This class is really basis Health Ed class and Professor Parks does a good job of giving you a brief overview of all the important things. She makes class fun and entertaining. She is an excellent professor.
She is one of the coolest professors that I've had. Definately take her class, she makes class fun and gives answers to tests.
Awesome professor and class. makes it very interesting and she's open about sex discussions. she even hands out condoms. highly recommended... easy A+.
She's very nice lady, very helpful. Helps whoever goes up to her. Her lecture can be little hard to take notes(because there are lots of jargons that you don't even know how to spell) but easy to get a good grade. Overall very very nice professor.
Easy class, very cool prof. Down to earth.
She's such a great lady! Cares alot for her students, will take the time to learn names even if theres 100+ students. Passed out condoms for Halloween. Haha.
Very nice teacher, she is always willing to help you, even when you're taking a test. Not a hard class, just take notes and you'll be fine.Don't be absent on test reviews, she tells you what to study and sometimes she even gives you the answers.
She is cool and interesting. I learned a lot in this class. It is a chic class. Recommend this class to every female.
great teacher, fun and interesting. practically gives you the answers on the tests... very nice woman, easy "A"
Excellent teacher, very spunky. She loves her job even tough she taught a class at 8 in the morning. You dont even have to take notes because she gives you the questions for all the tests, even the final. I recommend to take her.
She is a GREAT professor! Very caring for students. She cares that you pass her class with a good grade. She gives extra credit ooportunities. You should not pass her class with less than an B.
I'm still trying to figure out what all these people are talking about. She was totally unorganized, messy, late, and unprepared. We started class 20 minutes later every day, and normally I would be happy, but when it came time for tests, we had 30 minutes to review what we could have been doing all those other days in class. Very very weird
Loved the teacher she was so helpful and always willing to do anything for her students!
easy class i ditched all the time and passed with a B. Not even really sure if she takes roll. Can be really weird at times and always talking about her life experiences, and there's really not much homework.
The best!
Very passionate about her topic and she definitely does take the time to get to know her students-- but she also really support them. If you are looking for a fun, easy but very enrichening Health Course; Robyn's your ideal professor!

SHE is a great teacher and her objective is for students to learn!! She is very helpfull and always answers your questions, its very interesting and her attitude makes it more enjoyable!!! i love her class i wish i had more teachers like her :)
Professor Parks is an enthusiastic and passionate teacher. Her classes were enjoyable while also being informative. Only 3 tests- FINAL not cummulative. One community based project that is super easy and fun!!! Not a stressful or hard class by any stretch. She is also willing to help out students with anything. Take this class!
She's one of the easiest teachers you'll ever take. TAKE HER lol. The material is easy and its not hard at all. The only thing hard on you is the price of the book lol.
She is a wonderful professor, she cares about her students a lot. Helps you with anything you need and gives you a couple second chances if needed. She is good at explaining everything and knows her material well. NO word made for how nice she is, take her you will like the class and the professor.
She is a great teacher, she teaches from the heart and practically gives you the answers to the tests. Even if you just go to class and listen you'll pass with an A. She knows what she is talking about. SHe loves her students and her work.
Very boring and not very hot. But very easy
I love this teacher she is the best teacher you will have at CSUN!!!!!!Her class is easy and exciting. If i had a chance i would take her again. Take her.....she is the best. I love how open she is towards her students
She is one of the nicest professors i've taken at CSUN! her class is easy! U'll want to go to class, but just in case u don't go often, go on the day before the test, she goes over the whole test! hard not to pass the class with an "A"
The class was great and she's a great professor, overall the class was interesting and the tests were a breeze if you just go the day before the tests. she's fun and the class was cool.
Very nice and helpful prof. She is fun and makes the class interesting. Work is easy, and so are the tests. Just make sure you show up to class, especially the days before the tests.
This prof. was very helpful indeed. she wanted us to learn what we didnt learn so we got to write bonuses. i would definitely recommend this prof.
Great proffessor. The class is very, very easy, but yet you'll still learn a lot. She is very helpful, caring, and really does know what she is talking about. Highly recommended.
she is the best prof i have ever had in my life as a student!!! very caring and thoughtful. there are really no words to express how great of a teacher she is. i would DEFINITELY recommend her in a heartbeat! shes seriously the best prof ever and definitely my favorite. overall, the class is very informative and interesting..definintely take it!!!!
Great lectures, very interesting, a nice and enthisiastic and mildly crazy woman. 3 tests she gives good study guides for. Study these and use the book and you will ace it. Must put 10 hrs of volunteer work in. Recommended for lower division GE.
She is a really really good teacher and very understanding. She is laid back. Tests are easy as long as you came to class and reviewed a little or at least read the book. she focuses on teaching you as a person about health on the test not what you dont know. Extemely helpful. I would def recommend her.
