty verbal heavy and slightly monotoned with not many visuals. However, there are some activities done in class occasionally which makes it interactive as well.
Great Professor I recommend you take his class.
really cares about his students and tries to make the course applicable to real life.
Overall, the class was quite simple; however, unless you skip a few assignments, it is definitely a simple A. His lectures are often brief and basic, and they provide an overview of the lesson. I would strongly advise!
He is a great professor, as long as you stay on top of your assignments you shouldn't have a hard time passing.
this class was super easy and very fun! the assignments are usually discussion posts or an assignment and it's only 1-2 a week. professor furrow offers extra credit for his office hours and gave a lot of good advice for your future. he obviously cares a lot about his students. i recommend his class!!
Professor Furrow sparks very interesting conversation amongst the class and it makes you really think about how your future will play out and how to reach a point of success you hope to reach.
He is a good professor the homework's are easy i recommend this class
10/10 Would take this class again!
Mr. Furrow is a great teacher. I took a mixed class (online and in-person) and it was handled well. He is nice, chill and his lectures are engaging. He responds to messages quickly. The grading is pretty easy and clear. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone. It's also worth noting that there are easy extra-credit assignments.
Professor Furrow is a very friendly and intellectual professor he provides extra credit assignments which boost your grade but don't try to skip assignments because the due date is limited always do your assignments for a better grade assignments in general are easy and it was a really fun journey hope to take a class again with Professor Furrow
He is easy on grading if you just do the assignments. Awesome professor, you can tell he loves to be there.
Professor Furrow is always courteous, patient, and helpful, and genuinely concerned about your career and pupils! I always look forward to having you as a professor, and I like how personable he is. My gratitude to you for all you have done, which I will never forget. I truly appreciate you and your time you spent helping me in many occasions.
Professor Furrow is a great teacher, i definitely recommend you taking this class with Professor Furrow
Professor Furrow was a very good teacher! He is very understanding and actually helps you with the trajectory of your college experience, You learn valuable things. take him
Great professor I definitely recommend him
This class helps with reflecting on what you want your major and career to be. This class was mixed mode with 1 in person class per week. Professor Furrow is a good speaker but the class can get boring being that he doesn't use the board to write or project slides, which would help with our attention span and make his lectures more interesting.
Very helpful and kind professor. Has weekly zooms to answer questions and gives extra points for attending. Not that many assignments throughout the class, so you really need to make sure you complete the assignments on time. The assignments are pretty easy though. I thought the final project was pretty fun.
Prof is very nice and involved with students. Assignments and projects are graded very fair and are not difficult to do!
Great class, teaches students about college and also helps to prepare them.
I like Professor Furrow because his class is very concise and easy to follow. He provides excellent feedback, is quick to grade your work unlike a lot of other professors, and he also offers extra credit. I also like that the class helps you find all of your college resources.
Professor Furrow has to be one of the nicest professors I have met. His class is easy and educational. I genuinely enjoyed his class and being taught by him. I would 100% take his class again.
The professor is always there to help students and is able to answer their questions as best as he can. He has extra credit zoom calls every Friday which you can join and gain free points from. The assignments themselves are not hard to answer since a lot of them are about you. The final exam is a presentation, but he guides us to succeed in it.
He is pretty cool and easy
Professor Furrow is organized and attentive. Instructional material is presented in a clear and concise way and so the assignments . Feedback is encouraging. Works are graded in a timely manner. E-mails are replied within few minutes; weekly meetings are set to attend student's concerns and questions. I would take again and recommend him.
Robert Furrow is a good teacher who is willing to help guide if needed. Very easy to communicate with.
The teaching style is very useful and he is clearly able to convey the principles and goals that he wants to get across.
Professor Furrow was amazing. Everything about the class was really easy and he made everything extremely easy to understand. He truly cares about the future of his students.
He's really chill, only wants you to be at least a little bit invested in the work he assigns. He's also really respectful and hasn't made me or anyone else feel odd about asking questions. Lets you out early a lot of times with the intention of you working on assignments on campus. Literally just get the work done, it's an easy A.
I would strongly recommend this class because the professor was amazing. The professor's teaching style is very nice and interesting since he always explains everything and asks if anybody needs help. The assignments are understandable and not hard. If you get your work done, you will have an A for the course.
