Robin you are a first rate instructor

A very egalitarian woman - a very good choice for a feminism teacher.

wonderful prof, lots of energy, love the dog

She makes class enjoyable, very intelligent, always willing to talk to students

1st year students should take this teacher! Very down to earth

She can be a hard marker, but she does recognize the hard working students.

Awesome teacher helpful is you need it. Really nothing to the course and she relates it to actual life. Wonderful.

It doesn't get better than this.

Do your homework and ask for help if you're lost. This is not a prof that will let you coast your way to a BA. Favourites? She favoured those who actually read the material and knew what was happening in class.

The last 8 baby comments are filled with bitterness. if any of you new how to write it would not be impossible to get an A. you just have to stop begining your sentences with But and ending all of your sentences with? as Chris Farley said "I don't know, that and a nickle will get you jack sqwat

Brilliant woman who encourages independent thought & initiative from her students. The more you put into thsi class, the more you will get out!

i think some few instructors in hte****ty school should be like him.

one of my fav profs, very professional.

Great professor, interesting topics, great discussion. Would definitely take other classes with her.

Robin Tapley is fun, interesting and a little crazy. I find her an awesome professor, and I'm very interested in taking more classes with Robin. I highly sugget Robin.

I think Robin is an amazingly interesting professor. She is fun, generally happy, and makes the class interesting.

Robin is a little nuts but I liked her. She knows her stuff.

Robin was an amazingly interesting teacher! She made coming to class an adventure. I'd definitely take another class with Robin, as long as she doesn't make us do another 100 question quiz in 50 minutes.

She's great. Very funny, very pretty/sophisticated. I want to be her friend. As a person, she's fantastic, but as a teacher...eehh. her lectures are fun, but she really gets off topic and doesnt end up explaining much very well. Great shoes/accessories. Overall, good shopping buddy, bad person to be teaching you. Dedicated to her students success.

Excellent prof!

She is the ABSOLUTE BEST teacher I have ever come across in my post-secondary education :D

absolutely fantastic

Great Prof! Makes phil a lot easier. Follow her pattern in class then you'll get a high mark.

oh my hocky lover...the class is not easy and her lecture is a bit hard to catch the point but yes she's absolutely willing to help!

Although she can get a bit off topic, Great teacher! Always willing to help you when ever you have a problem!

Robin Tapley is absolutley amazing! She's hilarious which makes every class enjoyable to go to. Explains all material well, and if you are not understanding materal she will go out of her way to make sure you do. Personable and over all an awesome professor!

Robin is such a great prof! She is always helpful and you really learn a lot of valuable real-life stuff. She does get off topic from time to time, but you can tell it's to make the class pay attention when students are drifting away. She has a method to her madness:) If you are at TRU, don't miss out on taking one of her classes!

Her course was hard for me, at least in part because it was my first phil class and was at an advanced level. however, I dont think I've ever learned so much from a single class and she really makes you think. Also, she's personalble and thoroughly enjoyable.

Funny teacher.Classes better than watching tv. she makes learning fun. classes are easy, just attend, and youll get an excellent mark!

robin is a very good teacher when shes on topic but is consistently about 10 min late and once she gets there spends another 10 talking about her botox or playing with the alarm on her phone. If you dont understand something she says she will make sure you understand before moving on. overall good teacher.

Got off topic every once in a while, but it was usually somewhat to the conversation. Even though I was a first year in a second year class with people who knew way more than me, I wasn't afraid to ask questions. She made sure we understood before moving on.

Amaaaazing professor. I loooved this class so much and if I had room in my course schedule I would take philosophy with Robin every year. She is very nice and has a really great sense of humor and makes the class really fun. The final exam was very easy but the midterm assignments were a little harder. Great class discussions. Super awesome course.

She is such an amazing teacher! Before that class I didn't really know what Phil was, but she made me love it! Very funny, and her quizzes and assignments are very straight forward. Easy to achieve a good mark.

She's awesome! She explains everything well and uses lots of examples. She also makes sure that everyone understands before moving on and welcomes discussion.

LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!!!

Robin Tapley was a great prof in general. She was passionat eabout her subject and made the classes interesting. However, she would often go off topic and start telling us the details of her private life (sometimes intimate details).

Robin is a great professor. I Loved philosophy because of her. Was an easy course and I would definitely take again. Smart prof. Welling to help. And gives good marks! What's more?!

Funny lady, but gets distracted easily. She made the course really enjoyable though, always making the class laugh.

