Reviews of professor Mark Scheinbaum

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
By far the worst professors Iv'e ever taken at FIU!! This class was an absolute nightmare, essays and discussion boards make up your grade. We had a due date for the DB, BUT gave you a 0 if you replied 48 hours or later in the DB which makes absolutely no sense. He is quite insulting with his "feedback". Essay instructions were very contradicting

He is a tough grader. He provides a clear rubric, so grades are entirely up to the effort of the student. He provides very good feedback on papers to ensure student's next assignment is clear and thoughtful. Very heavy lectures but he is very informative and clear. He is strict with deadlines for assignments. Time management is the key to passing.

DO NOT TAKE HIM! He leaves class half way through and has a careless attitude towards the actual structure of the class. He lacks proper training and talks more about his background than international subjects. I am surprised he is a Professor. Anybody could put youtube videos or ted talks.

Willing to put in a small amount of work in order to get a good grade? Yes? This class is great. Coursework took about 1.25-1.5 hours a week and was engaging. No tests. There are a lot of bad reviews here, but in my class, only 3/42 people even attended the short bi-weekly zoom calls. Put in a little effort and you will get a good grade.

He is a very tough professor. He is a harsh grader and will expect a lot from you. There was a report due every week and he was very strict with proofreading and deadlines. He will push your abilities throughout the whole semester so expect to work hard and put in a lot of effort. However, he is a great professor and you will learn a lot!
