Comment:

I have had the pleasure of being in class with Tim on two occasions. The first was for an ethics course, which I enjoyed thoroughly, and for Law of Ad & PR. Tim is a great professor who truly focuses on teaching essential information for students to succeed in their given field of study. He's funny as well, which is a plus.

Tim Roberts is a really good professor. If you have him for PR Case Studies, get ready to work. The whole class is based off of a group project but you actually learn a lot. It's a lot of work but he gives you a lot of time to get assignments done.

Tim is someone who will take extra time to help you on a subject. He is very humorous and knows the material he teaches very well. I would take him again if I had the chance, he always puts the students needs above others.

I took PR Case Studies with Tim Roberts, and plan on taking a few more classes with him. If you are a PR major you are highly likely to run into him at some point. He is a great professor who truly cares about his students. All you have to do is ask him for help and he will do all that he can. His class is difficult but rewarding.

This is my favorite teacher, HANDS DOWN at KSU. Every time I have to make my schedule I take as many classes with him as I can. He is not only a really great guy, hes a great professor. As long as you go to class (he is a little strict on attendance) and do all of your work you are guaranteed at least a passing grade. TAKE HIM!

I took Roberts for Case Studies. He's sometimes a harsh grader, but he's a fantastic teacher and has very clear expectations. Doesn't hurt that he's hilarious! Take him; you won't regret it!

H Media Writing was a blast! I'm so glad I had him, and I can't wait to have him again! He really cares about his students' success. (I mean, the guy even emailed us some tips for preparing for next semester AFTER we were already done with school!) He connected really well with us, too! I looked forward to his class all of the time. TAKE HIS CLASS!

Had Roberts for Media Writing and it was by far my favorite class. He made class interesting and was always helpful and gave good feedback on how to improve. I learned a lot in his class and I wish I could have him for more classes. Get him as a prof if you have a chance!

Took him for Media Writing. Very funny. Very helpful. He is a harsh grader, and takes points off for the smallest things. However, that is the point. You have to come to class or he will go crazy :)

I had Mr. Roberts in honors media writing last semester. In class, he was always willing to help with proofreading. His assignments were usually extremely relevant to the field; we would have to write articles or leads. Overall, he is a good teacher ... and if you ask him nicely, he may let the class have a party :D

Funny guy, good teacher. All the expectations are crystal clear from the very first day and you really have to work to get a good grade, but he is willing to help any way he can.

I love Mr. Roberts! He is extremely helpful and hilarious! Class is a challenge but makes every effort for you to get the grade you want if you talk with him. I was so relieved when I saw I signed up for a class with him this fall 2010!

Had him for media writing. very tough grader. stickler on tiny details-but that's the point in journalism. you have to actually go to class and work for your grade. No excuses with this guy. I don't know how he does it, but he can change your entire writing style in one course. I highly recommend! really nice guy. pretty funny too.

Looks like Ben Stiller, acts like Jim Carrey and grades like Hitler. Made a bear of a class fun, but be warned that he is anal on grammar and punctuation. I worked hard for a B, but learned more than in any other class I've taken. Take him if you can.
