Comment:

I do not have any pity or sympathy for the students who complain on here about their low GPA's and scores. You all continue to neglect the professor's rating and take his classes. The reason why he still teaches at KPU is because you people keep taking his class. Stop taking his class and you won't have a problem.

Comment:

Homeboy CANNOT interact with other human beings. He made me cry on more than one occasion and absolutely crushed my passion for learning. If you want to be spoken to like you're a complete idiot, by all means - sign up. My GPA is still recovering from this dude's "teaching methods". I don't get why tf he's still employed.

This man has issues. Why do students keep willingly put their GPA's on the line with guy? Strong warning: do not sign up for his classes. Save your trouble and wait a semester. It's simply not worth the mental energy trying to pass his class.

If you want to do well, make sure you do not skip any class,takes notes and don't be afraid to ask questions. His lectures weren't boring, but actually easy to listen too. Some people may think he is awful, but as long as you don't fall behind, you will do well.

Comment:

He's an awesome professor when it comes to the lectures, the lectures were very interesting and easy to listen to. But there is no home work only exams (5 exams to be exact) and they are based both off the lectures and the readings so I suggest not to skip class and to keep up on the readings.

Comment:

Has unrealistic expectations and is not flexible or considerate of student lives. Course material and assignments are given as if you are only taking his course and dedicating your entire life to his class. Also changes schedule As well, I had a grandfather that passed away and he demanded the death certificate AND the funeral schedule as "proof".

he gives the hardest tests ever! and they're all open ended questions.. prepare to fail his tests because he gives you 3 packages to do part a, b, and c except for part c which is multiple choice questions around 70 questions and he doesnt give part c to you unless u finished a and b. if u fail his tests u fail the class since there's only 1 assign

Read absolutely everything he gives you; handouts, online readings & textbook material. Memorize EVERYTHING. His exam questions are open ended & his expectations for the answers SO arbitrary, it will be hard to pass. He curves all exams because majority fail. He is rude, disrespectful & will make sure you know how incompetent YOU are. Good luck :(

Worst prof ever he treats everyone bad and doesnt like to help students at all. He changes things in course on a whim and doesnt explain well. Tests are super hard and lecture heavy. You have to take notes no PowerPoints. Treats his class and tests like its the only thing you are doing in life. Do not take unless you have too

Comment:

Normally an A student and I failed this class. There is no way to win with this guy. He has an absolute disdain for students. Even if you need this class do not take it with him. If you still do after reading all of these reviews, well god help you, you'll need it. Prepare to be abused.

This guy is freaking horrible! I'm 2 months into the class and I'm already failing. I want to withdraw but I don't want to loose money. His teaching method is no goodhe doesn't have any powerpoints with his lectures and it's so hard to follow what he says. His lectures & the textbook literally have no parallel. & he's the only prof who teaches 2331

franco marino is the worst professor I've ever had! his tests are a bundle of written paragraphs! literally all 20 questions has to be answered in the form of a paragraph! and he provides no criteria sheet in preparation for his tests! and his notes are useless can't really study from it..
