Reviews of professor John Markiewicz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Markiewicz class is the hardest class I have taken at Marshall, the average grade was almost always failing. While the class was tough, he provided a lot of material to do well. He answered emails quickly, held multiple evening review sessions and was available almost every single day for extra help if you asked. He's a true gem of a professor!

Dr. Markiewics is the best professor I have had in college so far.  Yes his tests are difficult but they are straightforward. Study every day and ask questions because he is able to explain any concept in a way that you will understand. He is always smiling and wants his class to succeed. TAKE HIM!

Good professor, but made our exams harder than previous semesters after our class performed well on exam 1. Exams should have similar difficulties throughout different semesters because we are all competing for the same spots in graduate schools. Very nice man though.

I was thoroughly disappointed at first when the class I signed up for got changed to his section. However, I have learned tremendously. The class is not easy, and his tests ARE difficult; but he gives you several chances to prepare and sincerely tries to help you learn. It's organic, and it is hard, but he always makes himself available to help you

Dr. Markiewicz was awesome. His lab reports were hard, but he was always glad to provide assistance if you were stuck. He had a very particular method for keeping lab notebooks, but it was easy once you got the hang of it. Even when you made a mistake in lab, he was always encouraging and uplifting. I would recommend him to anyone for organic lab!

Organic is a difficult subject, but utilizing his office hours and the LA sessions helps tremendously. He provides lots of practice material and wants to see his students succeed.

Lectures are very detailed with many examples. You go through a lot in one class, so it may be overwhelming for some. His tests are fair, just always work through any extra material he may give you. I would definitely recommend the book to work through practice problems!
