Reviews of professor Mark Scheinbaum

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Unfortunately all the bad reviews here are TRUE! Clearly professor Mark Scheinbaum has a lot of knowledge in the field of political science, but that is not enough to turn him into a good professor. He is sarcastic and often arrogant on his assignments reviews. Do yourself an favor and avoid his class, trust me.

papers and discussion boards are most of your grade and he grades extremely difficult: requirements for sources are ridiculous; I have never seen a professor be so strict on this no encyclopedias or definition what does this even mean received poor scores on all papers because of this when they were great papers (I have never > 80 on an essay)

STAY AWAY! im so serious trust this review it is not worth it. Extremely unclear instructions that he uses to then take your grade down almost 3 letter grades, completely disregards the content of your essays or discussions, too many technical issues and mistakes as well as when you do things right its simply not enough worst class ive taken yet.

Reviews are true, unfortunate to have a professor like him teaching at a university level. He should be teaching a middle-school computer class. Lacks knowledge and all he does is make us watch youtube videos and ted-talks.

HE is a great prof but gives out lots of assignments so if you want an easy A no chance here. He teaches so much useful stuff if you're a poli international relations major and really inspires you. Def take him again.

Do not take a class with this professor. He is by far the worst professor I have had in my college career. I am frankly amazed he is a professor at all, given his unprofessional attitude throughout the course. Grades capriciously and unfairly, gives rude and unprofessional feedback (if any at all). Did not respond to any emails I sent in the class.

"If you're not a Poli-Sci on INR major avoid this class." Attendance is "not mandatory" but you won't perform well on tests and quizzes if you don't attend or watch movies. Prof. MS does a phenomenal job of using current events and relating them to the class. If better structured, it would have been a perfect fit for me.

I actually took POS2041 with Prof. Scheinbaum online and I fully regret it. He is definitely a wise man who knows what he is talking about, however he is rude with feedback extremely hard to please. Be ready to teach the constitution to yourself, get backhanded comments on your papers, and submit posts on the DB on time and still get a zero.