Professor Furrow is one of the best professors that I've had and I would definitely recommend him for others. It's pretty easy to stay on top of the class, the assignments aren't hard to understand and are fairly easy and there are extra credit opportunities every week so if you just show up and do the work, you will be successful in this course.
There is extra credit every week. I take this class online so every Friday there will be one or two assignments at the most one of them being a discussion. The textbook for the class is only 20 dollars and all the assignments and modules you do in the class are beneficial to your career and educational planning. Choose this professor!
Amazing Professor, very nice and understanding. About 2 assignments weekly, pretty easy and shouldn't take much time to complete. Extra credit zoom calls weekly. Missing class does affect your grade slightly. I would 100% take this professor again, easy A if you show up and do the work.
I took New Student Experience with Professor Furrow. He is a very encouraging professor which is helpful for a class that you take so you can properly prepare for your college career. He gave good options for help around campus and online.
AMAZING CLASS AND PROFESSOR HE HELPED ME PICK MY ACADEMIC CLASSES TO KEEP ME ON THE RIGHT TRACK. SO KIND
Simply amazing! Not only has he answered all questions I had whenever I reached out, but has also reached out to me to see how everything was coming along and if there was anything that he could do to help.
The professor is good at explaining the information that is needed but can tend to go off into a story relating to what he is talking about. Some people might like the story telling but I felt it happened slightly more often than I would have liked.
The professor is very good at talking about the information, but I feel like he can break off into a story somewhat more than what I think is perfect.
Professor teaches and talks very clearly, homework is assigned often but very easy and takes little time to complete, will answer almost any question you ask him which is very helpful. The overall class is extremely easy and a nice environment.
He's available to help and always replies,Work is not hard at all.
Professor Furrow is a great professor. He is the perfect guy for the New Student Experience class. He is very help full and his lectures are very entertaining.
I genuinely really loved Professor Furrow, he definitely knows how to communicate with a class and with his students he is a very reasonable and likable person!
Honestly, this is one of the best courses I have taken so far. It is easy with tons of extra credit opportunities. You will be fine if you do the two assignments a week. Great professor!
100 percent would take him again! Great professor all around !
Wonderful professor overall. He's always available to talk to about the course and is just really willing to work with you. He also offers every week easy extra credit by joining a quick zoom and asking any questions that you may have. The work is easy to keep on top of and easy to complete. You should be able to get great grade in the class.
Amazing professor, he really cares about his students. Assignments aren't hard, the final is about your future career and is a presentation. He makes the classroom feel very welcoming so don't be nervous, you'll do great! About 2 assignments weekly. Attendance counts as a grade. Extra credit zoom calls weekly, do them all and they really help!
His class is super easy. He does have about 2 assignments per week with extra credit available every week. The assignments are long and detailed, but they do help you future-wise, they're just really time-consuming. He answers questions on the extra credit zooms that really help. EVERY SINGLE assignment is clear, and not confusing at all.
The class is really easy, you have to do two assignments per week in average, but this are explained in class and also have detailed instructions in Canvas, plus there is extra credit every week, would recommend this class.
Great professor
This teacher shows that he really cares about his students passing, not only that if he sees a student failing he will try to get them back up to good standing in their grade and help students succeed in his class
The professor explains the course material in a very complete and informative way.
Professor Furrow gives about 1 assignment per week and they are not long at all. He gives great feedback and is not a harsh grader. He also gives extra credit opportunities every single week which is helpful. Easy and helpful class!
This professor is very inspirational. He explains everything really well. This is an easy class if you do all of your assignments on time you will be good.
I absolutely recommend Professor Furrow. He offers help with any questions you have; if you ask him during the allotted hours on Friday, he will give you extra credit. He gives interesting lectures and enjoys student input. Overall, I came away with a better understanding of what to expect while attending Valencia.
Professor Furrow is THE BEST professor I have taken! He gives good feedback and has an extra credit opportunity every week. I could plan out my entire AA with the classes I was taking and my future classes. You have to join a Zoom meeting and ask him a question for the extra credit. Then you screenshot it and post the question asked and screenshot.
