Organic chem is tough no matter who you have but Marino made it less of a nightmare. Read the textbook, do the hw, and do his practice quizzes and you'll be fine on the tests. Definitely take him for CHE 112.
As a student who struggled with Chem all throughout highschool, taking it in my first semester and not being able to pass it was tough. I went into this class the next semester feeling scared, but Professor Marino made Chemistry enjoyable. He made it an easy course to pass and gave us everything we needed to pass. GREAT professor.
Struggled with Chem in high school and was concerned taking organic chem my first semester of college. Took this class at 7:30 in the morning yet it was enjoyable. Prof Marino is a genuinely nice person who really cares about his students and will go out of his way to help them. He makes it possible for anyone to pass and he's hilarious!
Take this professor without a doubt. He is absolutely amazing and provides you with every opportunity to succeed. He is actually interested and seems to enjoy his job unlike other professors. He simplifies organic chemistry and provides you with everything you need to succeed. He's a young and new professor and he's doing a great job! GO MARINO!!!
GREAT professor! He cares about his students and makes sure they understand the material. Loved his class! He gives practice questions and they help when taking exams. He's funny and makes the class interesting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
Great professor! Even though this class was extremely early it was worth it. He makes the class interesting and fun. He gives practice quizzes for each chapter to help prepare you for the exams. Study the slides and do the homework/practice quizzes and you will do great! I would definitly recommend taking him for organic chemistry!
Greatest class ever.
If you have to take chemistry this is the guy for you. He could get a 3rd grader to understand organic chemistry. love this guy, he rocks, rules, and then some lol. seriously take him, nuff said.
Awesome Professor!! Professor Marino is an amazing professor, he truly cares about his students. He really knows how to simplify organic chemistry and understands it's not the easiest subject to learn but he will help you succeed. He has the best qualities every professor should have.
This professor just wants to help his students out and see them succeed. He'll work with you to get a good grade!
Great professor, goes out of his way to make sure he sets his students up to do well, the rest is up to the student. I definitely studied a lot for this course, but chemistry was always difficult for me personally... Would definitely take Marino again if I had the opportunity.
Professor Marino was great. Straightforward, he teaches you exactly what you need to know. If you do the practice questions and the practice quizzes to make sure you understand the material, you should be fine. He made me love organic chemistry and he doesn't waste your time. Going to class is definitely important. Looks young, but knows his stuff.
was one of the best professors i've ever had. if you pay attention and study his slides you will do fine in the class. most interesting a professor can make a organic chemistry class. he's funny, super helpful and wants everyone to do the best possible. he is very clear and goes over everything in much detail. take his class!
makes chem easy to understand and is really funny. do the homework, and the practice quizzes and you will be fine. study hard tho!!
Chem 112 will be a breeze if you take Prof. Marino. He gives you practice quizzes and home works from the textbook and that will help you for your tests and understand what's going on in class. Make sure you study really hard and show up to class.
Prof. Marino is by far the BEST chem teacher at Molloy. He looks young but he's brilliant and really funny. Exams are really tough but he's great at getting you to understand everything. Do the practice quizzes and HW and study hard. Loved this guy.
This was a tough course for me but professor Marino was great. He goes above and beyond to make sure you understand. He is hilarious and makes chemistry kind of fun. He's very easy to talk to when you're not getting something from the notes. Just go to class, ask questions, do the practice quizzes and HWs and you'll do good. Marino was awesome.
He made organic chem so tolerable. He teaches in a way that is easy to follow and simple and gives practice tests before the major exams. All his tests are EXTREMELY FAIR. It's important to come to class because his lectures simplify the notes. He's quirky, goofy, and will do whatever he can to help you do well in his class. I highly recommend him!
He looks young, but don't let that fool you. He's respected by his students. He gives great lectures, and make a difficult course seem easy. I got a B in the class but I'm not the best test taker. His tests are VERY fair- off of the quizzes, and power points/practice questions. Just practice! He's always there to support, and responds to emails
If u dnt get something he doesnt make u feel stupid & explains until u do. if u go home & have questions hes available by email, loves to help. Do HW, practice quizzes & go to class youll do great. There no surprises he wants u to do good. He explains everything so well, thought i was going to fail this class when i signed up & did great! Loved him
He was by far the best college professor I have had. He is to the point with material, and wants his students to do well. You can reach him at all times and he always replies quickly. It is rare to find a professor that actually responds to emails. I have never been more confident taking an exam, he is truly a brilliant man and an excellent teacher
I just took professor Marino over the summer for Chem 112 and I must say there is no other teacher for Chem then him. For the simple fact that I never took Chem before ever in my life his teaching ability is insane. I walked out everyday understanding his material. If not he will be there for as long as you need. Honestly he is just awesome.
