He's a good teacher and a nice guy. Exaggerates with a whole "cool funny teacher" thing at times, but he's ok. If you don't know the subject matter, he'll try to explain it, but gets bored and tired toward the end of the semester. Too much of work in this class: 5 tests, few online homeworks and quizzes and notebook homework. Ask for extra credit!!

Great teacher. Great sense of humor, fun class. They switched to a new book in the fall which is alot harder than the old one. In my opinion its not an entry level class especially if you have never had algebra or have been out of school for years. Did'nt like the online homework and quizes, very confusing. Passible but hard. Do all xtra credit.

Best prof I have ever had. Very approachable, goes at the classes pace and sets you up to succeed. I have taken him twice and would take him a third time if I could, great teacher. Highly reccomend espically if you aren't a good math student.

I failed 3 algebra classes at a University. In Hopkins class I got an "A"...enough said.

I am taking him for MAT 1100 and he is really, really good. I am going to take him for all the math classes at OCC. He is that good! I highly recommend him. Great sense of humor and kind to the eyes (he is hot)! I wouldn't take a maths class with anyone else.

I had mark for college Algebra, and he is AWESOME! he is so easy going and laid back. If you don't finish your online test he gives you as much time as you need! I would recommend him to anyone who is having a hard time with math! He gives out lots of extra credit before each test. Take mark for math!

He is Awesome

Hands down THE BEST mathematics instructor I ever had!

Professor is knowledgeable and likable. A good teacher but needs work on discipline. Classes started late, let out early, and were outright canceled. Tests were handed back late, or not at all, and a lot of material was skipped. I would not take this professor again for an important course.

He is my favorite teacher at OCC. Very helpful! He makes the information easy to learn and hardly ever uses the book. He gives a good amount of homework but doesnt collect it. He is a great teacher! Take him for all your Math classes!

Great professor, teaches the material well, took him 3 years ago, and still remember everything I learned and is now using it in my mechanical engineering field.

I took Precalculus in the Summer of 2009 with Mark. He was a good instructor and I'd recommend anyone to take a math class with him.

i have taken professor hopikins before and he was a great teacher, but when i took his online pre-calc class it was absoluely horrible!! he is not the worlds most organized guy. there are alot of problems in his online course! i recomend only taking him in person.

If you are good at math this class should be simple for you. He explains the material really well. He is really nice and kinda funny. The book is only used for the homework which is not collected. The tests are the only grades in the class. I would take him again.

He's a pretty cool teacher. He does a great job of explaining the material, and he likes to make jokes. He's very laid-back. The problem I had was that he does his tests in a weird format that screwed me up. The tests don't look completely like the HW problems. He cares about his students though and is very helpful.

All I can say is that even though his test format is not of your typical Math Class. (8 questions instead of 25) He's not just a Teacher, but he wants his students to succed and he'll try everything he can to do so. He'll even get a notetaker for you. Overall a Funny, Laid Back yet Wise Man who knows very well what he's doing. Highly Recommended

He is great! I loved him! Super funny/laid back guy. He wants students to do well and will do anything to help. Totally would take another one of his classes. So entertaining, even though it's math!

He's a great teacher. He's very funny in class and he makes math seem easy. But, his tests are hard, so when I take his exam it's always a big surprise to me. If you take his class, be ready to work real hard

Great teacher, does his best to help you succeed. Makes plenty of jokes. Tests are hard, but allows you to replace 1 exam with your final exam grade. Very fair, highly recommended.

Hopkins is a great teacher. He is extremely patient, helpful,and funny. He truly wants students to succeed. His tests actually reflected his handouts and homework assignments- how refreshing!He enjoys teaching and it shows! I would definately recommend him, especially to those who are mathematically challenged!

Great teacher. I realized how great he was when I had to take the following math class that he wasnt teaching, and stuggled. He prepared me very well for the material, just not the teaching style. His style helped me to understand the material, and helped me get an A! I would recommend Mark to anyone!!

