Reviews of professor Mark Prindle

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Fun new professor at SMC. Takes his work very seriously. I had a great time taking this class and I will never look at the planet Earth the same ever again. He opened my eyes to the interconnections between Earth systems and how they can break down in science. Also he takes roll every class and thinks attendance is important.

Make sure you are on time and ready to take notes. The professor, reviews previous content each day in class. Tests are multiple choice and the labs are sometimes very fun. This class is not easy, but I learned a lot and now Im ready to transfer. Thanks

Professor Prindle wants you to succeed, but will make you work for your success. This class is fun, very lecture heavy, the textbook is required- and although it is seldom used, you should (eh) still review it for a sneak question or two, on the exam. Other than that no surprises on the tests, what you learn in lecture is what you'll see.

Professor Prindle is an inspiring and excellent teacher. I came into this class expecting very boring subject material. I ended up loving the class, the material, and his teaching style. There will be a long lecture on one class and a lab on the next. It's up to you to find reliable classmates and work together. Study for tests and you'll do great.

Online due to COVID he releases class early. Great Professor. No essays or research papers. Most labs are done during lectures. Be ready to take notes, his exams are purely note based. He gives great lectures and attendance is a must. He takes roll everyday, participation counts. He hates dumb questions so read your syllabus and pay attention.