This professor is amazing! I took his class as my first college class and he is helpful and understanding. For every module, he offers 10 extra credit points, simply join his zoom meeting, ask a question or have a discussion, screenshot, and submit! He genuinely tries to help you with any confusion, take his class if you want an easy A
This Professor is amazing!
He is a good Professor, but I recommend to take this course online.
He is pretty chill and understanding. He does not take points off for late assignments. It would be hard to fail this class in my opinion.
He has a great teaching style and helps you along the way throughout the year. Also, joining that calls each Friday helps a lot.
Professor Furrow's NSE class is a great "intro to college" kinda course and is great for familiarizing students of any age with Valencia College. Some aspects of the course can seem a bit silly, but just do it. As a prior cop and longtime Valencia alumni, Professor Furrow has plenty of insight into all things education. Great Class.
For people who really need help figuring things out and wanting a more personal and hands on approach to the campus and its resources this class is for you. The professor gave extra credit and that alone could raise your grade a whole letter. If you have any questions about anything or need help with job or academics he is more then happy to help.
Prof. Furrow is great, he explains assignments thoroughly and gives the week to work on it, he is always there to answer questions. He calls on Fridays, that give extra credit for asking questions. He understands attendance issues, just let him know why you can't make it before class. This class helps you understand more about campus, and college.
This class is great! Many people hate New Student Experience, but this class was fun because of the amount of stuff that is useful to your career and education journey. There are many great people and it is a chill, short class that is taught by a very knowledgeable professor. He can help you with any career pathway you choose and is very laid back
Prof Furrow is great. There are periods of weeks where the grades received are mostly for attendance and discussions, so don't miss that one assignment that's worth 100 points like I did (honestly my fault there) as it will drop your grade significantly, by multiple letter grades. The class is honestly very easy & Prof Furrow is a great educator :)
This class was pretty helpful AND VERY EASY. Professor Furrow always has extra credit zoom calls which he communicates with students. The course work consist of discussions in which you interact with classmates. There are no quiz's or midterms. Overall take this class it's extremely easy
You don't really need to buy the textbook.
Professor Furrow is a great teacher who cares about his students. He's gives great advice and feedback. Participation matters, there's weekly assignments & extra credit Zoom meetings. If you show up to class and do the assignments, you'll get an A in his class. The semester is almost over and grades are not in but I'm on tract to getting an A.
I thoroughly enjoyed the class. About two assignments a week, typically a discussion and separate assignment. Lots of extra credit opportunities.
good easy professor. Very nice and loves helping students
Professor Furrow makes SLS super easy, he is always giving feedback for assignments and always open for communication. There are weekly assignments but they are easy enough for you to get done way before the due date. Some assignments can be time consuming but are never difficult. This class is made for your success in collage and onwards.
Super easy with tons of extra credit opportunities.
This class is easy, if you can take it online. Do it
Great Professor overall, i took the class in the morning and it helped a lot having a more relaxing class first thing in the morning. Assignments are easy as well. Really good at explaining stuff IF you just ask the question. The professor gives a lot of leeway so highly recommend taking this course with Professor Furrow.
Pretty simple and easy, and nothing is graded too heavily so it should be an overall nice class.
Very inspirational and easy going professor. I genuinely enjoy showing up to class to hear the lectures. I recommend taking this course in person instead of online so you can interact with your peers and it makes the experience a whole lot better. Favorite class this semester!
Take this professor, he makes the content understandable to pass with a good grade.
He is very approachable, understanding, and helpful. Throughout the term I have had issues on my own and Professor Furrow was understanding and was able to help me.
The class itself was pretty self-explanatory on its own but the professor is pretty good at sending reminders for anything going on. Make sure to listen to the lectures and participate or else it'll just last longer and no one will learn anything. It's totally okay to ask questions outside of class so make sure to do so if you need to.
The class isn't hard at all. Professor Furrow is very kind and cares about his students, especially when passing the course. You get a grade on attendance which isn't anything major just show up to class and you will be fine. He also offers extra credit Zoom every Friday to help boost your grade. The class is basically an easy A.
Very patient helpful and understanding. Truly care about your education and always want to help you
Overall, he was a good professor for a easy class.
Absolutely phenomenal teacher who gives extra credit every week and who really cares about his students.
