Comment:

Online course was difficult and wish I hadn't taken it honestly. Takes weeks to grade things so I was unaware of my grade most of the quarter walking into the final. Hard to learn the material correctly not being in the classroom. Not an easy A+, but his feedback is thorough. If you enjoy online classes and understand the topic, then you'll be fine

Comment:

Fr. Robinson is a really amazing lecturer. I wish we could've gone past the surface level of the subject, but thats hard to in nine weeks. Very lenient grader. He wants you to succeed, but you have to show that you're making an effort. Only complaint I have was the delay in updating grades.

Comment:

I try to write what he wants to read but he always finds every flaw or concept that doesn't make sense to him and therefore will deduct points. He is an unfair grader and has favorites. If I could put a zero I would.

Comment:

Reverend Christopher Robinson is a true gem. He's funny, accessible, and caring. The lectures were heavy and he wrote all over the board with chalk so you have to keep up with the notes. Attendance is mandatory, there is a 400 word week update, 5 quizzes (most will be waived), and a midterm and final paper. Terrible at updating grades though.

Comment:

Fr. Robinson is an incredibly smart and cool man but, in all fairness, completely dropped the ball in our course. He claimed that "he got busy" in like week three of the quarter and literally did not grade a single thing from then on, just giving us all 100s. It was nice, except you did not know if you actually understood anything he presented.

Comment:

I know he is incredibly attentive to his students, but the amount of assignments due on a weekly basis does not make this an easy A+. Not saying that is a bad thing but if you are looking for an easy online class do not take this one. You usually have a quiz, one-page paper over 25+ pages of reading and forum discussion/ask 2 questions every week.

Comment:

Father Chris' class is organized, clear, and perfect for those looking to fill their religion requirement. The only negative is you don't receive any feedback on your work, not even on the midterm and final. Great online class, highly recommend.

Father Chris is the absolute best! TAKE HIM!!!! He is an incredibly fair grader, and always there if you need extra help. He caters the class to the intelligence level and interests of the students and it is incredible. He is my favorite professor at DePaul thus far.

Comment:

Fr. R is great! He expects you to read a lot of the textbook and only touches on other info in class. Weekly 'updates' are easy, midterm is open note, final is a 10 page paper. He is excited to help you outside of class and will do his best to help you get an A. He does not force participation. Very interesting course, learned a lot. Be open minded

This class is great. The professor keeps the class very interesting for everyone. Not very much homework, just a page update every week. Then a final paper that is 10 pages, not bad.

Comment:

Fr. Robinson is a great person and professor. This class is definitely one of the least challenging/interesting religion courses at DPU. Buy the book because he expects you to read and know more than just what he talks about in class for exams and short weekly papers. There's also an attendance sheet but overall easy class.

Comment:

Kind and cares about your grade, but lectures cram so much information into an 1.5 hr period that it is overwhelming. Rarely engages w/ the class- just talks. He mostly graded assignments on time and did give feedback, but it was confusing feedback (I consistently received bad grades on things I was sure I had aced w/ little explanation from him)

Comment:

Professor Robinson is one of the best professors i have had at DePaul. He is honestly one of the most genuine people i have ever met. Before his class i had lost most faith in all religious figures due to the fact that i could not get behind their thought process. After taking Prof. Robinson's course my opinion has been completely reinvented.

Incredibly intelligent & knows what he's talking about, uses lots of examples to clarify concepts & class discussions are interesting. The posts below aren't lying-its week 9 & so far the only grade we've gotten back is on the midterm but he does grade easy. He said the worst he gives is a C. Attendance sheet, so don't skip. He's very nice!

Comment:

Rev. Robinson definitely knows what he is talking about and is a great resource for religion. However, he did not grade one assignment the whole quarter or give any feedback. He told everyone they received A's on the midterm and I turned in all of my assignments, so I expected an A. However, my grade was lower than expected. His grading is unclear.

Fr. Robinson is a nice guy, but NOT a good professor.. His lectures are tHE longest lectures I have ever sat through and I felt like we were constantly building a foundation for something that we BARELY discussed in class. He also is terrible about posting grades and I received absolutely NO feedback on my work. Nice guy, but I wouldn't take him.

Robinson was a really nice person, but a terrible professor... He did not give us ANY grades until week 9 when the quarter was almost over, and then provided absolutely zero feedback to our work... I was looking forward to his class but was thoroughly dissapointed with the content and complete lack of feedback. Class was a perpetual build up...

Comment:

Professor Robinson is hilarious and sincerely cares about his students, but the class itself was not what I was expecting. We learned more about the history of religions instead of debating about anything. He lectures for the full hour and a half, and is tough about attendance and participation. I suggest taking only if you are ready to do work.

Wonderful man, cares about students a lot. Gives out A's consistently to the class. Did not find the material very interesting. He will embarrass you if you text/talk or type in class by calling you out. Sign in sheet daily- don't skip class.
