Tough but fair. Interesting class. A lot of student participation. Not the easiest but do-able.
Attendance is mandatory. Make sure you read selections assigned from reading. Interesting class. Interesting discussion. Good overall teacher.
Attendance is mandatory. Make sure you read selections assigned from reading. Interesting class. Interesting discussion. Great teacher!He really makes sure you understanding the assignemnts. I must take him again in 1302!!!
He's great!!! If you never had 1301 before, you should take his class! He makes sure that you understanding what to expect in college writing!
He's a great teacher and fun to have as a professor. Very helpful.
Pretty good teacher, gets off topic sometimes but he helps you understand the material
Mr. Robinson keeps my attention
Always helps you out when you need it. Makes everything clear and easy to understand.
Very intelegent professor. Really works with you and is very open to e-mail. great to get along with.
Awesome professor! If you really want to learn English Comp, take his class. He?s challenging, but extremely fair, approachable, helpful, and treats students with respect. He encourages students to email him for help, explains the material well, and has a good sense of humor. Interesting class discussions. I would definitely choose him again.
Good professor, made the class more interesting than what I expected it to be.
it was ok how ever lots of quiz if you read then you are good to go so if you dont like to read then dont take him there is a quiz after you read must be ready he is nice however you must be in class every day
His class is very interesting and fun. The reading is even funner and Mr. Robinson was great at choosing what was best for us within the text book. Mr. Robinson, if you can read this, I loved The Illiad and The Odyssey...thanks for sharing that story with us. The experience was sublime.
Great teacher! He is always available through email if you need some extra help. Attendance is very important because their are grades taking daily. But you can make a good grade if you come regularly and do assignments. You also get 3 free absent days.
The only flaw I found with Mr. Robinson was that he tends to talk for a long time. This can be both benefitial and annoying. The time flys by fast in his class, and his stories are mostly pretty interesting. He is not one of the best teachers but he is a good teacher.
Good professor. Shows great interest and enthusiasm in helping his students learn the course material. Knows his stuff. Would recommend to others
Attendance is mandatory however you are allowed 3 free absenses. Tends to talk a lot but you would always learn from what he has to say. Is reachable on email or after class. If you don't like reading than I probably won't take him. We have reading assignments and a quiz that follows. Your grade dependson on your effort in the class.
Good English teacher. Can go off topic sometimes and quizzes are somewhat pointless, but good overall. Fairly easy course given you do the work. Would recommend to those taking ENGL 1302
the class is easy to follow and interesting. the two hours a day goes by fast! and it is not overwelming in this short amount of time.
Grades papers very hard, and counts off for stupid things.
It was entertaining and fun. I enjoyed my class and he really teached me many things that will be useful in 1302. He was patient with the learning process and always encouraged everyone to be a better writer.
He is a good teacher and very helpful.
Gets off subject ALOT, but is an ok teacher. He talks alot, but it makes class go by a little faster. Really easy to be in contact with through email, overall an ok teacher. He grades papers kinda hard, and you have quizzes over a reading section in the book almost everyday.
Great teacher! I really enjoyed this class. I learned allot. Prof. Robinson has stirred a desire for a busy mom to get some books on tape to develop a love for words!
Awesome teacher and very good class i enjoyed it very much!!
Mr. Robinson is an excellent professor; He shows a genuine interest in the students and is always willing to help. Occasionally he will veer off topic; however, a majority of the stories are relative to the subject at hand. There are daily quizzes over the reading, but the questions are not difficult. I recommend taking his courses.
Interesting Class, Learned more than from any other writing class I have taken. Would recommend this class to capable students looking for an informative semester.
Definitely sign up for this class. Mr. Robinson is a great instructor who sincererly cares about the well-being and academic standing of his students. You'll learn more than just how to write a paper.
Professor Robinson is a great professor. Class was very informative and enjoyable.
Good professor. Took him for two classes. Brings diverse topics to the class that ties in to the lesson. Encourages students to think and express their opinions. Though i spoke my mind a few times, he liked to hear what i said. It brought class participation. He even wrote me a letter of recomendation to UNT, Woo Hoo. He cares about his students.
Mr.Robinson is an O.K. Professor. you can pass his class but you CAN find a better Professor. he tends to go off topic a lot. he takes way to long grading your paper. also he cant seem to explain things right. one more thing i just have a problem with is his handwriting on a blackboard. I cant read a single word he writes on that thing.
