Show up to 3 hr lecture, pay attention or don't (no electronics so bring a book), he's super passionate and will teach you lots if you pay attention. 1000 word reflection every week with two longer papers in between. Super easy and pretty good grader if you just get it done.

It is a intense class, around 80-200 pages of reading with a 1000 word reflection a week. I learned more than I have in any class I have taken. No electronics sounded daunting at first, but it actually made the class so much more interesting. I highly recommend this class or another one with Robinson but get ready to read and write.

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.

Someone called him a dictator, and they're not wrong. Attendance is mandatory with 3 iClickers. No electronics in class. 1000 word reflections every week. He pretty much talks at you for 3 hours showing off everything he knows, which is quite a bit so I respect him for that. He would bring up very relative things in class which was nice.

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.
