Robert Markiewicz professor reviews and ratings: 2.9/5 from 126 student reviews at Northeastern. TRACE + RateMyProfessor + Reddit.
His tests is very difficult, but the lectures are quite thorough. If you do all the work and study, you'll do well. He is also very willing to work through problems with you if need be.PHYS2305 2014-04-25 00:12:33 +0000 UTC
Markiewicz was extremely helpful with understanding Jackson E&M. He always made time - both in and out of class - to assist with the material. His exams were both fair and well written. Would suggest to any other graduate student, though it's unlikely they will have a choice.PHYS7315 2012-12-19 15:33:49 +0000 UTC
I found Markiewicz to be a good, if not overly exciting professor. The class was an advanced physics class and he taught it as such. The problem sets were often fairly difficult, as were exams, but Markiewicz is ALWAYS around a willing to help you if you're stuck (And I mean always), and he was often pretty helpful.PHYS3602 2010-06-18 00:47:48 +0000 UTC
I had Marciewicz for Physics 141 for architecture / engineering.. without the help of a tutor (free in the library) I probably would have gotten a C, with a little extra help I got through with an A.. but this is definetely not a class to blow off.. if you do the hw and don't skip you should do alrightPHYSICS141 2006-06-05 10:32:23 +0000 UTC
Most boring class ever. Lectures are useless, he just paraphrases from the book. weekly quizzes that you have to do well on. Extremely difficult tests. teaches as if he expects that you already know the material. Find someone else if you can.PHYU151 2005-12-16 17:52:36 +0000 UTC
Seriously,...just dont do it to yourself.PHY143 2005-10-25 12:44:35 +0000 UTC
you'll only do well in this class if you've taken physics before, either in high school or at a previous college. do well on the quizzes, but he drops the two lowest grades.PHYU141 2005-10-11 16:42:03 +0000 UTC
He is a very bad Teacher. Just writes the whole jakson equations on the board again (in case some one losses the book...). He whispers with board. But gives very hard problem dreaming that every one understands his way of teaching. Dept has some(only) one to teach the whole Jackson in one semester.PHYG302 2004-11-18 17:15:45 +0000 UTC
The lectures are useless...he just paraphrases what is in the book. He does not do any examples. He is entirely unhelpful outside of class. When you ask him a question you are answered by, "Go look at my notes in the library." And the tests are absurd. Don't take this man's classes if you can.PHYG302 2004-11-01 14:54:34 +0000 UTC
