An excellent professor, interesting lectures and seems like an awesome person
Amazing professor!! Should be a filmmaker!!
nice guy, good teacher makes it interesting and exciting
Very good professor. His class is beyond interesting and flies by.
Nurtures students
Had him for 101 also--got boring somewhere b/t semesters.
A real piece of work, brings nothing but misery into your life, AVOID HIM!
Thinks too highly of himself and picks on students
Horrible prof, miserable lecturer, and very tough grader. You'll learn nothing.
Great prof, superb lecturer, but very tough grader. You'll learn a lot, though.

Don't know what some here are thinking... he's an AWESOME professor.
That devious smile sure doesn't fool me, and don't let it fool you!
Very nice, witty, helpful, tough grader
Lots and lots of brainwashing, don't fall into his evil trap!
great guy... very caring n good teacher
Very Intelligent Man. Will learn a lot from him.
Absolute disgrace, makes you feel so dumb and incompetent, stay away from him!
nice guy, tries a little too hard to be hip. Knows his stuff
He is the best prof. Those who dont like him can't handle a good education
everything u ever wanted to know & were always afraid to ask;great asset to pace
very good prof; take him; fair; u will learn a lot! interesting class
prepares you well for other classes, you'll greatly improve your writing skills
Very self-centered and pretentious; gives a bad name to most other lit profs.
Nice guy, hard grader
great professor, very interesting, lots of fu
Good person, but expects no mistakes on e pointsssays, every comma will cost u
he's the best. He's interesting and VERY helpful! Overall a good guy!
Kindergarten all over again, make sure you wear your diapers to class.
Just awful, thinks he is simply God, never, repeat never take him!!
excellent prof
Great professor, fair grader!
People like him don't deserve to teach, I want my money back!
He's really a nice guy! Be fair--don't repeat the same comment time after time.
Nice guy and funny, tough grader but only wants to improve your writing!
No Comments
it's a fun experience
tough grader; cool guy
take good notes. I enjoyed the class.
He's a VERY hard grader, but he allows for rewrites and does what he can to make sure you do well in his class. He knows A LOT, but isn't always able to reach the whole class. Definitely a professor worth taking, but make sure you do your readings!
A typically excentric University Lit prof mixed with a smooth politician. Really cares about your learning, and he tries really hard. Go in with an open mind, and you'll be fine. Take his film classes if you can.
Great professor. Wants to help students, allows reqrites, usually 4 essay per semester (3 short, one id just a rewrite of the lowest graded paper) and the last paper is like 5-6 pages. Like interaction, and is always available to help. Love the man!
knows a lot aout the subject matter and is very descriptive.I didnt read at all & still got a B. He's a pretty nifty guy if you dont mind him tlaking about art,shakespare,chaucer,etc. I thought it was kinda funny
Very Nice guy, helpful, very easygoing and FUN
he deserves a category of his own. he is mad chill and super cool. but he is also a challenging and demanding professor. if your stomach can't take sarcasm and strange humor you best be running as far away from him as possible.
Good professor. can be a hard grader on papers but allows rewrites to imporve. tries to help you do good in class and learn to write better. if you don't mind a challenge then go for it!
I took him for an INT class English/New York City studies and it was VERY interesting. I learned a lot, went on lots of class trips around the city. Fair grader, just pay attention in class, rarely took notes, no homework, just papers every 3 weeks, but short
Look at Rosenfeld. Same class, same bad teaching style and difficult grader.
hes really cool laid back guy helps you out with your writing a lot.. but be careful its not rosenfeld working with him because he seems to give into the grading policies of rosenfeld and rosenfeld is hard and unreasonable
hes was alright although essays were graded pretty tough. as long as you read the books and write decent essays, you should be ok.
The guy knows what he's talking about and he knows how to hold student interest in the subject. Three papers, one re-write. No midterm. Read the books, participate in discussion. You'll have a better time in the class and so will everyone else. Don't take the class if Rosenfeld is teaching with him.
probably the best professor at Pace. Intelligent guy who knows his stuff. worth taking a class
He's an awesome teacher!!! If you pay attention and take notes during discussion groups, you can pass easily. Write papers and concentrate on them!
A remarkably sweet gentleman, his worldliness is an asset to Pace. Embodies high intelligence&humility. For an intellectual discourse, his classes are certainly worth taking - he challenges your perception of reality, contrasts film and literature, and nurtures the great thinkers of tomorrow. Enjoy!
Fabulous professor. Among one of the best Eng/Lit prof at PACE! You will learn so much, you should TAKE HIM!!!! He is on DEMAND!!!
