Reviews of professor Mark Genovese

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Only communicated via Microsoft Teams, and would take days to reply. 4 exams all 75 questions w/ lockdown browser and worth half of overall grade. Quizzes were easy without the lockdown browser 15-20 questions. You have to READ the textbook and STUDY lots to pass the exams. He randomly curved some grades the last day, giving me an A.

Currently taking the online class, it doesn't seem super difficult. PROCRASTINATORS BEWARE!!!! If you wait until the very last minute to turn in papers and quizzes, this class can turn incredibly difficult very quickly. ALL assignments are due the last day of class. Without any written assignments turned in you can only make a 55% max.

Mr.Genovese is a great person, I had him in the summer. The class was long but the time went by fast, he made federal government exciting. He wasn't always able to come to class because of external reasons but he still tried his best to do zoom meetings. Communicate with him, he's a very understanding person and answers quickly usually.

Professor takes FOREVER to respond. Late work is NOT tolerated. NO extensions he says you have to "manage your time wisely" If you have kids and a full time job DON'T take this a class with this Professor. TOO MUCH WORK NOT ENOUGH TIME Exams are not like reviews. His assignments are nothing like the assigned chapters. DO NOT TAKE!

The professor is hardly present in class making it difficult to comprehend the material. He shows no sense of leniency even if you are having technical issues with the lockdown browser. He is passive-aggressive and very serious. Beware as he assigns a two-page essay every week as well as class assignments every time he is actually present.

Awful professor! Takes forever to reply. Does not give enough time for the amount of work he assigns. He will not extend assignments. He will not give extra time for anything.

If you are interested in taking a a federal government course DO NOT take him. I repeat DO NOT, UNLESS you are someone who knows a lot about government. During his lectures he goes off topic onto things that will be taught in the later units. His quizzes and exams are nothing on what he provides on his powerpoints and his provided book.

If you want to learn, you need to do your part. Read! The class is boring if you are not interested. If you are, you'll like it. He is knowledgeable, If you ask questions, he will answer. He is very respectful and always willing to help. You just need to ask or look for him.
