Reviews of professor Mark Cioc-Ortega

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Learned a lot. Class was challenging in it required a lot of writing in response to a lot of reading. Once I understood what he was looking for in writings, my grades improved. One of the only courses from college I actually retained information in and cite facts I learned semesters later. Diverse text selection & learning material enhanced content

I didn't find the lectures helpful at all. There is a quiz every class meeting. There were three essay and term exams, each were 30% of your final grade and quizzes were 10%. The exams weren't that hard; he handed out a study guide and about half of that would be on the exams. Everything in this class is free writing, no multiple choice.

This class is very average. I show up to class every day and am ready to take notes, however, he goes very fast and does not repeat himself. He does post the notes online but they are very long. I had to turn to youtube videos to help me with my second exam. You will pass if you use his notes. The study guide is exactly what will be on the test.
