Reviews of professor Eric Mar

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Mar is very unorganized. He gives out a lot of assignments and expects you to get them all done when he cant even grade them on time. Weekly forum posts, with a given rubric. Offers some extra credit. Attendance matters, but half the time I dont understand what is going on in lecture.

You can see Professor Mar has a great passion for Asian American studies and he's very approachable; however, the class can get kinda quiet so make sure you participate. Also, his lectures were very unorganized, he would always arrive late to class, he made us buy two books that we rarely used:(

Took him for AAS-213 in the fall. Really nice/chill guy, but gives a lot of assignments and readings that are time consuming. Required to attend at least 2 community events and write a paper about them, meet with him once along with the ASPIRE group, weekly discussion forums, and research paper for the final. Guest speakers come often too.

Eric Mar is undoubtedly the worst teacher in AAS and probably top 3 worst of all time in all of SFSU. He's a cool guy but CAN'T TEACH TO SAVE HIS LIFE. Lectures are unorganized, and you'll literally learn nothing. His final paper has the most unclear directions and if you have any questions, man good look tryna get an email or text back.

he seems like a good person, her nice but a very bad teacher. you won't learn anything from this class. he makes you do a lot of readings that are unnecessary, he just wants you to buy his book tbh. bad at explaining things, super unorganized, you better figure out things for yourself cause he's not going to explain much.. good luck

Would not recommend. Way too many assignments that are out of the class meeting time. It's especially hard if you have to commute! He requires you to go to a study circle, 2 community events, meet up with him AND attend an ASPIRE linked event all before the semester ends. His ilearn is horrifically organized and what he wants for papers in unclear.

Hes horrifically unorganized. He shows up to class 20-30mins late and still expects you to stay way past the class time. His lectures are random and completely unnecessary, it felt like I had a sub for the whole semester. Hes a good guy just probably shouldnt be a professor.