He is funny and likes to tell stories. This class takes a lot of time so with work on the side you might need to organize your time around papers.
mr robinson is a good teacher. he is funny, and actually cares for you as a student. i don't think a day has gone by where he hasn't inspired us to try harder or convinced us that we're doing the right thing coming to college. he's a god teacher and a good choice for english.
Mr.Robinson is a professor that really cares about his work. He makes a point to look out for his students, and takes every opportunity to share his wisdom.Sometimes he gets a little derailed and the clarity of his instructions suffer because of it, but overall,he is a passionate teacher who does his best to challenge his students.
Mr. Robinson is one of the best teachers I have had, I can honestly say that I have learned so much in this class, from all the literature we read to the group discussions. I highly recommend him.
Really enjoyed the class made the "classics" interesting lots of insightful commments, but gets off subject sometimes; makes one think about things in a different way.
Great Professor! He does ramble a lot about pointless things, but by the end of the semester you will be able to write the perfect paper. The quizzes are extremely hard, so when he tells you to read for a quiz do it and study the material greatly! If I could take him again,I would since his teaching skills helped me become a better writer.
Mr. Robinson is a great teacher even though he can be a little though. He makes you read the book and then he ends up either giving his students really hard quizzes or forget about them at the end. His essays are somewhat easy but then they get harder. He does talk a lot but they are good conversations. If you take him just read really good!!!!
Mr. Robinson is very, very difficult. He is not for the faint of heart, or the type who's mind tends to wander. He can be unclear at some times, occasionally getting off topic. However, he cares very much for his work, and will do everything in his power to help his students get good grades. That is, if the student has the will to get them himself.
My Robinson is a great professor. I took him this semester for ENG 1301. His class is challenging and I learned a lot from him. He gets off topic sometimes but his stories are always interesting and never boring. He tries to make us ready for our future classes. He actually cares about his students. He also replies back quickly to email questions.
Took Ron Robinson over both summer sessions 1301 and 1302 he is a nice man, very talkative. Gets off track sometimes however very personal. So so on easiness he will get your prepared for college level writing! Strict grader!!
Took Mr. Robinson for World Lit. His selections from the text made the class more bearable than other English classes I have taken. His lectures involve student feedback and discussion which makes the text easier to understand. The discussions often strayed from the main context of the reading selections, branching off into historical and philosoph
Professor Robinson is awsome! If you have the opportunity to take his class DO IT! No writing assignments or papers and all discussions are VERY interesting. A lot of reading, but that's it. Prof. Robinson is a truly enlightened person, and I would trade nothing for the wonderful experience taking his class gave me.
This professor uses the best method, in my opinion, of showing you how to properly write essays and research papers. Without his patience and experience in this field I feel I would have wanted to give up on writing. He is a great professor!
Does more than just teach.Helps people think more rationally.
In my opinion this is one of the best professor i ever had! His class is very interesting and he knows how to keep you attending to hat he has to teach. When i first starter in this class i never had guessed that i could actually learn to write a proper essay. This has been one of my best experience in class of all my live. Thank you Mr Robinson!
I love his class! He's the sweetest! He's very wise.
Mr. Robinson is a great professor. He truly wants his students to succeed. He is always willing to assist if you are stuggling with class work. As long as you follow directions and do what is required, you will have no problem in his class. You will enjoy the life stories he has to share, as well.
I really enjoyed his style. Doesn't just spew the text out of the book. He does like to talk and demands students attention. I definitely recommend Mr. Robinson
If you enjoy writing essays you will love Mr. Robinson. He does teach you what is needed to know for your essay. You will be reading a lot which is also helpful in conducting your essays. He is rally a hard instructor but a helpful one. I really enjoyed the class (3 hrs a night) & I do not like English.
I throughly enjoyed Mr. Robinson. There is a lot of work he expects of his students, but he is always there to help, if you have any questions. VERY INFORMATIVE. I found his talking quite enjoyable, very interesting and very wise! Has much respect for his students. Would take him again!!
Mr Robinson is a great teacher thanks fir your help
Mr R, was very helpful. He really cares for his students. I would recommend his class. You really do learn from the first to the last day.