Take his class! I was super nervous about this class because I'm just not that good at science but he really breaks down the material and makes sure his students understand what he is teaching. There are a few tests and a cumulative final. I wish he would teach more courses because I would definitely take a class with him again!
Take him for Chem!!! He is by far the greatest prof ever!!! His teaching ethics are great and if i wasn't for him i wouldn't have passed! He really wants to help you out and see you pass and succeed. Do his homework assignments and all of his practice quizzes and review sheets! Gives you all the things you need! Tests are tricky
Professor Marino was awesome! I had taken chemistry twice before and marginally passed - therefor I had to take it again. He really breaks everything down. Gives practice quizzes which are just like questions from the exams. As long as you pay attention and do the work, the class is an easy A. I would totally take him again for another class.
Professor Marino was the greatest professor. Chemistry was really hard for me. I'm not a math person. But Marino helped me get more confident and help me pass chemistry. He's easy to reach by email and always tries to help you out. He's amazing. Try to get him for both lecture and lab. He's also hilarious. Make sure to take him.
Fun lectures, breaks it down, silly and inspirational! Got an A- and would take again! I also had a great tutor! Use PowerPoints and the book to study and do the homework. My tutor helped a lot as well, sign up for tutoring it's already paid for in the tuition and they're very skilled. I recommend Oscar.
proffesor Marino is one the best professor I have had so far. He is not an easy A but he teaches so well that it seems like it.
Marino was my favorite professor. He was caring and really funny in class. Always answers emails very quickly. His tests are tough but if you pay attention and do the HW you'll do fine. Try to get him for both lecture and lab because he's great in lab. He made chemistry less painful. I loved professor Marino. He was great!!!!
Gives great lecture. Test is not so difficult. Everything is from his notes and study guides. He is an approachable person.
Professor marino is probably the best professor I will have at molloy. Organic chemistry is VERY hard, but he does everything he can to try and make you pass. He explains everything so well and does not stop until you understand it. He is so funny and adorable and I wish I could have him as a professor forever!! TAKE HIM!!!!!!!
Prof. Marino is easily one of the best professors I've ever had. Chemistry is not an easy subject but he makes it a breeze. He's is hilarious and super helpful even outside of class. He clearly states what is on each test and will also give you extra questions over email if your struggling. It would be a mistake not to take him!!! TAKE HIM!!!!
Prof. Marino really cares about his students knowing the topics and he is always there if you need help outside of class. He answers emails quickly and doesn't mind doing extra work if it benefits his students. Chem isn't an easy subject, but with this professor you will learn as long as you put in the work. He surprisingly makes chem enjoyable.
Prof. Marino is a great guy and he's funny. Organic chemistry is really hard but he teaches really well. If you have to take this class then take him. Tests are based on the notes and other stuff he gives. He made chemistry bearable and got me to pass!
Prof. Marino was the best professor I had in college. He was so caring and really wanted all his students to do well. He talked to you and not at you. He was very easy to reach out of class and responded to emails very quick. He made an impossible class possible. And he was hysterical. I loved Marino!!!!!
Professor Marino is THE BEST professor! He made learning chemistry very easy to understand and fun. Everything you learn in class is on the test and he tells you exactly what to focus on, no surprises. He is HILARIOUS. He really cares for his students and loves what he does.
Professor Marino is hands down the best teacher you can take for chemistry. Chemistry has always been my most difficult class but he really made me understand it. Homeworks are optional, labs help boost your grade and he's such a caring and amazing professor. I HIGHLY recommend him.
Prof. Marino is chill. He's the best professor for chemistry. Makes a tough class easier to handle. Tests are tricky but he's the best. Highly recommend!!!
If you hate chem, he'll make you understand it and love it!!! Don't expect his tests to be easy, study details bc they will be on the test! follow his power points throughout the lecture so you will know what to focus on for the test. Very approachable and caring and has the biggest heart!!!
This professor is absolutely amazing. I would recommend taking him to ANYONE. Helps you each class to make sure you understand the material, and is available 24/7 outside of the classroom and answers emails within minutes. if you don't take him, you are really missing out.