Mark Hopkins is a very good teacher. He wants the students to succeed, so he takes the time to explain the material. He also has an student instructor, Beth, who is extremely helpful. She will come early or stay after class for about an hour to practice math problems from Mark's lecture. They are a great team. I am not math savvy- and I got an A.

Took 2 other Math classes at OCC since Hopkins, and felt the need to comment. HE IS AWESOME. Extremely helpful, really nice and patient. Wants students to do well and understand. Tests are a little hard, but with a little effort- this class is completely manageable. HIGHLY recommended.

Best Math Teacher I can find. Maybe the only one with any PATIENCE left!!! MARKS AWESOME!

Excellent professor: funny, interesting, lots of fun, great at explaining things in a way that is clear but not dumbed down, very willing to take time outside of class (and during class) to answer questions. Mark really likes to make you think so be prepared for that on his exams. I had a blast in this class!

Professor Hopkins is a great math professor! After not getting a high enough grade in my calculus at OU, I had to take it here to have my grade transfer. His lectures are very clear and he actually tests you on stuff he teaches.. unlike math profs at OU. Take him!!! Great, great class!

This was one of the best math course I have taken. Hopkins is one of the BEST math teachers at occ. I would highly recommend him. I will defiantly be taking his next course.

homework is assigned but not graded. grade is 100% tests. 10 points for an organized binder but i didnt bother and still passed with 102%. class session is lite and fun and his instruction is very clear. best class ive ever had, anywhere.

Mark is a FANTASTIC instructor! He is very thorough in his lectures and assigns the perfect amount of homework to help students succeed in his class. He loves to give out A's and will actually tell you how to earn it. Attend class regularly and do the assigned homework and there will be no problem achieving an A!!

He is an AMAZING prof. He TEACHES you. I actually have come to LOVE math and understand it because of him. Excellent profo. I recommend him to anyone for Math.

MARK IS THE BEST! HE HAS A GREAT SENCE OF HUMOR THAT YOU WILL NEVER GET BORED IN CLASS! HE IS VERY HELPFUL.HE IS AMAZING!!!

Mark is the Shaft of teaching mathematics. His voice is super smooth and he's a cool guy. He explains things well and will answer questions and offers constant hours available to you.His test are slightly difficult but they are very much based off of his practice test. He has a policy of replacing your lowest test grade with the grade on your final

You have to be dedicated to take this class online but Prof. Hopkins provides you with all of the resources needed to succeed. Online lectures are usually really thorough. He seems to answer questions in the lectures as soon as they pop into my head as I'm watching them. I definitely did not care for the male student instructor for this semester.

nice guy

Mark is hands down one of the best math teachers at OCC. He really explains the material well and goes over a lot of examples/handouts during class which really help a ton! Goes at a slower pace and goes over homework and tests so you aren't left in the dark like with other math professors at OCC. Highly recommended!!

GREAT!! Made me love math all over again. I go to OU and knew math professors over there were harsh so I took the class at OCC. Awesome professor, makes sure everyone understands material, attendance is not mandatory, little use of textbook, gives practice exam which has all exam questions on it so we know exactly what to expect. TAKE HIM.

Really cool guy who is always helpful and made math class fun

He is super cool and a great teacher! I would recommend him in a heart beat! He is very helpful, and takes his time to teach lessons. Tests are based directly off homework and notes. Your grade in the class is based of tests scores, not homework. If you do the homework he gives and show up to class, you will easily pass the class.

He is nice and really laid back. He gives practice test- do them! The tests will be just like them! But there will also be some questions like the book homework. I studied a lot, attended every lecture and SI session and it was easy - but my grade was important to me so I put in the time. His lectures are SLOW! And he skips stuff if u need calc 2.

Teaches good and always willing to help. Really nice guy. Only thing is schedule is confusing and unclear. Schedule says one thing and he says another. Confused as to when tests are and what is covered on tests bc he doesn't make it clear. Also starts class 10-20 minutes late

Hopkins teaching method is great and easy to follow! Could be a bit fast paced but I love it! Makes things less boring!

Mark Hopkins is the first hard math teacher I've had at OCC. The tests for his Calc II are extremely difficult, they go well beyond the homework problems. He always stays after class for an hour to offer help. He does not answer emails regularly. If you carve out time and invest energy in his class, you should expect to do well and learn a lot.