EXCELLENT professor. among the best at pace. highly recommend. funny, intelligent and informative. provides help if necessary. makes teaching the class as fun as possible. not the easiest grader so dont' write your essay the night before bc he'll know. do your work and you'll get a B+ or higher
A pleasant man who is very helpful and kind. I am so lucky to have him as a professor.
AMAZING! One of the best courses and profs I had at PACE ... he's great. Totally laid back, so helpful, understanding, and funny. He relates to his students. It's a honor to be in his class. If I could have him for every subject, I would.
A typical class is goes like this:"People knew the story already. There were no surprises. However, Sophocles put more emphasis on the lack of reverence toward the gods. (pause) Does anyone else pee in the shower? (pause) No? (pause) Well, it's 11. See ya next time!"
Dr Raubicheck is my all time favorite. He's a great professor and very willing to help his students. If you ever need help he will always be willing!
Prof. Raubicheck is an amazing person and teacher. Willing to listen to everyone and consider what everyone is saying. Teaches in a real interactive way which is awesome.
Knows his stuff and is very personable. I enjoy his sense of humor. I also enjoy when he fights to stay awake during Barbara Blumberg's lecture time in my learning community.
I LOVE THIS MAN. He is HYSTERICAL and you know that he knows his stuff. Would recommend him to anyone!
He is among of one the most well-mannered, respected, and cultured professors I have ever encountered. He's intellectually stimulating and have a very dry sense of humor. Wish I took more of his classes! Pace is so lucky to have him!
He is one of the best professors I had last semester. He was clear with instructions and was always willing to help with writing. I enjoyed his lectures and the fact that he is open minded.
He's incredibly witty - a dose of sarcasm is much appreciated. He shed light on film & lit in a very compelling and interesting way. TAKE HIM AND YOU WONT REGRET IT! It's refreshing to learn something new whenever I attend his lectures.
I definately would never take him again-I wasted money bc I learned nothing-he drones on about things not relevant to class and makes you act out plays!I am a lit major not a theater major! We barely got any notes, never followed the syllabus and waited until a week before finals to give a final paper! He also only likes you if you kiss his ass
Amazing man, extremely intelligent, engaging, and a very good guitar player and Bob Dylan impersonator!
it's a shame that we can't all be theatre majors or we would be getting A+'s also.
He's very sweet and has a lot of knowledge about literature and film. He creates an academic atmosphere that is relaxing and welcomes discussions. If you're an english major, or if you're interested in taking a literature course, I highly recommend him.
yeah i didnt like this professor at all. his blatant dispay of "favorites" is ridiculous and makes you feel pretty lousy. I didnt really learn much aside from my own reading because he's so damn busy acting out plays. if you have to take him, wear a low cut shirt and kiss his ass. prob extra points if you pout your lips a bit...good luck
I really don't know why there are such negative comments about this guy. I've taken him twice. I didn't see him play favorites, just liked people who were pleasant towards him and didn't just go to class to sit there for two hours. He is a fair grader, and knows so much about what he teaches its ridiculous. He's not my favorite, but he is excellent
Any one who has a single bad thing to say about this man is obviously off their rockers. This is by far the most helpful, caring, and amazing professor at Pace. If you want to actually learn in a classroom, then his is the one to be in. He knows absolutely everything about what he is teaching, by far one of the most effective profs I've ever taken.
Horrible. Plays favorites. I read one of his plays and it was horrible...so many typos...boring plot. What right does he have to grade me if he himself cannot write coherently or in proper English? Kissing his ass wont help. Maybe getting a boob job and bleaching your hair will. I don't know. Ruined my GPA.
W/E. He is a great professor. He takes the time to meet with each student individually and work on their needs. He always makes everything very clear and explains everything thoroughly. Doesn't mind being questioned or proven wrong either. Definately work taking his classes.
Gotta love raubi-wan kenobi
he is an awesome teacher....i nva had to worry abt his class...if u r concentrated on ur other major classes...and want an ez prof for english...he is the man..no hassles...do a couple of papers at most 3...and you are good
Great Professor! I would take all my classes with him. Extremely helpful and nice. Was always glad to help during the office hours and any time in general.
HE IS AMAZING! Very knowledgeable.You would be lucky to have him as your professor!The nicest,caring man I ever met.His classes are extremely helpful interesting and fun.Very committed to students.One of the best teachers at Pace and the best person!I wish all professors at Pace where like him, the school would be better off.TAKE HIM!
He's very nice and laid back. This class is super easy. Just make sure to do the readings because the essays are based all about them. Or go to class and take good notes when they talk about key points in the books.
Without a doubt my best time at Pace. If you don;t take a class with him you don;t know what learning is all about
He is the man.