He's very outgoing and really helps out each and every student. If you ever need help with problems or example problems for tests or even comments on lab reports to get a better grade he will respond, quickly and efficiently. He makes chem easier to understand and a fun experience ! Would definitely take him again.
Professor Marino, in my opinion, is an amazing professor. He really explains the material in every way possible. He also gives you extra practice problems on canvas, and will always be happy to give you any extra help outside of class. I would deffinetly take him again, great in lecture and lab!
He is hands down the best professor I've ever had. (and i already have a bachelor's degree) My only concern is that every professor i have from here on out at Molloy will be a disappointment. They have a lot to live up to! The most caring, understanding teacher. He makes the content bearable. He is also lenient when it comes to lab extensions.
He is a great professor. Makes class a fun, learning experience with his funny jokes. He never fails to help a student out and is understandable with work. He is funny, caring, and understandable. Make sure you attend class, study and do work, he grades hard. He does explain and demonstrates lessons really well and he's encouraging. "Stay Awesome"
I have a BA but the last time I took chemistry was in HS 7 years ago. Came in really afraid but now leaving the course feeling like I've ACTUALLY learned something and I like chem now! He's so great that I didn't even need to take general chem to understand the content. Don't take anybody else. Hands down the best professor I've ever had.
Honestly is the best professor I may have ever had. He is very smart and makes a difficult class super easy. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have had him as a professor. You're truly missing out if you don't take him. He is funny and makes the material super clear and understandable. I wish I could have him for every course at Molloy.
He's pretty easy to understand and he's really good with explaining things that are hard to get. He will always have time to sit down and talk to you if you need. He's a younger teacher so he gets it and he'll do his best to pass you as long as you do your part.
Best professor I have had at Molloy! He is a real Gem. It is very hard to find professors that care about their students the way Mr. Marino does. He makes the material very clear and easy to understand. Very accessible and if requested will update you about your grades and progression. Very easy to access. He is the only reason i passed chemistry!
I had Professor Marino for both lecture and lab and my experience was such an amazing one. His exams are straightforward (no tricky questions). His lectures are self explanatory. If you pay attention to the power-point and his extra notes, passing this class is guaranteed. Take him!!! He is amazing and hilarious!!! Very knowledgeable as well.
Such an amazing professor. He really cares about students and helps you out in many ways. This isn't an easy class so you have to study a lot, and put in the effort. His exams aren't easy. He's also amazing in lab. I've always had trouble with school and he teaches so well. He's easy to understand. He also gives homework to help you out. Take him!
Truly a gifted Professor. Molloy is very lucky to have him. Hopefully they keep him around, but he may go to other Universities, cause he is truly a gifted Professor/ Teacher. If you are fortunate enough to have the option of taking his class, do so or you're missing out.
Professor Marino is a FANTASTIC teacher!!!! I took his class over the summer and it was great. He really helps you to succeed by going above and beyond to make sure you have every resource possible. He is very clear with his expectations and what will be on the exams. I would 100% recommend you take this class with him.
Took him for a four week summer class. Didn't know how I was going to swing working full time and this class, but he made it easy! He gives you all resources you would need online and is very straight forward when it comes to tests. He is very funny and entertaining. One of the best professors I've ever had, and I already have a Bachelors degree.
Marino is one of the best teachers I have had at molloy. I took him for organic chemistry. Although the class material is extremely hard, his positive attitude kept me going. He explains everything really well and truly cares about his students. Take him and you will not regret it

I love him!! He makes the class easy. The lectures are very clear and makes the material simple and easy to learn. In lad he is very good too. finish the lab and you can leave. He gives homework but also gives you the answer key. Honestly would take him again for anything.
Tries to make the class fun and enjoyable. Really good at explaining the material and makes sure that all questions are answered and understood before moving onto the next topic. Most definitely would recommend to other students.
Professor Marino is by far my favorite college professor so far. He is young, not bad looking and he's so funny. He is very good at what he does. He goes through every little thing and it extremely open to questions. The material is really difficult but he makes it easier to understand. He also repeats things many times to make sure you understand
He is such a great professor. would definitely take him again. Go to his office hours well help you a lot. do all the practice work he gives you.
Take him. 2nd exam is the hardest. Do the practice exams and you will pass. Clear grading criteria and exams straight forward. Drops one lab, so you can miss one and be fine. He drops lowest exam grade and counts final twice. You don't need to buy the book. He post all his notes and practice exams. Again, do practice exams. Good luck!
