Has a unique teaching style that made everything simple and crystal clear. He taught me more trig in 2 classes of pre-calc than I learned in a semester of trig. I wish he taught every math class I have to take.
If your not already enrolled with Rob Rubalcaba, you have already screwed your next term.
TRIG. He's cool but don't take his class if you want to pass & have a hard time with math already. We spend a class or two doing arts and crafts, but he gives us a crash course a class before the exam. Most of the time he came late to our class and complained about it being too early. He can be helpful, but you have to ask for clarification.
Only take this class IF: you're majoring in Arts & Crafts/minoring in DJ'ing, you enjoy studying all night to find out the exam is postponed, you don't want to learn anything useful for further math courses, you enjoy arriving on time before the Prof every morning, and most importantly if you enjoy teaching math to yourself. Good luck.
If u are up for spontaneous and entertaining math class, then this is your class. He is hilarious, definitely an out-of-the-box thinker. His teaching style is like nothing you have ever experienced. OCD students might struggle because he doesn't follow a precise order, instead he jumps from concept to concept making sure you know your stuff.
I really enjoyed being in this class, I would sometimes miss a day in the week &I'd still be set on my test and get all A's. He's great at teaching and does it at a slow pace for others to get the hang of it. His test are only easy if you ay attention and do your work. I wish he would teach summer btw he always says yeeah. I never needed textbook
Very good patient teacher, who is willing to go out if his way to see his students succeed
I took him for business calculus. He's a nice professor and always tries to crack jokes in class. I found myself teaching myself in a lot of the chapters since it was hard for me to follow his lectures. Tests were fair. Almost all of them were online tests and gave us two attempts on some of them. like any other class, just study hard.
HW is graded seriously for example you get 76 hw questions right and miss three question then thats 7/10. minus 10 percent for every wrong question.. the solution to this madness?? Anton ISM, download it. which make you get a perfect score every time.. other than that.. exams are super super easy compared to alvarezes and the asian lady. Easy A
I don't know many professors more passionate about education than Professor Rubalcaba. I was by no means a good math student, but because I showed up to every class and came to his office hours, he truly worked with me to pass his class. I actually ended up with a B+! His classes are fun and he grades extremely fair. Would highly recommend!
Take him if you're a math major Professor Rob really wants you to learn the material, his explanations are clear and his classes are not boring. He encourages students to not give up and will go out of his way to help you pass. Lots of homework though, there are weekly quizzes and like 4 exams and a final thats 30% of your grade, I learned a lot
Dr. Rob is the most caring teacher I've ever had. I have never seen such dedication like he has in any professor. If it was something that I didn't understand there were unlimited hours of tutoring offered from him just so I can get it. I passed his class with a B after not having math in over 20 years. He's got a gift.
Nice. Understanding. Very good at what he does. Short attention span. Arts and crafts. Too much side convo Dont recommend unless you are patient.
Dr Rob is a gifted teacher and I would love to take his class again. He is very dedicated and passionate about teaching. He was available for the tutoring throughout the semester weekend and weekdays. I went to most of his tutoring sessions and I saw very few other folks from class. You really need to show him that you are trying if you an average
AMAZING math teacher. I've had horrible anxiety around math since high school but really enjoyed his class. He has insane amounts of office hours including weekends. He really cares about his students and wants them to learn. The homework is hard but he'll help people with it(in and out of class), tests are easier and he curves.
Professor Rob has one of the most amazing professors I have had while at the SDCCs. He has the most wide reaching office hours of any professor I've ever had, he is very understanding and helps you as much as he can with homework, and has a very high pass rate for Calculus II because he cares a lot. He also has a couple extra credit assignments.
Has tons of tutoring hours will go out of his way to help a student.
A wonderful teacher I would recommend to anyone. The homework is tough and lengthy, but if you seek help he will always provide it. The exams are easy if you do the homework. I wish I could continue to take classes from him. He cares about your success and will be flexibile if you need it.
To take Dr. Rob's class is an opportunity!!! This man will do anything to help you learn the material and grow. He will challenge you like you never have been, but will provide equal support to match it. He has office hours all throughout the week. Some people complain about his slow grading, it's because he focuses on more important things!!!