I've taken him twice and if I could, I would take him again. You have to be willing to write, but he usually allows rewrites. The essays are usually what you discuss in class so you don't go in blind. very laid back and a lot of fun.
raubicheck rules the world
He's a pretty chill guy, I give you that. He gives two easy papers to write and one large research paper. Seems easy but the 1st two papers are graded so lightly then BAM! gives a research paper with no directions/explanation is graded on a much different scale. Go to class and watch movies, then don't do as well based on your research paper.
Very easy to talk to, intelligent, and genuinely interested in his students.
Best teacher ever. Hysterically funny, So intelligent. Enjoyed his class so much, wish I could take him again.
Brilliant man--knows more about American Lit than anyone in New York.
Very interesting, fantastic lecturer. He never writes anything on the board. He is very knowledgeable and good in catch your attention. Although he's pretty hard on grading, but I learned more in his class than anywhere else. If you want easy A, don't take him.
he is a genius and is extremely engaging. has great knowledge of the subject and much more. he will help you as much as you can if you put the effort in. he is a great guy you will learn a lot!
Fantastic professor. If you were unclear about something he was always available after class to talk. He made sure every student had one on one time with him to discuss papers and how we could improve them. Very engaging and easy to talk to. I would definitely take him again!
Raubi rocks! He is the most knowledgeable and interesting English professor in NYC. If you don't take him, you're missing out. Highly recommend him if you're an interesting person. If you are unambitious and vacuous don't bother.
Awesome guy, great UNV advisor.
Walter is a boss. He has a clear point when grading papers. There is no reason anyone should do bad in the class or bad on the essays assigned. He gives you a chance to write the paper- discuss it with him and then write a final draft for an improved grade. He does not play favorites contrary to the few reviews that say so.
Take him for any class that you can. All you have to do is show up and do your work which is not much at all. Every essay you have, he gives you a week to do a rough draft, then he edits it for you and shows you what corrections you need to make THEN he gives you a whole other week to make corrections for a better grade. Best prof at pace by far.
Raubicheck is a great professor. He is very kind and helpful. I felt like I learned a lot from his class, and his essay assignments were pretty easy. Sometimes he gets off topic, but it can be a nice breakup between new discussions.
He's a great teacher! He cares about his students and is always there to help. If you do your work he will acknowledge that with a good grade. His little stories make the class fun and interesting. I loved it and would defiantly recommend him as a Professor.
Raubicheck is a great professor who is very knowledgeable. He will take time to answer your questions in and out of class and definitely knows what he is talking about. He is also super nice!
Raubicheck gives good feedback on essays, and his lectures are interesting.
Raubicheck is such a great professor. His lectures are informative and he points out important information in the texts we read. When writing essays in his class, he returns them with detailed corrections, which make it easy to get a better grade. The discussions in this class are interesting and are helpful. I recommend him and will take him again
Best lit professor I've ever had
Great teacher. Will take his class again. I recommend it
Love Dr. Raubicheck! He is so kind and intelligent.
I love Professor Raubicheck! He is one of the kindest and most helpful professors here at Pace. His classes can get a little boring but are super informative and helpful. Don't be afraid to ask questions, he will gladly help and all he wants is the best for his students.
Reading the bad ratings of this prof make no sense to me! I absolutely enjoyed his class. He is a super funny guy and loves to talk about very interesting things. Just take good notes and utilize the ability to make conferences with him. Ive learned a lot about my writing in his class! Will def be taking him for writing in the disciplines!
Horrible!! Not really a harsh grader, but piles on the work. Final research paper was traumatizing. No written instructions, no rewrite, it had me in tears for days!!! He's a chill guy, but his curriculum for the class was a hot mess and dreadfully boring. If you LOVE Shakespeare go for it. Otherwise, stay far, far away from his class.
i've had luck with having great english teachers and professors throughout my academic years. But Professor Raubicheck is the best!!!
Professor Raubicheck's class can be challenging but rewarding. The workload is heavy, but he's a passionate teacher who makes the material engaging. I found unstuck ai really helpful for staying organized and acing the final paper.
Pretty easy class and he's such a sweet guy. He repeats himself often and a lot of people found him boring, but I enjoyed the class. No textbooks, we did read a lot of actual books without a lot of notice. He's a really interesting guy who likes participation!
Very nice and funny. He's genuinely interested in his students' lives and makes learning fun. There's a lot to read so get ready for that, but not much homework with writing. He's a very interesting person and professor who makes class enjoyable and engaging. Not too sure of how his grading works, though, as in papers/exams.
chill guy honestly, never was too into shakespeare or anything of the type but is not too difficult and is a easy A-B
