Comment:

Lots of notes from his lectures. No textbook. Did not need to do the extra readings. The exams were directly from his lectures. Boring but easy if you take good notes. He is very helpful and a nice guy. Quizzes were easy too. I learned a lot.

Comment:

The online course was not easy, but compared to the in class one, it was easier. The labs were not difficult, as he marked super easy on them. There is a "group" project, start on it early, as you can't get into a group at the last minute. Exams were difficult. the averages were in the 50s & 60s. Considering how little I studied, ended up doing ok

Comment:

Interesting material, online course notes are well-written (rarer than you'd think). VERY clear as to what he expects for assignments, which makes it possible to get very good marks. Also, no course textbook, just a $20 dollar readings package, which is something more profs need to do.

Marinel gives sweet marks, and that's gravy. But holy ham sandwich, is his stuff dry. Get a good night's sleep before his class.

Extremely easy marker! Tells you everything you need to have in your assignemnts and grades based on that. Very clear about what he is looking for. However, don't need to go to class, just read the assigned text.
