Comment:

Mark is a funny guy and a wonderful professor. He explains topics in a fun way to help us remember/understand. He has 4 extra credit options!! the homework he assigns once a week takes hours, and its due before we even cover that material, which is hard, but they do help. He posts exam reviews online which are word for word on the actual exam.

Mark is an awesome teacher. He gives out A LOT of homework but it actually forces you to learn the material. He made the class a lot of fun and is really interested in teaching this subject! He also gives out extra credit. I would defiantly recommend him!

Comment:

Very well liked, he is a chemistry major & is passionate about it. Lectures are long, talks a long time but doesn't put you to sleep. Study time is a must if you want to pass. practice tests & crash course videos he had helped. Didn't like our pre-assignments due before we discussed a new section, would have preferred them after.

He's an amazing professor. You do have to study and work hard. He really knows and loves what he's teaching, and truly wants students to learn. I highly recommend taking him for Bio 152. Make sure to do your work asap, & extra-credits. Don't let it accumulate. Having a study group really helps, especially to study for the lab practicals.

We had 4 tests and a final exam. The tests were all over covered material and consisted of short & long answers as well as drawings. The final exam was comprehensive and multiple choice. This professor used multiple teaching methods including lecture, hands on demonstrations, lab, and lots of links & materials were available to assist you as well.

Comment:

Mark is a great professor, but makes you work for your grade. Pre-assignments take forever and they're over subjects you haven't even learned yet, which I hated. But gives 4 extra credit opportunities, which are a must for nursing students. Gives you lots of tips and tricks to remember things. Tests aren't that bad if you study & do surveys online

Comment:

preassignments take hours & hours and jump around to different chapters, and will mark you down for wrong answers, even though you haven't learned the material yet! Long test, with a lot of short answer! do yourself a favor and don't take him! Want a fighting chance, take Aaron Drake!!!! Robertson is literally the worst teacher!!!!

I took this course over the spring semester so it was a condensed course. He let us know that this would be a tough course but that we would pass if we put in the time and effort. there is a lot of busy work but its worth doing. He is a great guy and really cares. Pick him.

Mark is full of energy and highly intelligent. Participate! You will not regret taking his class, however you will work for your grade. You WILL learn!! Hours long homework assignments, tough practicals and tests- you will be proud of yourself! Do the extra credit-could make the difference between pass or retake for nursing.

Great teacher overall, however this class is not easy. If you want to do well DO NOT wait till the day of or the night before to study. Pre-assignments take a few hours to do, but they're extremely helpful. Test and practicals are separate, and the practice test & surveys are great study tools.

Comment:

He is very excited about teaching, really knows the material. Very interesting and helpful. I'm not the type that gets excited about science, but it's helpful that he is because it's so much easier to learn that way. Tests are hard, but he gives you everything you need to learn the material.

He is a really great guy. Keeps lectures interesting. He offers extra credit which was really helpful. Tests are hard and you have to put in the hours to pass this class. He is always willing to help you better understand the material though. Glad I took this class with him.

Mark is a good instructor, however his class is really tough. You have to study a lot! He does give study guides for tests except the final (which is really hard) but it makes the test possible if you do them. Practicals require lots of studying but he does work with the class to teach you. He does offer extra credit which is nice.

Very helpful, wants you to succeed. Lectures are long, yet he keeps them interesting. All of the PowerPoints for his lectures are online so you can just print them out. It is not an easy A, but he does give you all of the tools you need to pass. You have to study a lot though outside of class. Also he does offer extra credit.

Mr. Robertson is the best professor to take for BIO152. This class is challenging, but he breaks down complex subjects so you can understand. He offers extra credit, has practice tests online that REALLY help, and makes memorization easier with tricks to remember. You'll have to put effort in, but he will help you whenever you need it!

Comment:

The class in general is very tough. Robertson is probably one of you best options for professors in this course. He does give you the chance to do extra credit & he will work with you on anything you need, you just need to put in the time. I would NOT recommend taking any other classes with this one, you need to FOCUS.
