Amazing Prof. He is passionate about the material and keeps you sitting at the edge of your seat with anticipation. Contemporary Aboriginal Canada was probably one of the best ANTH courses I've taken at UVic so far. Definitely encouraged me to think outside of the box and to see Canadian history and politics in a new light.

An interesting prof. Obviously passionate about his work but teaches the course from an unusual angle (doesnt actually teach about Aboriginal people in a "Contemporary Canadian Aboriginal" Class very nice guy very approachable however he reads his notes verbatum no provided notes and tends lose his train of thought.

Marc has great care for the subjects he's studying and as well for others who display care in the same topics. He's super-relatable and just wants to have fun. Just be prepared to change your anthropology major after this class.

I really enjoyed Marc's class. He is a bit confusing at times, but his lectures are always interesting. He really cares about what he talks about and is prepared to go to great lengths to help students if they want it. He is a fair marker with papers, but tests arent always an accurate reflection of materials discussed.

Strong attitude on the subject because he deeply cares about it. He listens to what people have to say, and makes material relevant. Understands how busy students are at times, and will help the class in those times. I definitely suggest taking him if you get the chance.

One of the few profs that relates the material to current issues and debate that is happening right now which makes it very interesting. I highly recommend.

He is very opinionated, but that is so refreshing, because he doesn't just repeat the same old ideas. And what he says makes sense.

Liked his relaxed attitude and positive, easy-going nature. He has a way of relating students on our level but still providing challenges. Even if there were negative reactions, it is far better than apathy!
