Marks is a great resource and helped with projects outside of the class.

Professor Marks seems to enjoy being the "tell it like it is" professor. His lectures are detailed and entertaining. Labs and homework are challenging, but smart and reasonable overall. Grading is slightly weird, but lenient. He clearly cares a lot about teaching, but his philosophies and bits can sometimes create difficulty for the wrong reasons.

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.

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.

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.

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??)

He is outright rude to students when they ask for help. Refuses to provide any sort of assistance in lab or on homework when students are struggling. Expect sarcastic comments and little to no help. His lectures are fine, but his class, and especially lab, is horribly run and extremely disorganized.

I loved this class. There is so much actual engineering. Best class so far!

Good lecture slides and fair tests. Would give a 5 but grading scale for homework was harsh.
