Reviews of professor Mark Patterson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Great professor. He gives clear feedback and is willing to help if you need it. He isn't afraid of classroom silence, so just speak during class discussions, it will really help you and your classmates understand the material. If you have questions, don't be afraid to ask them, he wants you to know the material! Also, go to your conferences!!

Mr. Patterson is serious but super cool. He takes the time to make sure students understand what you should be writing about and clarifies any questions you might have. He also understands that college kids have social lives too, so he never gives too much to do. An overall great guy who cares about what he is teaching.

Mark is a great professor, he is focused on making sure everyone knows what is going on and understanding the material. Class is mostly mandatory but you really don't need to worry if you miss a few classes.

Expect to read a lot in this class. Daily classes consist mostly of discussing either books you read before class or other documents. 
Pros: Engaging topics and very interesting books to read. Course and professor are well prepared. 
Cons: Lots of reading and writing assignments. Takes a long time to grade some papers. Participation not rewarded.
