Reviews of professor Mark Osterheld

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I learned more from reading the textbook and doing the LearnSmarts than I did in class. Professor Osterheld explains the material but sometimes the explanation gets lost if he spends too much time on it. I found it very difficult to participate online and it counts for 10% of the total grade. Exams and projects make up most of the course grade.

very nice guy but GB112 is already a really hard class. I do not recommend taking him. lectures are boring and if you do not read the textbook you will not pass the class. i do not recommend taking him.

the class is a required class and most of the material is standard for all professors, so there isn't much leeway. He is a nice guy that teaches at the right pace, but is kind of boring. a lot of students don't pay attention in the class. the class isn't graded by a lot of things, and the exams are tough. ask questions. would take prof. again

Mark is a great choice for GB112. He explains the lectures very clearly and makes sure everyone keeps up. He sometimes cold calls if it looks like you aren't paying attention, but not very often. Graded the course project pretty easily, my group got a 94. Participate a lot and he will love you. And mention Ohio State, he loves college football.

Professor Osterheld is a really nice guy and sometimes funny, but his teaching skills are subpar. His lectures are very long and usually boring. He also cold calls on people, and participation matters a lot. It's very homework and reading heavy so be prepared for that. The exams aren't too bad.

212 is a hard class to begin with. Osterheld does try to do his best and get the students involved. Exams are okay, same with quizzes. Graded several students properly on the group project and provided no comments or explanation of why. You can definitely have a worse professor, he falls in the middle of the pack. Lectures are heavy and boring.

GB 112 is a standard class and is very cookie cutter here (pun intended). He makes an example of a cookie bakery as a business that he always uses for analogies. He goes beyond the basics by making mini quizzes (not graded) to engage the class. Overall he is slightly better than average. Don't think anyone got an A this semester though, but he good

READ THIS! Mark is an average professor. GB112 is a hard class regardless of the Professor. This professor is good at examples and wants his students to understand the material. Lectures are a bit bland but the course is boring. All teachers grade the project toughly. Mark does cover everything on the exams. HES BETTER THAN MOST KNOW THAT,GOODLUCK
