Good
The class of Professor Robinson isn't structured around exams. It's rather a building business plan profile throughout the semester, which leads to a final presentation. He is easy to talk to, very helpful and is knowledgeable on how to keep the class interested and engaged. He also invited guest speakers to sit in and talked about relevant, real-world situations. I recommend that you must take his class.
