hes a little crazy, and gets off the subject A LOT, but thats ok bc I hate math. he will help you if u dont understand, and he never makes you feel dumb for asking anything.
Great teacher, fun to learn from!
He teaches Developmental Math Basics and Developmental Mathematics.
Fabulous teacher!!! Math was never my strong point and he actually made it easier to understand!! Thanks bunches Mark!!!
No Comments
Hes great at making you laugh to ease the tention in the room. So in that respect I think he is great to have for an instructor. He does make things easy to understand. Wait till I tell him he has a rating LMAO!
he is awesome. i look forward to going to class
i wish i could take him with me when i transfer
Great teacher. Looked forward to his classes. Makes learning fun and breaks it down so you can understand. He does get off track but has a lot of helpful information that can help you in other classes. Very informative. He does not like English teachers. :-) If you do the homework you will do well in class. He reviews before most of his tests.
I had Mark for Math 031 and 032 and learned so much. I didn't have the same experience in his Math 101 class. He just didn't seem as passionate about teaching this class. He likes to put trick questions on his tests but gives partial credit which is very helpful.
Great teacher! very helpful, trick is to do what he says and do everything he gives you! Had a great time in this class, wish I could take him for 102.
He is the best teacher that I ever had in Math. He is so good and his class was very interesting. I've learned a lot from his class. He is very helpful. You just have to do your homework. His test was a piece of cake if you spend time on your homework. I advised you all to take his class you will never regret it. You will have fun with his class.
really tries to help you understand just ask questions. i really enjoyed his class
Mr. Gollwitzer was, hands down, the worst professor I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He wastes class/students time with frivolous subjects and passes students he has caught cheating.
Mr. G is a nice guy, but not organized in his teaching. He is great about giving you credit for any work on your tests and gives extra credit. Be prepared to teach yourself because he gets distracted in class and doesn't get through his lessons.
Mark is a great teacher, but you have to ask the questions if you don't understand!!! I don't just hate math... I loath it!! But, because he is able to explain things 10 different ways, I actually pulled a B out of this class. He gave me the foundation I needed to get an A in Math 102. (I haven't made an A in a math class since the 6th grade):)
He was the best math teacher I ever had and the first time I ever earned an A in a math class. But with a lot of hard work, his help and the math center I DID it!!! Awesome teacher. Wish he taught Stats..lol.
I sure wish I had him this semester..already miss the stories. He was an awesome instructor, just don't get him started on political conversations...or maybe should. He really does care about his students and that they grasp the concepts.
Ok so this class just started and he mentioned this website. So far he is pretty amusing, but what I really like so far, is that he really seems to care that we understand the subject. I honestly don't know how to use this calculator and he took time making sure we got it..I don't feel stupid in this class. I might even ask a question or two. Whew.
He is the best teacher. I had a C in 101 and I have an A+ in his class. He gives some extra credit and doesn't load tests with all the hard stuff. He talks a lot about stuff unrelated to class but he's at least interesting and makes some good points. Definitely recommend him.
I was dreading taking another math class, but Mark definately makes this class interesting. He really cares about his students. If anyone is looking for a teacher that cares he is the one.
GREAT TEACHER
makes things so easy to comprehend
Mr. G is the bomb! Thank you for making my search for a good grade possible. I would suggest anyone that needs a real teacher to request Mr. G for that
I hated all math until I got Mr. G as a teacher.He explains thing 1, 2 or three different ways until you understand it. He talks about everything in class be it politics, kayaking, skiing, and when you think there is no way for him to wrap it back around to math he finds a way. He is great!
Mr. G however is AWESOME. I actually have a grade worth putting down on paper. He will help you and he hinks out of the box. If you have had problems in math (like moi) please take this man's class. If you have been afraid of math, he gives you a chance to LEARN it. He is a little scatterbrained but Good with it. Lots of extra points on test too!
I learned alot of new math tricks that would have changed my opinion about math at a younger age had I learned them. H eis a good teacher and will let you disagree with him and not take it personally.
I highly recommend Mr G. He is amazing in his teaching style becase you LEARN not just retain for the semester. I am taking him again for 102! He's also nice and charming and if you have to be out he is not a upset about it like the other people that call themselves teachers. He will help you as much as he can but he is so good u usually know it!
