Reviews of professor Thomas Marino

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Lectures were unorganized and omitted large portions of relevant material. Exams are easy but you will be unprepared for future courses.

Took Heat Transfer over the summer during a 6-week period and I couldn't have asked for a better professor. He explains what you need to know and allows ample amount of time to make sure you get it. The work he gives directly corresponds to what you talked about in class and he is lenient with deadlines. I could do school and work comfortably.

Knowledgeable and understanding. Rewards hard work.

Professor Marino is by far the best professor I've ever had, and one of the greatest teachers I've ever had in general. He is a brilliant person who is able to intuitively and patiently explain complex topics, and he is one of the kindest, most empathetic, and most humble people I have ever met. Please take a class with him if you're able to!

Professor Marino is a good professor; he is very laid back and will help you if you have any questions with an assignment. The class is a little disorganized, but it's nothing too bad. You have homework every week, a midterm, a final, and one project. I suggest downloading the lectures on canvas, and skim them before class so that you aren't lost.

He is hands down the BEST professor at NOVA. He really cares about his students and there grades. If you ever need his help, he is willing to help you. All his quiz are simple and exams arent hard. He gives homework but its easy to understand. Take his class, its 100% worth it
