Comment:

Great teacher, he shows lots of intrest in his students, and if you show interest back, he will remember you for a long time. Likes trick questions, but if you get creative with your answers, you get credit for them. Life is too short to complain about one question. I thought it was funny, answered it sarcastically and got partial credit for it

Okay, now that you have changed your testing format, I enjoyed your class thoroughly. Your knowledge and experience base are exceptional. I especially enjoyed learning how to read a map. Keep up the good work!

Very helpful if you ask. His tests are very hard,(short answer) he picks your answers apart, if they are missing one thing you loose a lot of points. You may do really good on Elmos test but will fail his, gotta study hard

Comment:

Mark is a nice guy, however he is more worried about making friends. He often wastes classtime telling about his personal life and adventures, I am there to learn about geography, not about his life. He will help if you ask for it, but often answers your ques. with "your thinking too hard."Annoying!

Friendly and helpful in class. A good guy, even though we didn't see much of him. Labs are simple and easy, you get out what you put in. Take him if you get a chacne.

Comment:

I too, saw right thorugh his facade. He is a fairly lazy teacher. Meaning that he just teaches as much as he thinks we need to know so he can take off and have fun hiking over the country. We deserve better.

Comment:

Didn't really impress me at all...it was easy to see thru him. He thinks that saying, "You're thinking too hard" will suddently give you the answer. He was always there to answer questions; but also had strong political views that he didn't mind sharing with the class...

Sometimes home projects are priority, but is always available and willing to help if needed. Makes lab interesting. It would be helpful if info was explained before labs.
