Comment:

Had him for first half of the semester. I wish I could have him back for the second half since the new prof is terrible. Actually works with you from the command line and encourages you to immerse yourself in Linux in class and outside. New prof just reads off slides. Unforgiving marker (no part marks) though it makes sense.

Best professor I ever had. He cares about you, helps you whenever you are struggling to understand the concept. His quizzes are awesome, he gives you the knowledge of the stuff that is not in the syllabus. He knows his stuff and have great knowledge of Linux.

Mark Fernandes is a horrible teacher, wont help anyone during any Practical Tests or anything. Tells you a little clue and walks away when you have a problem and puts no effort into trying to help his students.

He is one of the worst teacher! I had him for ULI101, he is not the greatest. He is a tough grader, test are tough, his lectures are not the greatest, he sometimes goes off topic during lectures. I would not recommended him at all. If you have the chance of switching his class, DO IT!!!!!!

Comment:

He sounds like he knows what he is talking about half the time but really he tries to seem relatable, but fails at it by going off topic. He has bland lectures that teach you absolutely nothing. Treats the students with little respect especially, since he wants so superior to everyone by acting like he knows everything. Ask a question get shamed.

Comment:

WORST TEACHER!! worst teaching technique. Goes thru verrry fast specially for a course that is all about commands and understanding. Very confusing . Simply does not understand that for many of us it is our first time seeing these stuff and we do not have the same knowledge as him. EXTREMELY HARD GRADER

Comment:

He clearly enjoys teaching, and he really knows his stuff, but he just isn't that great at the teaching aspect. Most people appeared to fail. Just ask questions non-stop, and make sure you use external resources on your own time.

Comment:

Quite possibly the worst prof at Seneca. Comes into class with little understanding of the material and spends the whole class stumbling through what little material he has brought. Often he'd just mumble to himself after his example crashes for the bulk of the class then change topics without covering anything. Has no interest in helping students.

It was his first time teaching INT422. Lectures were slow and confusing. Course was scary because 4 weeks in he's taught me almost nothing. You have to self learn everything.

He uses Wikipedia to teach material. He needs students to teach concepts. He'll be teaching himself as he attempts to teach. Give me his pay, I can go in everyday and not teach. Ho ho ho hoh...

Comment:

If you had any interest in Linux prior you will lose all of that once you take his class. Puts thing's on tests that haven't been covered lacks empathy. Enjoys seeing people fail, smirks at ppl pain. Made jokes about failing ppl. I guess he doesn't understand that some ppl have to work hard to save money to go to school. He'd rather see you fail.