Prof Furrow is a great professor and honestly cares about his students. He makes the class very interactive and also gives out an option for extra credit every week! I would highly recommend him to anyone who has to take this class!
So far, this class has been pretty laid back, especially with Robert Furrow who makes everything clear & accessible while helping you succeed. You basically learn about Valencia & college in general like managing your finances & understanding your strengths. Expect a few easy presentations & for the txtbk, you don't need it, just the access code!
He is an outstanding professor, I would totally recommend taking a class with him, very friendly and understandable!!!
This course has shown me the many resources available for us, students. One thing about this course that I really liked was how helpful Professor Furrow was. He was always willing to explain things over and even just talked with us about any concerns related to school we had influencing your college journey positively.
SLS is a mandatory class but the professor you pick is your choice this is the best professor for the job.
I like Professor Robert Furrow but the class could have been better if we could have something to make the class a bit lively.
He's a really good professor. Explains everything in full, always helpful. Real cool guy with a good heart for his students. I would def recommend taking him.
Great class
Easy class, great professor! Doesn't ask too much of you, just make sure that you do all of the assignments. I never spent more than 2 hours each week on this class but he definitely made you aware of what your time at Valencia will require. Offers a ton of extra credit, too. Just put in the effort and you will love it.
Great teacher
Robert Furrow was an excellent professor. Assignments were straightforward, some required more attention to detail than others but were easy. Attendance was required but missing class here or there won't cause a significant decline in your grade. Even if you missed an assignment Extra credit was offered every week on Zoom. Would totally recommend.
Very chill, just get the work done it isn't hard.
Loved this class
He is an awesome professor, super nice, and really great at explaining the material. I 100% recommend this professor.
Super in depth. You can ask him questions about pretty much anything related to the college.
Professor Furrow was an amazing professor. He helped his students navigate through their first-year college experience through his lectures and assignments. His assignments were fairly easy and it's so easy to pass the class.
Professor gives good lectures that all are mandatory and related to the weekly assignments. Professor allows a lot of opportunity for points.
I had the pleasure of being a student in Mr. Furrow's class, and I must say it was an exceptional educational experience. Mr. Furrow's not only possesses a deep understanding of the subject matter but also has a rare talent for making complex concepts accessible and engaging.
Very easy and fun class, assignments are very helpful and don't take too long to complete. Extra credit is offered and professor is very helpful with feedback.

Mr. Furrow is a great teacher who wants you do to your best. He is understanding if you need more time on an assignment due to a family issue or if something is going on in your personal life. His class is not complicated and pretty straight forward.
He's a great teacher, very calm and pulled together. He gives extra credit and is very understanding, he'll help you of you have questions.
Great instructing, gives multiple examples per topic of discussion.
The professor is straightforward and provides honest feedback.
Class is fun/engaging with his lectures, and the assignments are very easy. Professor Furrow truly wants the best for his students, and I highly recommend taking this class with him!
Great professor, chose him because of ratemyprofessors and I don't regret it. he is pretty chill and likes to have fun with the class, not very tough but you have to do the work. Attendance gives points so you have a choice.
he cares for your future, and talking one on one with him is always an option. he tries to make lectures engaging, and doesn't feel the need to use all the class time if not necessary. very understanding and caring, talking with him is a joy. the assignments may feel a little tedious, but he's very well organized. would recommend this professor.
The professor is very nice and cares for his students. However, he likes to talk a lot in class about the assignment on canvas.
Professor Furrow is fantastic! The class is easy to follow, and their enthusiasm makes it enjoyable. Always ready to help when needed. I highly recommend!

Clear and concise feedback. Definitely a good professor.
The professor clearly explains assignments and guides you through them.
He is very understanding
Awesome professor, made the class a lot more interesenting.
The professor is very clear with what he needs from you in this class. Textbook isn't mandatory, he just requires that you purchase a code for a survey, which can be found in the book, but he also tells you how to buy the code only without having to pay more for the addition of the textbook. He gives weekly extra credit and is very reasonable.
This professor goes through course material thoroughly and explains assignments, and other aspects of the class that will help you pass.
He made it possible to understand easily and well informed.
I would definitely recommend Professor Furrow. He makes class super easy, and offers extra credit every week. He usually leaves assignments open after the due dates and only takes off like 10% if it's late. But you definitely want to submit the discussions on time because he will lock those. Super nice laid back guy who loves interactive students.
