Mark is a really funny and clear teacher. He is willing to help outside of class. I loved his class! Homework was extra credit which helped a ton. :)

Don't trust these old reviews! I can tell Mark has been improving on validating all student's questions. He talks quickly but clearly. Quizzes are easy. Exams are hard but fair. Homework is extra credit. I was scared to have him as a professor, but now I am pleased with the instruction I received. However, one thing: prepare for lots of sassiness!

This has been by far the hardest class I've taken yet. Mark does not make the class easy and he expects ALOT from his students. He refuses to answer generalized questions, so be prepared!He has NO patience for ignorance or excuses. If you let him, Mark will help you through this class, but as I said...be prepared! Study, study, study!

Great teacher for chemistry. He is very straightforward and expects you to put in the time outside of class to earn your grade. Homework is optional, and given as extra credit towards tests (this is very helpful to your overall grade). He has practice tests available online that mirror his exams. I would definitely take him again for chem.

Great teacher with a clear and easy to follow teaching style. Extremely fair grader. Places an emphasis on doing homework and reading but doesn't skimp on covering important material during lectures. Class had weekly quizzes, and interesting/engaging labs.

I think he is a great teacher that has changed my view on chemistry. I was interested in it before but he actually prompted me to change my program to chem. He has a lot of energy and passion for chem and it shows. He challenges and expects the class to work hard, but ultimately he wants his students to succeed and gives credit where credit is due.

DO NOT GET HIM AS YOUR TEACHER! He is very mean and not very helpful and very moody. If you do not learn the way he teaches your screwed!

I do not recommend him. His tests are extremely hard and he grades subjectively. He picks his favorites and does not hesitate to belittle his students.

Study the worksheet!!!! His quizzes are all about the worksheets. Great guy. Very unhelpful when you need help. Very passionate about his work and about science history.

Very nice person, but very confusing test and quiz questions. Homework isn't required, but is extra credit. That really helped me out! Don't be afraid to visit his office, he is very willing to help.

Mark is a really hard teacher. He has made very rude comments to me and other students. Chemistry is a very hard subject and I would not recommend taking it with him. He is funny at times as he is teaching but if you talk to him in private he is quick to belittle you.

He is hilarious. Really HARD tests, but if you do the practive worksheets and practiev tests, they are practically the same. He's not as mean as people think, he's just gruff.

Mark was a great teacher. He expects his students to be adults, and treats them as such. He won't answer some questions though, if he knows that the answers are plainly stated in the book (ie. if knows you haven't even bothered to glance at the chapter. His tests are hard, but are exactly like his practice questions.

Some of the comments make me laugh. Mark is a GREAT teacher, but is you need hand holding go somewhere else. He treats you like an adult. His exams are really hard, but EXACTLY like what he practices in class and on worksheets.

Mark is a very difficult teacher to learn from. Although he is brilliant he is condescending and rude. He will not answer your question if he does not feel it is intelligently stated. His quizzes are straight-forward but his tests are not. I did well in his class but only because I put in the time. E-mail is the easiest way to communicate with him

Mark is a good teacher. He expects that you will do you work and not ask ridiculous questions. He does joke around a lot and sometimes is hard to figure out. The exams are hard, but fair.
