"Professor Roberg is my favorite professor. I've taken four classes with him, and
I have come away from all of them with not only much more knowledge but a greater interest in the subject matter. His organization, thoroughness, and knowledge base make every class a positive learning experience."
— Ellen Klahn, '11
