I loved Prof Robert she is very caring and always checks in on students to see how they are doing. This class is easy is you go to lecture there are guest speakers the second half of the semester and this is very interesting and nice. The exams are easy if you show up to the lectures and listen the answers reflect it. I would recommend!!Rate My Professors ↗

She is incredibly kind and truly cares about her students. This was my FIG class and it helped me transition to college. The class was basically a discussion, with easy and interesting assignments. She regularly checked in by email and was very understanding if you missed class. Attendance is mandatory, but it was one of my favorite classes.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Robert is truly the most caring professor ever. Granted, I had her as my FIG professor so the course itself was very easy, but she truly cares about every single student. Always willing to meet outside of class to talk, answers emails incredibly fast, and loves to hear about your life because she truly just cares. Very grateful for her!Rate My Professors ↗
I had a really great time in Prof Roberts class! She was super kind, and really helped ease my transition into college. The class was super easy and was mostly composed of short assignments and in class small group and large group discussions. She was clearly very passionate about her work which kept the class engaging and fun.Rate My Professors ↗
Super caring person who generally took interest in her students and was optimistic about them doing well in the class. Homework assignments were short readings/videos with replies. Grades come from group or optional individual assignments/papers. The class was general and focused on a broad list of social problems that provoked class discussions.Rate My Professors ↗
Steph does a great job engaging her students, and she cares so much about her students that she spends the time memorizing everyones name with their face. She is very passionate about social welfare, and you can tell she has a lot of experience with it. I would take this class again in a heartbeat, I wish she taught more classes!Rate My Professors ↗
