Comment:

The class was enjoyable but I would suggest not taking his class. He likes to give examples from his life but the examples do not show up on the exam. He pulls all questions from a database. If he wrote his own questions from the examples he gives the class would be easier to understand. You will have no idea what he is putting on his exams. AVOID!

Comment:

If you want to listen about how youll fail out of college if you dont have an A in his class then take him. His lectures are boring they dont help with the exams. Youre better off just reading the book and teaching yourself. He requires you to be in class or else you have to outline chapters you missed. AVOID HIM!

Comment:

His class is based on lecture where he tried to give examples of the topic from his life stories. His exams, which is how and the only way you get your grade, is based off of the book that you dont even open in class. He feels the book is outdated but uses it for exams. If you take him get ready to spend hours upon hours outlining the book.

Marc was a very hard teacher. His lectures didnt match up with the book and it also didnt match up with his tests. He was a rude teacher and said some rude things to different students during class. I would not recommend taking his class.

He was an amazing professor! Even though tests are the main part to get you a grade if you study you'll do great ! Lots of personal stories that can help you to remember things during test time. I passed with a "B" .

By far the best professor I've had in my college career. His classes were very helpful, listening to his stories really helped me relate the information I learned. I learned a lot of information that has helped me throughout school and outside of school. Definitely a great guy!

Comment:

Dr. Marc has the best lectures filled with interesting and funny stories of his adventures that really helped me to comprehend the concepts. If you don't want to learn about psychology and just want the credits look elsewhere; if you want to truly understand the concepts and understand people and the world around you better, take this class.

Comment:

He is probably the best professor I have ever had. He is so helpful and makes the class fun and interesting. He likes people to actually participate in the conversation and I advise anyone who takes a class of his to take notes as he talks. He is pretty specific about what will and what will not be on the exam.

He is extremely difficult! His tests are like death, if you do poorly there is absolutely no way to make up for it! He gives long tests and one presentation project, no homework or extra credit! He teaches as if you already know the material and is fast paced. Be ready to go home and teach yourself! over half of my class dropped including me!!

Comment:

The tests were crazy difficult for me, and I'm usually a good tester. Lecture isn't enough to get you through them. You need to REALLY study EVERYTHING in the chapter. Even the little case study, speech bubble, and blurbs that you NEVER use in other classes, you need to know them for the test. Also, memorizing key terms won't get you a good grade.

I wouldn't recommend taking him. His lectures and the book don't go along with what he talks about. He is all over the place when lecturing and his tests a very difficult. He gives many examples to help but it doesn't seem too. Very nice but doesn't have anything other than test to help out grade. I wouldn't ever take him again

Awesome professor who gives you the tools to learn in a way that makes sense. Funny and informative. By far the best professor I have ever had. Class was so fun, I would take again in a heartbeat. Marc is a great teacher but you need to study what he goes over. He makes learning fun and gives you practical tools to guide you in your future endeavor

Dr. Marc is absolutely one of the best professors in the US. He genuinely cares that the students succeed. He gives ample opportunity to get the best grade possible. If you come to class, read the text, you will be fine. I cannot say enough nice things about him. He is an A+++ professor, an all around great guy!

Comment:

Dr. Marc is a fantastic teacher. His stories have the entire class cracking up. And you remember the material. Take his class, you won't regret it. The tests are a little tough, but if you do the reading and use the online quizzes from the book, you'll do fine!
