HORRIBLE professor. He has very interesting material but teaches in block three hour classes with monotonous lectures over powerpoints. Very arbitrary criteria for the reflections that are then graded by TA's somehow even more arbitrarily. To sum it up, great material and just horrible horrible class structuring and teaching delivery.

This professor clearly has a huge ego problem and was very unaccommodating towards students. That being said, he taught me more than I have ever learned in a class. He truly broadened my perspective every lecture and I looked forward to going to class, which I never had felt before. A lot of work but readings can be skimmed.

a good lecturer, 3 hr classes fly by. However, he claims to be a socialist yet is very punitive and requires notes from doctors in order to get extensions. News flash, not everyone has access to health insurance. Calls out/kicks students out for falling asleep in lecture, failing to realize most students have jobs & are tired for 7-10pm class.

I feel like Prof Robinson was the first to make me feel like I actually LEARNED. He does a weekly reflection on readings, 3 short papers and a lengthy final. (he also offers extra credit) The lecture was 3 hours but it was half lecture, half documentary WHICH were super interesting. I literally see the world different. Loved this class!