This guy is awesome! I never got an A in math until tis instructor. He is a great teacher and his class is fun!
He like Heroes and Matrix so he rocks!
very good teacher
Very helpful teacher. He is so nice, and will help you in any way he can. I never got past Algebra 1 in high school, and I actually understand how he teaches.
He is a great teacher. He does talk a good bit, but I think that it actually helps you learn the material better. Definately take his class if you suck at math!
He is a great teacher! I suck at Math and have an A in his class. He has a great way of explaining things!! He makes it much more interesting by being so talkative. He has some really good stories to tell. Take his class if you get the chance!
He is a great teacher who loves what he does
Explains material well but, likes to get off subject quite a bit. Seemed to be unorganized and sometimes unprepared. Overall a good teacher.
Tis teacher is a very outter space person. He dont teach out the book. He allows the younger students to talk about everything but math. He could be a good teacher if he would stay on task. He dont like to explain the lesson. He treats you like you should already know the material. If you are an older student dont take this teacher
I had Mr. G for 032, 101, & 102. He's the best ever! I never understood math before him. He also taught me about life too. I love you Mr. G!
best damn math teacher at gtech... Took his 5week 102 this summer. Took me 5 times to pass this class and finally did with him as my instructor!!
Mr. G was an enjoyable teacher. He is very helpful, very fair on the tests and also offers some extra credit. He likes to talk and sometimes you need to just tune him out and work on the given problems. Sometimes there is a little cramming before tests but again he is a fair teacher. I would of liked to have him for 110 if he was teaching it..
Very good teacher. Explains the subject well and offers a lot of help to the students. Not only does he give an extremely clear understanding over math, but he makes the class entertaining with some of the off subject things he says. I'd say if anyone is attending Greenville Tech and you get him as a teacher, you're more than well off.
I liked him very much very good teacher. He will keep working with you til you get it. Gives partial credit if you show your work and you tried even if it's the wrong answer in the end. Gonna try to take him for 102 as well.
Mr G is an amazing teacher.. He teaches Math like it is a foreign language.. Not picking on anyone or anything, but if you have never understood Math, He is your teacher. Ya.. and thats frustrating if you dont get him.. BUT YOU NEED TO!
Talk more about himself than teach! Makes you feel dumb, if you ask any questions!!! Do not take him!!!!!!
I hated math in high school but it has been so easy with him that I actually learned without knowing it. great guy
Makes learning fun!
Awesome Teacher; started in Math 031,032,101 & now 102. He makes learning math enjoyable. Thanks Mr.G!
Mr Gollwitzer is the BEST!!!!!He is fun and treats everybody with respect. Being in his class makes you WANT to learn Math because you feel like somebody finally has your back!!! I highly recommend Mr Gollwitzer to anyone who wants an AWESOME math teacher. : )
He is really helpful.teaches us 3 different ways to solve one problem. I hate fractions, especially dividing them but he made them seem like a piece of cake. He always talks about what he reads,see's on tv, etc. but transforms it into a math equation. oddly awesome guy and great teacher.
He is a good teacher but I came into this class not needing to take it but wanting to feel more confident going into 101. I don't. I did all of my homework and came to class but still struggle with fractions. He loves to talk about himself and everything else. Then about 20 minutes on actual math.I think people like his class because it is loose.

Mr. Golliwitzer has a way about teaching that sneaks up on you. He maked class fun and down to earth. He has a way with telling stories that makes you think about not only math but life. I loved sitting under his tooliage.
I have taken Mr. Gollwitzer class for 2 semesters. I would just like to say if you have ever had trouble with Math then you sould take Mr. Gollwitzer's class... have a good semester..
Mr Gollwitzer is that rare teacher who understands that some of us are terrified of Math and does his best to take that fear away. He makes it okay to ask questions and make mistakes and he treats everyone with respect.I have learned so much. Everyone I know who has had him LOVES him including myself. THANK YOU MR GOLLWITZER!!! : )
VERY GOOD TEACHER..THIS IS COMING FROM SOMEONE THAT HAS MADE C'S AND BELOW IN MATH,,NOT SUGAR COATING, HE'S AWESOME!