Honestly if it wasnt for this encounter with this teacher I wouldnt be where I am today in life period . NEVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF AND HE WONT GIVE UP ON YOU . I participated and went to tutor because I needed it .. KNOW YOURSELF NOTHING IN LIFE IF EASY BUT IF YOU GO AND PAY FORTH WHATS NEEDED YOU WILL LEAVE HIS CLASS WITH A SMILE !!
Walking into this class i thought I would fail and suck at math. Instead walked out with an A. Dr Rob gives us so much motivation, time and effort, he makes sure you pass the class. He gives us so many gateway study tools its hard to not pass. Most people be giving bad reviews but its not that hard to crack open a book and just get to work. MATH!
Loved Dr. Robs class. Made me like math and realize my potential as a student. Always excited to teach and uses some unconventional ways of teaching. Often tries to relate lessons to the "real" word. Truly cares for students and their well being. Not a bunch of HW or quiz's. Only a few exams. Overall I will be looking to take his class again.
He is a well-rounded teacher, don't expect an easy A. He gives out a good amount of homework that covers absolutely everything that comes on the exams. If you do the homeworks and really put effort into them, then you should expect an easy A. He has a ton of office hours, but don't expect to have all your problems solved without putting in effort.
His class teaches you more than just Math (hardcore Math), he teaches you to acknowledge our opportunities and to make every opportunity count. Every single class was a reminder of how lucky I was to be there. Come ready to work but you will walk out a different person if you stick it out.
Dr. Rob is the most enthusiastic, and passionate teacher I've ever had. I hope to encounter his charisma again. He challenges to a point of no return. Teaching a subject that sounds complex and difficult, before you know it you'll be teaching your peers. Don't pass up the opportunity to be taught how to learn because you afraid of working for it.
He requires you to actually go to tutoring, so if you learned anything during the semester, its from them. Hes fun, but not helpful. He sometimes skips steps, hes not the most clear, kinda gets grating with jokes, and just does not deliver well. Also, homework is massive. And if he postpones, he does it the night before, so theres no relief.
Very helpful and supported on helping you understand all material and concepts as well as all the office hours to ensure your success.
Math245: Doctor Rob is a great person, always helping those in need, however he has a lot on his hands and It shows during class. He teaches very fast paced to keep up. He has no set schedule on what we are suppose to learn and doesn't give work back until the end of semester. What to expect: Work HARD, Expect 200+ problems,and Self-taught.
Great guy! Tough material but go to his office hours, you'll be fine. Just show up, do the work, ask lots of questions. He is always willing to go above and beyond to teach the material. He makes learning fun and has the most office hours compared to any instructor I've ever had.
Lmao I would 100% take again
Hes really understanding and caring, you literally can email him anytime of the day to ask a question. He accommodates to your needs, he makes sure that every person in the class is understanding math and is ready to excel.
Bottom line, he cares nd is very passionate about what he does. He will push u in ways that'll make u want to give up every night. The important thing is that he is sympathetic 2 ur struggles and he is there 2 help you along the way. He really cares for ur success and it'll show. Tons of HW. Don't miss class or tutorings. Only way to succeed
Dr Rob is a professor who cares about you more then just your grade. Hell do anything to have you learn and understand a concept. Will stay with you for as long as it takes to help you excel in and outside the classroom. Yes their will be work ahead but its supper beneficial and he super understanding. Just get ready to laugh, fun, and WORK.
Dr. Rubalcaba (aka Dr. Rob) is a one of a kind teacher. He is always there for his students and is always willing to help. Definitely try to take him. He cares about his students and makes math fun to learn. I had him for Math 119x and it was awesome. Dr. Rob is always there, so don't be afraid to ask questions if you need any help.
