Reviews of professor Marcus dumas

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Easiest class I have taken. Dumas does an awesome job explaining everything. There are online modules some days so you don't have to go to class. Random attendance checks.

Such a great prof!! Gives extra credit on every test and explains all testable material really well in class beforehand. Lecture day dedicated to exam review before the exam, and some lectures are online in the form of modules so you don't have class that day. No homework besides the modules, some projects, but overall easy A

took this one month course in summer & I recommend! 4 discussion posts, 2 exams, & a few group projects. class is v manageable! exams r pretty easy & I recommend watching the lecture videos & taking notes from the ppt. Group projects were fine. easy class if u put effort into the work & Prof is v helpful in answering questions if u need any help!

Literally one of the worst professors I have ever had and I have taken ochem so that's saying something. doesn't respond to emails, doesn't post assignments, cancels class last minute ALL THE TIME, is not helpful on assignment and doesn't try to see your perspective/point-of-view ever. simply only talks about his work and how it applies

Dr. Dumas is awesome! He's understanding and responds in a timely manner. He explains criteria of grading well and lets you know clearly what he expects. If you have questions regarding your work, ask him AHEAD of time. Lots of deadlines and project work outside of class, not bad. Ensure you have a good relationship and he will want you to succeed!

Dumas is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is so professional (shows up to class every day in a bowtie) and is genuinely excited about the information. Not a ton of grading criteria, but lots of EC. We had class about 1/2 of the semester and the other 1/2 we would have online modules. Super easy with great lectures!

He makes sure everyone gets the best grade they can by giving tons of extra credit. However, you still learn tons of important information, even if it is an easy A.

Professor Dumas was an okay teacher. I took his class during covid and the content was easy but he didnt do too well teaching. The quizzes we had every week usually had 5 questions and they had trick questions so it was too easy to get 40s and 60s which brought down my grade, if he taught better I probably wouldve had an A+. Otherwise very easy

I ended up getting a 98 in this class and did not learn an ounce of material. Dumas did not lecture at all--he would just ask the students questions and wait until it was answered. There were three written assignments and one group project. He wants everyone to get an A. If you are looking for an easy, mindless class, this is it.
