I absolutely loved Robin for micro 304! You can tell that she really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. I cannot speak highly enough of Robin and I would recommend her to any students enrolling in 304.Rate My Professors ↗
Robin really helped me like micro!! Took 101 and 102 at the same time and the material overlapped so it was pretty easy. One homework assignment and a quiz every week for this class. The class was hybrid and we went into lab 5x this semester, every other week. Definitely recommend going to office hours because she is super helpful if you just ask!Rate My Professors ↗
Robin is very helpful and makes the class simple. Readings are complementary, and are typically not on the exam. The quizzes associated with them are somewhat hard but they are open notes online. Exams make up the majority of the grade, but tophat and other minor extra credit is offered. Final is noncumulative too.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Kurtz is amazing. She makes everything very clear for what you will need to know for the exam. Exams are straight forward, not difficult if you look over the study guides she provides. The weekly readings and quizzes are a little difficult but not bad. Tophat used for attendance. Gives extra credit towards the end for a little boost.Rate My Professors ↗
Robin is awesome! Loved having her for lab. It's clear she knows her stuff, and is very straightforward and helpful. Microbio 304 is a heavy hitting class, but she makes it fun and very doable!Rate My Professors ↗
Robin is so awesome. The lectures are very clear & theyre all recorded so if you miss 1 or 10 its very easy to be caught up. Beware there is required top hat. Robin gives you study guides for all the units, and thats all you really need to study. Lots of extra credit in the end, so if you just study the minimum an A should be no problem.Rate My Professors ↗
