I've had Mark for a handful of classes and at first, he is very intimidating and will grill you on tiny mistakes but once you realize why he's doing it, you start to preform better. Make sure you know how to back up everything you put in your reports and also how to describe them. He's always available via email and helps alot.

A nice man, however, likes to play favorites. Better be in class every single day or you will miss out on critical information for the class. Very tough grader on the students who aren't on his favorites list. Unfortunate.

At first, he is a lot, if you are not used to him. He says, " Put (or do ) this on your paper/homework/test and see how much I will mark you down" and "You will remember this when you take this class again". But, he is a good teacher who does care about his students, he will review ANYTHING again, in detail.

Mark is easily the best professor that I have ever had. He really cares about all the students and will work with you to make sure you are successful in his classes. That being said, his classes are also quite challenging, and you will work for good grades. Pay attention, be respectful, and definitely write everything down!!!

Mark is an excellent instructor. He truly cares about the students learning the material and will go back in detail if there are any questions. The homework assigned is practical and relevant to the topic at hand.

Mark is a wonderful teacher. I don't think he goes too fast, but maybe that's because I actually pay attention in class. His board writing is crystal clear, and very organized. I barely had to read the book because the notes were just as helpful. Pro-tip for this class: write down EVERYTHING he puts on the board, pictures and all.

He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He honestly wants to be sure that everyone knows what is being taught and will review anything in detail if you have questions. I am an automotive major, but because of him got a job in manufacturing. Truly an excellent guy and really knows his stuff, one of the very few I have met.

Comment:
Mark has excellent knowledge of the engineering/manufacturing industry, the only thing he lacks is his teaching ability. He knows his stuff, don?t get me wrong however, he explains things so fast that if you don?t catch on right away or do the homework right away, you can become very lost in this class. His writing on the board is not the clearest

Excellent professor, makes a dull subject enjoyable. He has a great grasp of the subject and is good at explaining it, if you don't get it, he will assist you until you do. Would take him again! Should seek help for his M&M, Oreo and Krispy Kreme additions :)

One of the best proff on the campus. He knows what is he talking about. If you want to learn something out of this class, go for rusco. Great sense of humour, has a great ability to connect the in class studies to real world sitauations. He'll make up the examples in the class, like 3 mins before we start solving. I would say if you guys are going

He may seem a bit overweling at first, but he is by far one of teh best profs you will hver have at Ferris or anywhere. He actually cares to tech you the material and will go out of his way to be sure you understand it. He links the crazy world of MFGE with teh real world so it actually appears that you might use what you are learing. Take him when

Mark keeps class on topic with a bit of humor tossed in. Sometimes his assignment expectations are a bit unclear. He is certainly knowledgeable on the subjects he teaches and uses real world exaples to drive points home. If your having difficulty he understands and is helpfull. He recoginzes genuine effort. Be prepared for an agressive pace!