Very Nice LADy! Funny keeps class interested. Didnt mind going 2 class. dont have 2 show eveyday! No HW just one paper piece of cake. Highly recomend
AMAZING professor!!! I learned so much from her. She is incredibly caring and helpful. She wants to see her students do well. I would take again in a heartbeat!!!!
She is the best teacher i have so far!! she cares for her students, and the class is not that bad. Just go to class, pay attention to the material and you get your A!
This class was relatively easy... I hardly attended class but made sure to take exams and do the work...I ended up with a B and thats because I really didnt put a big effort into the class...overall easy class
one of the easiest and kindest professors ever on the face of the planet. If you get lower than a B in this class, you need help. She is so helpful and also very felexable when it comes down to exams and assigments. She gives us 10 points of extra credit on exams, which are multiple choice. overall, very very easssssssy classs. TAKE HER!!!!!
she's really nice and really helpful. if you wanna take this class go for it. as far as work, just pay attention and read the stuff she hands out and the class will be easy. i recommend this class.
She is a great professor! She genuinely cares about her students and wants them to do well. That class is not hard and she is very lenient with late work.
Amazing Teacher! Very helpful and will basically tell you everything on the test in the review, which is always the class before the test. Down to earth and just an all around great person and teacher.
The absolute BEST professor I have ever had. She is so caring and helpful. She genuinely wants everyone to do well in the class. One time when I was having a bad day she chatted with me in her office. I learned a lot in the class and it was so easy. I wish I had every class with her!
She is great absolutely fabulous teacher knows her material very well comes to class prepared to make sure everyone is going to learn. take her for sure if you want an A on your transcript because you dont need a brain or eyes to do good on the exams
Amazing teacher funny, and easy, but you have to actuallly briefly study for the tests otherwise it will be too hard to guess
very nice, understanding, and interesting! her class is super easy, but you still learn a lot about health! about 4 easy essays and 4 tests. she reviews what questions are on the test, and gives extra credit. the only con is that shes sometimes disorganized and late to class, which can make you very impatient! overall great teacher. i recommend her
Great teacher love her to death but I got 100% on everything and recieved a C in the class. Shes super irresponsoble. I just emailed her as we speak Im mad
love the class love this lady. Its so much fun and so easy. Parks is great funny honest and coooool. great class great teach. very easy and fun. Id take it again anyday. just loved it
Professor Parks is a very nice lady but is extremely disorganized. She gets confused quite frequently and never goes over the material that is going to be on the test...until the day before. I dont know if she is meant to be a college professor but she is funny and understanding. Its an easy class so take it if you want an A.
Parks is awesome. She gives an identical study guide before each test. She is very easy to talk to and is very caring for your grade. She can be somewhat disorganized at times, but this class is a guaranteed A if you just do your job. She doesn't give that much work either, and I ended up recieving an A. Highly recommended.
She is a nice women but very disorganized. I barley went to class and missed an assignment or two and still got a B in her class. If you are looking for an easy A here it is. the book is not used and she tells you everything that is going to be on the test the class before. She is a easy grader and assign are easy too. Good class for GE credits.
She's made of awesome sauce. She's really nice and funny.
She's a really nice lady! She's funny and teaches us with humor, she's great!.. except for one thing. She's so disorganized! She mistook my final project for an 'extra credit assignment' and I got a D in the class!!!!! >:0 All because of a mistake she made. The semester ended before I had a chance to talk to her so i got stuck with the D.
easy class, teacher a lil disorganized but overall an ok professor. text book not needed
Sweet lady! She has a hard time keeping her class in order with all the crazy, talkative freshman but I enjoyed her class. She's open to talking about anything, and if you do the assignments and actually review the study for the test you'll get an easy A.
She reviews what material she wants you to focus on in her class by utilizing Power Point slides. She brings in more information to her class than just text lessons and lectures. She?s really funny, too.
Nice lady but highly disorganized. Shows up late EVERYDAY and unprepared. Has many excuses. Never collects work. Students become lazy and disorganized as a reflection of the professor. Very easy but you will not learn.
i'm in this class right now and this professor is rediculous. there's 3 or 4 (i'm guessing) freshmen in the class who can't shut up. they think they're the only people in the room. and she does NOTHING about it. she lets them keep talking so the class is basically their own conversation until there's no more time to actually teach something.
This class is very easy. The teacher is disorganized but very nice. Show up and take notes. She reviews before each exam. Don't buy the textbook. You don't need it. There are a few random assignments she gives out. It's easy work to do for an A.
This class is super easy. The professor is really nice she can be a little disorganized but she helps you in whatever you ask. She uses PowerPoint so book is not used much. Reviews for the test with the class. She has one mandatory assignment to pass the class and you take 3 test.