He is a awsome teacher, if you stay awake in class and do all the homework you will do very well.

He moves the class at a great pace not too fast nor too slow.

This class is completely based on tests which can be a bit scary for most myself included but with a professor like Mark Hopkins who makes an effort to help when you need it you will do fine Absolutely Love This professor he is a great guy and I have taken every math class and passed with at least a C which is a big deal since Math is not my fortay

this guy is totally awesome, he explains algebra in a great way that make everyone understand he's also very helpful and will not move on until he makes sure everyone has understood.

great voice

Mark Hopkins, was a terrific Math teacher. I'm already terrible at math and he made everything clear and made it easy to understand. He is super funny so it made going to class fun. You get out of class early pretty much every day. I would highly recommend him to anyone! I wish he taught statistics, because I would take him again! :)

AWESOME teacher! Hate math, I'm not good at math, I actually really enjoyed going to class, and I learned a lot. I highly recommend taking him. No homework to turn in, your grade is based on 4 exams and the final. Study go to SI, ask Mark questions when you don't understand something, and you will be fine! He won't move on until you understand.

Mark is a friendly guy who knows his math. He assigns homework for every class in the book, but it isn't graded, so your whole grade depends on about 5 exams. He references the book a lot in class, so it's useful to have for class as well as practice. He gives practice exams and if you study them hard, you will do great on the actual exam.

he is nice and helpful but his tests are TOUGH and VERY LONG that makes u so confused during the exam. NOT RECOMENDED if u are not good at math .

You need to go to class cause he does not follow a syllabus, but he teaches well and answers all questions. He is very accommodating. Feel free to ask questions.

GREAT professor! Went into class scared to death of math, he helped me so much! You can ask him questions during tests, he breaks things down and he's funny and SO approachable! Math actually makes sense. I never thought I'd like math but now it's bearable thanks to Mark. He also has an amazing SI, Beth. Take his classes, study, and you'll do well!

Mark is AWESOME! Do not hesitate to ask him questions before, during, or after class AND while completing tests! He always teaches back to back classes. He combines both his classes on test day so you have TWICE the time, aka 4 hours, instead of two hours, to complete tests! Godsend for slow test takers like me! Finally, do SI - Beth is fabulous!!

Tough to do college algebra in a 12 week summer session, but Mark tries to make it as painless as possible! Will postpone tests if class is not ready! Textbook homework is minimal. Study the handouts! They are of paramount importance to succeed in the exams!! Beth works on handouts in SI! Third exam is a take home test! 4 exams + final exam.

Took for an online math class. Was worried about taking math online, but he made his class more like a face-to-face setting than any other online course I have taken. Clear video lectures work through examples of all the types of problems you will see on the test. Some test questions are the EXACT SAME as the handout questions, which is helpful.

Mark is an awesome professor! I love going to class even though I hate math. Ask as many questions you want, he will answer anything!!! Also go to SI, Beth is AWESOME! You will pass his class with flying colors if you attend class and go to SI.

Straight forward about what is expected out of you. Adds in jokes throughout lectures. Provides helpful review guides before every test. Very good teacher.

Mark Hopkins sets you up for success. he ONLY exam you on the material he teaches in the class. He gives out a study guide before each test, if you practice the study guide you will get a straight A in that class. What's more important of all this is that he does Not drown you in homework he knows you have other classes to study for.

Hopkins is wonderful! I plan on taking all my Calculus classes with him. He is very thorough in lecture, and will NOT continue on until he is sure everyone understands. Also, he's constantly cracking jokes and it makes lecture that much more interesting!

Great teacher! All around great guy and productive and caring teacher. Assigns just the right amount of homework - enough for the information to set in but not enough to make you cry. His classes fill up fast, so grab your spot when you get the chance!

Awesome Teacher! I have always had a hard time with math and have never gotten over a C in any math course. I finished the course with a B! The material was tough, but Mr. Hopkins explains it in a easy way. He is always willing to help and goes above and beyond! He is a great professor and I will NOT take another math course unless it's with him!

