Comment:

Took his class online, and had no problems. You have discussions every week, and a test. As long as you read your book, you'll do fine. He offers 2 practice tests before each test, AND you have the option of taking the test 2. He accepts the highest score. You also have a question to answer every week. They are easy, and I enjoyed answering them.

Ok a lil heads up, Dr. Rubin is writing about himself again, watch out. Everything everyone else has said is true. He can't teach worth crap. I got an A but taught myself!

Not clear or unclear: This class is what you make of it. I killed myself to get an A, and I found it very rewarding. Not for someone who doesn't have the time to study.

Comment:

not a ridiculously easy teacher but if you actually study and ask questions if you have them, an "A" is totally feazable. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students and wants them to do well, but to be honest, it's clear that at least in

Comment:

The class is tough but as for any class you take, you HAVE TO STUDY, dont expect to pass this class if you dont study. His teaching methods are excellent and he tries to lighten up the class with some jokes. If you show him you are working hard he will work with you but if he knows you aren't trying then he doesnt waste his time. Can you blame him?

Knows the subject well, but a horrible teaching style! Everyone in my class got a C in his class. Tests are extremely hard, even if you study you won't get a good grade... Don't take him for Micro!

Not easy, however, very fair and helpful. Only teaches what realy matters, not wasting our time. I recomend his class. You will pass if you take notes of what he teaches. I learned a lot!

Comment:

His teaching style is quantity not quality, I remember nothing I learned from his class. The only way to pass is get lucky on the multiple choice questions because he gives hard and unfair tests. Talks more about his life than the course material. Always late.

Comment:

This professor was quite difficult as well as his coursework.the tests were mostly trick questions and alot of them had to be thrown out.reading the chapters and taking notes were not preparation enough for this class.I had an interest in this subject before I took his class. Not recommened if you w

He is very good. Students that do not pass his classes are the ones that never even care to study. If you at least try, he helps you to understand and learn the material. Take his class if you want to learn.

Comment:

he doesn't teach as to where a student can apply each lesson. He teaches as if students are scientist. He's very hard, have nearly impossible test, doesn't give any reviews. If you want to learn take Sealy(at least she's hard and helpful), he's just hard!always late but he counts tardies,absence.BAD

Comment:

ONLY grades in class are tests, and they are quite hard(even with a review). Test questions are always trick questions (ex: all the options are almost spelt the same, etc.). Doesn't tolerate lateness, missing class. TAKE DETAILED NOTES! If not good at tricky multiple choice tests, don't take him.

Comment:

Dr. Rubin expects you to read before class. When you come in, listen to him, he cuts through the BS. He will give you his lessons learned, although eccentric. He will give you the tools to become a great student. Focus on the tests he gives, listen and apply, and you'll be successful.
