Marco is awesome and the goatCALC1342 2026-02-25 03:52:56 +0000 UTC
He's so great! Detailed lectures with lots of good examples, and posts practice tests that are very similar to the actual exams. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher for Calc II.MATH1342 2026-01-07 16:45:49 +0000 UTC
Literally the best. He is so sweet and is so good at teaching. Very passionate about math and wants all of his students to do well. Weekly quizzes that are so easy you can study the night before for. Drops 2 lowest quizzes. Tells you exactly what is on the quizzes. He is so straightforward. As long as you pay attention in class you will have an A.MATH1215 2025-12-11 19:17:33 +0000 UTC
He is hot.MATH1341 2025-12-09 06:10:27 +0000 UTC
Grading can sometimes be harsh, but one of the better math professors!MATH3081 2025-07-03 00:07:19 +0000 UTC
Calc 2 is a hard class, and his lectures are not great if you are new to the topics. Try to come to class with the homework done even before he explains the topic. Use the class as a review. Also, he has a monotone voice with little excitement, so getting lost is easy.CAL2 2025-04-09 12:23:28 +0000 UTC
Clear consice and organized. He makes a study guide before every quiz and really sets up his students for success. He is awesome and the best professor I've ever had.MATH2321 2025-01-16 19:02:34 +0000 UTC
Marco is literally the best professor. He is very knowledgeable and makes the course easy to understand. If you have questions during his lectures he will stop and further elaborate without belittling you. He responds to emails and accommodates helping students outside his normal office hours. Marco makes learning math fun and enjoyable.MATH1231 2022-11-30 18:05:52 +0000 UTC
This professor is amazing! I was hard for me to sometimes follow him in class because he has a tendency to go through his lectures fast (usually finishing class before the class time is over yet still covering everything we need to know) but the notes he writes on the board make up for it 100% I even had friends from other classes borrow my notes!MATH2331 2016-04-19 15:45:54 +0000 UTC
Great math teacher overall! Funny, approachable, intelligent, and clear.MATH2341 2013-11-22 13:43:55 +0000 UTC
One of my favorites, even though he's new. Has a sense of humor and always willing to explain something again if you ask. He tries to get to known his students, he actually bothers to learn names which is appreciated.MATH2201 2012-02-23 11:06:54 +0000 UTC
This is his first year, he's cool. Calc 3 is hard though :(CALCT01 2011-12-03 12:51:44 +0000 UTC
Super straightforward professor that gives out quizzes and exams similar to his example problems. Lenient grader overall and often likes to exclude some topics to make quizzes/exams easier (thank you prof). Lectures are actually useful for practice, and he always answers every question. He may be a little blunt, but he's overall super chill.CALC1342 2026-01-11 21:58:06 +0000 UTC
GOATTed he has such a blunt attitude towards math, but if you get passed him laughing after you ask a question and acting like it is common sense, he is truly such a good prof. clear concise great lectures, but do not miss class, or you WILL fall behind. he also only gives one practice test for the midterm and one for the final which is hard.MATH1342 2025-05-09 03:00:36 +0000 UTC
He is a great professor, very clearly explains things and answers questions whenever people have them. Weekly quizzes but the two lowest scores are dropped and he genuinely wants his students to succeed.MATH1215 2025-12-05 01:40:09 +0000 UTC
