Comment:
I had mark as a professor for J1. Our very fret assignment (that I worked extremely hard on) EVERY single person in the class FAILED! I was absolutely terrified of him. However, if you let him, he will teach you everything you need to know. I ended up receiving the highest grade on our final. Give him time and patience.

Comment:
I wasn't a fan. He's a smart man who will make you think, but overall, he's not necessarily patient or insightful. One thing I noticed about him, is that he takes himself quite seriously for a younger professor, which is usually a negative, and he tends to only reach out to a few students. I guess I didn't make the shortlist.

He was rediculious. His grading policy was horrible and didn't make sense at all. I don't recommend him to anyone. He fails a lot of people.

Comment:
I LOVED HIM AS A PROF. Sure, he was a hard ass, but having him made me work harder in all other courses. The other journalism professors [George mostly] grade far too easily and make you feel like you're still in junior high. Having Mark was a blessing in disguise, I'm completely anal about what I write now. Gold star for the rapper! : )

He's so boring, he comes across as a failed journalist, he expects you to read totally bland books as readings, but doesnt talk about them or remind u in class, and he dresses like he's been in the hospital for a week

I think Mark was dating a girl from my class. He was so ridiculous, not helpful whatsoever...I totally lost interest in the class...and my major! And he is the ultimate reason I left Purchase! Jerk!

Professor Petras expects you to teach yourself and he nevers gives a straight answer for anything... thats great and all because it makes you a better journalist but it comes off as him not being prepared to teach you. BTW he's a ****

He's a great teacher. I like the fact that he gives students a "D" if they misspell a sources' name. He's very friendly and approachable, also.

petras is bonkers. he won't check his email because all email sent on the purchase server is technically state property and thus is not private correspondence. there was a well-publicized case in texas where a college president's dirty letters to his secr
