An excellent proffessor. Keeps the attention of all students.

Great Prof, he is SO here for the students

This guy is excellent. I learned a lot in his class and enjoyed his class too.

Great work!

Totally hot. And inspiring..........

So helpful! Great for extra help. Gorgeous smile. Recommended!

Excellent teacher, nice guy, intelligent discussions

VeryGenius, yet speaks as he's a real person vs. the typical crazy academic.

really good lectures, you'll enjoy his classes!

amazing guy -- still one of my favourite profs after 4 years of school

Tough professor, but learned more than in classes with easy professors - very smart guy - has a lot of political opinions

His marking can be tough, but he is lenient on deadlines. He understands that we may have busy schedules.

Very helpful, intelligent, strong feminist. The course was great! I'd take another class with him easily. A bit of a hard marker on essays.

He is incredibly SEXY!!! I took a class I hated just because he was teaching it. He has a way of making even the boring novels seem interesting. I just can't get over how HOT he is.

awesome prof.

Fun teacher to listen to, well set out essays and final exam, very clear, and if you stayed for lectures, easily passible

Mark is a great teacher, he put out some pretty cool ideas and is a HUGE feminist, which was awesome. He had a great sense of humor he was tough but fair with the essay, and was more than willing to help you out with essays etc. AWESOME guy take his class

I loved this course and still talk to the prof a year later! He is a great teacher.

Very interesting. Good points of view and very knowledgable. Interesting.

awesome class, awesome prof. Id take any course he taught hes just that kind of interesting

O man, Mark is the MAN! Easy marker! keeps 110% of your attention. He makes eveything easy on you. Funny, intelligent, super COOL dude !

Mark is dope man. I have hated every english class Ive taken except this one. He actually made English interesting for me.

Great Prof. No old-school stuffiness. He references modern media such as films, video games, music to elevate analysis of centuries old texts.

Mark is an entertaining instructor with strong opinions. I appreciated his flexibility in instructions and special circumstances. Work hard and be creative and you'll do fine in his class. FYI - he dislikes emoticons, conservatives/republicans, and Top Gun. Mark probably will read this and know who this is, so hi Mark! Here's a chili just for you.

Mark is one the most gifted instructors I have had in University. His classes are very interesting and engaging, his assignments are relevent to the course material, and he is very straight forward and an overall great guy. I definately recommend taking one of his classes!

A really cool guy. His appearance doesnt look like an instructor with the Ph.D. However, his class is interesting and he really knows how to make presentation become comfortable 4 his students.

What a great new addition to the faculty! His classes are fun, well prepared & very interesting. Also a nice guy...I wonder if he's married?

Mark is an awesome teacher, but don't expect it to be easy. If you work hard youll get a good Mark, mind the pun..

Mark is an awesome prof to have. He tells things like it is, and has some pretty good stories too. When he gives you feedback on an assignment pay attention to it because it helps alot. By far one of the best profs I have had in my first 2 years of University.

Marks good****

Despite a tremendous workload and demands from Mark, this class was one of the most valuable I have ever taken. Mark is professional yet approachable and down to earth. His teaching style leads to experiential learning and deepens our understanding of course material. His combination of lecture, guest speakers and student presentations was great

FUNNY GUY

Mark is a "down to earth" who has many interesting stories and opinions. I really enjoyed his class because it was very different from my regular classes. I hope I get another opportunity to take another one of his classes. Rumour has it he teaches a communication class in the MBA program. ROCK ON MARK!!

awesome prof! made you want to come to class. he treats his students like adults which is refreshing. talks with you not to you.

He's a little scary sometimes, but entertaining.

definitly moody hahaha

i really liked his style of teaching, he gets along with most students. but his classes are tough and have alot of little projects, with one or two major ones. not a walk in the park, but a great teacher. i'm glad i took his class, he pushes students to do there best. he's also got a sense of humor and can accommodate students. thanks mark!!

He's awesome, fun, engaging, and the work load is just challenging enough to keep you interested but not enough to stress you out.

One of the nicest profs you will ever meet who really cares about his students. Want a prof and a friend, take Wallin.

A great prof! Half the things he says I feel like I need to look up in a dictionary but at least he inspires me to learn and actually speak at a 4th year level! An amazing prof with a huge amount of knowledge at his disposal. Always entertaining and unorthodox.

Really comical which is refreshing. Sometimes preaches to advanced students in class and makes it difficult for the rest of the students to follow. Overall really amiable and a fair marker.

I. Love. Mark. It was a 3 hr class and I was never bored. The workload was decent but not too heavy. He can make jokes and be your friend but he can still teach you at the same time. I highly recommend him! If you show up + do work it's an easy A for sure.

Great teacher. Doesn't play favorites, treats his students equally and cares about his students well-being. Workload was just right and inspires students to use their creativity. I highly recommend his classes

Gotta laugh at the "Mark is terrible & mean" comment. Absolutely ludicrous! Mark is such an awesome prof. Engaging and passionate about everything he teaches and especially his students. This guy is one of a kind. An even better person than he is a teacher...if thats possibly. Can't say enough good things about him & his teaching.

Mark is awesome. I really wish I had the opportunity to take more of his classes. If you're looking to skip class, do minimal work and breeze through Uni w/o learning anything of value, Mark is NOT the prof for you. Mark can be tough but he's respectful and approachable and wants you to succeed. He uses lots of varied material which is refreshing!

