Comment:

Chemistry overall is a challenging course. However, Dr. Mar explains the material very well. You need to sit in front of the class to actually learn. He takes his time lecturing and will change his exam dates in order to cover everything.

He does not teach well. You have to learn how to do the math. PLTL will help better than the actual class. 4 exams(excluding the final) and drops 1.

Comment:

Dr. Mar is overall a good professor. His lectures maybe a bit confusing since he sometimes stops and talks about his life but he overall does a good job explaining the topic. Dr. Mar also gives you many opportunities for extra credit. He would let ua do test corrections for 10 extra points!

Comment:

Took him for Gen. Chem. 1 and absolutely tried my hardest to pass, but although he's a good professor in that he speaks about various personal stories, etc. he does not teach the mathematical parts of chemistry therefore you are left to learn basically the entirety of Chem 1. Would not recommend taking him...

Comment:

One of the best teachers that I've had. I took him for Chem 2 and although the class was difficult, you do learn IF YOU WANT TO. Most of the people commenting probably wanted an easy a and that is something that you will not find in this class, no matter who your professor is. Chemistry requires work and Dr. Mar will not baby you. Loved the class

Incompetent, lazy, difficult, unprofessional, etc. this class is a bust ! This professor has no level of teaching this course. Constantly made mistakes and confusion for the entire class. Would not let the class use periodic table on exams and gives no extra credit. Don't jeopardize your GPA with this old fart.

Comment:

I enjoyed the class and lab. Took them during and earned A's in both. For a level 1 course, it is a challenge, especially during summer. Powerpoint lectures are quick and basic, but plenty of time to ask questions. You do need to do your studying and have questions prepared. Dr. Mar is very helpful but you must consistently show desire to succeed.

I really like Mar. He is a nice person very approachable. But im not a student that learns just by listening to him speak. I had to read the book. But hey! that's college life. Read.

Comment:

It's really difficult to pay attention to him, as he doesn't really lecture to the class but rather read off the slides and work problems out to himself. He often makes mistakes on quizzes and tests so always check your assignments when you get them back. Would not recommend.

Comment:

I would not reccomend Dr. Mar if you want to actually learn. He reuses prior tests, makes them lengthy and does not give you time to complete them. On top of that all kinds of cheating occurs in his class. He lost my final exam at the end of the semester and I had to wait over a month before my test was found and graded.

Comment:

Terrible, terrible teacher. It is very difficult to learn anything in class. He does not care about the students at all. Everyone would cheat on his exams. You basically had to teach yourself from the book. I regret ever being in this class. If you want to learn a lot take Ms. Flores-Feist. She is an excellent. Just do not take Mar.

Comment:

His class is boring.His lectures are hard to understand because he ends up jumping from one thing to another,but the main problem are his test they are too long for the amount of time he gives you.This semester I have only been able to fully complete 2 of 3 test already taken I'll probably never again take him for any courses.My grade is B

Comment:

What are you all talking about? One of the berating comments on here is poorly written. And you're in college? I'm guess this person is in remedial writing, and could not even take a college course english class. Dr. Mar is the best. He knows his stuff. If you don't show interest in his class, he will show no interest in you.

Comment:

Horrible teacher. Does not care to help his students and does not care if they cheat. Provides no encouragement. Seems like teaching is a chore for him...he just mumbles to himself at the front of the class and all of his exams/quizzes have mistakes on them. Don't take him if you want to learn something.

Comment:

The WORST teacher I've ever had and I've had many bad teachers. He has no idea how to work out the problems he gives to his students, he has no idea how to teach, he's completely disorganized, and he's always making excuses for his own laziness. You may as well study on your own because you won't learn a single thing.