Very nice lady, makes the class interesting. But she had a dark side, you can tell. But she is always always late and never responds to emails even after you have sent it a few times. It is so hard to get ahold of her. Also write everything down that is due, she wont remind you until the day of.
I love Professor Parks alot she is the best and it was an easy A .. I enjoyed her class alot!!!
Great teacher, very easy class.
Robyn is a really nice lady, but when it comes to teaching she's all over the place. She comes to class 15 mins late all the time. She gets so distracted and she's not very good at teaching. She uses powerpoints as lecture, but she goes through them so fast its hard to take notes. You pretty much have to teach yourself everything.
She's a great professor, takes an interest in student's comments/opinions. Makes the subject interesting to learn about. I took this class (Health & Society) and never bought a textbook but paid attention in class/took notes and got decent scores on tests and I got a B.
She's a cool teacher. I took her Friday class (Women & Health) The book is not needed. She gives a study guide and is helpful. She's always late to class...about 15 minutes. If you want an easy A take this class.
She deserves an award for being so genuinely sweet and caring! Knows what she's talking about and wants to teach what she knows. She cares more about her students then any other teacher. Very understanding and is great even just to talk to.
She is very sweet and seems genuinely interested in her students, except your entire grade in the class depends on three tests. She takes attendance usually but it doesn't seem to count for very much. Disorganized and forgetful, can be distracting in appearance. Hardly ever answers emails.
Took the Friday class too, overall she is a sweet and kind teacher but a little disorganized. Entire grade is based on three tests and some extra credit. She does however tries to make sure you absorb some of the information in your daily life to use. Easy A, just study the guide she passes out.
Her class is very easy to pass. Her exams come straight from the study guides she gives out and she extra credit opportunities to better your grade. The textbook is hardly used. Her notes come from a powerpoint and she tends to rush through them sometimes. Overall, she's a great professor.
One of the most caring teachers I've had. I admire her compassion. Our class definitely took advantage of that :/ next semester she will probably be stricter. There are only 3 tests that come straight from the study guide. If you do the S.G. you will be FINE! Attend class and genuinely try, she will appreciate it! Wish she would condense the notes
Really friendly. But I thought she got too distracted when sharing stories/examples in class. Slow pwrpt runthru b/c would wait for slowest student copying notes. :/ Some info mentioned in pwrpt i couldnt find in txtbk but luckily had notes from class. So def. attend class to get all necessary info. Takes attendance/day. SuperEZ Assignments.
She's really nice, sweet, and easy. If you didn't do well on a test, than she'll let you write a paper of what you didn't learn and will give you extra credit points for it. I really recommend this class if you want an easy grade :)
She is a very good teacher and is really cool just attend class and you will get a good grade
Best professor so far! She is there to actually teach students and is very interested in the class. Very easy course. She gives you study guides, chances for extra credit and not boring at all. Some reading but not really. Its a must take class.
REALLY easy! She is a funny and amazing professor. She has lots to say and loves the idea of a class discussion rather than lecture. She is very honest and just fun.
She's a great and fun lady but you won't learn much in class. She's so caring and really sweet though. The book is necessary for the study guides. Easy A
Great teacher really knows her stuff. Take her she is really easy and knows her material.
Good teacher. Grades based on three exams(multiple choice), attendance, and a couple of assignments that are easy. Just show up to class and do the study guides. You'll need the book to do them. The study guides are basically like the tests. Easy and interesting class.
I almost wish I hadn't taken this class so that I could take it again! This class was an easy A if you show up, use the study guides, do one community service project, and read your text book. The professor is really a great teacher and she's super funny. I do recommend spending the money on the textbook it will get you through your study guide!
Professor Parks is the most sweetest amazing teacher at csun. she makes her class really exciting i reccommend to sit in the front if its a big class. only 3 test so the study guides and you will be fine also reading is mandatory!! love her sense of humor! TAKE HER you wont regret it i promise:)
This is one of the few classes you will find that is easy to past & understand. There are midterm but if you do poorly on them and turn all the written homework assignments, she will help you. I 100% recommend this class if you need it for your GEDs. Won't regret it but you must turn in the assignments and be in class at all times
One of the best professor at csun she will help you with the best that she can and is very approachable.You'll learn a lot in this class.
She is SUCH a sweetheart!!!!! I loved her class she can be late sometimes but it's only because of her leg, she's funny and really wants you to understand the material. Gives a study guide, your notes are golden in this class. The atmosphere of this class is so chill
She would go off topic sometimes and fail to explain very well. If she didn't take roll, I probably wouldn't have attended as much as I did. I learned most if not all from the book. If you want an easy class, here it is, but your learning experience will suffer.
Great professor who actually WANTS to teach and loves doing it. She cares more about us learning and getting something out of the class. Overall, class was pretty easy. Study the study guides and read the chapters and it's an easy A. Community service assignment is mandatory but very flexible. Recommended!
