Comment:

Be prepared to be ignored. Horrible time management, almost 3 weeks into the term and still hasn't looked at my paper, responded to email and since I can't continue in the course until he gives approval, I'm on hold until he decides to get his act together. What a colossal waste of time. He really should be ashamed.

Very slow and bad marker. Makes a lot of mistakes and doesnt like when students bring them to his attention. The course is easy though.

Comment:

Robert was both hard to please and vague in feedback. The only real information I ever got was "too wordy", without actually telling me clearly what to do. Every time I tried to follow the muddy instructions I got, it still wasn't good enough. Overall, he made me feel frustrated, inadequate, and left in the dark. I love English, but not this class.

Comment:

Absolute worst. Takes forever to grade assignments and is overly critical. Many comments are about preference as opposed to any sort of concrete issue. Agreed to have my work graded by a specific date and did not. Thoroughly unimpressed. Would never recommend. Avoid if at all possible. Will take literal weeks to grade assignments.

Doesn't adhere to service standards. Will be vindictive if you contact Student Services about his lax approach to teaching.

Comment:

Red pen on assignments is excessive. While some comments are fair, others just seem overly critical and matter of preference as opposed to accuracy. The course material available does not match the level of the instructors expectations. Expect lower grades than usual with this instructor/course.

Comment:

While this professor is quite approachable and pleasant to speak with, he is a very tough grader, and often marks based on elements that are quite subjective. When asking questions, he sometimes doesn't actually answer or give insight. Yet his feedback in assignments - while critical at times - IS clearly intended to help.

Comment:

Dr. Wiznura is a great professor who challenged me to do my best. He is a tough-grader in a good way, as he you can see that he actually wants to help you improve your skills. The only reason I didn't give him a higher rating is because I am a tough-grader myself ;)

Comment:

Ready to receive a lot of unconstructive comments that are meant to justify the awful marks that he will give you. Don't be alarmed by the red markings that will be all over your assignments that leaves you frustrated and confused. Your assignment will be graded almost on deadlines so 3wks or lil under. DONT take it, if you got options!

Comment:

I'm finding him to be a tough grader. Although I was expecting this course to be more challenging than high school obviously (and I did very well), I did not anticipate it being this frustrating. He gives a lot of criticism. A lot. It would be helpful if it actually gave you insight. very frustrating..