Professor Furrow is a really great teacher. He is always open to help you at any moment and he cares about his students. I felt really lost at the beginning and he helped me a lot.
he was really chill and usually allowes an extra day on most if not all assignments
He does a pretty good job at teaching the lessons each week, he makes sure that everyone understands the material before moving on and makes it easy to follow
This professor was really caring and ready to help whenever you needed help with anything. He offers Extra Credit every Friday on Zoom, where you can simply sign in and even ask him questions that involve difficulties in understanding the assignment.
Professor Furrow is really great! I loved having him as my professor as he was always available after class during his zooms, which were extra credit. There were lots of opportunities for EC and the criteria to get it was really easy. He's also very responsive and actually helps, especially on the zooms which I have attended many of.
Great professor and is really easy to talk to outside of just his class. All assignments are due on Friday @ 11:59, just 1-2 assignments . Usually one of them is a discussion where you have to respond to 2 other students but the length is short. One big project at the end is easy too. Offers extra credit weekly. Slightly talkative, lecture heavy.
This course has a good amount of assignments. They are very easy but you do take some time doing them just like any other assignments. This professor in all honesty is very nice and understanding. You can feel that he is there to help his students. He is also very fair and unbiased.
Professor Furrow is a really amazing professor, his class is really fun, their assignments are easy, and if you missed one, you'll have the opportunity to upgrade your grade with extra credits.
Best professor of my 1st semester! He really cares about his students, he will always help you with anything if you ask him. I would 100% take him again! He's a professor that I will always remember.
This class was easy if you just do the work and participate in class. The assignments were not difficult at all and he gives great feedback.
He was always very helpful, always answered no matter what, always wants to help you and gives extra credit alot.
A great teacher. One of the kindest, he doesn't really care about talking about late assignments, he always tries to understand us as a class and always making sure we all get comfortable with each other.
There are no textbooks but he will ask you to purchase a Clifton book which will be used in assignments. Great teacher!
Robert Furrow is a great professor. He really cares about his students and loves to make sure everyone gets involved. He provides a safe and interactive environment. Would definitely recommend him for first time students.
Was very to keep on tack with this class, workload is what I was expecting
Professor Furrow truly cares about his students and he goes above and beyond to ensure our success and happiness. His assignments are very manageable and are clearly explained and worked on in class.

As a new student navigating the challenges and opportunities of university life, I had the privilege of being taught by Professor Robert Furrow in the New Student Experience class. From the outset, Professor Furrow demonstrated a genuine commitment to helping students transition smoothly into the academic environment, fostering and supportive .
He's real chill and when he goes over homework its real clear what is meant to happen.
The class I took with this professor was a mixed-mode course. He provided a concise elaboration on every week's module, as well only assigned 1-2 assignments and a discussion each week.
Furrow was very chill and it was easy to get work done, even when not in attendance. The assignments do start to get a little more complicated near the end, but it's just time management.
Mr, Robert is a great proffesor and I would recommend him to any new student starting College at Valencia.
Never assigns more than 2-3 assignments per week, always ready to help or answer student questions. Get ready to think about your future! Fair grading, quick classes. Easiest classes I had this semester.
He is very understanding and will work with you when you have things going on. He is very kind and helps you with school and life in general.
He's very caring and what to help you figure out what you'd like to do to further your future. Also very easy grader.
Don't miss the opportunity to take this class with Professor Furrow! He's an exceptional educator - professional, highly knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping his students succeed.
The professor is easy going, expect a lot of class discussion and opportunity to again extra credit. The professor is not a tough grade he more so cares that the students are grasping the information that he is teaching and its benefits. The professor as a great way of breaking the ice making everyone feel a bit more relaxed and involve.
The professor possesses warm and welcoming demeanor. He is very approachable and open to engaging in conversation regarding not only the course, but also answer questions/give advice with regards to future career planning. He is personable and finds ways to make the material not only engaging, but makes it relatable on a personal level.
The professor possesses a calm and welcoming demeanor. You can always ask questions about the curriculum or even just general questions about potential career development. He makes the material engaging and relatable by discussing how the application and sometimes the lack thereof has impacted his own life.
