Reviews of professor Mark Salvatore

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Mark is a fun guy that really likes what he teaches. The class however is one of the most boring classes that I have taken. There are iclicker quizes every day so it is important to pay attention to the lecture. The lectures are so boring and all of the material is about the geology or chemistry of planets. He grades hard and having the book helps.

One of the few Professors I have met through my many transfers of colleges that genuinely care for the student's success. Super easy to talk to and communicate with. Was great during Covid having an understanding of major issues and mental health. Fun professor and Fun topics to explore and discuss!

Dr. S treats his students like actual human beings and it is so refreshing. He never talked down to us and was willing to get to know everyone. He genuinely cares about being a good teacher. His class was interesting and he managed to make it easy and stress free but I still learned so much. I would 100% recommend taking him!

LOVED Mark, what a genuine hilarious guy. Class itself was hard if you don't grasp basic chemistry and geology well, but it's obvious Mark really cares about his students. Quiz answers are on quizlet - iClicker questions for attendance. Dry lectures sometimes but try and pay attention because the tests are hard. Great person, would take him again!

Dr. Salvatore is such a caring and cool professor. It was the first semester this class was offered but he did an amazing job, it felt like hed been teaching it for years. The guest speakers were so interesting and he introduced the Astronomy program well. Definitely a great professor to take if you want to make connections in the program!!

Horrible class, do not take online, not easy tests, lecture videos are long. Overall do not take this class for an easy grade because you won't get the grade you want.
