Reviews of professor Mark Tiongson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Mark is a caring instructor who tries to make a connection with his students. He's easy to talk to & gives the students the opportunity to destress during his check-ins. Does assign work/expects a lot to get done during the 3 hours of class, but he is accommodating to extensions. The assignments are time-consuming but not hard to get a good grade

Mark is a really amazing professor and mental health nurse, you can tell how passionate he is about teaching and nursing. He is very understanding and caring. His class is full of learning

he barely taught us anything. spent over half the class each week doing check ins. had to learn everything myself which was not helpful. understanding mental health is important. so i am unhappy about not learning more, considering his experience. teaching theory is not his thing imo. may be better in clinical, as a lot of students liked him. sorry

Mark is hilarious, and hasn't forgotten how hard it is to be in nursing school. He's passionate about the effects of vicarious trauma and a strong advocate for patients while fighting stigma against people living with mental illness. He likes mind maps when it comes to care planning, and prefers verbal feedback rather than exchanging emails.

Mark is a great professor. You can tell he really cares about what he is teaching and is very understanding. I loved the content of his class, tests were a bit hard and requires quite a bit of studying.

Mark is my favourite instructor that I've had thus far in the BSN program at VIU. He is so knowledgeable and inspiring. His classes were engaging, despite being over Zoom. He is not afraid to admit his mistakes (let's face it, we're all human, profs included!). His class was challenging, but not unreasonably so. 10/10 would recommend!
