Dr. Robbins is one of the best professors that I have ever had. I did not do well on my first exam, therefore I set u a meeting with him and he really talks through everything with you and gives you tips on how to best study. He always answers his emails in reasonable time. His classes are fun/engaging. But do not miss class! You need to be there!

Switched to him as my advisor within two weeks of lecture. Really cares about his students, amazing lectures, and makes sure to get the material clearly. Really made me want to stay a psych major, since my freshman year wasn't amazing. 100000% would take another class from him.

Best professor I've had in my entire life. Within the first 5 mins of his class I realized I wanted to be like him, inspired me to want to do experimental psych. Genuinely good person, very caring in his own way, and goes out of his way to help if you show an interest. Great sense of humor. He's a real gem of a human being!

One of my favorite teachers!! He was so funny and I looked forward to coming to his class. He made learning fun and was nice to talk to around campus. I loved his off-topic rants and stories

I have taken 2 classes with Dr. Robbins, and will be doing my senior thesis with him, also. He is an amazing, hilarious, kind, and caring professor that actually gives a crap about his students. He is super understanding, and he is very easy to talk to. He will always make time to meet outside of class if you need help or advice.

I felt inspired after leaving his class. He's really funny and is willing to talk about content and help out outside of class. His lectures were comprehensive but sometimes it was hard to follow his connections. Taking notes was very helpful. He's very good at keeping his students' attention. He has an easy-to-listen-to voice.

One of the greatest profesors at Arcadia University. He was not only my professor, but he is also my adviser and the head of the Psych department. He makes the class as humorous as possible, he cares about what he teaches, and he cares about his students as well. Class attendance is up to you, but what you miss is on you. Great intro class.

Comment:

I absolutely loved Dr. Robbins. He honestly made me contemplate changing my major from bio to psych. Lecture was the best. He always kept the class going with his fun personality and corny intellectual jokes. Tests were not very hard but he is a tough grader which I hated (he grades with total points) he is available after class. he works with you

I've had him for multiple classes and he's, hands down, BEST PROFESSOR AT ARCADIA! He genuinely cares about the subject and his students and will always make time for those who need assistance.

love him! he made a seemingly boring subject really entertaining! classes are fun but make sure you pay attention because his tests can be very specific. my advice is go to class, take good notes, and use the textbook (trust me)

Literally the greatest professor I have ever had in my life. Makes every effort he can to make sure people understand the material, keeps students attention with being hilarious, easy going and down to earth. If I could take every single class with him, I would. But do NOT miss class, you honestly won't even want to.

Dr. Robbins is absolutely the best teacher I have had at Arcadia thus far. I had him for Learning and Cognition last semester and absolutely loved his teaching style. You definitely have to show up for class and you have to study, it's no easy A, but he gives you all the information you will need for every test. Make sure to follow the outlines.

He was the best teacher I had at Arcadia. I almost did not transfer just because I wanted to keep taking classes with him. He is so wonderful and passionate about what he teaches. If you don't like your grade, you can talk to him and he will give you tips on how to be better prepared for his exams. He was a life saver my freshman year.