Best teacher ever!!!! Honestly I would recommend her to anyone!! She makes class fun and enjoyable. :)
She really does want you to learn the material. She's really nice but it can get super dull and a drag to be there late in the afternoon. Only 2 exams and a final. Ended up with a B didn't open the textbook once. Easy class.
Robyn is pretty cool. Study the study guide, read the book, take notes in class from her powerpoint, and do the community service (you can literally do anything you want for as long as you want.. she's super flexible). She offers extra credit after every test and she wants you to do the best you can to succeed.
She speaks very softly so sit as close as you can. Her tests are easy (mainly because it is common sense) but read up for statistics and details and vocabulary. She's very sweet and easy. She teaches based off her powerpoints. I would recommend her if you want to just pass her class and not learn very much.
She's amazing! She's super understanding and will always try to help you raise your grade. Don't be shy with her! The more she gets to know you the more willing she is to help you. Oh and she loves to talk! Study her study guides and use the book and you're set to go! Her tests are not hard.
She's one of those professors who really cares about her students and wants you to pass the course. There are 3 exams-do the study guide and you're guaranteed to do well-and community service. She's very nice and caring, but do participate to make things fun. p.s. No driving and texting:p
Good professor. Makes you think and discuss in class, although not that many participated. She basically spoon-feeds you but this is a lower division class so she isn't too picky about that.
She basically spoon-feeds you but this is a lower division class so it's not surprising.
She is a great professor. Extremely nice and helpful. And she's absolutely hilarious. She really does care about her students and will work her way around to give you the better grade only if you try. Attendance isn't that important, but it makes a difference because she uses that to give you extra points. 3 exams/based on exams and powerpoints
She is a great professor and makes the class extremely interesting! Almost no homework, it's just worth learning. I recommend her, you'll have a blast!
SHE ROCKS! BEST. PROFESSOR. EVER. Take her!!!! Very fun, learn alot easy class.
I loved this class. It was extremely easy, from the lectures to the assignments to the extra credit to the exams. She's very down to earth, and understanding.
Literally, the sweetest teacher ever. She strives to have her students do well and she is very straight forward with what she wants from you for each assignment. Dont be afraid to talk to her or ask questions. She is very kind and helpful. I wish there were more professors like her but there aren't so if you have the chance, TAKE HER CLASS.
She's a very sweet and funny prof. Her lectures are easy & exams as well. She gives study guides. This semester we only took 2 exams since we were a bit behind. I recommend you to buy the 10th ed. book (rent on A+ textbook; cheap) since her ppts are based off from there. She always comes 7-15 minutes late. Offers extra credit. Take her!!
Professor Parks is the best professor at CSUN! she strives to really educate her students rather than just lecture off of a power point and make you take notes. She gives extra credit because she really wants you to pass but only if you earn it. 1 project, 3 pg essay, 2 current events, 1 take home midterm and 8-10 pg paper. engage in participation!
She is hilarious! The tests are easy if you study the book and listen to her review before the exam. There are 3 tests, and there's no homework. You also have to do a community service and write something about it. She gives extra credit. She likes it when students are participating in class, and she takes attendance every lecture.
This class is easy, if you do the study guide she gives for the three exams. Do the community service project and the extra credit! She is hilarious as well, so you won't get bored.
This class is super easy. She wants all her students to pass and provides extra credit opportunities to take advantage of. As long as you do all the assignments there is no way you won't get an A. She isn't a picky grader....I definitely recommend her.
Prof. Parks is an amazing professor! She is really trustworthy and understanding of personal problems. There was 1 midterm, 1 paper which was not that long and 2 short summaries. This class was super easy and she is definitely recommended :)
Professor Parks is HILARIOUS! She does go off topic WAY Too much though. you don't learn much in her class. she gives study guides, which literally gives you the answers for the test. your grade is literally based off of 3 tests, extra credit, and some "project". if you show up to class, she sometimes adds 10 extra points. I recommend.
Great teacher, easy class. Pros: she is easy. Work is simple and interesting . she gives a study guide. her test are easy. she is funny and always in a happy mood. She hates phones in class. Cons: she sometimes can be a bit rude.
Professor Parks is hilarious, she gets your attention during lectures by applying real life circumstances. At times she may repeat something twice but it's because she has two classes of the same subject and forgets if she's mentioned something already. Gives extra credit and the essays due for her class are easy.
Prof Parks is amazing! Go to class and you will pass. Gives extra credit (an essay) if you did poorly on her tests. But her tests are pretty easy. Study guides help a lot. This class was fun definitely would take again!
