Reviews of professor William Marek

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
It's past time for this guy to retire. He held weekly webchats at 10AM on Tuesdays then complained that people weren't attending, feedback on assignments was vague and unhelpful, no consistency between BlackBoard, the syllabus, and what he told us, and his confrontational and dismissive tone in emails/board threads was unprofessional.

Dr. Marek was a good professor. He didn't feel the need to waste time on the webchats if we did not have much to talk about. He also graded well, and gave good feedback regarding the MANY papers required for this course. Do the work and you will do fine. Dr. Marek was a nice guy, easy to communicate with.

This class was super easy. Show up, write the papers and you'll pass. Tests require little studying to ace. Looking back on it, I wish I would've taken a more difficult Psych Prof. since Psych is my major and this guy wasn't very serious. Although I did learn some stuff, Marek didn't actually "teach" hardly at all--just read slides. Like no HW

Disorganized; communication poor; Blackboard content out of date with contradictory instructions between syllabus and course materials; confusing instructions or lack thereof

Overall you'll pass if you show up. Grading is pretty easy. If you need this class just to pass you'll be fine, but if this is your major I'll pick another professor. Easy paper to write. You won't be challenged as a scholar. His lectures are all from the book doesn't really teach. I felt that I didn't get what I pay for.
