Rob tries to entertain you to keep you engaged which makes him go off topic a lot, but he's overall a good teacher he cares about his students. He also doesn't fail you if you actually try and show him your trying.

Rob tries hard to entertain, but doesn't teach at all. His lectures were off topic and barely covered the material we were discussing in the book. Rob also has questionable opinions and pushes those on his students .

Physics for Elem. Teachers: Rob was a really great teacher! His lectures are to the point and he makes physics easy to understand if you've never had a physics class before. There are quizzes, tests, and lab write ups: very easy work! As long as you go to class, pay attention, and take notes you will be fine! He allows a page of notes on tests too!

Comment:

Really straightforward class. There are 5 or 6 quizzes that are 10 questions each as long as you show up to class and take notes you will pass the quizzes. There are 2 tests that are easy as well as long as you show up and take notes. You will be able to use a full page of notes for both the quizzes and tests.

Comment:

Took his Elementary Ed Physics class and really liked it! Fun experiments, one project that lets you get up and teach in front of everyone. If you want to be in the spotlight of the class, sit at the table right in front of his desk. Don't buy the book, never used. Take notes, show up.

Comment:

Rob is very knowledgeable about physics. He's been teaching for many years and knows how to explain it to people who have never been exposed to this kind of science/math (no power points/ 1 lab write up). He does get off topic often, but to me I like that it gives me a mini mental break during class. Be prepared for some interesting humor.

Comment:

I study at the University of Michigan and the physics profs there are absolutely awful. I knew Rob before taking his class and I cannot tell you how much more I learned from him than from my actual university. Sense of humor is hilarious as well. Highly recommended if you want to actually understand the material you're being tested on.

Comment:

I liked him, definitely is passionate about physics. Physics alone, hard to comprehend so you might want to support his lectures with Khan Academy. This isn't his fault, you just have to hear some of the concepts twice. I don't get why people are so mad that he rambles, he explains that he does it to give us a minute to absorb the information.

Comment:

He rambles about stuff that doesnt matter and barely teaches anything so you just go do the crossword. I had maybe 2 pages of notes for each of the 4 tests, and that was all I needed to know to get an A since he only tests on the few things he says in class. I have no idea what I learned.

Comment:

He's super sarcastic, so if you're not into that type of humor, then I'd suggest not taking him. I appreciated his humor, but it certainly is not for everyone. As far as his teaching goes, however, he's very thorough and explains things well. He also incorporates a lot of interesting demonstrations in his lessons.

I love this guy. I never showed up to class just for exams and quizzes and I got an easy A. I didn't show up to classes because I had done all these stuff in high school. Take him you will not regrade it:)

This guy was condescending and made no effort to teach his class. He gives zero about his students and this is very clear in both his appearance and attendance at lecture. Avoid at all costs .

He can come across as rude. He will ramble on about his personal views. Very strange man, takes enjoyment in making people look/feel dumb which I found very unprofessional. On that note he is the most unprofessional professor/teacher/coach whatever you want to choose .

I was prepared to hate Rob, he gives you the heads up that he's a jerk the first day of class. One timid girl dropped the class the first day! Really, Rob is a really nice guy, he knows his stuff, and he always welcomes questions, and help if you need it. A few exams and quizzes (with notes), a few labs, a few easy projects. It's a good class.