Professor G-Witz is a mathmatical genius. His teaching was are sorta un-ethical but it works and works very well. I believe that all math teachers should have to go through a course with Mr. G-Witz in order to be able to teach math at any level. Its also cool to have a professor like his job so much, which makes him have fun while hes teaching.
This man is awesome! I was horrible at math and then I had him and everything makes since! He's still teaching so get him while you can!
Awesome teacher... hard but you will learn how to do math!
I was really lucky to have Mark Gollwitzer for Math 032 and 101, I definitely plan to catch him for 102 and I definitely recommend him to anyone, while he does talk alot about random things sometimes he does a great job of teaching and is very patient with his students and willing to take the time to help them understand everything.
Great teacher!!
Take online
I hate math but always enjoyed his class! He is so entertaining and funny! Gives lots of credit for work shown on tests. He's awesome! Too bad he doesnt teach anyhing beyond 102 :(
He is a great professor that makes it his personal goal for you to succeed. Highly recommended!!!
I believe he can teach any one who is willing to learn. I would recommend him to any one taking any math that he teaches.
If you are willing to learn, Mr. G will teach you. As a teacher, he does his job well. As a person, he is one of the nicest on campus and is friendly everywhere you see him. His humor kept the class going and was all tied into Math.
if you take 101 or 102 math this is the guy you want, he is hilarious, and a super laid back guy.
Mr. Gollwitzer is a great teacher. I took him over the summer and got an A in his class. Do all the home work. He's laid back and has a different teaching style. He likes to talk a lot but an AWESOME teacher.
Very nice person. Easy to learn. Very sociable. Made it a goal to help you learn. The kind of person I would hang out with outside of class.
Mr. Gollwitzer is an outstanding teacher. He teaches using real life examples and you would never know he is teaching math. He gives plenty of extra credit, if you do it and pay attention in class you can make an easy A. He is a great teacher and is highly recommended.
I absolutely loved Mr. G! He is the funnest, most easy going teacher there. I hated math before taking his class and now I'm actually good at it. I did fast-track,which I highly recommend
Great man. Funny, laid back, carefree. Loves to talk...about anything!! I took fast track 031-032 after years out of high school. I made straight A's. He made sure everyone understood what we were learning. Wanted to have him again for 101, but he doesn't teach when I am available. He made class interesting with his witty personality.
I really liked Mr. Gollwitzers teaching method, he is a great instructor. a little long winded on things that don't have to do with math, but that helped that class get used to him faster.
What a crazy teacher. So off topic that you think your not learning but you really are. He will do anything in his power to help you pass his class. The only way you can fail is but not even trying!!
Mr. Gollwitzer is a great teacher who shows compassion for his students and wants them to pass. He is open to using different methods to achieve the same result and will not penalize for using different methods than he taught in class.
MR. Gollwitzer is one of the best math professors at tech... I made A's in both of his classes that he taught. He is very laid back if you do the work, and I highly recommend him; especially if you are not good in math!!!

This class is a tough course. Do not take this teacher if you are expecting to lean from the text book. He uses new methods, different from what you have learned in highschool. He is a nice guy but is very much in love with himself and isn't afraid to let you know how awesome he is and how he is the best teacher.
Mr. Gollwitzer is a great teacher. He makes it seem like you're not even in math... it's awesome. I would definitely recommend him to any student. I took his emporium math 102 and we didn't use the textbook but I'm sure in his other classes it is needed.
I loved having Mr. Gollwitzer as a teacher, but I took his emporium class and I found that I am not good at teaching myself, so if you are not good with teaching yourself make sure to take his actual class rather than in his emporium. It is hard for him to come help every student in the emporium since so many want his help, but help is there.
great teacher, he made me LOVE math. the way he teaches is truly gifted and very unique. Mr. Gollwitzer will help you if you have any trouble with math.
Mr. Gollwitzer is a very good teacher! Be ready to hear lots of stories about random things and corny jokes! Super sweet guy, caring and full of life! Fun class, can get kind of boring when he goes on and on about his random stories but you will learn a lot if you listen to him. Would recommend him!
Mark is awesome and very helpful if you have any questions. He teaches differently than most and makes you want to learn and understand. His techniques are awesome.
