Reviews of professor Mark Graham

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Graham is by far one of the nicest professors that I've had the opportunity to learn from. I frequently visited his office hours just to chat or catch up. He is extremely personable and passionate about what he teaches, and he cares about the students and ensures that they succeed.

Participation plays a large role in this course. He makes it difficult to participate, through his heavy reliance on cold-calling students with loaded questions. Expect to keep up with a large number of assigned readings to maintain a solid grade. Other than that, He grades fairly and is very approachable

Had him for THL 1000 and may be my least favorite professor ever. Loved to single people out, and was extremely overcritical when it came to grading and picking apart people's thoughts and ideas. So much reading, and if you don't do the reading thoroughly you will do badly on the weekly "pop" quizzes and in the class in general. Not. A. Fan.

I overall liked Professor Graham, but I did not like his class. The topics were fairly boring and his class revolved solely around lectures, which didn't make it better. We only had one long paper/presentation, which he did grade pretty easy. However, we had specific pop quizzes on the readings that could either make or break your grade.

I am from Natick, Massachusetts and this class has been life changing. It was a tough transition from such a affluent community to Villanova's abysmal community. This man helped me personally. I don't know where I would be without him. I am so grateful for the opportunity to take his class and I hope to become fine companions in the future.

SO much reading. His grading was also weird. Didnt make any sense to me but other than that he was a nice guy. Make sure you do the readings and youll be fine.

Couldn't speak more highly of Dr. Graham. He clearly knows what he's talking about and he gives us so much space to form our own understanding of the material. The texts we read are very interesting, deep, and they require a lot of focus, but he explains them well. Pop quizzes typically once a week on the material. Overall good guy, good teacher.

Graham is an interesting guy but the topics he teaches are not. He makes the class bearable but gives pop quizzes. One research paper for the semester. Easy enough.