The class is really enjoyable. I was nervous before the semester started because I did not do well in general chem in hs, but I felt like I really understood the subject He gives you homework problems from the textbook as well as practice quizzes, both which help with studying for the test.
Professor Marino was an amazing professor! He genuinely cares about his students and is hilarious in lecture. He makes lectures and labs enjoyable and makes the material easier than it is. He reviews everything on exams and is a very fair test grader. I recommend him to everyone who is taking this class, you will not regret it.
By far my favorite professor! I love going to his lectures and labs. He's such a nice guy who wants you to succeed in the class and gives so much practice work to help you do well on the exams. Most chem professors are very boring but i find marinos class to be very enjoyable! TAKE MARINO, HE IS THE BEST!!
The class itself is difficult but Marino teaches it extremely well. He is extremely helpful and will help you in the best way he possibly can. I was not very good at chemistry but he tried his best to make sure I got the most help and best understanding in each topic. If you get the chance to take him I suggest you do.
Professor Marino is the best teacher I've ever had throughout my entire life. While organic chemistry is a hard class in general, he gives amazing explanations and notes and many opportunities to help you achieve a good grade. He is extremely approachable, super funny, and genuinely cares about his students and helping them truly learn and succeed.
Professor Marino is truly one of the best teachers I have ever had. He makes going to class fun and something to look forward too especially in his labs.

professor marino made chemistry truly enjoyable. he made a hard course understandable and provided more than enough resources to not only pass the course but excel. professor marino made himself accessible to answer any questions and would provide practice questions whenever asked. i would highly recommend taking him.
Took this professor for che112 . I haven't taken a chem class in 7 years and this professor is able to deliver information to his students during lecture that is clear and concise. He gives you a lot of elective practice problems and homework which helps prepare his students for his exams. I would recommend this professor to any of my peers.
Professor Marino was my favorite teacher this year. His lectures are very thorough and he makes sure to prepare you for the tests by putting practice quizzes online along with extra practice problems from the text book. Only get textbook if you want the extra practice. He is so funny and really makes chem enjoyable. Im going to miss him next year.
The best chem teacher in the world. If you don't know anything about chem or hate it with a passion, hes the teacher to take. He has a way that makes chem fun and makes you look forward to next class. hes super approachable and will do anything to help his students succeed. There's no words to describe how great of a teacher he is.
Professor Marino has been one of the best teachers I ever had in my life. He will take time to listen to your questions and makes sure the students are clear before he goes forward. His test are straightfoward and he prepares students a lot by noting what information to focus on and not. He is a funny man as well and makes lectures more interesting
Marino was the best professor I've had at Molloy so far. The guy is great. As someone who failed chem their freshman year and was under the gun for passing this semester, Marino was definitely the best choice. His lectures are clear and to the point. He is on your side and gives you so many chances to succeed. 10/10 would recommend
You absolutely NEED to take him especially if chemistry is your weak subject. It is unbelievable how clearly he teaches and made EVERYTHING make sense. I never thought I would ever understand this course and it's actually my highest grade right now leaving this semester. I never write reviews on here but I had to for Marino because he IS THE BEST!!
Professor Marino is an amazing teacher. The lectures are amazing and full of information. Chemistry is difficult and if you are worried about doing well definitely take him. There is plenty of practice problems on canvas but if you need more he is always just an email away to send you more. I would highly recommend taking him.
Honestly the greatest teacher ever!!! He's so good i recommend for anyone to talk him honestly !! I wish I could! He's funny know hows to break the nice answers all any emails! He's there to help you in any way he's so sweet!!! So many practice problems and test to take and to help you pass. He is honestly the best and he is an eagle's fan!!!!
Lectures are great he really likes to make them interesting. He definitely likes to throw in some dad jokes but dad jokes are the best! Chem's never an easy A but he makes it possible because he gives a lot of practice questions, and opportunities to ask questions. The lab reports are long but not too difficult. He's also very adorable!
AMAZING professor!! chem is not my best subject at all but he makes getting a good grade so easy! hes willing to meet with students after class and answers emails to students questions very quickly. his tests are very straight forward and gives a bunch of partial credit. nicest professor ever!

He is always available to help and responds to emails quickly . He gives plenty of material to help prepare for all the exams! DEFINITELY TAKE HIM FOR ORGO
Professor Marino is an amazing professor. He gives 3 tests and a final but he will replace your lowest test grade with the final grade if you do better on that. Homework is optional and he gives a lot of questions to practice with for the tests (also optional). You can email him anytime and he will respond quickly. Would definitely take again!