Professor parks is HILARIOUS. Her class consists of extra credit "project", 3 exams and a final. She gives extra credit after each exam to improve your grade. She is always late and unorganized, but her lectures are so funny and she really cares about her students. Come to class, take notes, don't text or she'll call you out.
fun teacher to have :) never stressed out about her class, she was easy going and did assign homework but if you skip class you will miss the assignment forsure! doesnt update moodle regarding hw, your either in class or not to know what is due. also has a sign in sheet so GO TO CLASS :D
She is so sweet and understanding and the class was very informative, probably one of my favorite professors at this school. But she does go on tangents sometimes.
such a sweet person. cares a lot for her students and always available outside of office hours. funny lectures, hw is easy and she gives a study guide before every test.
Take her for HSCI 231. Trust me, she is a sweet person. Funny , easy going. You will learn a lot just by sitting in her class. 3 midterms and one final. Multiple choice questions ans short answers. She gives study guides before each exam. Study guides are almost the same to exam questions. Super easy A ! Good luck
Easily the best professor I've had. I'm going into my sophomore year, and teachers for the next 3 years will have a lot to live up too. SO caring. Understands being sick/personal issues if you couldn't make it to class. Extra credit after a test if you did poor. Show up & don't take advantage of her kindness. She wants the best for you.
Robyn is such a sweetheart she really cares about all of her students. She doesn't give many assignments and really tries to lower her students' stress levels with her sense of humor. I would definitely take her as a professor again.
Robyn is a great professor. She can come off as strange but she's really sweet & funny. She puts in effort to make the class entertaining. She's really understanding with the exams & tries to make it to where we can pass. Gives a lot of extra credit options. Not a lot of assignments. Just attend her class & take notes. Would love to have her again.
test are 80 question. she provides a study guide and offers extra credit. pay attention and learn the class itself is interesting
She made the class so much fun, from the first day till the last. Exams are 80 questions each but she gives you a study guide that tells you exactly what to study for, one of the best professors I've ever had.
Easy class, only two tests and one final. If you do the study guides she provides you should do fine on the exams because they are just like the study guides.
Robyn is SO funny and makes class enjoyable, while also making sure you still learn and understand the material. She understands that you have other classes and wants to make this class fairly stress free. Wish I could take her again!
Wow ! This professor is WONDERFUL. I appreciate her care for every student and for all the extra credit opportunities and for making school a little bit easier . She's funny and most importantly knows her subject well . I'll truly miss her this semester , she really made me look forward to Monday class and school ! She makes you smile at least once
Sweetest professor ever. She truly cares about her students' well being and makes the class fairly easy. 2 tests and 1 final, all 80 questions (if you know the answers to the study guide you'll pass), and one project. Her lectures are interesting and engaging as well. I will truly miss the class.
Robyn has to be the best professor at CSUN, if i was able to have her as my professor for every class I def would! Easiest A, she makes class time go by so fast because of her interesting lectures. She is by far the sweetest and most caring Professor I've ever had. TAKE HER! She gives you many extra credit opportunities don't miss her class!
This professor is amazing! If you have to take HSCI 231 take it with Robyn. She is absolutely the sweetest and truly cares for her students. She makes lecture interesting and helps you pass her exams if you need it. This course includes: 1 paper, 2 midterms, and the final.
Professor Parks is amazing!!! Really cares about her students learning and succeeding. Very funny and always entertaining shares real personal stories that students can relate too. Provides a study guide and it compliments the exams :). Grace consists of 3 exams 1 appear and offers extra credit. Great professor definitely recommend !!
robyn is a pretty funny professor. if you're into women's studies then take her women and health class. not only does she teach about women or health, she talks about feminists issues and she's very understanding and gives "mental health days", that you can skip class if you feel you have to. just show up and you'll pass.
She's probably one of the best professors at CSUN. I learned so much in this class, I suggest everyone interested in women's health, or health in general take Robyn. She truly cares about all of her students. TAKE THIS CLASS!
Easiest professor I have ever taken. Gives extra credit on exams and lets you "correct" your exam. Everybody should get an A.
The class is super easy and she's a great professor! Definitely recommended taking a class with her! Really fun! Everyone should get an A. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and gives out study guides for exams.
You need to show up to class to get good notes, but if you don't you'll survive. Everything discussed is in the assigned book. She's super funny and makes the class enjoyable. She takes attendance, but to this day I'm not sure if it was for credit. If you're going to take Women's Health, take it with her! 2 tests and a final, all with study guides!
QUEEN!!!! One of the most enthusiastic professors Iv'e had, she is splendid! She wants you to understand, and will answer your questions, she is very helpful. Hilarious!! Wish I had her for other classes, her stories are insane, and she's funny hahahaha I'm going to miss her! You rock professor Parks!
Extremely basic, simple, easy class although everyone pretty much fails her tests but she'll then offer extra credit. She's kind of disorganized but an extremely caring teacher who would go out of her way to help you. Supper easy class. Lots of extra credit.
