Collegegreat professor, really charismatic and funny. unfortunately if you're not very scientifically inclined (like me), this may be really difficult even with the cheat sheets he allows. tests are hard if you put this class on the backburner and don't know how to apply the concept really well. an okay and lenient GE, but not exactly easy.
2 Midterms and final had random questions that made it super hard. Kind prof though
He was great! Made everything straightforward and the class isn't too bad if you have good cheat sheets.
Prof. Wrobel is passionate and very funny, but the class can be challenging. There are two midterms, a final, and worksheet labs. Exams are multiple choice with cheat sheets, yet still difficult. He moves quickly, and study guides aren't very helpful. If you are not a science person and seeking an easy GE, this is not the class for you.
I really loved him as a professor, he is clearly very passionate and makes his lectures engaging. However, i attended every single lecture and studied so much and still received a B because 2 midterms and 1 final make up 60% of the grade and there were some gotcha questions. Id still take his class again!
LOVED professor Wrobel and his class. Although it was a lot, it was manageable and my TA was awesome. He's such an engaging lecturer and feels really approachable and accessible outside of class. Attendance isn't mandatory but the info from lectures is so important so definitely show up. Taking his other LD class next quarter and very excited.
