Doesn't know the subject

hes often corrected by students, he could speak a little clearer bad teacher!

da worst teacher ever why is this guys still working ?? can he speak eng

bad accent, not clear, boring and difficult subject matter. sleep time...

He might be good at teaching the lower semester courses, but he is not good a explaining MFC/windows programming. He is always going off topic, getting lost in what he is doing, and gets errors coding that is he can't fix before the end of class.

BUY TWO BOOKS AND ULL HAVE TWO FERNANDES.. hes not worth the time or bother... find another teacher or learn it on your won

He is a good example of worse then worst

The second worst teacher i have ever met. Read book but lots of accent. I think he don't understand himself. Hopely, I will pass this course, because many people drop this course.

Very very very bad teacher...very

He is a very, very bad teacher. He pretends to know lots of stuff, in fact he knows nothing. he answers your question very quick, but it doesn't work. He lacks of programming skills, and he is not nice either. He speaks the worst English I have ever heard. Just don't waste your money and time on him

what was that?

He really isn't a good prof. He's been teaching the same subjects for years and still come to class unprepared. His assignments don't feel to be part of the class, and his weekly labs feel like small assignments (making them not worth doing). Over all, I'd say he was one of the worse prof's I've had at Seneca.

sayeh.

strong accent. not very clear in his lectures.

he issues labs during class then he goes on the internet and surfs the web. so basically, "here's your lab. go work on it". he doesn't say anything else. going to class is a waste of time.

totally unapproachable for help. he tells you to ask classmates for answers.

He's so bad I would NEVER ask him for a reference.

He tells me to use bing instead of google. he keeps talking bad about google and how we should love microsoft. he is never available for office hours

his excuse for having bad assignment specifications is that when we work we have to deal with it. he is always cocky and thinks that he is smarter than other professors.

He has no idea what he's doing when it comes to ASP.NET/C#. He took on this course without being too familiar with it(which is fine), but he failed to use the allotted time given to actually pick up the subject. Anyway, if you decide to to take his INT422, get ready to use your Google skills to teach yourself this subject

Doesn't bother to learn his courses before entering the classroom. Goes off on tangents unrelated to the lecture. Leading cause of confused students coming to the Tutoring Centre. Shouldn't be employed.

So basically this is the most useless guy ever, had a problem with disk quota that needed admin assistance so i could do an assignment and he said to delete mozilla. CAUSE YOU KNOW DELETING A WEB BROWSER THAT TAKES NO SPACE MAKES ALL THE SENSE IN THE WORLD. He has completely taught me a total of nothing in an entire semester. He needs a new job.

Mark Fernandes is the worst prof. His lectures are confusing and he doesn't help at all. Also he tends to put things on tests and midterms which hasn't even been thought yet. I would go with another Linux prof.

Completely hands off professor. Made me hate going to his class, and I started very interested in Linux. Puts unfair questions on tests about things never spoken about.

If you had any interest in Linux prior you will lose all of that once you take his class. Puts thing's on tests that haven't been covered lacks empathy. Enjoys seeing people fail, smirks at ppl pain. Made jokes about failing ppl. I guess he doesn't understand that some ppl have to work hard to save money to go to school. He'd rather see you fail.

He uses Wikipedia to teach material. He needs students to teach concepts. He'll be teaching himself as he attempts to teach. Give me his pay, I can go in everyday and not teach. Ho ho ho hoh...

It was his first time teaching INT422. Lectures were slow and confusing. Course was scary because 4 weeks in he's taught me almost nothing. You have to self learn everything.

Quite possibly the worst prof at Seneca. Comes into class with little understanding of the material and spends the whole class stumbling through what little material he has brought. Often he'd just mumble to himself after his example crashes for the bulk of the class then change topics without covering anything. Has no interest in helping students.

WORST TEACHER!! worst teaching technique. Goes thru verrry fast specially for a course that is all about commands and understanding. Very confusing . Simply does not understand that for many of us it is our first time seeing these stuff and we do not have the same knowledge as him. EXTREMELY HARD GRADER

if you take his class, good luck

HARD GRADER

GPA killer

He's the worstttt professsorr everrr he does not know anything abt computers if u need help he will tell the lab instructor to help you because he knows he doesnt know anything and if he happens to come help you he will tell you to reinstall it because he wouldn't know the simple problem he's strict but more of a rather than a strict teacher

He sounds like he knows what he is talking about half the time but really he tries to seem relatable, but fails at it by going off topic. He has bland lectures that teach you absolutely nothing. Treats the students with little respect especially, since he wants so superior to everyone by acting like he knows everything. Ask a question get shamed.

