Comment:

Most intelligent professor I've ever had. There is a lot of reading but to be honest you don't NEEEED to do the readings. If you are smart and can analyze well you don't need to read all the time. Just make sure you take amazing notes. Class is usually small so you have chances to participate. Don't be scared to raise your hand. And don't be scared to ask a question. He is very approachable. BIG on the form of writing. Not so much context.

Comment:

Extremely smart. hard reading but the lectures are great! but I dont think he is very good at encouraging students. There were some ppl in class who said nothing the whole semester,and to be honest I can see why. He's a little intimidating/makes the situation stressful. it made him seem unapproachable. expert/scholar but not a teacher.

Comment:

The man will help you write the best paper possible. But he will break you down with his incredibly harsh criticisms. This guy is the Gordon Ramsey of the Poly Sci department. If you are lazy, forget about him. But if you are looking for a challenge (or stress) and you can the heat, then go for it. But may God have mercy on you if you do.

What a teacher! I rarely have one that actually makes you think for yourself! If you are a slacker, DO NOT take his classes. If you are really interested in it and value your education, JUMP ON HIM! you have to show up to class and understand the material before you come to class, but it is well worth a world of knowledge that he gives you.

Comment:

He is beyond brilliant. Absolutely the best teacher I've ever had. I have his class first thing in the morning and I spend the whole day smiling. But he's not what I would call kind; a really tough grader, and he won't hesitate to call you on your bull. He expects a lot, but it's worth it.

Comment:

he's not bad at all, really need to read the work to understand wats goin on. the midtrem and final are papers that 5 pages or less, so thats not bad. talk in class is a must, and u have to be in class too. i would have gotten a better grade if it wasnt for 3 people in class that ALWAYS had something to say, but his grading isnt that hard at all.

You need to know how to write to do well. If you can write a good essay, the class is not too bad because he'll read your rough drafts and give you a thorough evaluation of what you need to add or take out. His lectures were also always very interesting, so I highly reccomend his class.

his const. law and counter-rev classes are intellectually rigorous. not for the stupid or lazy. gives honors credit for the asking; at his level of challenge you deserve it. bring your A game or get the smack down. and read his book on political fear.

Comment:

Took him for Con. Law and Counterrevolution. The best professor I've ever had in my life. He's a tough grader, but on the same note he's more than willing to help with your writing if you ask. Take this man, even if you don't do well, you'll have learned a hell of alot more from him than you ever expected to learn in college period. He's brilliant!

Professor Robin will actualy teach you something!!! He is far from easy. There are no exams, just two take home essays. However, you better be a decent writer, otherwise you are in serious trouble. He is willing to help you if you ask for help. For example, you can submit a rough draft of your paper. Lectures are very interesting,tough grader

Excellent Professor! If you're looking for a challenge, he's your guy. The readings are always very interesting, and so are class discussions. He's great if you're a hard worker and really want to learn sth.

Comment:

I was absolutely repulsed by Prof. Robin. The entire class, including the readings, was from the point of dissent. The class was listed as a constituional law class but instead it focused on the first ammendment (for the entire semester). I was very dissappointed with the class content. Teachers should engage their students not repel them!

Engaging classes, interesting reading material. Take-home essay tests, so you can spend much more time concentrating and writing a good paper (rather than trying to throw something together in a half hour like with in-class tests). Just be on time, do the readings, and participate. Great professor!

He was a tough grader, but if you work hard, you will get what you deserve. Honestly I enjoyed taking his class and it kept me awake and going. I have a lot of respect for him.
