Great lecturer, gives good review for exams and quizzes, exams are fair and graded fairly. Very approachable and nice, especially in office hours. Sometimes soft spoken and hard to hear.MATH3081 2026-08-14 12:54:37 +0000 UTC
Prof. Rainho was a fine teacher that did textbook examples during his lectures and not much more. He was always great with questions and made sure you understood the material. Very straightforward class, just make sure you prep a bit for the tests.MATH1342 2026-05-05 05:11:36 +0000 UTC
He is a good professor and explains concepts well. There is a quiz almost every week but he gives enough practice and examples so it is easy to prepare. Also uploads lecture videos and notes for every topic.MATH1215 2026-05-03 09:14:04 +0000 UTC
So good and so nice, actually wants his students to learn. He is really good at explaining the weird algebra rules that everyone forgets and also is funny. He is a really chill grader so if you have any idea of what you are doing its good.CAL2 2026-04-16 00:48:40 +0000 UTC
Marco is awesome and the goatCALC1342 2026-02-25 03:52:56 +0000 UTC
He is hot.MATH1341 2025-12-09 06:10:27 +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
Grading can sometimes be harsh, but one of the better math professors!MATH3081 2025-07-03 00:07:19 +0000 UTC
Marco is the best math professor I've had. Dry humor, no-nonsense approach. Quizzes closely mirror his practice worksheets, and he provides tons of practice tests for the midterm and final (which are the bulk of your grade). Office hours are great. Only con: he's soft-spoken and occasionally goes on long proof tangents that aren't tested.MATH1342 2026-05-01 15:32:37 +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