Mark Wallin is a very respected and highly rated teacher. He always strives to be hilarious in his lectures and always uses past incidents in his life to make the class more entertaining. However, He takes years to mark your work. Hand in an assignment 2 months ago? good luck getting it marked. Also, a tough grader in my opinion.

Mark Wallin is the head of my Communications and Public Relations Program, and I really respect him as an instructor, program coordinator, and a person. I'm honestly not sure why he has so many bad ratings? Mark expects a high level of quality work done in any of his classes. Put in effort with him, and you will see the results. Great professor!

Mark Wallin is one of the few professors at TRU I actually look forward to having classes with. Mark is hilarious, smart, and he really gives you a lot of freedom with the assignments he gives out. Slack off in his class and put in poor effort? Then you will barely pass his course. Put in effort and participate; you will get a great mark.

Skip class and put in poor effort on assignments? You will have a horrible experience in Marks class. Mark really respects students who show up to class and put in effort on all of the assignments. Participate in his lectures and get involved, you will benefit with participation marks too. His lectures can be long and sometimes off topic, though.

Mark Wallin is a solid choice, and I would recommend him to anyone. Mark is a great lecturer, very passionate about what he teaches, and very considerate to students who put in a lot of effort. I found the classmates that skipped class and put in poor effort on assignments were the only students who complained. Awesome guy.

This was the first class I have ever taken with Mark Wallin, and I didn't mind his class at all. I took his class as an upper level elective, so I wasn't sure how he was going to teach a film class with lectures. The work load was a lot, considering it was an elective class for a lot of people. But, I wish he handed back papers in a timely manner.

I really enjoyed the film noir course that Mark Wallin taught in the winter semester (2017). Marks lectures were excellent, entertaining, and very informative! I definitely would take another class with Mark in the future. Although Mark is a hard marker, he is really fair and understanding if you talk to him about any issues you have. Recommend!

Mark is unique professor, who can keep an entires class attention during his lectures, something most professors struggle to do. I learned a lot in his class, but be prepared to put in a lot of effort and time into your assignments. I really enjoyed how easy it was book appointments and get email responses back from him in a timely manner, too.

Mark is unique professor, who can keep an entire classes attention during his lectures, something most professors struggle to do. I learned a lot in his class, but be prepared to put in a lot of effort and time into your assignments. I really enjoyed how easy it was book appointments and get email responses back from him in a timely manner, too.

Mark is a really good professor, and I always enjoy his lectures. It has been mentioned here many times before, but you have to stay on top of his workload. Mark gives out a lot of readings and assignments, and it can be very easy to fall back in his course. His instructions can be broad, but he really encourages new ideas for his assignments.

I really like Mark as a prof. He is an engaging lecturer, one of the best I have had at TRU. Despite this, he gives minimal feedback on assignments which sucks, and he is a very slow marker. Also, in this class in particular he gave tons of difficult assignments which are only worth 10 percent each. I still liked this class and would recommend him

I like Mark, and he is definitely a solid choice as a professor. But, be prepared to spend a lot of time on his assignments, since he gives out a lot over the course of a semester. Mark gives good feedback on assignments, but it takes forever to get your grades (as mentioned). I recommend office hours if you need help with any of his assignments.

I really like Mark a lot, but I find that his course content is way too broad. If you are an individual type student, you will excel in any of his classes. If you cannot figure out concepts on your own, and be able to come up with your own content, you will struggle mightily in his class. Be prepared, he gives out a lot of homework each week.

Mark is awesome, but MAN does he give a lot of assignments! For FILM4100 in particular, you have to watch upwards of 4 hours of TV shows and movies each week and write an essay on them EVERY WEEK, alongside some lengthy readings and other assignments. Mark is a generous marker and a good prof, but his classes are not a walk in the park.

One of the best professors I have ever had... Mark's lectures are engaging, entertaining, and extremely informative! Throughout my time at TRU, I can say that Mark is by far one of the best professors there. Even though he gives out a lot of homework and readings (stay on top..) compared to other profs, he appreciates students who put in effort.

Mark is definitely one of the best professors at TRU from my experience. However, if you are planning on taking a class with him, there are a few things you need to know. Be prepared for long lectures, making a lot of time for his class, and a ton of homework; weekly essays around 1000 words, and around a few hours of readings & videos to boot.

Mark is a really entertaining professor, and it's great to see how passionate he gets whenever he is teaching you. Be prepared, he gives out a lot of readings, papers, and homework in general. It wasn't uncommon to write over 1000 word weekly essays, along with a few hours of readings/videos. Learn to manager your time, or else you will be drowned.

Whenever I have the chance to take a FILM course with Mark, I always take it! His lectures are really informative and entertaining, and he really gives you a lot of free reign when it comes to assignments and projects. It has been mentioned that he gives out a lot of homework, which is true. If you manage the workload, you will enjoy his class.

Mark is clearly very passionate about what he does, probably the reason why his work ethic is unmatched at TRU, at least I think so personally. Do your work and always seek for his feedback, you will do fine in his class.

I loved Mark's film class so much! He is incredibly passionate and the lectures were so profoundly interesting, definitely excited to take more of his classes. The workload can feel like a lot (he assigned one paper a week) but taking some notes during the lectures made it easier for me, as well as reading the articles he assigned. Great prof!