Great Professor. Test Reviews are basically what you find on the test, just different problems. Homework isn't checked, but he does go over it. I would definitely take him again and he's funny and quite understanding. Only need textbook for homework.

If you struggle with math, Hopkins is the best. He is clear in his explanations and gives step by step instructions for how to do every problem. His teaching style is organized and easy to follow and he is happy to answer any questions during class. He gives practice problems for every problem on the exam. Homework is essential to passing!

Professor Hopkins is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. He explains everything very clearly and makes sure everyone understands.

If you have to take a math class, take it with Hopkins. He discusses material thoroughly, hands out practice exams and makes his lectures easy to follow. He answers questions, offers help and is a fair grader. I was worried about taking a math class solely based on 4 exams, but it made me a better test taker and have more confidence in the end.

Mark was a wonderful professor!! He always gave review tests before tests that were almost identical to the tests and very helpful. Homework is not graded but make sure you take the time to do it anyways because it will pay off! Mark had an SI leader who was the BEST thing ever, she was so helpful and knew just as much as he did. Highly recommend!!

One of the best math professors I ever had.

An awesome professor! Explains concepts very well, and works to make sure that the entire class understands a concept. He even would delay a test an extra class day sometimes to ensure that all students fully understood the test material. He also holds a study/question session the class before the test day, which was super helpful. Take his class!!

This class is easy if you put the time in it. The professor wants you to ask questions and makes you feel conferrable in the class. I was so nervous going into this class but Mark is a great professor. No quizzes only exams, you much do your homework to understand.

Professor Hopkins was one of the best professors I ever took. I was never good at math but he really makes you understand the sections. He explains it well and notes are great that help you prepare for exams/homework/final.

Was the best math professor I've ever had, and would recommend him to anyone. Very inspirstional.

Professor Hopkins was wonderful. He helped me out so much once I told him the only other type of math I had was intermediate algebra. He really cares about his students. One project thats really easy, 3 exams, 1 quiz and a final (optional depending on your grade). Great professor, would definitely take him if he taught stats. Take him!

Work hard and you will get it. Best math teacher I've ever had! Cured my math phobia!

Like every math teacher, Mark lectures everyday and you do have homework everyday. However, the homework is optional. If you're good at math and don't need practice every night, you don't need the textbook. I went two semesters with Mark and without a textbook. Super cool, relatable dude!

Prof. Hopkins is an amazing teacher, took the same class last year with another professor and ended up dropping. With Mark I was very successful and understood the material. He is more then willing to help with any problems. Homework is for practice and not graded. Class is based on 4 test, final, and a small project.

Mark is the best! He makes everything clear and makes sure the whole class understands what he is teaching. Very funny also. His SI, Beth is very helpful as well. Ask lots of questions and see Beth and you are sure to get an A!

He is very clear on what he wants & what you need to know.

Mark is still the best professor i've ever had, and I was lucky enough to have him twice. Has the gift of making hard math easy to understand but also interesting. He is the reason I enjoy math now and talked me into getting my math minor. Cares about his students and will stay late to help. Points are scarce, but if you go to class you will pass.

Mr. Hopkins was the best professor I've ever had! I have struggled with math my whole life and I saw someone else wrote on here he cured their math phobia! and that is exactly how I feel! I'm now at MSU and I feel like Mr. Hopkins really helped me get there! He's so funny and if you work hard he will help you and you'll do great in his class!

You are graded on 4 exams and a final. I had Mark for all my math at OCC, and have really grown to LOVE his math teaching skills. He lays out everything you need to know for your tests and expects you to study. The only bad part is homework is not apart of your grade, only the tests and final.

Mark is knowledgeable about what he's teaching. I'd recommend taking any/all math classes with him because he clearly explains the subject matter and he'll have you prepared for your next math course. Hilarious guy too, he really loves interacting with students! He makes a lot of time for students to ask questions. 10/10 Best math teacher I've had.