Prod Parks is the best professor to take HSCI 231 with! Super easy class and not boring. As long as you go to class and get the notes, you'll be fine with the tests. But all the material is in the book. 2 tests and 1 final. All have study guides. Definitely take her class you won't regret it.
Rarely give feedback on professors, but Robyn is AWESOME as a prof. & as a person. just take notes and purchase the book and you should pass. really a fun class
She made this class so interesting. She was really funny and would always make jokes. I loved this class because of her. She really cares about her students learning the material in this class and she is a great teacher.
Her lectures are PowerPoint but she mainly has discussions about the topics with the students and about her own experiences throughout the class. She is very flexible and understands the stresses of students, but could be unorganized at times. She is always willing to answer questions and wants the best for her students.
Robyn is awesome. Shes funny and her lectures are PowerPoints but she tries her best to give you the information shes going to test you on. I learned a lot even though I did the minimum. Shes great for sure take her if you get the chance.
Parks is a very nice person, shes extremely flexible and cool BUT if you actually want to learn I don't recommend taking her. I was super excited for this class but did not learn a single thing. She is super disorganized and goes on hour long tangents. If you're looking for an easy A where you don't do a thing or learn a thing, take her.
Robyn really cares for you and wants to see you actually learning. However, the lectures are mostly all powerpoint and you have to study off those notes or the book. 1 paper and 3 tests (that includes the final). There are a lot of chances to get extra credit, just ask :) If you can keep on top of the lectures, you'll be fine!
She is a nice person and easy going, tells funny stories. However, she is kind of disorganized and takes long to give back grades. She doesnt put the slides on canvas so you have to come to class. Also, you dont really have to buy the book as long as you pay attention and take good notes. Theres 3 exams and an essay.
Never again. She is sweet but that does not mean she is good. Grades were never posted on canvas. She has an assistant that is pretty useless. She did not have a guideline for the paper. I don't even know my scores for the paper since nothing was posted on canvas. How do I know she entered grades correctly? The whole semester was so frustrating.
She is very funny and a nice person but she never gave any information regarding the paper that was due until the end of the semester. She would just say, its due one day. Grades were never posted on canvas so we were unaware of what we could do to improve. Wouldnt take again
I'm still trying to understand how I got a B in the class. I got and A in the first two exams. The final was a breeze but I don't know what I got since she did not record it on canvas. I wrote a good paper and even used APA when she said we did not have to even cite. I don't know what happened to my grade. ������
show up to class, either take notes or take pictures of the powerpoints because they will help you with the exams. shes super chill and funny, doesnt post anything on canvas and her assistant wasnt any help. she does lecture about important topics and makes it realistic/ relatable to the students. if she isnt clear just go talk to her!!
Blew a condom into a balloon and popped it spraying stuff you shouldn't use with condoms, ymmv. At least for her intro class it's very relaxed and doable. Really tries to connect with students and asks students how they should be graded besides mc and essays. Relates a lot of class to her experiences and stories. A lot of ec. Good fun prof for ge
This course was very fun to take. She is a great professor and her class is easy. Only problem is she doesn't post lectures or grades on canvas, so you don't really know your grade until you're done with the couse :/
Okay, here's the break down of the class. Exam's 1-3 25%. Written homework 25%. Attendance 5% of your grade. First exam very easy, she basically gives you the answers. However, the last two are a bit more difficult. Does not post power points of lectures. Does not you canvas for anything. She is sweet but at the end, we need to know our grades.
Course was fun and easy to take! The professor is really funny and I have learned a lot through the course itself! My only pet peeve is that grades were never posted on Canvas, but we would get Scantrons back from our test with the grade on them so it wasn't a complete mystery.
Minimal work. Lectures well. Makes class entertaining.
I love Robyn so much! I wish all teachers were like her. She is so hilarious, chill, & really cares about us. Just pay attention to the lectures & youll be fine. She gives points for test corrections. The final was put online this semester and I accidentally missed the deadline, Robyn reopened it for me. She genuinely wants us to pass and relax
Loved this class Robyn made it interesting and fun. Great professor who really cares about her students and is very approachable. Her test are extremely easy you just have to go over the study guide on canvas which is the same as the test. I really recommend taking her class its an easy A
Super sweet professor, but sometimes she can be a bit unorganized. Lectures are basically word for word from the book but cover what she really tests on, but you need the book to finish the study guide. She does not post the powerpoints and does take attendance. 2-3 exams, a short assignment, and the final.
Make sure to attend to class and I recommend bringing your laptop to type the notes. She can be fast in lecturing so typing makes it faster and easier. Do some of the extra credit, it will save you. 3 exams including the final. She is amazing! Take her and you will learn a lot. If you have any questions, ask her after class, she is approachable.
