 Pros: go to class and he will tell you the answers to the bonus questions on the upcoming exam - which are usually super random and have nothing to do with what you are learning
Cons: he is kind of a jerk

 Pros: all test material comes from the book not lecture notes and he sends you the study topics
Cons: test days are a little stressful the way he hands out the tests, get to class early on test days
As long as you understand the study topics he sends out and know the definitions you will get an A

 Pros: Its almost impossible not to get an A in this class. He is very funny and I enjoyed his lectures, even though they are hard to follow and not needed for the tests
Cons: It is a lot of work, there are 3 6-10 page paper due throughout the semester but the lowest grade he gives on them is an 88! I wrote all my papers the night before they were due and got a 95 on all of them. Also you will walk out of his test feeling like you failed but he curves so much its ridiculous.

 Robertson is my favorite professor I have ever had. I would take every class from him if I could.
