ME6 . Marks T G 2 Months Ago

Prof. Marks has high expectations for his students and is a stickler for detail in homework. This is justified, though - his lectures are excellent, and he expects students to really apply themselves to the subject matter.

ME6 . Marks T G 2 Months Ago

Dr. Marks gives all his students the best experiences, and he really treated us as a true mechanical engineer in training. I highly recommend taking one of his classes as a beginning of study in the ME major.

ME6 . Marks T G 8 Months Ago

Dr. Marks is a great prof. if a bit of sarcastic. has little patience for students that arent prepared. he was always ready to help me and everyone else that showed up at office hours. I approached him about a personal project and he was more than happy to help me out, even printed 3d parts. Honestly, I like him.

ME6 . Marks T G 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

I am not leaving this review for ME6 only as unfortunately he is very involved in the ME department and teaches a lot of other classes. Mean, misogynistic, and condescending. Lectures suck and he moves too quickly, and is not nice when you ask him questions (he lectures you on why you should know the answer already??)
