Comment:

I took Robinson's geology class at Pepperdine. He is one of the most helpful and straightforward professors I've had. With that said, he really did try his best to make the class interesting. His lectures are a bit dated, as he uses a slide projector, but you can still follow his lectures and he is always available to answer questions .

Comment:

I took Geology with Professor Robinson at Pierce. He is honestly a very amazing lecturer and he really cares about his students! You really need to study to pass his class but you'll like and learn a lot. He has good sense of humor too, which really helps us to relax after heavy lectures. Take his class!

Comment:

Lecture outline is required. The book is unnecessary, you can gather all the information needed from the lectures. His jokes are so cheesy. But that made class a bit interesting. T/F exams and extra credit is offered during the semester. Definitely helps.

Comment:

This professor is really easy. I missed literally half class, and the other half I would day dream. I would study literally a couple hours before the exam, that's how easy the exam is. Just do the questions at the end of his book, that's ALL. He tries to make the class funny. Fast talker, so if you want to take notes, make friends in the class.

Comment:

He comes off as mean but he's actually pretty fun once you get used to him. You only need his lecture outline and you fill it in throughout the semester. Tests are extremely easy if you study outline. He has a very odd sense of humor and is pretty strange, but like I said, once you get used to it, it's a pretty enjoyable class and easy A!

Ok I loved this guy! The subject is dull,but he uses his vacation pics and he's a great photographer! makes very funny / random jokes. Make sure to do the lecture outline and study for the tests ( which are all T/F) but he's a pretty easy a and very amusing. Recommended. ps. he wears awesome skechers.

Comment:

Robinson's class is so easy to pass. He gives you so many bonus points for the most random things. There is no reason why you should fail. His class is boring though. He teaches using slides, and goes through them quick. I also think he is too impatient with students.

Throughout the class he was always really funny and made everything interesting. He would make you feel dumb if you ask questions sometimes but all tests are T/F and he doesn't use a book, only his own workbook that you have to buy. EASY A!! Love him

His class is hard! don't know what people mean about an easy A. he doesn't really have time to help you outside class which is frustrating. interesting material though, and he can be kinda funny.

Comment:

I am a great student, get good grades etc. and i can tell you do not take class with him. Is this what tenure is about? HORRIBLE, psycho path teachers with personality disorders who don't give a bleep about students and are allowed to stay? I'm sure there are hundreds of young grad students who would love to take his place and should.

funny guy. hates obama and blames him for the recession even though it was the bush administration that laid all that mess on to anyone who stepped into the whitehouse, liberal or republican. he reads funny jokes and the class was very interesting. his teaching method was also helpful. all the steps to getting a good grade are printed out for you

Comment:

I really appreciated how he lectured with his slides. Visuals really help. He's a bit on the manipulative side which leads some students to become super kiss a**es to get those bonus points. He knows it too. But don't worry, you can still get an A without them. Don't be afraid to ask questions, he wants to help.

Comment:

I just finished the winter semester with him. He ISNT an ****, he has a sense of humor, and he always helps you. He seems mean at first, but after a few classes, he's awesome. The tests were around medium difficulty for me, but I'm no good at geology. If you study, getting an A isn't that hard. Dont be afraid to take him, unless your super lazy.
