Comment:

I took his class in 2012 Business Law there is a lot to learn but if you take notes on his lectures most of it is on the test. He is a very nice professor he even let me borrow an extra book he had because I was in a bad financial hardship. Business Law is Law so it is not going to be easy. Study hard, take notes, pay attention and you will pass.

I was registered for this class a either the day the class started of a few days after and I ordered my books with one day shipping and did not receive the books until 5 days later. I emailed him and asked what I should do and he told me to just email him my assignments. I did the 1st assignments and he never posted my grades. Assignments too hard.

Comment:

Marino is HORRIBLE! His tests are extremely hard! They are all multiple choice, but he makes the answers so similar it's difficult to choose the right answer. He also gives two projects which are the only reason why I passed the class. He offers a additional grade that is counted as extra credit, but you have to write a report and volunteer.

Mr. Marino is a great teacher. This online class was very easy as long as you took your time and put the correct amount of effort. He quickly responded to any question I had via email. Didn't need the access code for the online program though, that was just a resource. Only need the book.

Mr.Marino's tests will fool you! As long as you do your paper that you have to write and you get a good grade on the paper, you'll get a good grade in his class. I got B's and C's on the tests, got an A on my paper, and ended up with an A for the semester.

His test are tough but he's really nice, you just have to get his sense of humor.. I think he's hilarious.. He is challenging but he cares about his students. And will help you get jobs if you need help.

Great guy! His exams are a little tough but if you show up for class and participate, you'll get an A. He grades on a curve at the end if the semester. I had him for a couple of other classes and never got higher than an 89 on a test and he still gave me an A for the semester.

Comment:

All those that complained that they were doing poorly in his class were the individuals who were rarely there or busy texting, etc., during class. Allows assignments to be turned in late & tests to be made up without asking for excuse. Only issue is that once in awhile on prof. & student part the lecture strays & syllabus pretty obsolete. Best!

Moving along Briskly! Great professor, you just have to show an interest and participate in class and you recieve an A. If you disagree with me, then you are ****ing where your supposed to be learning. Do the work, talk to him you will recieve an A.

Comment:

If you want to know how well everybody does on his tests..just walk by his classroom the day after one of his tests and look at the piece of paper with all of the test grades...this alone will encourage you to not ever take his class! He's extremely bias, tests are hard..because he just reads straight from the book..stay away from this teacher!

Comment:

A nice guy, likes to clear his voice a lot. Exams are hard. Probably because he just reads from the textbook the entire class. He NEVER gives you any notes to study from. So if you take the class, be sure to circle everything in book he talks about because thats all you got-but he does give you what to know for exam the day before the exam.

Good businessman but not a good professor. A nice guy though. however you would be better off taking somebody else at another campus for his classes. obviously since you people are on this website theres ways to find out which business prof. are better than Marino. his exams are as hard as hell. i wish he wrote notes on the board. not a good prof.

Comment:

I've had him so much it isn't funny... Can't ecape the twight zone. I know he's knows everything about business but relaying it to us can be hard to do. He has his style and that's that, once you figure it out it's so there... everyone else already stated his pros and cons. very accomidating though...

Comment:

Professor Marino is a bright man - I'll give him that - however he is not suited to teach. He babbles on about useless stuff and he shows favoritism towards certain students. Not professional at all. And yes - he clears his throat way too many times.