Mark Hopkins is definaty the professor I would recommend you to take for a math class. You are graded on a total of four tests and a project. The lowest test score gets dropped at the end. His lectures are very clear and he makes sure everyone understands it before moving on. He gives test reviews with problems that are only going to be on the test

Best math teacher! His lectures are easy to understand and he's super helpful. I've taken math classes at other campuses and at OU but he was the best. Homework is optional and he does offer extra credit questions on the exams. Final exam was optional (just ask him)

Phenomenal teacher. He's so good that I'm worried about having to take another math professor next semester; I just don't want to go back to average professors. He treats you more like a friend than a student. Don't think, take him.

Mark Hopkins is by far one of the best teachers I've ever had. He truly wants everyone to pass his class, so he makes sure to do a good job explaining the topics. He treats everyone as friends rather than "just students" and he'll even joke around with the class every now and again. 10/10 Awesome guy; I'm bummed he isn't teaching Calc next semester

Do not take anyone else for calc besides him. Great professor and makes the class very fun.

Professor Hopkins was awesome! He cared about his students. He would always answer questions. take good notes and show up to class. TAKE HIM!!

MARK CARES

One of the best teachers I've ever had. Beth, the supplemental instructor was also a huge part of my success in my math classes. Mark puts in the effort to get you to start to understand the concepts introduced and takes the time to answer your questions. We covered more material than other math classes that helped out in physics. Highly recommend

Mark is awesome! He truly cares for his students. He makes sure every single student understands the material before moving on.

Math is not easy for me but I've had Mark for 3 classes, (including diffy q and Calc II) he is definitely the best choice imo. That being said you still have to do the hw and study hard, if you have any problems just talk to him!

We got super far behind this semester, causing all of the students to cram new material the week before finals. Mark is awesome. He knows his stuff and teaches it well. Hes funny and keeps you entertained while lecturing. Would take him again if I needed to further my math education.

Mark is such an amazing person. His technical skills are unmatched, but I think what really sets him apart is his person. He wants every one of his students to get an "A" and gives a plan to do so. His teaching style is accessible to everyone. Participate in his class, and enjoy your "A"!

I can't say enough good things about Mark. I struggle in math and in this class he made it very easy and fun to learn. He gives out a solid amount of hw each night but doesn't grade it but do it because his tests which is the main focus of your grade are kinda hard if you don't know how to do the material. Participate and you'll do fine

I cannot begin to express how much I appreciated Mark's math class. The guy is amazingly funny, cares about every student, and is really just a genuinely good dude. I highly recommend taking any of his math classes!!

He's a great math teacher, makes math fun and easy to learn and takes his time for every student. The main reason I am pursuing to be a math teacher.

An incredible and caring professor who understands the struggles of students but still makes the class rewarding. I took many classes with him, and I just can't say enough about how great he is. The classes are hard (it's math), but no where NEAR as ridiculously tedious or complicated as his fellow colleagues in the math department. 10/10

Mark! OMG what a great professor! I have taken Calc 1 and calc 2 with Mark. He is super funny and knows how to make the class fun. I would've taken all my classes with him if I didn't transfer to university!

Mark is the best math professor I have ever had! He does everything he can to make sure that you understand the material and is always willing to meet up with students outside of class. He is a really nice guy and makes the class enjoyable. The workload is not too much and he makes sure everyone is prepared for the tests. I'd 100% recommend him.

He will take the time before and after class to answer questions. Very helpful and funny. He is not all that great at responding to emails though so if you need to get a talk to him best bet is talking in person.

Mark creates an enjoyable learning environment and is able to explain complex math concepts in understandable ways. If you struggle with lecture material, he makes himself available before/after class and even provides suggestions for extra practice. I would have taken more classes with him if more of my classes transferred to my university.

Marks resources for preparing for his exams are really easy. Everything is literally on handouts. Homework counts as 10 points for each problem and if you do more than ten problems, you get extra credit. The last two teachers at OCC who taught this class were terrible. I made the best choice to take it with Mark. Hes super nice and the best.

