Dr. Marcellin is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He really cares about his students' success and this is clearly shown in his classes. He holds a lot of review sessions before exams and quizzes, and is also very accessible in office hours. If you take ECE 220, be sure to participate and pay attention in lecture.

Very fun professor who wants students to succeed. Honestly ECE goes way over my head as it isn't my major or minor, but he made it enjoyable and gave students every opportunity to succeed. The online labs were a very negative experience, although this is not Dr. Marcellin's fault.

Prof M is very nice, but I struggled in his class. He stays about 2 weeks ahead in lecture (so when you're working on Ch. 5, he'll be finishing Ch. 6). Aren't lectures meant to help cement the stuff you're currently learning? Vids in D2L aren't labeled (aside from "Ch. 4"). Exams are timed, which is a killer when the material starts to get tough.

Fantastic lecturer! He makes the subject matter very clear. The homework builds directly on the in-class material and the tests are all very reasonable. Class averages for my section were 80s on each test. I will take classes from him again if possible.

By far the best professor I've had. There is a lot of work on your end but really can't complain with the amount of teaching Marcellin provides. Gives tons of examples and the best part was the study sessions before a test. Those are optional but highly recommended!

This class has a ton of material and a LOT of work, but Marcellin is an amazing professor. Lectures are very clear and broken up into short videos to make it more manageable. It's easy to fall behind due to the amount of material and homework. Exams are straightforward and previous exams are provided for practice.

Professor Marcellin is one of the best professors I have ever had! He takes the time to go over the material and make sure you understand what is going on in the class. If you take notes, do all the homework, and ask questions it will be an easy A.

Dr. Marcellin went out of his way to help us. Questions on the message board were answered quickly and in some cases he made PDFs or even videos to answer the questions. The course has A LOT of material but if you stay on top of the lectures and do the homework assignments you will be fine. Grades were scaled and test were reasonable.

Dr. Marcellin is amazing! He demonstrates clear mastery of the material and explains it exceptionally well. He even offers additionally study sessions before tests! 220 is understandably a lot of work, because the material is tough. Don't miss class and don't miss out on his study sessions! An A requires hard work, but he wants you to get it.

One of the best professors I have had. His lectures are great, He is willing to help you if you don't understand, he enjoys teaching and doesn't give excessive online homework. He makes the class easy and gives lots of chances by curving the class dropping a test and giving extra credit. Even though he makes the class easy you will learn a lot.

Dr. Marcellin is one of the best professors I've ever had at the University of Arizona. I highly encourage anyone who is in SIE or outside of ECE to take him because ECE 220 can be taken instead of some other courses that might not have as great of a professor. It may be 5 credit course but it is 100% worth it as long as you're committed to learning

ECE503. There was a lot of material and topics to cover for just one semester. It seemed a little rushed. The class is pure mathematics with very little context for engineering applications. You will probably spend more time on this class than any other upper level course. Homework was long/tedious. Tests were not bad. Grading was generous.

Easily the best professor I've had here. He legitimately wants all his students to get As and gives ample resources to help them get there. His lectures are engaging, he has great humorous stories, and he holds extra optional lectures to help students review for his exams. A+

He is the best professor I've ever had. He cares very much about the success of his students. His lectures are fantastic, and every one was worth it. ECE 220 is a lot of work, but Professor Marcellin made a subject that I previously found difficult into something very manageable.

Dr. Marcellin's ECE220 is easily the best ECE class I've taken. The guy cares about his students' success, and genuinely wants everyone to do well. The midterm exams are tricky but fair. The final exam is excruciating, but you can expect a class-wide grade boost afterwards. Quizzes are given at random, so go to class! 85% gets you an A.
