Comment:

Dr. Robinson can be seen as many as degrading, but he likes to poke fun and people take it the wrong way. He does take attendance very seriously, you only have 2 misses. 4 papers through the semester, plus readings from The New Yorker that are discussed in class. Make your first paper very creative or you won't get off to a good start.

Comment:

Dr. Robinson can be funny at times but otherwise it can be a struggle. He gives readings for every class and expects you to highlight everything or he'll get upset. He does not put grades online either and it is a guess as to what you have. He gave a test on quotes from the numerous stories and you have to recognize the character, author, and story

Comment:

Dr. Robinsons classes are taught differently than other teachers I have had in the past. You only write 4 papers the entire semester and you have to read many articles but that materials helps you while writing your papers. Your writing has to be creative or he won't be impressed. IF you dont come to class you won't pass. Liked him overall.

Comment:

Anyone who doesn't like Dr. Robinson just doesn't understand him. He's funny, intellectual, and a truly interesting guy. He expects a lot from his students because he wants us to actually learn something for once. He's not even a hard grader if you actually try. I LOVED him and his class. I was never bored and left everyday feeling enlightened.

Comment:

Dr. Robinson is a challenging professor, but we're in college! If you're not looking to learn anything and just be handed A's, take another class. Robinson feels so passionately about the material he is teaching, which makes students feel the same way. One of the most influential professors I have had at Bloomsburg to date.

If your dead he would still want you in class. You can only miss two and when you miss more he drops your grade. Tried holding a medical absent against me when I had an excuse. He basically grades on whether he likes you or not. He took 10 points off my midterm for not likening my opinion. Your opinion is always wrong

Comment:

This class gave me anxiety. It was a 100 level course but I felt as though the work was not worth the credits. This class was not a composition class but I wrote more for this class than I did for comp. There were papers due twice a week and he only ever graded two of them. I felt that if you did not feel the same as Mr. Robinson you failed.

Comment:

Don't take if you are looking for an easy elective. This class is extremely difficult to get an A in and Robinson is a pretty scary guy. He says "Nothing is ever really 100%" and therefore does not give A's to anyone. Not worth all the time and effort for an elective course.

Comment:

I am an English major, and this is the hardest class I have taken. He never told us what he wanted done for an assignment. He was rude, insulting, and degrading; he never treated any students with respect. This class was mandatory for me so I had no choice but to take it with him. I will NEVER take him again, unless I want to be treated inhumanly.

Comment:

I got an A-/B+ on a paper. When I asked my numerical grade, he said if I asked again he would give me the lower one. His grading is too unclear so you never know how to structure your papers. Never puts grades online. Thought I was getting an A in the class but got a B+. NEVER TAKE HIM. He definitely has attention issues and lectures are useless.

Comment:

Didn't know what my grade was all semester. It's kinda funny because it seems like he just wings a grade at you at the end of the semester. If you take him, get ready to read and write in between classes. Too unclear in his assignments and tests. Would not recommend him.

His grading instructions are unclear and when you ask him to clarify he becomes defensive. This was actually the worst class I have ever taken- I loved the content but hated the lack of structure and explanation. Avoid his classes at all costs.

Comment:

As a professor he is interesting to listen to however never take during a tough semester. He believes all focus should be on his class. I enjoyed talking to him however he can be quite blunt and some personalities do not click with him. If you don't come to class expect to fail. He can be unclear what he wants but eventually you learn through trial

Comment:

I graduated in 2013 from Bloomsburg. I had Dr. Robinson freshman year and senior year. The man is one of the smartest people you will ever meet. Most students complain because he is a hard grader and actually challenges you to be better and think outside the box. Stop complaining and do the work. Be better and stop trying to get easy A's.

Comment:

He can be funny and entertaining, but extremely sarcastic and can be extremely rude. He does not compromise, and acts like the world revolves around your poetry class. Stubborn, calls people out, aggressive, rude, but in a good mood if your whole class shows a love for poetry. No rubrics and he never knew what anyone's grades were. Avoid if you can

Comment:

Dr. Robinson is not a have a clear grading system . He does not make it clear to his students what he wants in his paper, nor what he wants on the final. All he says is to let him know how it makes the reader (you) feel. And if it's not what he agrees with it is wrong. He says he is not like this in the beginning, but he is. And I am truly upset.