I took Calc I & II with Mark in 2018 and I've never seen him treat a student as described in some reviews here. I honestly felt that Mark cared about his students and wanted them to succeed. He postpones exams if he feel's the class isn't ready. He would bring doughnuts and candy for the class on several occasions like Halloween. Fantastic Prof.

He was a great professor to have, his personality about math was great and made the class enjoyable. Although, at times, it felt like he didn't feel like teaching this high of a math and got lazy it seemed like. But other than that, he is approachable and helps you understand concepts. Cares about his students a lot and it shows.

Great teacher and lecturer, He gives clear criteria for the tests and this makes it so you don't have to over study. He is kind and the SI in the class gives you the ability to visit for an hour after class to go over notes and homework. If you want a ideal college experience take this professor.

Mark is a great teacher he just wants to help you understand everything he is teaching you and you never have to feel stupid about asking a question because a lot of math teacher put you down when you ask a question but all he wants to do is help you understand math and not just the steps but why we have to do the steps and everything in between

As a first-year college student, I was scared of calc, but he explains SO well that he makes calc way easier than algebra. Tests are extremely easy, you don't even have to study other than the practice tests he gives. Your grade is based on 5 tests total, pay attention and you'll do great! He's funny and super nice. TAKE HIM, you won't regret it!

Simply said, it's a math class. He is very friendly and definitely gets distracted and off topic with students that he had prior. Other than that, he has a lot of worksheets to help you on top of the text book hw. He gives points for hw by putting problems on the board 10 minutes before class. Only 10 points, but that may help in the end.

I didnt try as much as I should have in this class but I still really enjoyed mark as a professor. I would definitely take him again as he is really flexible with outside tutoring. He boosts your confidence and makes math super fun (as weird as that sounds)

Prof Mark is my absolute favorite professor. I hated math and never understood it before taking his class, but his lectures make sense and I find myself thoroughly enjoying them. Do everything he says and you WILL get an A in his class. He doesnt lie about that. Hes passionate about his job and you can tell that he wants his students to succeed.

Lovely teacher! I recommend not studying "practice tests" as your only material before tests, as sometimes a curve ball problem is thrown. He is super helpful with the breakdown of problems, just make sure to not miss any classes to stay ahead. If you want the practice tests or wks posted you have to push it on him or it wont get done. Taking agan

I hate math. But, after taking Mark's class, I now believe this is due to poor profs of the past! Lectures are super important to attend, as the course schedule is flexible to the class' understanding of the material. Breaks concepts down to base components that build on each other. Do EVERY worksheet/homework assignment, ESPECIALLY the pre-tests!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful of a professor Mr. Hopkins is. Math is by far my weakest subject, and I walked out of there with a B. Gives clear, concise instructions on how to do the work. Extremely fair. As kind as they come. If I could take him for every level of math, I wouldn't think twice about it. 5 stars, 10/10.

Definitely don't recommend taking Calc 1 without any prior math experience. Make sure you brush up on your intermediate algebra. Grade is counted on 4 test plus a final and small amount of homework. Class is out of 510 points. Hopkins is nice but definitely speaks the math language, which can be hard to follow. Talks a lot with his prior students

Math has never been my strongest subject, but Mark made it fun and I truly understood the material! I was shocked when this class actually became my favorite out of the others I was taking during the time. He is easy-going, excellent at his job. Very good prof for those who struggle with math. Super caring and it shows. I 100% recommend. :)

He is so nice and his tests are just like the practice tests! Take his class and make sure you do your homework! Its extra credit!

His lectures were mediocre. He's a cool guy and somewhat made calculus bearable. Exams were a lot! He doesn't post a schedule on his syllabus so you will know a week in advance if there is an exam coming up, which was annoying. Not really reachable outside of class.

He is a great professor. It was definitely a good experience. I did not grade a higher grade because i did not want to take the final exam, but overall his way of teaching is amazing.

Mark is by far the best professor for math at occ. I didnt pass my first calc class and I took my second one with him. Its hard but he makes it somewhat understandable. He also lets you leave the classroom to take tests.