Professor Marino is amazing. He really wants you to do well in his class and gives you all the material necessary to do so. You definitely have to study but he is super helpful and if you have any questions he always emails you back. DEFINITELY TAKE HIS CLASS!
Professor Marino genuinely cares about the success of his students and will help in any way possible: he sends extra practice problems for tests when asked, he responds to emails instantly, and he gives everything you need. Though chemistry is generally difficult, he dumbs it down and gives you ways to easily remember things.
He was such an amazing professor, was always quickly responsive and provided so many recourses for extra practice. He made organic & biochem (a scary sounding subject) super fun & if I could, I would give him a million hot chili peppers & 5 stars. Take him!!!!! He will go far as a professor
I would not have pass organic chemistry with any other professor. If I had a question before the test he was always available by email. If I needed extra practice on a specific topic he would send me extra practice problems.
You would think organic chemistry would be hard, but that is not the case with Professor Marino. If you do the practice quizzes and pay attention in class you will do just fine. If you get the chance, definitely take him!!!!!
Professor Marino was incredible! I would love to take him again! There were 3 exams and a cumulative final. He gave practice questions and practice quizzes after every unit. These were very helpful to prepare for the exams. You definitely need to study, but he specifys what to study. Marino made Chem enjoyable & offers to help you on his free time.
i love marino he is a great teacher and a great person overall. he really wants his students to learn and know the material. hes a true gem and i could sit in his class forever, i wish i could take him again
Professor Marino is an amazing teacher. He cares about his students. He makes a hard class very easy. If you put in the work for this class you will earn an A.
Marino is the best teacher I have ever have! He really cares about his students and the grades that they receive, if you attend class and listen the test are easy! Would def take again!!
This professor does a great job explaining course materials. If you have difficulties with material he can always be reached for clarification. He responded to emails promptly and clearly. He makes it almost impossible to fail. However, don't take him for granted, you have to put the work in to get the grade you desire.
One of those professors that should teach other professors how to teach. Actually CARES about his students. Lab was also so fun
My FAVORITE professor of all time. He makes organic chemistry stress free and enjoyable. If you need to take organic chem I definitely recommend him. He teaches everything so clear and is extremely straight forward on the notes and exams. He gives you a study guide and posts extra questions to help you prepare. Hes really funny, take him!!!!
Professor Marino is top notch. Excellent teacher and makes the material bareable and very clear to understand. His lab is also absolutely amazing, if you ever need extra time on something, ask him in advance and he will be glad to work something out.
Professor Marino is the best professor I have ever had. Everyone says organic chem is hard and I dont blame them but professor Marino really makes it hard for you to fail. Great lectures, awesome personality, overall great person. Recommend him to anyone who has to take chem.
I have got to say, when I took regular Chem I didnt think I would even be able to balance reactions and for some reason I ended up in organic and inorganic chem with him and Im killing it. He appeals to all learners: visual learners, audio learners, those who learn with videos, diagrams, pictures, etc. Love him and would take him all over again
The best!! Make sure you get the textbook. He doesn't check or collect the textbook homework but the textbook is extremely helpful when it comes to studying for the exam.
TAKE HIM! He is the BEST professor at Molloy College. He truly cares about his students. He remembers all of his students' names and creates an amazing relationship. His lecture is very funny and efficient. He also talks about his exepreicens and funny stories so that we don't get bored. MUST TAKE HIM!
Prof Marino is the best teacher at Molloy. He is insanely caring and knowledgable. He will continue to help his students until he knows that we are 100% understanding. He is a great person and it made me excited to attend class. I wish I could take him for every class.
Great professor and really cares how his students do.
Professor Marino is a very easy professor! I had him for my CHEM 112 course and he will be the best professor to take! He doesn't skip any subject within the course until everyone fully understands it! Very easy going guy as well as funny! Also answers emails back minuites later! If you get the chance to take him, TAKE HIM!! He's the best!

Funny, smart, easy going, so incredibly helpful. He really wants everyone to do their absolute best. He gives you so many tools to help you succeed in his class. he's very thorough in class, has many practice problems and tests available, and is more than willing to work with you one on one. You don't get better than him in Chem.
Dr. Marino is the best professor I've had at Molloy. He makes learning chem easy and fun. He makes himself VERY accessible outside of class and answers emails promptly. He wants all his students to succeed. Tests are very straight-forward, do the practice tests they'll help a TON. You NEED to take him for organic and bio chem!