Robin is amazing and I highly recommend her class! I have never taken Phil before but she definitely explains everything very well. She explains things very clearly and helps you understand the tough concepts. If you don't go to class you will not pass because the textbook won't help you at all. Also she is hilarious and so fun!!

She is hands down my favorite prof EVER. She's hilarious and so knowledgeable. She made me fall in love with Philosophy. Phil itself can be confusing, but she does an amazing job explaining things and is always always there if you need any extra helpexplanation. I always look forward to her classes! Taken atleast one every semester of my uni time.

She's a nice lady and she knows her stuff, but she often gets distracted and gets off topic for a long time. Her class is fairly easy, but its pretty important to attend the lectures. Her feedback on assignments is always super vague too. Doesn't really tell you what you did wrong or how to improve.

Honestly, Robin was my favourite part of the semester. She is funny and makes lectures interesting. You should attend lectures in case a question on a quiz comes up from lecture, but it isn't absolutely mandatory. Even the textbook isn't mandatory. I missed several classes and just read my notes and passed with an A+.

Well... she definitely has personality. Her classes are never dull - that's for sure. Only complaint is that marks come from true/false tests when there's usually multiple answers to the question. The readings were super difficult to understand for a first year course (got more than a few headaches), but I still managed to pass with an A-

Robin is phenomenal! Her lectures had me pondering life and laughing hysterically all at once. The readings were very interesting (especially if you have an interest in philosophy) and not too long. Tests are easyT or F questions. She makes herself available outside of class to answer questions. All around a great professor and lovely lady!

Robin is super awesome. Whether you've taken Philosophy before or not, she makes all concepts easy to understand. When getting assignments back, she can be a bit vague on feedback BUT just ask her and she's more than willing to meet outside of class to explain. She has me inspired and really thinking and dying of laughter all at once. Must take!!

Wonderful prof! Robin conducts her classrooms like she's a talkshow host. She's hilarious and witty, and recognizes when material is boring or dry. She has always been helpful outside of class, and is responsive to emails. If you build a good relationship with her, you're golden.

She's very eye opening, and ready to debate!

You can not go wrong with Robin as your Prof. She is very funny, and also has all her lectures on moodle. Testing was very straight-forward and fair. You don't have to attend class to pass but i suggest attending anyway because she is so entertaining

Robin is absolutely hilarious and makes a boring class quite fun. True or false quizzes for each unit, which are easy if you attend class and listen. Reading the textbook is not necessary. All of her lecture materials are on moodle which is nice.

Robin is a great lecturer and has the ability to make any class fun and engaging however her marking scheme is unclear and she reiterates the same point - quite rudely- without guiding you and helping you understand what she is actually looking for...

Robin made it super easy to understand the different philosophers and her everyday examples make things even easier to understand. Her lecture notes are really good and always on moodle, so it's easy to bring the notes to class and not miss out on the stuff she's saying. She's hilarious, fair and amazing. Her tests are all T/F and pretty typical.

Has high expectations, attendance/textbook not mandatory but definitely recommended. I love Robin and she has been a total highlight of my semester, one of the best lecturer's I have ever had, and always willing to help you out if you ask for it.

Robin Is a great Professor. She cares deeply about her students and any questions or confusions should be taken to her. Robin also is very open to class discussion and encourages exactly what Philosophy is about, the study of ideas. I would recommend her to anybody.

Robin is an amazing teacher. She is very caring about her students, if you have an concerns about the class just ask her, she’ll help anyway she can. She talks about her personal life in class, but it makes her more relatable and approachable. She wants the class to be more than just shoving you information, she wants it to be a good experience.

Kind, smart, and understanding professor. She just gets distracted a lot, talks about her personal life at length, and is not very organized with the syllabus or due dates. Great detailed feedback on assignments. Interesting and funny. Very good, engaging prof when she is present and instructing, just very distractable and it can get frustrating.

Robin is a difficult prof to rate. She's very kind and helpful. Recently she's had less in person classes than usual do to sickness and a bad hip which is understandable. She only gives a few assignments a semester which is really nice, however, she will grade your assignments very tough. She's not afraid to give you a B with no marks against you.

This class was very enjoyable. Proff was very enthusatist, and made her excpeteations of you very clear.

Very Kind and enthusiastic, expectations were clear and accommodating

I enjoyed Robins class, very easy to do well (I put very little effort in and did well). Grades are based off of journals and short T/F quizzes. She dropped our lowest quiz grade and the 3rd journal was optional. We had half of our lectures online due to her knee issues, and she doesn't believe in finals so its a very low stress class.
