I loved his class! He's really nice and is there for students with whatever they need help with! There are only two exams - midterm and final. They are mostly based on his lectures, so take copious notes and attend all the classes. Also, the weekly online assignments and quizzes were very helpful in understanding the lessons. I learn so much!

This class ran off of connect with 3 assignments plus a quiz each but ALSO a "project" (busy work) to go along with each week. The directions for these project were never clear and you basically had to guess on the internet and hope and pray you received a decent grade from the TA and even then the professor may come and change it !

Exams are from his lectures so obviously you cant skip classes if you want to do well. Pretty straightforward. Seems like a lot of online homework but its really not (its actually quite easy). I wish there wasnt a term paper involved but its not the worst thing ever. Basically just go to class, pay attention, take notes and youll do well.

His exams are based off his lectures and book, so make sure you attend class and read what you're supposed to and you'll do fine. He comes off kind of rude, but he's a great professor if you show him respect. If you're not willing to work for your grade, or show respect, don't take him. Learned a lot of real-life applicable stuff in his class!

His online course is very tedious. Each week there's a quiz, a lesson, and a discussion assignment due. You cannot work on them in advance nor can you work on them after the deadline. You have to stay on top of your assignments to pass. No extra credit given. You need the book to pass

You have to buy a connect code for the book. An essay assignment is due the first week. A discussion, quiz and learmart is due every week. He asked alot of us in the discussions, he would ask 4 questions but he would ask other questions within those 4 questions so it came out to be 10+. Easy class, just very tedious and he asks alot from you.

I would understand if the course was the regular length. But if you are going to make it mandatory to basically force feed myself the material in a small amount of time. SOMETHING would be nice

Very interesting teacher loved his lectures he is very big on attendance so show up always. The textbook that accompanies the course is pretty confusing though and so are the quizzes you have to complete every week that are based just on the text and not on lecture.

He might come off like a jerk at first, but honestly as long as you treat him with respect he will treat you with respect. He is very specific with his syllabus and he has a midterm and final based ONLY on his lectures, and they are worth 50% of your grade. The other 50% is based on Learnsmart activities online- super easy but a bit time consuming.

Rudest professor at FAU. He seems to hate what he does. He is very confusing on explaining the material, and makes it too hard to understand. Run away!

2 Exams worth 60 percent, 14 quizzes worth 40 percent of your grade. He gives you no reviews also no powerpoints. Stay far away from this class.

Carefully read his syllabus and refer to it before asking him questions. Online quizzes every week based on textbook chapters and exams based only on in class lectures. Lectures are not scripted so you have to write what you think is important which is a lot of what he says. Exams were fair and you could manage a decent grade with good notes!

I enjoyed his class. Ride Along assignment was fun. 798 questions (15 quizzes) 45-57 questions each. Essay, 2 exams . Using Respondus (monitored with webcam) and Lockdown browser (cannot access internet while doing exam. Syllabus looks more intimidating than it is. very doable. A lot of work. Professor has better attitude than before. Cool person

I hated this teacher & his Multiple choice quizzes! they were soo many of them like 20 questions each week, sometimes 2 chapters in a week (40 Q's!) and some of them were soo hard like "what does the author of this chapter do?" like seriously?! MAKE SURE u email out your class and form a group to take his quizzes together,theonlywaytopass thisclass

Class taken fully online. Professor Dobrin was much better this time around. A lot more helpful with questions. Quick response with email and more concerned about if you understand the material. There was tons of work, 15 quizzes( 45-55 questions each), 3 exams (webcam needed for exams only, no open book), 1 research paper. not as bad as it sounds.

He is very sarcastic but the class is worth while. You have to work for your grade you get what you put in which I think is fair, after all it is a college.

Comment:
Don't ask questions that are already covered in syllabus. READ and UNDERSTAND syllabus carefully. He won't answer if it's covered. To some students he seemed sarcastic and come off as mean at time he embarrassed them. You sign a contract stating that you understand the syllabus. Not that bad but can be a little confusing.