Take this class if you want to learn statistic. Yes expect to do math everyweek. But he is the kinda of professor who is therefore you 24/7. Gives alot of feedback. helps you SO MUCH. I wanted to take math for my fisrt year of college but the class was full. i waited semester because i wanted NO OTHER THAN DR ROB. Do your work equals A+
Dr. Rob is AMAZING. He is so passionate about math and he wants to ensure the success of his students. he will make himself available at all times of the day. he will never make any question feel like a dumb question. Heavy on homework, you will work for your grade, but he makes sure you you are well equipped for calc. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Dr. Rob is one of the best professors I have ever seen, as long as you work hard he will be willing to help you. his class is not about the grade but he will motivate you and at the end of the semester you will take something bigger from this class. He wants to see you graduate. I would definitely encourage you to take this class.
Rob gives a lot of homework, but the homework isn't the compounding factor in his grading. He is extremely caring for his students and it shows with his availablility. Has unorthodox style of teaching and bounces around on subjects, but he will spend that extra time helping out. I highly recommend Rob he's there to help any way he can!
In-person to Online PANDEMIC review: His style of teaching includes a multicultural approach which students from all communities require in order to receive a TRUE equitable access to education. He provided countless hours of tutoring to my daughter and I -Dtr was taking another professor's same math course! Scared of math? Take this course!
Dr. Rob is very passionate about teaching and it's inspiring. He has been the most accessible professor i've had in my college career. Take advantage of his office hours. His deadlines are usually flexible. He uses real world applications for math concepts and that really helped my learn and prepare for future math classes. 10/10 would take again.
I wish he taught all my math classes! His classes are enjoyable, engaging, and funny. If you are someone that struggles with math, this is the teacher for you. He is extremely understanding and helpful.
Dr. Rob was awesome! I haven't taken a math class in 10 years, and was very nervous about committing to a completely ONLINE college algebra class. But he did an amazing job of hosting daily lecture/study sessions, and the way the class was structured - I always had a support system of other students there to help me too. I would recommend him!
Math was my weakness, I have never understood it. Then I met Dr. Rob who is the most caring, loving person I've ever met. He helped me turn my math into a strength and would even stay after hours to help me with homework. If you have to take math and don't believe in yourself, Dr. Rob WILL ! He just wants to see you succeed and follow your dreams.
Dr. Rob is extremely patient, friendly, helpful, and actually makes math really fun! He will always no matter what, put students who are falling behind in the learning ahead of wanting to just cover subjects and move onto next ones. He doesnt mind spending a whole class period just making sure everyone has their questions answered. Amazing
Dr. Rob is an absolutely fantastic professor, through & through. He cares deeply for his students and genuinely doesn't want to see anybody fall behind. He will spend hours helping you with a concept if you need it, and is one of the only math professors who isn't irritated at explaining concepts or arrogant. Also his lecture examples are hilarious
By far, best Math professor ever! Take him if you can, he is always more than happy to help and will go out of his way for his students. He helped me understand a math class that I would have otherwise probably failed because of how difficult the material was.
He's a great professor! Just do your homework and you'll pass. He constantly has tutoring and is a caring professor. You can tell he genuinely cares and that he wants you to pass his class. Although it's difficult learning math online, you can always ask for help. Make sure to take notes, it'll be super helpful.
Professor Rob is literally the greatest professor to ever teach at San Diego
Dr Rob is seriously the BEST professor I've ever had. He cares so much about all his students and respects them as people instead of numbers. He wants you to pass his class and helps you understand the math in any way you understand it. Just do your work and take notes for sure stats isn't easy, but he makes it really hard to fail.
Dr. Rob is a professor who wants every single one of his students to pass. Assignments require work. But I do want to point out that he holds daily office hours. Dr. Rob spends most of his time in office hours helping students. Dr. Rob also prioritizes community. He believes community is the key to success. Dr. Rob is a respectable for professor.
Dr. Rob is one of the best professors I know. He is a very kindhearted man that truly wants his students to succeed and achieve their goals. He is always in office hours helping students out and encourages us to do our best. He does not belittle you when you do not understand things right away, and he is very patient. Overall, it was a great class.