Very helpful. He would help you through whatever you needed. Would highly recommend because he cares what we do.
I had Mr. Robinson for two English classes and highly recommend him. He's very knowledgeable in English and literature, and brings amazing wisdom and interesting experiences into the classroom that contribute to the overall education of his students. He's kind, cares about his students and is extremely helpful. I would definitely choose him, again.
Mr. Robinson is a great teacher. Not only will he teach you to write a good, college-level paper, but will hopefully inspire you to open your mind to new and different experiences and ways of life. It was a pleasure to take his class; I looked forward to it each week. Thanks Mr. R!
great teacher
AWESOME TEACHER... HE MADE ME THINK
He is a helpful teacher when we ask for help...
great
Wonderful professor. He really cares about his students. One of the best instructors here at Eastfield. Wish I could take him for 1302. You have the ability to learn so much from him. He will pull things out of you that you don't know are there. Thanks Mr Robinson
All I can say is make sure you come to class and to make sure you prepare yourself to learn a lot of stuff on your own for those who have been out of school for a while. Over all Mr. Robinson is a nice person, but feels a lot of the material taught you should have learned back in high school. Keep focus with a positive attitude.He's okay
fun to lisen to until he gets aggrivated
Great Professor. Enjoyed the class but very stressfull at the same time.
Great Professor. Very stressful but well worth the experience.
Overall, he is a good teacher. I really appreciate how he prepared the class on how to produce an efficient research paper. I am well-prepared to produce a decent research paper. He is a stickler for NO phones heard nor seen in class and he wants your undivided attention. He is a funny too. I'm glad I had the opportunity to take his class.
Professor Robinson was not the easiest Professor, but are they suppose to be easy? He made me think and he made me work for whatever grade I've received. For that I'm grateful. I'd much rather have a serious or strict professor than one that is lenient and/or aloof. I believe he sincerely cares enough to want everyone to reach their full potential.
Great Professor! Your grade is based on your own effort to study. While it is an easy class; be sure to take notes during lectures and read the material given and your guaranteed an A. He is sincere about his students as he will give opportunity if you deserve it. Again though, overall a great teacher!
He really helped me learn to write a paper and it benefited me in my other classes.
High expectations from his students.
I agree with the comment above; he likes the sound of his own voice.He is impatient, moody, and gets easily aggravated.not easy to get along with. I wouldn't recommend this teacher.
Very strict and unhelpful :(
This Prof has compounding work, miss a few classes later in the semester and your over. has a major zeal for teaching. makes you earn your grade, so no easy grades no make up and no extra credit. i wouldnt take him again ever but would love being his friend for philosophical debates.
Only one person earned extra credit in this class. Now if that doesn't sound sketchy! You will have to work extra hard, and still, an A is out of the question.
Very Professional, Polite, and fair. Treats everyone with respect and concern. Makes every student feel special, I was the only student from the Middle East in this class, he always respected me and asked my opinion, which made me feel great, Thanks Mr. Robinson,I wish you the best in life.
Enjoyed The Class, Difficult At Times, But if you attend class, you should be fine.
Good teacher, would take again.
He's not a bad teacher. The class is very structured, which is good if you are a procrastinator trying to get better. He does love to hear himself talk, which gets a bit annoying. Also, you will never get a straight yes or no from him. He will give a very long speech. However, he's very reasonable to try to talk to. He has very interesting stories.
He's Not A Super Hard Teacher, just Do Your work. He Makes You Work super hard for an A.
He is very strict, straight to the point. AT times he can be a bit bypolar. You have to work meticulously in this class to make an A. Do not miss class or be tardy!! Hes a pretty intresting guy He's intellegent and uses it to his fullest.
Mr. Robinson was a very interesting teacher. I thought he has an wonderful life, and I was always ready to hear from his past life. He's a good teacher, but you should listen and make eye contact when he's talking. He will like you if you listen whenever he's talking. But overall I enjoyed being in his class and plan on taking ENGL 1302 under him.
Mr. Robinson is cool. He is very helpful. He is honest about your level of work and is always giving helpful tips. He is always here and to me that is vry important. He also has a really good handle on the class. That's really about all.
A very interesting teacher, he has a lot of experience and a wide range of interests, however he is not without flaws. He often comes late for class (which is a benefit to me when catching up on some reading) and when hes not straying off topic, his class can be a bore to be in. fairly strict and has high expectations for his students.
