Marko is an amazing prof! There is nothing random in his marking. If you attend class and read the textbook, it is very self-explanatory. He is very clear in his expectations for the written component, and by following his instruction, it is not difficult to do really well. I will be taking more philosophy class in university thanks to this one!

I was genuinely excited to take a class with Marco initially because he was so well credentialed . However his instruction is very choppy and I got the vibe he's not really interested in helping students learn the material . There is gap between his tests and the content he is supposed to teach . I would not suggest taking a class with him , ever !