Dr. Rob is hands down the most incredible Professor there is! Like everyone before me has stated, he is passionate about teaching, super patient and cares about his students, he WANTS each student to pass and will go out of his way each time to ensure they understand the material. Dr. Rob has renewed my trust in the academic system. GREAT teacher
Awesome professor, you can tell he genuinely cares about each student! I found the class pretty easy and he was always willing to help if I ever had a question. Definitely reccommend!!
I could not believe that I actually understood and did well with statistics. I have always struggled with math but Found myself enjoying the work. This professor will help you succeed.
Such a great professor. He really cares for students and does his absolute best to help students pass and most importantly helps students learn the material. He is extremely patient. He also offers a lot of extra credit. Taking again for another class later down the road
By far professor Rob is one of the greatest math teachers out there. I usually always had a hard time with math but he made learning so much easier and he was always ready to help you out.
Dr. Rob is the most amazing teacher I have ever come across. When I first enrolled in the class I heard amazing things about Dr. Rob, but he was way better than the what Ive heard. He is caring, respectful and very very helpful. He not only wants to see you succeed in math, he will help with you your problems outside of the learning space.
If you have math anxiety, this is absolutely the class for you. Dr Rob cares about all his students, inside and outside of class. He goes the extra mile to ensure that his students are able to understand the material. He provides videos, notes, web tools, and extra office hours to make sure that students can be successful in his class. Hes amazing
There truly aren't enough words to describe Dr. Rob! This man creates families in his class. If you ever struggle with math just know he can change that! He is always available even at the craziest hours. He gives all of himself to his students. He cares about the student not just the math. Do not miss your chance to take his class. Life Changing.
Awesome proffesor, offers a lot of support! Amazing
Best professor you will ever find. Only professor to have made me feel seen and heard as a student, and made me want to show up. Unlimited attempts on assignments/midterms, and over beyond help from him. Super funny and will make you cry with how much he cares for you. You will do yourself a favor by taking his class.
The reason why I recommend this class again because Dr Rob is an awesome math professor and #1 best teacher.
I took this class during the summer which meant 18 weeks into 8, so yeah it seemed like a lot of work but all of it was applicable. He applies the material to real world examples which helps a lot and he was available to answer questions at ALL hours for students who worked. He was willing to adapt his schedule to help students learn. Caring.
I wish more professors were like Dr. Rob. He is sincerely the kindest and most compassionate professor that I have ever had. He cares so much about his students and wants them to succeed. I was truly terrified to take another stats class and Dr. Rob not only helped me to understand this subject, but he helped me to like it! 10/10 would recommend.
BEST MATH TEACHER EVER! I took a course with him at UCSD for Summer Bridge. He is extremely inspirational and pushes his students to be confident in their work and know they belong in higher education. He made himself available at all hours of day to answer all our math questions. He TRULY cares about students and their success. Highly recommend!!!
When I first had Dr. Rob I was unsure about him but I made sure to communicate in order to get the help I needed and he was beyond understanding and he wants you to succeed in his course. It can be easy to get lost in the class especially online so speak up and participate in his class and he will love that. Make sure you watch his lecture videos!!
Most helpful Professor I have ever had. I'm not the best at math, but the amount of effort he puts into helping you learn is amazing. Take him!
Dr. Rob is the best teacher!! take this class if you want to do well in math. He really does everything he can to make sure every student succeeds. offers office hours, zooms, one on one meetings, and is always active to answer questions. I can't recommend Dr. Rob enough!
This Professor doesn't just lecture and teach. He uses real life examples to explain the course material. He is a beacon in the vast ocean called Math! Even if you are taking someone else's class, you can show up to his office hours with your questions. He uses cool technology to help find ways to compute math rather than by pen and paper. WORTH IT
I had professor Rubalcaba in the Fall semester 2021. The class started with a lot of work when we were reviewing, but he was extremely lenient with deadlines. His goal was for us to learn. He really cares about his students on every level. I learned so much from his class. I am very happy I took his class. Great professor!
I recently took Math 92 with Dr. Rob as part of an apprenticeship fulfillment class with my current employer. Let me say, I haven't been a "student" in years and Dr. Rob definitely goes the extra mile to help any and everyone who shows up and asks questions. He goes well above and beyond with explanations and his patience, A+++ Professor.
