Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Actually was able to learn from him but very strange style of teaching.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He takes time to connect with his students because he knows the importance. I appreciate that this class considers healing from a standpoint that recognizes the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of our patients. This program needs instructors like Mark to initiate change and challenge the status quo....plus he's good for a laugh.

AWFUL. He is a mental health instructor YET he does not care about the students wellbeing and comes off so rude. He wastes so much time at the beginning of class with checks ins that we have to work on team projects (that are meant to be completed in class time)outside of class. He has potential but lacks in so many departments.Wouldn't recommend.

I don't know if it was because of having to teach the course on zoom, but I literally feel like I learned nothing. I do not know if he should be teaching a theory course. There was no real teaching, was quite disorganized (ie. shoving us in breakout rooms with no instruction on the assignment and then marking v hard). All learning was self taught.

Very specific expectations for vague instructions. Does not always reply to emails. He cares, but not all students are treated equally. This course was heavy on readings. Mark is a decent prof and is willing to work on improving based on critique.

I personally liked the check-ins, it's nice to have an instructor who generally wants to hear from you. Mayeb an option to "pass" if we didn't want to share? Health and healing with an emphasis on mental health. Learned how to implement relational practice in tough situations that I can anticipate to have in the future. Learned a lot.