I had him for fast track Math 031 & 032. He gets off topic a lot but at the end of each class session you'll know what's going on in the lesson. Doesn't care about students being on their phones because it's you grade, not his.
Mr. Gollwitzer changed my life!! Recommend this awesome instructor to anyone who has difficulties in maths. I'm on my way to become an engineer thanks to him.
Prof. doesn't teach, so if you take his course, be prepared to teach yourself. He would rather tell you how he is "the greatest prof at the school" and how smart he is than teach. Strongly do not recommend.
He does not stay on topic, in favor of telling students long-winded stories about his life and political stances, so you have to teach yourself the content through homework. Lectures are mandatory, however, though you will learn very little by actually attending class. I love math, and this teacher killed my motivation and enjoyment of it.
Mark was awesome! I am not a math person at all and I finally got math with him
After failing my first semester of math I was very skeptical about passing my next semester. Mark is a great teacher and made the math very simple for me. He does get off topic very easily for quite amount of time; he lets you know what all is on the test and gives easy tricks to help remember how to do problems
Great professor. He does talk a lot about stuff that you don't think will go along with the course but the guy knows his stuff, and he knows how to teach. As long as you pay attention and make an effort to learn how he teaches you to attack a problem, you should have no problem passing.
Prof Gollwitzer is a great instructor. There are times he rambles on, but seriously the class is so easy that there is time to spare, so why not talk about other stuff. He makes math simple and easy to understand. Would definitely recommend and take again! Give him a chance, and show up for class -- you should have no problem passing his class.
Mr. G. is an overall great guy. He has a laid back teaching style and doesn't require the use of the textbook. He is extremely knowledgeable & passionate about math. With that said, I honestly learned 95% of the materials through the Hawkes program this semester. He tends to get off track and spends a great deal of time talking about world events.
Hes cool
Take Him !!!
Professor G has a sarcastic attitude, if you understand it.. its very funny. I enjoyed the class. He jumps around a lot from conversation to conversation.
Doesn't respect you as a student, nor does he respect your opinion. He tries to cram material before a test, and that's not fair to the students.
He will talk all day and go off topic and the next thing you know the class is behind and if you talk he will get upset but hes not even talking about math and you are . Definitely would not take again good teacher but he was a bit rude and very off topic. I would be able to watch a movie and just wait until he got back to teaching
Mr. Gollwitzer is the best instructor Ive ever had. Every math class Ive had since elementary, I have barely passed. But with Mr. Mark, I finished with a 90. He will go off topic, but it usually has something to do with the course. If you pay attention, which you should be doing anyways, you will pass no problem. I would take his class again.
Mr. Gollwitzer really helped me gain confidence in Math. After taking MAT 100 with him, I went on to pass Prob&Stat with a B, which I never felt was possible. Mr. G makes class fun and provides real life context to the Math problems. Any negative reviews are probably from Students who failed to apply themselves.
The professor's online virtual classes were accessible during the first two units and after that, there's been many problems trying to view them. It seems that the professor has grown distant into trying to resolve the virtual class issue.
Mr. Gollwitzer is a personable guy. His lectures tend to go off-topic a lot to a point where it can get annoying but some may like that. He's extremely hard to get a hold of via email or get office hours with and I feel like I taught myself most of the course with YouTube. However, he is extremely forgiving on grading if you show your work.
The worst teacher I've had so far at Greenville Tech. You just end up teaching yourself. On the first day, he tells the class we are all struggling students. Little does he know my previous semester I made the dean's list because I had amazing teachers. He talks about random stuff more then he teaches.
Professor Gollwitzer was hard to get into contact with while i took his class last fall. We wouldn't hear from him for a week, and we wouldn't be able to log on to do the tests. The class isn't that hard though if you have a basic understanding of mathematics. He also gives bonus points for showing your work.
Dont take him unless you are okay with having your time constantly wasted. We have 2 1/2 hours of class time but he spends 90% of it talking about unrelated topics and then crams material. You would be better off taking a online class and teaching yourself
Professor Gollwitzer will teach you everything you need to know. Be present in class and pay attention and you will walk out with ATLEAST a B. He is a very funny guy. He likes talking and gets off track sometimes, however somehow it always circles back to what you are learning. I highly recommend if you don't mind showing up to class.