He is here to help and will give honest feedback about the class or about life.
He was Great take him if you wanna take this class
Very participation and lecture based. Gives about 2 assignments a week but be careful because once you start slacking it can start adding up.
Very participation and lecture based. Gives about 2 assignments a week a discussion and a project, but be careful because once you start slacking it can start adding up.
Mr. Furrow was the absolute best professor i could have asked for, especially for my first ever college professor. He provides all the resources and information you could possibly ask for as well as has many options for extra credit and so long as you show up participate and do your work you have no reason not to pass with flying colors.
He is an amazing professor. Very sweet and caring. The class is an easy A. Show up, participate, and turn your work in. He is very accomendating and is not strict. The only downside is that the leatures are very boring and the class is extremely slow paced.
Please don't be scared to ask questions, he is very open to helping as much as possible.
He makes you question thing you haven't ask your self yet about your path, your time in college, the field in work.
New student experience can be kinda boring but he made it pretty interesting and enjoyable.
Professor Furrow is super approachable and makes the material engaging. He's all about helping you plan your future. Plus, the class is easy but still valuable - I found unstuckstudy ai super useful for exam prep.
The teacher is great, the class is really simple and straightforward and he's easy to get along with. Alongside that, he's always available to talk to and get guidance on your path in the future. He also offers great opportunities for extra credit that you can take great benefits from. Overall he's a really good professor and would recommend him.
He has a nice calm voice, somewhat monotone and he is very straightforward. Mild mannered and understanding, he dives deep into specific topics and makes up think about our future.
He has a very calm tone and is very easy to understand. Nice mild voice and is very straightforward, we know exactly what we need to do and what we're learning.

This professor is very responsible and teach a lot about the college life.
Class is very flexible and is available to respond to questions during most times.
He's super chill and helpful with assignments. He's super helpful if you ask and doesn't mind taking the time to explain a subject.
Professor Furror is a great professor who cares for the success of his students. Would highly recommend taking him.
Professor Furrow was a great introduction to my college classes, he is very respectful. He is a great teacher and he explains everything in clear detail and he is very interactive.
Professor Furrow was a great teacher and would be very good explaining lessons and getting concepts through to students. I would definitely recommend this professor, I did great in class and he is very understanding and helps if you communicate with him.
The course is intentionally designed to be hand-held. The professor holds meetings every Friday to answer questions about the topic being discussed that week, and attending them will give extra credit; moreover, I doubt it is necessary for me to explain how much this purposeful decision by the professor benefits the student's grade & education.
Awesome Professor! Easy class!
Mr. Furrow was very helpful and easygoing with all the students and gave very clear advice to them whenever it was needed. His classes are very engaging and he instituted various in-class projects which made the class that more interesting. I would highly recommend his class to any of my peers!
He did a good job of helping students when needed. The work is rather boring but nothing you wouldn't expect from new student experience. It is rather heavy in writing but overall an enjoyable experience.
After taking Mr. Furrow Id like to say that he's one of the best teachers for any new student to take. You will learn a lot from taking this class with Mr. Furrow. The only way you could possibly fail this class or get anything lower than an A is if you don't try AT ALL. TAKE THIS CLASS TRUST ME!
Professor Furrow is a great SLS professor! Don't worry about there being a lot of work. Honestly, the assignments are easy, some might take a little longer but none of the assignments are hard. Attendance is not necessarily mandatory because he's not strict/does not get on you about it but if you do miss any days you lose 5 points each day you miss
Great professor! Super chill and understanding. Around 2 assignments a week that he gives you class time to complete. You will learn a lot of valuable lessons.
Good teacher, easy assignments, it can be easy to fall behind so stay on top of deadlines, and if anything you can always email or reach out to him.
He's chill just show up for class
This class is very simple if you follow instructions, it helps you decide what you want to do for your future. If you take this class seriously it will really benefit you.
The class is easy to get a good grade in because the work isn't too difficult and you can get extra credit weekly. The professor is very helpful and easy to talk to and you can learn a lot from this class.
He is very generous with his time. He gives really good feedback and always tries to help students succeed and be the best they can be.
I would recommend this professor for an online class. The professor is always organized with the lessons throughout the week and always provides an extra credit assignment each week. Just make sure to always complete the assignments on time and follow the rubrics and you should be good.
