Rob is the man! His classes are all pretty similar in that if you go to class, pay attention, and do a little studying before tests you should get at least an AB. He also usually takes improvement in test scores into consideration when grading which is nice if you do poorly on the first test.

Class is helpful for the exams. Exams are 30 multiple choice and 5 short answer. Study in detail. Questions are structured like A,B,C (Just A and B), D (None of the above). Study the "things to know" sheet he gives out but again, pay attention to details. Also, know the equations by heart

Rob is a great guy easy to talk to, especially if you are looking to get into a PF career also very helpful with homework. Lecture can be boring at times, but he is enthusiatic about what he teaches and it shows. To get an A just pay attention in lecture especially when he starts speaking up cuz there is a pretty good chance it will be on the exam.

Rob is super! If you need help to go office hours. He also gives great career advice. Even though lecture may be dull sometimes, if you go to class, read over the lecture slides, and skim the book you should at least get an A/B.