Dr. Marino is the best professor I've had at Molloy and all of my school career. He has the best lectures because he makes it fun and easy. He is extremely helpful when studying for tests, he will answer your messages in a snap and provide handwritten problems. He wants everyone to succeed and will provide all the necessary info to do that.
hands down the best teacher you will ever have, if you dont take him, what are you doing?
Molloy College should honestly have more teachers like him. He is very nice and funny. Was so scared for chemistry but he gives so much practice, you'll be more than enough prepared for the tests. Obviously chemistry requires studying, so if you think you're going to get an A without studying, good luck. Email him for practice questions for tests.
He is the best teacher you could have!! So nice and funny, always available for extra help and will send practice questions if you email him. Makes a hard class manageable and fun :)
I had Professor Marino for FST. He's so funny and caring, overall a great professor. He's very quick in responding to emails. He wants everyone to succeed.
Dr. mike is the best!!!!! chem is really hard but he simplifies it and makes him self accessible out of class. he makes a review sheet for every chapter and his tests are straight forward and fair, but you still need to put the effort into understanding the material. take him you won't regret it.
Professor Marino is a wonderful professor. Great chemistry professor and I would absolutely take him again. He is very understanding and willing to help out. Never hold back with questions or concerns because he will help guide you along the way.
Dr. Marino was the best professor. Better than any other professor Ive ever had. He tells it like it is and lets you know exactly what to study for. Love you Dr. M
Honestly a blessing. Wish he was my professor for every subject. TAKE HIM, YOU WILL NOT REGRET!!!!!!
Hands down one of the best professors I've had at Molloy. If you're unsure about taking chemistry, take his class.
Dr. Mike is the best professor at Molloy. Definitely makes you work for it but he is an amazing professor. Take him at all costs!
He truly cares about his students. Recommend his class to those who actually want to understand the material and not just struggle to memorize.
Dr. Marino will help you learn chemistry like not other professor. He will take the time one on one with you to help you understand the material. His lectures are easy to understand whether youre a visual, audio, lecture learner. Take him at all costs, you will not regret it!!
love him! by far the only professor I found to be easy to learn from. he's caring and always puts a smile on someones face. In his FST class, he sometimes goes off topic and asks his students if there's anything they want to talk about, school and non-school related. he's awesome and he'll make sure of it! He has an awkward approach, but he's great
Dr. Marino is one of the nicest teachers I've ever had. He is always happy to help you and answer questions. For every chapter he gives a bunch of practice questions which will ensure you understand the topic and do good on the exam! He's also super funny and makes chemistry class fun. The exams are fair and similar to the practice questions!
Dr. Marino is hands down the best professor Ive ever had! Only had him for lab but if you can get him for lecture take him!! He helped review for my lecture exam and made me understand more from him than my other professor. He is truly the most caring man in the world! Lab write ups are annoying but easy A if you do them thoroughly.
I am a nursing major and I took Dr. Marino for organic chem I have always struggled in chem until I got him. His office is always open and he answers emails within minutes. I would go to his office once a week to review what I learned in class and emailed him with questions. He makes sure all of his students are doing ok and finds ways to help us.
He's an amazing teacher who really cares for his students. When asked a question multiple times, he never gets frustrated, just explains it over until we get it. He asked us the first day of classes the best way for us to learn, and he's really hands on when it comes to really learning. A perfect example fo a passionate teacher who really cares.
This was the best professor for chem. He is one of the best teachers I've ever had and if you have the chance to take him, take him. He is the best and so hilarious! Really helps you to understand the material rather than just learn it and forget it. A fantastic teacher!
Dr. Marino is the ABSOLUTE BEST professor I have ever had at Molloy. He always checks in on you and makes sure you fully understand the material. He is very accessible outside of class and answers right away. HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. MARINO.
Dr. Marino is it the best professor I had! He makes chem fun and simple. He cares about each student and offers to help in any way possible with studying. I would definitely take him again!
Dr. Marino is a true goat, no words could possibly describe this man. He's interesting with great stories to connect to chem, and very interactive on zoom. Very fun & detailed in lab; be thankful if you have him in both lecture & lab. If it weren't for him, college orgo wouldn't be a breeze. Workload is doable, he is a gift from heaven. TAKE HIM!!!
