This professor can talk for hours... She talks so much both on topic, but mostly off topic , that one can easily get bored. She favors certain people and picks on others. In order to get a good grade, you have to show her that you think that she is great professor, very knowledgeable and funny. If you dont, you will fail the class.

More casual conversation than using the textbook, but be prepared with her material because you can't escape from HWs, Tests, & Quizzes. Pay attention to her examples and powerpoints.

Wouldn't take again

Note very good at explaining things. Would assign work without being clear on what she wanted and then tell you that you didnt understand the assignment. Not a good professor in my opinion. Class was easy though. Hope she doesnt continue online classes.

This class mostly involves reading from the textbook. Professor Rabbin was very kind and understanding and was kind of hard at grading certain assignments but its easy to pass the class with an A or B as long as you put in the work and keep up with the assignments

I think she's a great teacher. She really helped me out during rough times. She was willing to answer my texts at 11 at night. She is very dedicated to her students.

DON NOT TAKE THIS PROF. She is the toughest grader in the entire MC. She will pick for every little mistake you make. For example, She tells you to do the assignment and explain you how to do it? If you do everything she says. You still will get a bad grade. NEVER TAKE THIS PROF.

She is a really tough grader. If you ask question, then she doesn't respond properly, but she want you to do your assignment. I recommend you to don't take this professor.

Prof. Rabbin is simply awesome. She tells you exactly what to do and if you don't do well in class, that is on you. She gives great lectures and is very engaging. She is available for her students pretty much anytime outside of class and wants them to do well not just in her class but in life as well. Take her, you will thank yourself.

She takes everything personally and will let you know how she feels. She even yelled at our class for 30 minutes one time. She is a good professor and her material is taught well, just be careful not to get on her bad side.

Great professor. Cares for her student beyond class work. Strict as required, lenient when needed. You will learn a lot in this class. Her expectations are pretty clear when it comes to assignments. Follow her guidelines, do the work and you will get an A for sure.

Professor Rabbin knows so much about what she teaches and always give such good and practical examples for all of the course subjects. She makes it very clear what she wants for each assignment and provides detailed rubrics. She also makes all of the course content very easy to understand and utilize.

Professor Toby Rabbin was one of the best teachers I ever had. The professor knows her subject well and can clearly explain the topic, regardless of its complexity. For each chapter of the book, she created a presentation for better memorization of the material. I highly recommend everyone to take a class with Professor Toby Rabbin!

The professor could find an individual approach to each student, creating a supportive classroom atmosphere. We had one group project, which united all students in a friendly company. We had clear deadlines and mandatory attendance, which helped maintain discipline. Blackboard was conveniently created, making it easy to find the necessary material.

Professor Rabbin lectures well, her class is very engaging. The slides are interactive and require student participation for built-in exercises for some. She fully encourages students to have discussions among themselves before, during, and after class. The professor provides thorough and personalized feedback on your assignments.

Prof. Toby is a great professor. She is kind but fair and straightforward. I really enjoyed her lectures, I learned a lot from them and they were never boring. Participation and attendance are big. Overall, just make sure you do the work and you can't fail. If you need to take communication, take Prof. Toby, you will not regret it.