Such a nice and helpful professor. Cares about her students to pass the class. Offers extra credit if you approach her and tell her that you're not doing so well. There are only 3 exams but they are very hard because it usually covers more than 5 chapters and you have to remember everything. Love her personality but the class is pretty hard.
One of the best professors I have had. She is very easy-going and genuinely wants her students to pass. She gives 2 midterms, a final, and a project, but none of it is too difficult if you study. She also gives extra credit and curves tests.
She is the nicest professor that wants all her students to pass her class. She is a fair grader and gives you a lot of opportunities to pass her class so if you fail... WYD?? Easy A class as long as you study for her tests. She gives you plenty of time to study because the tests are usually 5+ chapters and there's a lot of info to memorize.
Professor Parks was great! Class was not difficult at all. Show up, pay attention, take notes, and do good on her exams. She always provides a study guide and goes over the exam the class before which is REALLY helpful. She's also very approachable. Went into her office once for emotional support and she was very friendly! :)
One of the best professors I've had so far! She gives amazing lectures that are fun and profound. Never a dull moment in this class as Robyn makes each lecture interesting and funny. You only take 3 tests but she gives you a study guide and an opportunity to make test corrections. You HAVE TO attend each class to do well in the class. Overall A+
She gives the best lectures. She has a funny sense of humor and she cares for her students individually as much as possible. Your grade is based off of 3 quizzes and a health paper.
Professor Parks is by far one of the best teachers I've taken at CSUN. She is very funny in her lectures and loves participation. She is very approachable and caring. Your grade will be based off of mainly 4 Exams including the Final and a paper which is fairly easy to do. Most of the exam questions are from the lectures and the textbook for depth.
She is the best professor I have had so far. She cares about everyone passing her class. Just read, take good notes, and you'll be fine!
Robyn is by far one of the best professors Ive had. She is hilarious and makes my days. I love her lectures. I seriously recommend you take her class. You wont regret it!
Professor Parks is such a sweet lady! It's also an easy A class. There are 2 exams and 1 final which are based off the book/powerpoints but its super easy bc she lets you do test corrections for extra credit. For the final she let us have a 1 page back/front study guide! You learn and easily pass! she does pass out a signing sheet so go to class
I loved Professor Parks. She was honestly the sweetest person ever. I don't do well on exams, but she really tries her best for you to do well and pass. Her lectures are great and funny. She really lets you know what will be on the test so you are ready. Just go to class and read the book. You will be fine. Great professor!
Professors gives a lot of opportunity to improve on grades and generous with exam preparation. She's charismatic and enjoyable to listen to.
I took her for Women's Health and Science 231 and it was basically the best sex ed class I never had. But it's also so much more than that! Robyn knows so much about the material she teaches, the class is set up in a smart and efficient manner, and all in all you can get a lot out of it. Very little work, though, wish there was more discussion. :)
Professor Parks is a sweet lady. She provided us with study guides similar to the exams. She made lectures very funny and interesting.
Took this class for fall semester. Was unorganized. The whole semester was a mess the lectures were boring. Went off topic too much. Didnt know when she was lecturing or talking about life. Doesnt give work. Just a major assignment and two exams. She gives a study guide so you will be set. She gets overwhelmed when students ask a lot of questions
Best professor I have ever had hands down. She really cares about her students and rarely gives any work.
Robyn was such a great professor who truly cares about her students. Her class did not have many assignments and midterm and final exam were easy.
This professor was .. strange. The class was easy but she was extremely unorganized. I wouldnt take this professor again.
Robyn is the kind of teacher that cares about you actually learning the work and actually making sure you pass. Rarely used the book but it does help. Come to lectures and take notes youll pass easily. Most generous human being Ive met.
She is so caring and so sweet, so it definitely shows how much she cares about her students. There weren't any assignments given, so you have to study very well for the 3 exams that she gives because your grade essentially depends on that only! I passed with minimal work being put in, so that says a lot. I would recommend this class for sure.
She's alright. Only 3 exams for the entire semester & 1 assignment. Only reason I wouldn't take her again is that she can be disorganized. Currently we are cramming up several chapters for the final exam. Tests have over 80 multiple choice questions that need to be completed within class time... so an hour or so. Other than that EASY A!
Robyn is so funny and caring. Her class consisted of 4 exams. She does go off topic but is a very knowledgeable person. It is an easy class.
Best professor ever! Would highly recommend.
Professor Parks is AMAZING!! She gives few assignments, but you will have a couple of exams through the course. She gives study guides that basically cover the exam. Professor really wants you to learn and is very understanding.
I love Robyn she was such a great professor Fall 2021 semester! I highly recommend that you take her because the lectures are very interesting and you're able to hear experiences from other students. If you have test anxiety this class will work for you because she goes over the tests in depth before the exam date.
