Difficult, but professor is very knowledgeable and you have many chances to learn very pivotal global topics. Maybe it's useful being assigned so much work, you start to handle the stress and time management better. Lectures can feel like public speaking which kinda drags on.

Passionate, extremely knowledgeable professor who values intellectual discourse. People complaining "political bias" just do not want their views (or ego) challenged at all by a highly distinguished professor with decades of research expertise. There's weekly essays, but many free extra credit points added automatically. Easy, eye-opening class.

He is not a very nice guy. His opinions are STRONG and welcomes those who challenge it... or so he says. Any disagreement will be met with a short fuse and very little respect. I would reccomend staying clear. There is a reason his class doesn't fill, even with how easy it is.

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.