The professor is supportive and always willing to help, taking time to answer students' questions thoroughly. Additionally, he offers flexible opportunities for students to complete the course, understanding that everyone has different schedules and commitments.
Rating: 5/5 Professor Furrow is an excellent SLS instructor! He's approachable, engaging, and genuinely cares about student success. His clear explanations and constructive feedback make assignments manageable and insightful. He's understanding with deadlines and encourages personal growth. Highly recommend for a supportive start to college!
Professor Furrow gave really good feedback when it came to my assignments and answered questions I had about pursuing my career. A lot of the course material related to shaping our personal futures. Sometimes instructions were unclear to me, but the professor cleared any confusion I had. Also extra credit is easy to obtain so that was helpful.
10/10 amazing teacher. If you want an easy A this is the teacher to go to. Very respectful and homework isn't heavy. He sometimes lectures alot but it's not too much. There aren't any exams just a final project at the end. I would def take him again if I could.
If you want a easy A+ then this professor is for you. He gives an A on almost everything and gives you amazing feedback. No exams and 1-2 assignments per week. He is also very leniant with late work so you'll be good. He does lecture alot but its intresting stuff that are helpful. He also helps you alot with good advice. Extra credit weekly!
He's a good entry-level professor.
Understanding and nice!!
I think this professor is super nice and very understanding. He also makes sure that you understand the assignment and leaves directions of clarification on canvas. He is also very nice and allows you to redo the assignment for a better grade which is very nice. Overall nice guy easy assignments and overall a really good class to take with him.
He is a great teacher with a ton of knowledge on the class and other future goals(Jobs, money spending). His assignments are pretty straight forward, but if you need help his explanations make the assignments more clear. He gives many chances are receiving extra credit and turn in work.
This Professor was great and understanding. He means well and has some interesting things to say
Hes very outgoing and he knows what he's doing
Very easy course, assignments are fun to do.

The professor gives out extra credit opportunities each week. The assignments are easy and doesn't take much time to complete. He is lenient with late work as long as you notify him. He gives great advice and has helped me answer many questions related to my goals. I highly recommend others to take this class!
Professor Furrow is very understanding and will work with you. Going through the information before a discussion or assignment may take some time. The actual discussions aren't bad, however on the assignments, they usually take me a lot of time. Course isn't difficult, yet very time consuming for those with busy schedules.
Mr furrow was very helpful with everithig and very flexible for assigments, every week he was an extra credit opportunity and talks to you personaly to help you with any matter, also the assigments are easy to understand due to the many available resources he provides ................................................................................

I have had to repeat this course due to moving multiple times and this credit doesn't transfer so i didn't think i could learn anything from it. But Professor Furrow still managed to teach me new information about the college process and how certain things worked. I would highly recommend getting this professor if you have the opprotunity.
Great teacher would love to repeat he really cares about us and reaching our goals
Take Professor Furrow! Assignments are broken up on a weekly basis which gives you enough time. You actually learn more about getting you degree, planning your near future. Great class.
Excellent professor, really digs into the subject matter and proves he wants to help you
This Professor was really caring and he also provided extra credit every week to improve our grade. He was also very flexible with the assignments by giving you exceptions or extensions if needed.
The material are given weekly and u have about a week to do it their is always a chance of extra credit every week. The professor is nice and understanding.
He is a good and flexible professor
He is awesome
This class has been really easy going. There isn't too much workload per se, but when there is just make sure to lock in and do your best. He is very understanding if you happen to miss lectures. He is also easily accessible outside of class. You don't really need the book, just the access code. He gives plenty opportunities for extra credits.
This teacher was very caring and clearly loved the class he taught which shows in his lectures 10/10
The professor explains things clearly and keeps the class organized. Their teaching style is easy to follow, and they always make sure we understand before moving on. I appreciate how they relate the material to real-life situations it makes learning more engaging.

easy class and professor gives plenty of material to help set you up for upcoming assignments. Lots of feedback and responsive to messages.
East class
​He gives out a lot of extra credit. Also, his work is super easy, and his grading criteria are very clear. He is also an easy grader. There is only one assignment every week, sometimes two. He is also very understanding about situations that just kind of happen that you don't have control over. Take this class if you want an easy A.