DR. MARINO IS THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER! As someone who almost failed high school chemistry and was absolutely dreading having to take it in college, I was beyond relieved. He genuinely cares about all of his students and wants them to succeed. The class was asynchronous and online, and he spent hours making lecture videos that explained everything.
I always struggled with chem and was nervous when I had to take it for the nursing program. Dr. Marino is one of the best professors I have ever had and is so caring and helpful.
One of the best Professors here. Makes Chem less difficult, really interesting and funny, has a great sense of humor and jokes. Gave us more than enough time for tests/ quizzes, and made them all multiple choice. Emails back fast. Explains well and gives you additional resources/ links to videos to succeed. Really wants everyone to do well.
He is the best. I had previously failed chemistry and didn't understand it at all but when I took him he made it so easy. He is so sweet and caring. If you can take him please your guaranteed to pass as long as you pay attention. He even replaced our lowest test grade with our final grade.
Dr. Marino is great! I had him for FST my freshman year at the peak of the pandemic in the fall of 2020. He followed the guidelines but had fun discussions instead of boring lectures. He was very helpful in finding resources to help me succeed in my other classes and I wish I could have had him for chemistry. Take him for anything you can!
Dr Marino is THE BESTTTTT a real gem. He genuinely cares about his students understanding the material and will go out of his way to help out in anyway. Gives over 200 practices questions and quizzes and will record himself teaching the chapters again for us great guy
He is the best professor I have ever had. He is so funny and honestly makes you understand every thing he teaches. I am so grateful for the bond I have created with Doctor Marino. His lecture is so enjoyable and I am so grateful to succeed in his class because it goes to show you how an amazing professor he is. I wish every professor was like this.
Dr. Marino is by far the best professor I have ever had. He actually cares about you and your grades and will give all his time to help you. He cracks a lot of jokes which eases the tension that chemistry may give off and he teaches incredibly well. I would recommend everyone to take his class if you can, the Marino experience is worth it!
I have nothing bad to say about Dr. Marino. If someone fails, it's simply because they aren't trying. He is great!
LITERALLY THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! If u have Marino, you're beyond lucky. This man is SO caring, gives such good feedback and is easy to reach. He makes class so fun and clearly cares about his job. He knows what he's talking about and it's reflected in his teaching. One of the only professors I can truly call a friend. Take him at all costs!!
Dr. Marino is by far the best professor I have ever had. He is so understanding and sweet. He also understands if you are sometimes overwhelmed with other things or need some extra time to hand in the lab reports. He's willing to meet outside of class to help you out. He's willing to go out of his way to help you out possible, he's simply the best!
He is the best professor anyone could ever ask for !! Extremely caring and goes the extra mile for his students. I had a class during office hours and he would always make extra time for me. He is WAY MORE than fair and gives extra credit. If you put the effort into the class, youll receive an A. Make sure to take notes. Thank you Dr. Marino !!!!!
Marino is by far the best professor I had this semester. He is extremely caring offered any help you may need. He is also very funny and makes his lectures very engaging and easy to understand. He makes time for review sessions before tests and encourages us to do our best. Ive struggled with chem since high school but Marino helped tremendously.
Absolutely loved Dr. Marino even tho I didn't have him for chem he was so helpful when I didn't understand my own chem homework and answered any questions I had. He's such a kind and funny person. AMAZING teacher overall.
He truly is the reason I am not failing chem! He makes videos of him going in depth of the powerpoint which is so helpful to watch before his tests. You definitely need to study and put the work in but he makes organic chemistry so much easier and really cares for all of his students and is so understanding.
Dr. Marino is by far the best professor, he made chem so much clearer and was always willing to do anything to help his students. He's super understanding about almost every situation. Always willing to hear what the students want as for test, dates, zoom, etc. Take him!!!
GOATED. Take if you get a chance. Lectures are light-hearted with jokes here and there, but it's easy to follow and there are lots of resources included with assignments and test prep.
Dr. Marino is an amazing professor. Really cares about your grade and wants you to understand lecture and lab. You HAVE to study because duh chemistry isn't easy, but he really makes the lecture understandable. He'll go over a question a million times before he lets you leave confused. He made a class I was dreading, a class that I got a B in. Lit
Professor Marino has amazing energy!! As a previous Bio student, I can say he makes things very flowy & easy going. He's considerate of everyone's situations but you will have to advocate for yourself when it comes to your needs. Go to his office hours with questions for either lecture or lab. He drops MANY practice problems its extremely helpful.