You ever hear those stories people tell you about a professor they had that theyll remember forever? You ever hear about the people who tell you they had a professor who inspired them to do what they wanted to do and achieve greatness? THAT GUY FOR ME IS DR. ROB! What an incredible professor I have no words. Enough said. What a cool guy!!
I was so happy that the statistics class was so easy and fun that I was able to immerse myself in the class, assignments, and exams all during that time. Dr. Rob's class was great! Even though I'm not a native speaker, his classes made it easy and fun for me to finish math and statistics well. I want to take only his classes. Thanks to him :) -K-
Professor Rob was very encouraging and was always in touch. Through the pronto app, you could ask a question at any time and get an explanation.
Dr. Rob truly cares about your quality of life as a student and as an individual. He provides numerous resources to set you up for success in his class and to find support in the community. No question is ever judged. Based on my experience this semester, I would highly recommend taking any session he has to offer.
Dr. Rob is the kindest professor I have ever met and is respectful to his students. If you have a fear of math and want to break it, I highly recommend taking this course. He provides video lectures and communicates with students by constantly answering questions through Pronto every day.
He is an amazing, caring, and patient professor. He genuinely cares about his students succeeding and feeling comfortable enough to ask questions. He is ALWAYS available if you have any questions or just need help with the material. If you are looking to take a math class, I 100% with no doubt recommend professor Rob, you will not regret it.
If you really want a teacher who challenges you, take Dr. Rob to ensure you are really learning the material. Hands down one of the best, most caring, loving, even snack bringing, heart on his sleeve, biggest heart ever, fun, charismatic, & vivacious teacher. The weekly hw that he assigns is challenging, but he often has office hours. Choose him
Don't be afraid to ask any question he is the best professor as long as you do your work there is no problem at all.
He's such an amazing professor who is always ready to help all of his students and he makes sure that no one falls behind!
Incredible professor. He makes students like math through teaching a wide variety of concepts and its applications, and even through the history of math. All of his lectures are amazing, and loves to demonstrate concepts through hands-on crafting. He even offered his students snacks like chocolate and granola bars! He loves teaching, even at 11pm!
If you want to succeed in math no matter where you are at PLEASE take Dr. Rob's course. He is beyond caring, intelligent and respected, He is the definition of what a teacher is suppose to be like. He creates a non judgmental space for math.
If you have math anxiety or if math isn't your strong suit take Dr. Rob. He genuinely cares about every single one of his students and he wants you to succeed. Everything is on Hawkes, homework and sometimes test with unlimited attempts, it takes the highest score. There's also 3 big tests with 3 attempts each and a final presentation that's easy.
If you struggle with math than this is your man! While attendance isn't mandatory, I recommend coming to lectures. He is very good at breaking things down and explaining. There is quite a bit of homework but that's excepted in a math class. He is always more than willing to help and almost always available. He is so kind and intelligent. 10/10
Dr. Rob was my first professor for a college math class, and I couldn't have been more satisfied that I took his statistics class. He is very open and very understanding of the student lifestyle. He is truly an inspirational person and this class and his teaching style made me want to pursue a career in statistics.
Dr. Rob explains the assignments so you can understand it better and he goes step by step through each different problem you'll get so you can do the problems that are given out. Dr. Rob makes videos we can watch and those are very helpful. He goes above and beyond for his students because he truly cares for us in succeeding, and very open-minded.
Dr. Rob is a great professor. He really helps you through each assignment and asking for help is encouraged. Your grade really depends on how much you prepare and put in the work. I would suggest that you watch the online lectures to give yourself an advantage during the review in class. Overall a great environment Dr. rob creates.
Dr rob is always very kind, patient, helpful and truly care about his profession and his students! Thank you for a fun semester! I always enjoy having you as a professor and I appreciate how approachable you are. It means a lot to me that you check in with how things are going, because school can get pretty stressful but thx to Dr rob .