Amazing math prof. He made calc so easy, do the HW and go to SI and you'll pass. Do the board HW and get those EC points. Once we went online bc of corona he wasn't very good at responding to questions. Ask the SI or other students for help or tutoring. Exams aren't hard if you keep up with HW and study

Seems like he went down on ratings during this COVID time but trust me, you won't find any better professor. At least when I took him in person last year, he was outstanding (prob the best). Everyone is struggling; yes, even professors, but I know you guys got this! See Organic Chemestry Tutor calc vids on Yt if you don't understand something.

Mark is my favorite professor. His course calendar helped me stay on track and his lectures and handouts were extremely helpful. He was extremely kind, caring and laid-back. Only the exams are graded, but the hw is a must do to learn content. If I had more math classes to take, I would definitely only have him for my teacher. Highly recommend.

This was the easiest math class I've ever taken. Just do a few hw problems and you'll be prepared for his extremely easy tests, I was scared of calc but he made it easy to understand. If you think this class is hard, maybe consider changing your major or dropping college, calc is very important for engineering and computer science, sorry for truth.

Class is based in tests from topics we covered in videos. The practice tests and reviews are a must in order to be ready for tests(medium). He might not be as good as in person but his class is passable. And homework is practice, which also helps. Plus, there are a ton of Youtube videos online where we can do self-teaching. Great professor! My fav!

Mark was a great math professor. He is lecture heavy, but explains everything really well. He really cares about his students. He goes above and beyond for students to help the succeed.

Great professor.

This professor is one of my favorites he makes his lecture a very comfortable place to ask questions and soak in information. Although his lectures are laid back it comes with the consequence of making sure you are caught up on your homework even though it was not graded.

Awesome professor, He really cares about each of his students and gives you all of the resources needed to pass the class.

Mark is fantastic! His lecture vids are incredibly thorough, he goes through problems slowly and actually explains why things are the way they are. His handouts are great and make for very easy note-taking. He's also insanely organized and keeps a schedule so it's easy to stay on track. Follow the schedule and you'll be well-prepared for tests!

The class I took was asynchronous and he had videos from a previous semester to watch. The videos had quite a few mistakes which were either not called out before this class or he didn't care to make a new video. He will take the time to help you out and will be forgiving with some questions, but you may need extra time to practice new material.

I have dyslexia and he goes through everything slow and thoroughly which made all the difference. He's also very sweet and TRULY doesn't believe that there is such thing as a stupid question. I want him to teach every math level every semester!

Does a great job of getting his point across and makes it really easy to pick up new information. Lecture quizzes every week that are worth 5 points and his test are formatted just like his practice test (so no trick questions). Homework isn't graded either. Only complaint is that Mark doesn't going to into further depth on some topics.

Professor Hopkins is a great Math professor. He is very clear about what is expected in his syllabus, and even provides a course calendar that he follows to a T. I'll be taking his classes for future math courses.

I took this class as a dual enrollment student from high school, and I actually really enjoyed this glad. Mark made calculus 2 fun and interactive. my only complaint was that some of his explanations felt overcomplicated at times, but overall he explained things well and made it easy to learn. He clearly cares about his students and is very helpful

Although his tests are on the difficult side, he is very clear with what will be on each test. His lectures are not dry or tiring even for a night class. He doesn't ramble endlessly and ends the class when the content is complete, and stays after class if you need help. For those who care, he is not heavy on proofs.

You will love to take him if you love hard core homework with a teacher who refuses to help and gets distracted. Avoid hi at all costs.

Heavily relies on pre-recorded lectures, but office hours, along with SI sessions, are extremely helpful. Calc1 is difficult, so do expect to put in alot of work. He does take some time to get back to emails. Prac tests prepare you well for the actual tests. I've actually never done the hw, and the lec handouts and pracs prepared me well enough.

Watching pre-recorded lectures are a must (they aren't that bad on 1.5-2x speed). Very straight forward and easy to follow along content. Highly recommend going to OH or SI sessions if confused. Practice tests & lecture handouts prepare you well for tests (you'll know what to expect). Calc 1 in itself is hard, but you just have to put in effort.

I want to take this professor again.