He is one of the worst teacher! I had him for ULI101, he is not the greatest. He is a tough grader, test are tough, his lectures are not the greatest, he sometimes goes off topic during lectures. I would not recommended him at all. If you have the chance of switching his class, DO IT!!!!!!

Mark Fernandes is a horrible teacher, wont help anyone during any Practical Tests or anything. Tells you a little clue and walks away when you have a problem and puts no effort into trying to help his students.

Very hard

Be ready to be self thought. Mark knows his material but cannot teach it. Would recommend to swap to another prof. test are marked correct or not. no part marks.

he does not care whether students understand or not. He does not know how to explain himself in a clear way.

Doesn't give clear instructions at all, gives extremely difficult work, he doesn't care about our grade, he doesn't care about us.

Very slow marker, halfway through the course and you have no idea how you are doing. His lectures are useless.

Probably one of the worst teachers I have had in my studies, cannot believe I pay for this guy's classes. Good luck asking him for help or expecting to know how you are doing in his class. Seneca should fire this clown

This professor isn't the greatest, but is alright in the sense that he has a website that has instructions which made the course easier. His lesson are literally 30 minutes, but expands it into 1.5 hours he gets side tracked alot he talks about life and growing vegetables, He is also a hard marker and there isnt any charity when it comes to marks.

Prof seems nice but unfortunately his love of Linux can't help his teaching style. Prepare to learn on your own. Added extra quizzes weekly. Doesn't go over what will be in tests or quizzes. No half marks. 100% right answers or you fail. Doesn't go over the tests or quizzes when there done so theres no way to know how you did. AVOID

Uli101 is a very confusing course on its own, and His teaching method makes it even more confusing. The way he teaches is not teaching, not correcting your mistakes, not explaining your errors, and as a result, you get low marks. It is strange that Seneca still allowed him to teach despite all these complaints.

Although I have passed the class with no problems at all, this "professor" is an absolute joke. Thankfully, I already had experience working with Linux systems before this course, because the way this guy teaches will make you question why are you wasting your money on this school. He will focus on one thing, and keep babbling on and on.

What an absolutely horrible prof. Completely useless. Rambles on about idiotic topics and doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. How this guy is allowed to continue teaching is a mystery. Avoid him at all costs.

doesnt help in class only waffles about stuff that isnt important.

Never take this guys' courses

He never teaches, he's only there to talk about things he wants, and not teach things he is supposed to teach, he is VERY BIASED, he gave good grades to students he like, and Fail students that are okay.

Don't expect to learn much. He will tell you all about what he can do with linux and teach none of that to you. You are expected to teach yourself on your own time. You will however, be constantly reminded about how he's "automated" his entire job and just has to sit back and get payed. If you want to actually learn you need to look elsewhere.

Provides unclear instructions and vague grading rubric and won't clarify when asked. Talks about himself 80% of the time and about Linux 20%. Be prepared to teach yourself most of the content because this guy definitely won't, but on the plus side you will hear his entire life lore and will be an expert in Mark Fernandes by the end of the course.

This professor is bizarre. I don't understand how I failed their course. I only failed 3 quizzes out of 10, passed the midterm, felt good about the final (still no grade), and passed all the labs, yet I still failed. I'm shocked! Worse, they're the only one offering this course, and they still haven't explained what I did wrong or responded to me.

He rambles on the most off topic things wants you to teach yourself he's narcissistic at times and unempahetic to people struggling doesnt respond to emails threatens people who aren't willing to learn to get there money back and leave which is very rude and unwelcoming also wants you to teach him isnt he supposed to teach us??

His lectures are useless and won't improve your level of learning. He rarely responds to questions via email and won't help you even for a single command and expects you to learn all things by yourself from online search, AI or YouTube video. Besides all of these, his grading completely depends on your attendance even if he doesn't mention it.
