    Dr. Robbins is hilarious, but make sure you study. I would have done better if I took an extra day or two. Essay grades were fair except that TA who graded mine was wrong with occasional parenthetical citation placements (of which I would cross reference with the MLA handbook). I looked forward to coming to her class. Yes you have to go to every class, but it was one of those classes that you wanted to go! She makes the lectures so interesting! I really learned a lot from her and I wish she taught more courses at FSU. Her tests aren't as bad, just take really good notes and pay lots of attention in class and you'll be fine ...Continue reading

    Pamela does a great job at lecturing. She is by far the best teacher I have had. She makes learning the material so much fun and is constantly cracking jokes during lectures. She assigns two tests (midterm and final), one paper, and has about 5 points worth of in class assignments. You need to show up and listen to lectures, but I would definitely recommend! Made me excited to go to class everyday! Definitely have to be a good note taker to do well. If youre up for the work and up for a comedy show twice a week take AMH with her!

If you wait until the last minute you are going to struggle. Definitely recommend! I took the online class fall 2016 and it's just like a lot of writing assignments all due on one day towards the end of the semester.

    This class is a huge pain and it could be a really interesting subject if he didn't waste everyones time by making meaningless lecture videos. All you learn is useless factoids. The behavior of the professor is bordering on DISRESPECTFUL considering that many students (LIKE ME) are paying a lot of money and taking out loans for our education here. P.S Don't miss anything. Messed up a submission and it cost me 10 - 20% of my grade. Why? I'm not sure because I didn't learn anything. Idk what the point of this class is. His lectures drone on with basic knowledge then you have to write about how it relates to your life.

    The idea of the class is to make you THINK on your own. It is hard to succeed when the instructions are so bare bones. Grading is very subjective and there is no feedback. A chunk of your grade is determined by pestering people for his research. And I really do mean pestering. Good sense of humor, though. The other reviews are totally valid and true, as well. However, you start to formulate some of your own opinions, thoughts, and ideas. Gives some people an idea of how ridiculous the workplace can be instead of the theoretical textbook version.