Did not use the textbook once! Little to no homework, and 3 multiple choice exams! I would suggest to take this class if you want easy credit! She's a great person, however, her lectures are kind of useless. My only complain is that she's very unorganized. However, she is an EASY A. I see no reason to fail this class.
Robyn is hands down one of the sweetest professors ever. This class was super easy just make sure to pay attention to the class before the exam bc she goes over everything! (3 tests total) She cares for each one of her students. Definitely recommend
Professor Parks is an amazing professor. She is very kind, funny, and understanding. Her class has three exams and little homework. So it's very easy to get a good grade in her class. Just make sure to study and pay attention to her lectures.
The material was a little difficult, and you REALLY have to study hard for the tests. Despite that, I thought the professor was absolutely lovely, she made the class a lot more fun and we only get one homework assignment throughout the semester. She also has extra credit opportunities.
This professor is very sweet and genuinely wants her students to learn the information and not just memorize. There wasn't much homework but you definitely learn a lot of interesting things and as long as you listen you'll do fine on tests as well. She was always really nice and really appreciates having participation during her lectures. :))
There are only 3 exams for the semester and one homework assignment which is to just do a donation. Because there is no homework if you get a low grade for 1 quiz your grade will drop tremendously. She takes role before class. Lectures can be a drag but as long as your there you will get participation points.
So unorganized! Were supposed to have lectures 2x a week, but she made it once a week, so we got so behind that we didn't cover 5 chapters, didn't take the first test till over halfway through the semester, and she made us take the second test + the final on the same day. Homework is worth 0pts, only grades are tests + 100pt food pantry donation
She's amazing some test are hard but if you study you will do great and if you need to bring up your grade she will give you extra credit just pay attention during lectures you will do fine! Overall love her class
She was an amazing person. She is extremely sweet and funny, she makes her classes fun. However, she only gives tests and no homework. If you score low on any of your exams then you will basically not pass her class.
This professor was very entertaining and hardworking but only grades a few assignments which impacts heavily on grades
3 tests and 1 assignment where you donate something to the food pantry for credit. She provides study guides for every test so make sure you try to fill it out before the lecture where she goes over it, it'll help you with questions you may not know. She cares about the students and wants everyone to pass.
IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF FAITH DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. She is also extremely unorganized she has not updated her canvas page or the materials in it since 2020 nor does she respond to emails
She is very funny and uses real life examples. She doesn't really post assignments or material on canvas on time so take notes during lecture. Def would take her again!
If you want a professor that stay on topic for more than 5 seconds, can give more extra credit, answer emails, and is superiors then DONT take this professor. You will be overwhelmed by the fact that she is unorganized. She only gives three exams, no homework, so goodluck if you fail one exam.
the sweetest professor ive ever had. took her my first semester as a freshman and she really made adjusting manageable. lectures are interesting and engaging. no homework except a food donation assignment. graded on 3 easy peasy exams. highly highly recommend.
If you are considering taking this course, TAKE IT WITH ROBYN PARKS! She is a wonderful professor, I would suggest going to class everyday. Do the study guides, she will have exam review days so be sure to go! There are 3 exams in total, one assignment and then some extra credit.
Robyn is a wonderful professor who genuinely wants students to succeed. Attend class, do the study guides, and use resources like unstuck AI - you'll do great on the 3 exams. She's super helpful and cares about each student. Highly recommend this class!
Professor Robyn is inspirational, caring and admirable. Her outlook on life and human kind has been such an eye opening experience. She truly cares and as long as you communicate with her, she support you and is so flexible. I loved her course and whole persona! Definitely recommend!!
She really makes you feel like family. She is so understanding,sassy(in a good way),funny,and full of knowledge. She made sure that the lectures were relatable and shared personal experiences of being completely vulnerable. She has 2tests and a final and gives extra credit opportunities. I love her so much and hope to take her again in the future.
She is nice and the class is easy enough, but her TA is frustrating to have there. He talks and acts like he is above everyone. He held a highly inappropriate impromptu seminar on "things we can do to lose weight" immediately after a tense class discussion where some individual opened up about their struggles with weight. He should not be a TA.
Parks was an amazing professor. She is very caring and will spend most of the class time talking about problems in the world and discussing how we feel. One group presentation + assignments were very easy and we had so much time to complete them! Take her, you will not regret it. Very easy class
She is nice, but her lectures are just okay. She provides lots of anecdotal examples that often feel like trauma dumping. I'm just not sure how much I learned in this course. Even worse, she's got a TA who is unhinged. He is on a constant power trip and poorly attempts to instruct the class, even though he is far from qualified to do so.
Prof Parks was funny and made lectures interesting. Exams were pretty easy as long as you follow the lecture slides!
Boring lectures no homework, just exams pretty easy class for a general ed
