Reviews of professor Tucker Marks

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I liked Tucker, he taught the class decently. His lectures were dry, but if you take notes, you should be able to get the gist of things. Easy grader too.

Tucker really knew what he was lecturing on and was able to answer any questions proposed to him on the material. The class is pretty much all papers so be prepared to write and be aware that he covers dense topics really quick, but other than that he is a caring prof and is passionate about what he does.

Professor Marks is nice and helpful. Bad handwriting though so taking notes is annoying. There's mandatory discussion sections but lecture isn't. The essay grading criteria isn't the clearest, but ask Professor Marks and he'll clear it up. Class is pretty boring. Weekly response papers, 2 essays and one final exam. Not a difficult class.

Tucker is a great professor! He is clear and helps you to understand the material in discussion sections. He is very helpful when you go to office hours. He helped me with questions I had about my paper.

I was going to give Tucker a good review until the final exam was put in canvas. It is the day after the semester ended and the grades from the entire semester were just put into Canvas. My biggest pet peeve is the grading on the final exam though. A lib ed class should not have an average of 74% on the final exam.

I really hated the material of this class, but Tucker is a good professor. Be prepared to talk about Plato for your entire first half of the semester. This class does NOT cover modern politics so do not take if that's what you want.

Professor Marks is incredible! I'm an engineering major and yet I still enjoy his Philosophy class, because his lectures are always interesting and so well presented. If you're planning to take PHIL 1006W, definitely choose Tucker Marks as your professor, you will not regret it.

Tucker was a caring TA, the course grade was based on ONLY three papers given multiple topics for each to choose one. The lectures are not required but give A LOT of notes to help for papers. I'm not a social science student but this class is an easy A if you attend lectures, take lots of notes, and read the book. Great lib ed for Arts & Humanity.

Really easy if you read the material and listen in lectures. The workload was light and enjoyable. Knew nothing about philosophy coming in, but really liked it by the end of the semester. Tucker had a no questions are dumb questions mentality, which made it a good space to ask questions and explore ideas in class. Great for lib-ed requirements.