Decent professor, there is a decent amount of assignments but if you attend the class you can either finish it there and he will provide a break down of the assignment but its pretty straight forward.
Overall really great professor, explains things super well and is very patient with everyone would recommend!
Overall great professor!
He's definitely a professor I would recommend, he explains things clearly and is very patient with students even if they don't participate.
Overall very easy and fun class :)
He is the actual best, please take him if you can. He left me submit an assignment late one time and he didn't take off any points. An actual sweetheart and he is just the best. His class is very easy, as long as you do the work you should be fine. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

This is really a good course.
Very kind and respectful!!!
Very cool professor, understanding and relaxed. very respectful
I literally love this professor. He made class fun, easy to follow, and meaningful. His humor and energy kept us engaged, and he always explained things clearly. He helped me find my direction in college. I truly enjoyed every class and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great experience.
He's very clear at conveying the course material, but he does over explain some things. It feels like the course work is very self explanatory and you can do the work without having to go to class. It's kind of a boring class and I just found out that they don't require you to take this class anymore.
A very helpful professor who clearly wants nothing but for all his students succeed. Teaches you many resources around campus and online. SLS can be easily overlooked but I learned things ill be using for my entire educational career.
He is super nice and super understanding!! I needed help with a few things this semester and he helped me so much! Especially if you can't make it to class or miss an appointment. He will always make sure you are caught up! 100% would take him again.
He was a cool teacher who would talk but allow interactive discussions during class.
He was really good about helping me understand parts of assignments that I did not understand. He was also really good about giving advice for interviews, applying to jobs, and other real world conflicts.
Mr. Robbert Furrow is a great teacher for the New Student Experience class at Valencia College East Campus. His lectures are clear and easy to understand. He explains things well and makes sure students are prepared for college life. lt. If you want a teacher who supports you and helps you get ready for college, I recommend Mr. Furrow's class.
he is super nice and understanding, even though not showing up to class will affect your grade it isn't by much and if you tell him you won't make it a day in advance he is super understanding about it and it won't affect it. he's assignments are pretty easy and yes you won't need a textbook but you will need the access code in the textbook.
Great professor! Very understanding and helpful with assignments and other important things you may need or have questions about. Very easy to talk to and make students feel comfortable. Definitely would take this class again and highly recommend this professor!
Overall the professor is nice and does his job well.
You should definitely take this class!!!1 He's an amazing professor. He really cares about you and your learning.

amazing class very interactive with students and gives good lectures that actually help would recommend this class
very good and interactive and pretty easy work would recommend taking this class
Honestly, at first he sounded kind of monotone to me, but over the time I've spent listening to his lectures, I was being dramatic. Mr Furrow shows he cares about the material and the success of his students, rather than just teaching to get paid. He's given pretty easy assignments and genuinely inspired me to aim higher than how I perceive myself.
He's just a chill guy I don't know what else to say
Professor Furrow is extremely kind and caring and wants his students to succeed. His class is very helpful if you are not sure what direction you want to go in with your career. The assignments are simple, and he gives feedback to help you improve.
He checks every assignment but the cirriculum is none-the-less fun. He is outstanding.

This professor was really great and I thought his lectures were really informative, important, interesting, and helpful.
Good professor, keeps the class engaged and isn't super heavy with homework. Depending on what time of the day you take the class, things can get dull but he's great with keeping everyone focused and gives out lots of good information.
This professor was very encouraging and helpful. Most of the work is participation-based.
This professor is very helpful.
He Okay and the class is pretty easy!!!
He helps his students prepare for the necessities of graduating, very helpful.
The assignments are pretty easy but can be a lot to handle
The professor is nice and helpful. The assignments are easy but can be long. Most of it involves participation and interacting with others.
He usually ends class early for those who want to go, he does stay in the class until the period ends to answer any potential questions so make sure you take advantage of that.
GOOD TEACHER
This professor is easy to understand and he is super helpful. I struggle to go to his class because its super early and i worked late but he never uses my grade as punishment and it so easy to make up for. If you miss assignments they don't close and you can take them at a better time. There is a textbook but you only use it for the access code.
Very easy going and gives extra time on assignments.
