    HIST187A . Roberts L S 3 Years Ago

    One of my favorite professors at UCSB. Quizzes are easy if you watch the lecture. I took his Hist 187A during fall quarter, he is very patient when answering my stupid questions. If you are interested in Japanese history, you'll learn a lot; But if you are not, this course might be a little boring.

    HIST187A . Roberts L S 10 Years Ago

    The class can be difficult at times, as there is so much material to know. But, if you ask him questions or go to his office hours he is more than happy to help.

    HIST187A . Roberts L S 11 Years Ago

    Professor Roberts is a cool guy. He always has a smile on and is passionate about his work. Would definitely recommend if you are interested in Japanese culture and history. He knows a ton. Work isn't so bad. Just listen to his instructions and you will do well.

    HIST2B . Roberts L S 4 Months Ago

    Prof. Roberts is a great teacher if you're patient with him. Unfortunately he has a boring voice and struggles with technology, but he makes a clear effort to engage with his students. I recommend going to his office hours and getting to know him. This class is very simple if you pay attention and study a little before the two exams. I recommend.
