Reviews of professor Ken Marsilio

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The outline for the course is a lot of work in general but he makes sure everyone is on track and even cuts some of the required work out. Really nice guy that makes sure everyone is learning something. Attendance is mandatory and tries to get everyone involved.

It is clear that his passion for teaching just isn't there, and as a result, makes the class miserable for everyone. Probably one of the most difficult entry-level courses I have had to take and destroyed the thought of being an IT major.

He is not that accessible outside of class, but will do his best to help you with any questions you have. Almost all of his assignments are due on Sundays at midnight and he also has a few group assignments. He tries to make the class fun and easy. He also expects you to participate and does give points at the end of the semester for it.

I enjoy this class up until theres an exam. I dont think the lectures prepare us for the exams. I have absolutely no idea what to study because the information is all a blur when hes teaching. I do like his corny jokes though and he occasionally offers bonus points.

He is the worst professor at RMU. DO. NOT. TAKE.

Super nice guy with a good sense of humor. Assigns a lot of work outside of class but gives you lots of time to do it. Lots of group projects (including the final project). Lectures most days and gives work days the rest. Material is hard and he expects that you just memorize it. Class is challenging if you aren't a computer related major.

Good guy, bit tough on the rules and regulations but he does genuinely want to teach and keeps the class fair. Just be on time and do your work.

He is very unreachable when it comes to small projects and gives very little directions on assignments and does NOT remind his students about assignments that are due and doesn't reach out to a student.

This was the most exasperating class I have ever taken in my life and ruined CIS for me. He took over for our professor mid semester and claimed that it was going to be an easy transition. To my dismay, we had to make our own company, create a whole business plan with MULTIPLE mind maps, and then present it in under 6 weeks. DO NOT TAKE - horrible!
