Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
I genuinely learned a lot in Robin's class. However, he is a ridiculously hard grader, has no rubrics, grades on the smallest details that don't really matter, etc. I learned a lot in this class, but I'll probably walk away with a BC which is really disappointing. If he is going to grade so harshly, he needs to be a lot more clear.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 5/5
Extremely hard grader with assignments/reports which is ironic since he makes so many typos on all his ppts. Exam not comprehensive of material learned. Otherwise a fun class to take!

Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
The best professor I have ever had in college, no debate. Is a very accredited academic in the field of marketing. Every year, Tanner goes out of his way to tailor his course to match the current cultural zeitgeist. Eccentric personality reflected in his class, NEVER BORING! Actually used what I learned from Tanner to secure job offers.
