The grading system is tough, especially for essays. Getting 5 out of 5 scores for one essay is hard because the requirements are very subjective. There are three challenging requirements. If you can't achieve these three, you can only get 80% for your essays, which will drastically lower your score to a B.

He seldom follows his class schedule, so there's lots of uncertainty in class. And you have to finish your first draft within one and a half hour and get ready to his quizzes. He is also a tough grader on drafts. I am an A student in my last linguistic class, but I don't know whether I can get an A- this quarter. I love Robertson even more than him

too much homework, tough grader

There were 47.5 points for 40% and only 13.5 points for essays taking up 60%, I just lost 2 points in two essays, and I got C+. He only gives 4 or 5 out of 5, and 5 is very difficult. He graded on very subjective terms like you need to write creatively, poetic, sophisticated, and concisely, neither of them was talked about in class.

There were only about 120 points in total, so every point is equally important. I just need to make up two more one-point homework for an A (he did not allow make-up). He graded essays and writings based on grammar rather than ideas (he even pointed out 7 places where I should place more commas). It is still an easy class

Nice professor. He will give each of you advice for essays and grade homework fairly. In class, he is humorous and patient. If you have any questions about class materials or essay, just ask.
