Best professor I have ever had. I have taken 3 of his classes and enjoyed all of them. He is extremely knowledgeable and clearly cares for his students. His assignments are very straightforward, weekly reading assignments, no tests, and a lot of reading, however I have always enjoyed the readings. Lots of theory and analysis but amazing class!!

One of the most engaging classes I've taken. It's definitely a heavy class, around 80-200 pages of reading and a 1000 word reflection a week. However, I really love Robinson's approach to the class, he encourages questions at all times and loves it when you challenge his ideas. Can be a truly transformative class, I'd recommend.

Weekly essay due at 10pm. lectures were long and boring, he did seem to care very deeply about what he teaches. Wishy-washy with being accessible outside of class, would often no-show his office hours. Makes you buy multiple of his own books which were impossible to find online, relatively cheap but everything adds up. would only take if mandatory.

Professor Robinson is intense but cares deeply about the material. While the reading load is heavy, the content is engaging. Utilize unstuck ai and focus on the lectures to succeed.

Excellent proffesor, one of the few at Santa Barbara that actively challenges your critical thinking. His intensity can be mistakened as rudeness, as Robinson really makes it clear that he cares a lot about the content that he is teaching, and as a result, wants to make that everyone is paying attention.

I gave the professor 2 stars because he does not reply to emails at all. TAs great. Be prepared to write a weekly 1000-word essay, there's several guidelines on how to do them and what to avoid. - how many pages you will read "134 pages!" If you don't like reading hundreds of pages and writing a 1000-word essay a week this course is not for you.
