Extra Credit. His notes are quite unclear. I wish they related well to the textbook that you definitely need for the class. Other than that he gives a guide to the tests and engages students. He cares about students understanding. Would take again, with this prof.

Comment:

Community development project involves the class being split in half. It is a pointless and stressful project. Robert's exams are not clear, they focus on random facts. He does not go over the text book at all and is less then helpful. He sent an email blasting us for not doing something in our group project the way he wanted. Boring class.

Comment:

Robert was a good teacher, helpful if you needed it, and gave lots of feedback. He gets off topic easily sometimes, and can be very funny. This was not my favorite subject to begin with because it was not my main focus, but I still liked going to class.

well meaning and nice but taught almost word for word from the text book. He also tends to talk a little too much about himself and his past experiences

Comment:

What is up with the leather vest. He is the reason I left UCFV! Late to every class and does not teach a thing. You are better off to skip and just read the text. Sitting through his class is a waist of time. All things said, he is an easy marker though, still horrible!

Comment:

Does tend to be late and to talk about his own experiences---a lot. Also teaches directly from the textbook---the reason for class is to find out what to focus on in the text for exams.

Comment:

I felt he was disrespectful to be late to EVERY class, but that's just me. And this was after making the class start time 15 minutes later! A bit too wrapped up in himself and what he believes, but whatever..that's just him. Fairly easy marker. VERY lenient with extensions if you need them from what I saw.

Comment:

This man's a fool--should not be allowed to teach. If the class was Robert Harding 101 then he'd be great, but seriously dude, get over yourself, get interested in what you teach & stop putting videos in to fill up classtime. Also, we can read the chapters by ourselves. Lectures would be more helpful if not ripped from text--teach something!

Comment:

if this class were on his life experiences, he would be okay as a teacher. but instead he throws us the book, tells us to read & then spends the next class talking about himself. who cares! this class was a rip off, i lost my $$ and my career chances just tanked! very boring!
