Reviews of professor Marcel Jar

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Marcel is one of my favorite profs at Seneca. I had him for several courses, and unlike many profs in that school, he knows what he's teaching. He wants the students to understand the material which is why the assignments and tests may be a bit harder than usual, but if you put in the effort it won't go unrecognized.

Marcel is a pretty good professor when it comes to lab work as he is very helpful at explaining what is wrong with your code. His lectures are ok, when supplemented with other readings online. He also has quizzes due before class in which he has you read slides on his website.

I kinda wished he would give us test and exam reviews. He is a nice guy however, his tests are hard to prepare for.

Explains the concept well, although it can be explained a bit more thoroughly. A caring and reasonable prof when it comes to his marking. Overall, he makes Data Communication pretty understandable and interesting.

My experience in Marcels class was probably the worst Ive experienced. Marcel does not care about his students. He only comes to class to receive his pay check and when he shows up, hes often late. Do yourself a favour, dont enroll in his class

Hes a very helpful professor when you reach out. Don't expect professors to come put the information in your brain. However he is very understanding and his lectures are very informative and organized. He doesn't tolerate cheating. His tests aren't easy if you didn't practice enough. But it is very easy if you practiced.

Horrible Professor. Mid terms are too hard, he doesnt care about the students and Comes late every week. Its a pain when the class is mandatory and you are still satanding in the hall for over 45 mins since he is late.

If i was rating him for being a good guy, he would be a 5/5, but im not, as a prof, he marks easy and for that one course u will love him, but he doesn't actually teach u anything, this was a first year course, and because he doesnt teach the basics, u r essentially screwed for all the harder courses. Trust me choose a different prof if u can.

He is a nice guy, but his lectures/slides are self-made and absolutely terrible. Doesn't go through examples, terrible explainer, doesn't explain steps, never gives part marks, strict marker. Don't attend his lectures, you'll fail. But, the lectures don't prepare you for the quizzes and exams. Terrible professor, would never take him again

Weekly labs are easy, 80-90% of the code is provided to you in his lecture slides. Projects and tests are difficult if you copied his code and don't understand what you're doing. If you have the general logic of the program he will give part/full marks. Answered all emails, really cool dude
