Comment:

Rubenfeld has very boring classes. He gets excited over random math topics and will ramble on about them. Doesn't spend much time on a topic and then expects you to know it. Tests are near impossible. Skill quizzes are easy.

Comment:

Classes are incredibly boring and hard to stay awake in. He begins every class by saying that he doesn't know how to help us understand the material, and uses the rest of the time to scribble illegibly on the overhead while abstractly talking about a problem. Skills quizzes are free A's and most things are curved tho, so a good grade isn't too hard

Comment:

Professor Rubenfeld will not help you at all. Lectures are just rambles on the topic, then mostly illegible scribbled problems. Teaching yourself is out of the question too, because there is nothing in the syllabus. Partial credit is all but nonexistent. Avoid him if you can.

Comment:

This guy is ridiculous. He complains that your homework is not grammatically correct and has errors in his own grammar as he tells you! His lectures are boring but it is an easy grade.

Comment:

Ummm. I am a teacher today not because of his direction, but because of Swinton, who has since passed away. You should be a teacher first at the level you are training before you try to direct teachers.

Comment:

He has a real problem deal with problems and issues. As the director of the MS/NS program he lacks leadership and backbone. Next time listen to the evaluations of your students and get better proffesors for the program.
