Reviews of professor Mark Gambala

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Gambala is very inspirational and his lectures were so easy to listen to. We had to read a book and we would be quizzed after every chapter, but they were take home quizzes, very easy A. I never really read the book. He definitely makes you nervous by putting you on the spot, but he makes you feel confident, coming from a socially anxious person.

Prof Gambala is very unorganized; he does not use Blackborad (hard to keep track ofyour grade), leaves a lot of writing papers, does not really help you find your passion. He's often late but expects his students to be punctual. Made the class buy a book that we never read. Makes the students spend money on professional clothing for presentations.

Prof G was a great teacher. Very understanding and inspirational. Wasn't the best with the calendar, but it didn't have much of an effect. The few papers and quizzes were relatively easy, it was all based on the class book which wasn't expensive and was integral to the class. Easy to keep track of your grade if you check in with him regularly.

At first Gambala was very personable, I had alot of respect for him until my presentation. I was traumatized and since then I have been more then petrified to take a class where I think there will be a speech presentation. Presentations are hard enough and when it was my time, instead of being supportive, he scoffed, laughed & made a mockery of me.

Very inspirational. He will just talk most of the time, but no need to take notes. Take-home quizzes based off of a book. Just complete all the work and you will be fine. The only minor things are that he does not use blackboard and he strayed from the syllabus calendar.
