Reviews of professor Thomas Marino

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This professor is one of the best I've taken for an engineering class. He cares about his students, is a knowledgeable engineer, and has personality! The homework gets hard, but he is always there for help. If you're willing to learn and put in effort, this is the class for you!

Other comments say you don't learn much, but that's not really true. He teaches introductory engineering classes where there isn't that much technical stuff to learn. If anything, his lecture style teaches things you need to know beyond the required material. You can he's a great engineer and you can also tell he really cares about his students.

Professor Marino is a well knowledgable person. He will share with you such amazing stories of his experience as an engineer. He is really caring and easy-going. The first lectures are boring because of the curriculum (which is something he dislikes). Despite that, assignments are easy and group project as long as you don't procrastinate you fine.

Good professor although he might not be teaching this course again due to the school refusing to update the curriculum being out of date. He gave students extensions and is lenient with late work. Taught us the best he could with the resources he had and it was a pleasure to have him as my professor

Adjunct professor. Lots of textbook reading. Not a difficult grader. Wants students to succeed and is willing to grant extensions. However, it seemed like it was his first time teaching Statics. It was clear Professor Marino was seeing some of the class problems for the first time during lecture. Class was rarely the full 3 hours which was nice.

He is an OUTSTANDING professor. He wants his students to know that he cares and goes above and beyond to help his students to make sure everyone knows what to do. He cares about his students grades and wants his students to pass. He is always willing to help out his students during and out of class. He is honestly one of the best professors at NOVA

He really cares for his students. I took his course online and his quizzes have multiple attempts, except for the midterm & final of course. But everything in the tests are from his powerpoints! There were worksheets too but he isnt a tough grader and is very considerate. Hes amazing, please take him!

Professor Marino is one of the best teachers at NOVA. He cares about his students and tries his best to help every student succeed. The assignments aren't too difficult and he lectures on how exactly to complete them every week.