This professor has office hours that you can attend two times per week at variable times. This is a tough math class and you should know before you take this course that this class will require you to study daily, at least 4 hours per day if you want to give it your best. Compared to other professors, he's actually very kind and outgoing.

Took Hopkins for three different math classes, if you're able to keep up with homework and do all the packets he offers then you'll be able to pass all of his classes, he really sets everything up for the students to pass and is very straight forward. Would def take again.

If I had to take another math class at OCC, I might consider taking an easier one with him. Math 1630 was really hard. He was very lenient when calculating final grades, though.

Hopkins is a very good professor when teaching online with lecture videos. Honestly, if you put in the time to rewatch his videos to fully understand the topics then you'll do well in his class.

He was super nice and explained the material perfectly. I was a little upset that he didn't round my grade up but it's okay. Just practice the material and you'll do fine. He's super funny too so it makes long lectures go by really quick!

He is a good teacher. he tells you whats going to be on the tests. its an easy class if you attend all the lecture. i dont know if i would take him for calc 2 doe.

I really enjoyed this professor, I felt that things were straight forward and the class is set up to see you be successful. I appreciated the help I received outside of the class and felt he was very kind and enjoyed his job. One of the best professors I had at OCC.

Absolutely fantastic Professor, I plan to take him for Diff EQ

Just keep up with the practice problems and ask questions when you have them. I have seen him do problems over and over one on one with students to make sure that they have it down. This is one of the few professors where if you get a bad grade its your fault. He gives you every tool to succeed. He is very funny and kind. One of the best.

Mark Hopkins is good for math

THIS IS THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER YOU WILL PASS HE IS VERY KIND AND CARING AND IS WILLING TO SHOW YOU THE STEPS NO MATTER HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE

Hes passionate about what he does,welcomes any and all questions,very patient. He won't make you feel dumb for asking a lot of questions,he prefers that;that way he knows what the students are grasping vs not.He tells you what's on the exam so you don't study for the wrong things. Math is hard, but he's willing to make it easier to understand

Good Professor

I was spectacle after reading so many negative reviews online but found out that as long as you watch lectures, submit your assignments on time and study for tests you should be fine. All the tests are from material he teaches. It took me some time to understand his style otherwise I would have gotten an A. Would definitely take his class again

This was my first college class and I thought it was very straight forward. Math comes easy to me, however, the lecture videos were thorough and explained everything you would need to know for lecture quizzes/ tests. The practice tests were very similar to the actual tests, and professor was upfront about what to expect on the final exam.

I had him for calc 1, hes solid. Doesnt care if you ask questions, he'll take the time to explain it mulitple ways if you say you don't get it. You do have to put in the work though, its a harder course so that should be common sense. Clear grading criteria, gives partial credit if you show work.

I took the class online—challenging but doable. Diff eq makes assignments tough, but he's helpful in office hours. Bad reviews don't do him justice; he's great with a clear schedule and organized D2L. Some worksheet/video errors can confuse. Exams truly test if you understand and can solve problems. Put in the work and you'll do well. Good Luck !

This is definitely one of my favorite professors. He is very caring and willing to help students; he explains the material in a way that is easy to understand. It is also very easy to reach out for help. His in-person classes are WAY BETTER than his online classes. I'd definitely recommend him. Homework isn't mandatory either, tests are very easy.

This math professor was absolutely fantastic! He explained concepts clearly, graded tests, quizzes, the final, and a project fairly, and was always approachable and supportive. He made class engaging, fun, and challenging in the best way. Truly one of the coolest and most effective teachers I've had!

Bro is chill. Take the lecture notes if you're online. Practice the listed exercises in the discussions, and you'll be golden. Don't miss out on the lecture quizzes. They can seriously help your grade. He does make some mistakes in the lecture videos, and it shows up too often to be comfortable, but I'd rather him than anyone else.

Good lectures, hw not mandatory so I never did it. As long as you go to class you should learn everything you need to know for exams. Will tell you what's on exams, especially if you ask, really nice too. Very limited EC, tough on grading exams imo. Otherwise, super chill. If I missed a class, his posted online lectures taught super well anyway.