When I say Dr. Rob is the best math teacher I have ever had, believe me cuz he is. He's understanding and patient and really takes the time to teach you. I recommend him 110/10. Pay attention and doing your work on time is all you need to do. Thank you so much dr. rob and I'll miss you.
Dr. Rob really cares about his students and makes the class entertaining. Very inspirational and clear when giving instructions. My first college math class that wasn't a complete disaster. He takes the time to answer all questions and gives a breakdown for each problem. Would definitely take again!
El Doctor Rubalcaba es un excelente catedratico comprometido y consagrado a la educacion siempre disponible a ayudar a los estudiantes a alcanzar sus metas, e impulsarlos al truinfo academico, brindandoles tutorias y horas de oficina. En sus horas de clases de laboratorio inculca a los estudiantes a ayudarse mutuamente con las asignaciones.
He is very caring of his students. I'm not good at math and took math 119 two times and didn't pass until I took 119x with DR. Rob. he helped me pass and was very helpful and caring.
Easily the best math teacher at SDCC, and in my school career. Dr. Rob really cares about his students and does everything possible to set his class up for success. We used free resources (Google sheets and SALT), which are accessible to everyone. A real man of the people!
ending the semester on a great note with my relationship with math, Not only does he motivate you to do well in the class but he is very inclusive with the classroom. The assignments will get more challenging as the semester continues but I completely recommend to take his class. As I wish I could if I had the chance.
Dr. Rob is a caring, passionate professor who helped me overcome math anxiety. Stats class made math understandable; improved from low grades to an A. Practical with real-life applications. Excellent choice for anyone struggling with math. 5/5 rating. Thank you, Dr. Rob. Will miss you. :)
He makes math actually fun to learn and explains things so that every person understand in their own way. Is always available after class very hands on teacher . Would recommend to everyone
Dr Rob Is one of the best teachers and people I have ever met. He inspires his students with confidence, and is always available to ask questions to. I absolutely recommend his class for anyone needing to take a class he offers.
You are lucky if you get Dr Rob as your professor! He is extremely passionate about his students well being personally and academically. I never thought I would say that I had a positive experience taking a math class, but in his class I did. Dr Rob has a teaching approach that makes everyone feel comfortable & confident. Highly recommend.
Dr. Rob is an amazing professor who has shown genuine care for learning and the well being of students. I came into this math course very afraid of the material but he created such a helping community even within the classroom that I was able to finish the course with a good understanding. Def take him if you can!

DR Rob I (Nappy) THANK GOD for you coming into MY Life what I thought I couldn't do I DID. YOU Dr. R are passionate ALL AROUND CARING loving person. GOD BLESS U. MY FAV Brother MUCH LOVE !
Dr. Rob is a very caring and attentive professor and you can tell he wants everyone to not only understand the material and do well in this class, but continue to thrive in academia and pursue their dreams. If you are nervous about taking a math class or you're interested in statistics but are intimidated this is the class for you.
Dr.Rob is a very caring and attentive professor. Passionate about math and really knows his stuff. Wouldn't take him again just bc he speeds through the lectures, and acts kinda like you should know this stuff already. Doesn't give good study tips.
I could not ask for a better math class, let alone a better math professor than Roberto Rubalcaba. He is a dedicated man who will go to great lengths to ensure every student passes his class. His homework is very simple to follow, tests are lenient as well, and he is a man with great passion. Get him while you still can.
Dr. Rob is by far the best professor ive ever had. Ive never been good at math and use to hate going to math class. Until i took Dr Robs class. I looked forward to going to class. Dr. Rob is the best teacher, very understanding, and caring professor. If you are lucky enough to take his class do it and i promise you wont regret it.
Dr. Rob makes things easy to understand, he puts in the time so that no one gets left behind! He is accessible in and out of class. He cares and it really shows! Show up, watch the videos, do the homework, and you will pass with a good grade. Dr. Rob is a truly amazing teacher and the best math teacher I have ever had!
