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, 18 Days 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??)

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.

Marks is a great professor that teaches very straightforward and makes his expectations clear. At times those expectations (especially on homework) are very strict, but Marks gives opportunities to make up past errors. One of the best teachers you'll find.

This was my first real engineering course at ucsb (and my first time being on campus since we lost last year to covid). I can say Marks puts a lot into the course and his students. He was always willing to help me, even on personal projects (I wanted to add lights to my board - Marks also teaches electronics so he had a lot of advice).

Really just not a great teacher. In over his head. Inconsistent grading and inconsistent application of course policies throughout the class; often seems like things are being made up as we go along. Stubborn and rude to kids, especially when being given constructive criticism.