I think Mr. Robinson is super nice. He is SUPER friendly and super helpful. (:
Mr.Robinson seems strict and unpleasant, but one full class with him and you soon see that little attention is needed because he is rarely talking about anything to do with the class. And how can you be strict and have two awesome ponytails? HAHA His quizzes are simple straight from the book, and he walks through the papers with you.
If you like to read it is a fun class to take you learn a lot took it during summer no papers to write just read and undersand the text.
Was not a super easy A but if you work you can do it. He was very helpful
He's a good teacher and if you do your work it will be super easy to get a good grade. He's pretty cool:)
Professor Robinson is the type of professor that I needed. I have never written a research paper in my life. Now I feel like I am a pro! lol. This professor has taken me from point A to point B and I am so proud of myself now! More professors like Mr Robinson are needed. He is a great big help to all! The class agrees!
Mr. Robinson is one of the most interesting men I have ever met. He's lived a fascinating life and he is open to discuss almost anything. He is very helpful, comical and really wants to see every student succeed. He is an easy going person, but is firm on what he expects of you. He is old school, but is up on all the current news at the same time
helps when you need it is always willing to go the extra mile with those he takes an interest in
He makes you work for that A, but he really is a fantastic professor. I came into the class not being very confident about being able to write a ten page research paper, but he started at step one and by the end of the semester I had completed a twelve-page paper with ease. Show up to class and do your homework. He will help you IF YOU COMMUNICATE!
Great guy. Great class. Potatoe.
Mr. Robinson is very helpful! The paper topics weren't the most interesting but they way he has you do your outline really helps! He is willing to help if you communicate! We emailed back and forth weekly. Great professor!
Must follow his directions to a t if you want a good grade I misunderstood one thing and it cost me terribly. I Recommend online class!
He tends to stray off topic a bit. Watch out for his stories. (:
Helpful but you need to pay attention!
MR. ROBINSON IS A REALLY INTERESTING INDIVIDUAL. HE HAS A GOOD HEART AND REALLY CARES ABOUT SEEING HIS STUDENTS SUCCEED, HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED ALOT IN LIFE AND STILL ACCOMPLISHING THEM. HE IS SOME ONE THAT WE COULD ALL LEARN ALOT FROM, I TRULY AM THANKFUL TO HAVE HAD HIM AS AN INSTRUCTOR. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECCOMMEND HIM TOEVERYONE.
Dude is real. Cares and wants his students to do good. Interesting lectures that makes the class go by fast and smooth.
Mr. Robinson is a very respectable interesting professor, who, when asked for help will always offer it to satisfaction. He does tend to digress, but if you follow his topics they can be enlightening. If you want to pass, you have to email him and always do your homework on time. He is truly a great professor.
Where to start.. Mr. Robinson is a very talkative man. He loves to get OFF topic and at times it can get annoying. Overall he is very helpful, caring, smart and explains what he wants from his students in details. I have learned to write better essays without any problems. I do recommend only if you don't mind the stories. He uses ALL his CLASStime
Likes to talk about things that have nothing to do with the classwork. Interesting and entertaining but sometimes feel that class time could be used a LOT more effectively.
Mr. Robinson is a great professor. You just need to keep up with your work, turn it in on time and you will do well. He is very helpful and caring. I would recommend his class.
Mr Robinson really cares about his students. If you want an easy A do not take this class, if you want to feel accomplished this is the class for you. Yes he gets off topic at times but I like his stories, so I welcome them. Mr Robinson is a great teacher and I will be looking to take him for English 1302.
Mr. Robinson was a great professor. He cares for his students and really wants to make sure they all succeed. He refuses to give an A it would seem.
great professor very helpful
He was very willing to help. Good human being , very warm hearted. You will feel confident about writing papers after you take his class. He is a cool old man from the south.
Very warm hearted human being. Very willing to help. Cool old dude from the south. You will feel confidence in writing papers after you take his class.
If you want to learn to write well. Professor Robinson is the way to go. Not an easy A but you will perform better in all of your current and future courses. Very nice gentleman. Kind and warm hearted. One of the best professors at Eastfield. Workload is steady but doable. I am a better student because of this man! An inspiration! Take this course.