Dr Rob is by far the best teacher I have ever taken, I have never done well in math and I can't recommend him enough. Very passionate about teaching and I have nothing but respect for him! I plan on only trying to get him as a professor for any other math classes I need. Always available for tutoring/questions and strives to get you on track! 10/10
Dr Rob is the best math teacher I've ever had. The passion he has for all his students is remarkable and the work he does as a community leader, Professor, Dr, is inspirational. During Ramadan, I was fasting and he was so understanding and gave so many extensions on assignments. Don't only take his class but take it for honors! He is unforgettable!
He doesn't put in any grades. You don't have any clue what your grade is until the end. He is very disorganized. Ended up with an A, but I would never take his class again and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Amazing professor, one of my favorites! We use Hawkes Learning for straightforward grading and lessons. oom lessons are given on each question of the homework. Making sure you understand the lesson, and it should be simple to learn. Both professor and students are amazing. I love my Zoom class! I recommend this professor to everyone!
Dr. Rob redefines math, focusing on real-world applications to make it meaningful before memorization. He embraces divergence, building connections that inspire students to see math's value. A brilliant mind who could excel anywhere, he chooses City College to uplift and empower. If you meet him, you'll leave inspired for life.
DR. Rob is one of those once in a lifetime professors where you will receive and learn as much as you put in and participate. He goes above and beyond for all his students and understands more than anyone the realities of life. Funny, easy to work with, reasonable workload, clear grading scale, multi-field intelligent. Highly recommend! JH
An incredibly passionate professor. He cares deeply about students and ensures their success REGARDLESS of their situation. Truly inspirational, and very informative. Breaks down subjects into bits, and describes them until you are confident you can understand. 10/10 would take any math class with him if I'm able to. Take him!!! Move your schedule.
He's genuinely such a great professor and wants his students to do well! If you struggle in math he is perfect, I hate math but he explains everything so simple it makes everything so easy. Just do all your homework, attend class and take good notes and you'll be fine.
Best professor ever! He is tech-savvy, extremely accessible, and creates a great environment for his students. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Rob and this class! The practice exams are basically identical to the actual exams. Dr. Rob also helped me overcome my math anxiety. I hope I get to take him again!
Dr. Rob truly wants his students to succeed. He's very passionate about math and supportive. As long as you attend class and do all the assignments you will succeed in this class.
Very patient with explaining things in class even if he has been over it multiple times. Offers a lot of extra credit work and no late penalties for 1 week. Midterms & finals that were proctored, you could bring your notebook, Google Sheets, formulas, SALT, & a scientific calculator. If you have never understood maths, this class will change that.
Dr. Rob is an amazing professor! I took both his Trigonometry and Statistics courses, he clearly cares about his students and their success. He assigns a lot of work, but he's flexible with deadlines and offers extra credit opportunities. If you put in the effort, you can absolutely earn an A. Dr. Rob is easily my favorite professor so far.

The most SWEETEST Prof. in the math department. Incredible at relating math to real world issues. Available for questions at almost any hour! He believes in all his students. Explains math in a way that is easy to understand. The math has it's tedious areas and workloads, but he makes it such an easy class. If he has available spots, TAKE HIM! GOOO
Dr. Rob is an amazing professor. I was worried about taking Stats because I always struggled with math, but he made the learning process so easy. We are halfway through the semester, and I currently have an A. I feel confident in my ability to finish the class with an A. Take him if you can, you won't regret it.
I've been finishing up my AA and needed to take a transferable math course. I got extremely lucky and ended up taking this course to meet that requirement. Dr. Rob is one of the best professors I've had at City College, and I can't recommend taking one of his courses enough. Life changing on so many levels!
Took a leap of faith going back to school, took math and FAILED before, he makes it make sense. I got an A. A- but it is still a win !
took rob for calculus 1 and was assigned a lot of homework but he is very flexible with deadlines and understanding of what someone has going on in their life. If you have the option to take his class, do it. The class in itself is difficult but having a caring professor makes his class a rewarding challenge.
I would have never made it through statistics with out this professor. He rally cared and took the necessary time to help you feel comfortable with math. Hardest subject I've encountered so far. He really made it easy and took the time with me to help me really earn that A. He is even available for extra tutoring at the math center on campus ifneed