MARINO IS THE GOAT FR. Never had a professor who cared about my grade more than him. The fact that he makes hard topics so easy is truly a gift. gives a ton of resources to help study and ALWAYS responds to emails. you can tell he loves what he does and tries to pass all of his knowledge to his students. love this guy
Professor Marino has a lot of resources to score high on his exams but organic chemistry is very hard. He isn't very leniet and the grading of the class is on the four exams.
Very nice guy. His classes were okay. PowerPoints are meant as a guide for practice problems - so do the practice problems. Test questions are often harder than quiz questions. Questions are worth lots of points. It is up to you to put in the hard work.
DON"T TAKE HIM IF YOU ARE A TERRIBLE TEST TAKER!!!!! Organic Chem is very very hard and he isn't very straightforward with his tests.
Organic Chemistry is a very hard class but I recommend taking another professor. He teaches very good but his tests are way harder than his actual reviews and practice quizzes. He only grades on four exams but take him if you can keep up with workload.
GREAT PROFESSOR! Please take him! He makes Inorg chem a lot easier. Gives lots of resources to help. Very caring and understanding. He drops the lowest quiz and lab grade. Make sure to prepare for quizzes and exams, they count for a lot.
Hands down best professor, is beyond nice and makes his lectures fun and interesting. TAKE HIM.
ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING!! He gives plenty of study material and answers any questions asked. He is super caring and respectful. He is also a super quick grader so you always know where you stand in his class.
very easy and good teacher. gives good practice quizzes for testes
Dr. Marino is THE GOAT! He is the best. He cares, he has clear grading criteria, his tests are fair, and he is a great professor overall. I had him for Inorganic 1 and 2, I wouldn't want any other teacher. Great lectures and fun labs. Definitely recommend. Don't be mad just because you didn't put in the work.
Marino was the BEST! He drops your lowest quiz and homework grade. As long as you complete the homework you will get a 100. He provides you with a lot of material as long as you try you will do good.
love love love Dr. Marino. He always cared about each individual and took his time to learn each of our names. Drops the lowest quiz and test scores a
Dr Marino was absolutely amazing!! He truly cares about all of his students and makes sure that it is possible for everyone to do well in his class. There are three tests and then a cumulative final along with quizzes and homework's. He is also great at answering emails or going over any questions that you have after class.Definitely take his class
Professor Marino is an amazing professor who truly cares about all his students. All of his exams and assignments were fair and he made class fun. All of his lectures were extremely helpful and he makes such a hard topic easy to understand. He also has so many resources for his students. If I had the chance to take him again I would. Take him!!!!!!
Marino is easily the best professor I have had so far! He is super caring towards all of his students, and just wants them to succeed. He provides many resources to help prepare for the exams. There is also many opportunities to boost your grade if you don't do well on an exam.
DR. MARINO, BEST PROFESSOR AT MOLLOY!! A professor who actually cares about his students and is eager to help. This class isn't easy BUT IF YOU TRY YOUR BEST AND DO HIS PRACTICE PROBLEMS YOU'LL DEFINITELY SUCCEED. Also, gives extra grading opportunities so take advantage of them!! DEFINITELY TAKE HIM - A PROFESSOR WHO KNOWS HOW TO TEACH!.
I had him for Inorganic chem 1 and 2 and overall he is a wonderful professor who cares about what he does. He tries to make sure you do good in his class and is a very fair grader. He makes the lectures interesting and has a great sense of humor and he is also very accommodating. I would definitely have him as a professor again if possible.
BEST PROF! he is so kind and funny, not to mention he gives so many extra credit opportunities and uploads videos solving problems upon request. He also always provides outlines and weekly updates about the class, its so helpful. I transferred from NCC and can confidently say he's the best professor i have taken out of both schools I've attended!
Professor Marino makes a tough subject manageable. He provides ample resources and really cares about students' success. Using Unstuck AI alongside the textbook and lectures helped me ace this class.
Dr. Marino is a saint. He always tries his best in his lectures to ensure students leave content. He gives resources and practice problems and responds to questions via email usually within the hour. He's also lenient if you need an extension. Quizzes + exams are fair and organized. You can get an A in this class, I just didn't put in 100% effort.
Such a great professor please take him if you get the chance, makes things easy to understand and even has supplemental videos and practice quizzes on canvas. He also is very engaging and good at explaining things. Very nice and reasonable tests with extra credit, I can't stress this enough he might be the best professor at Molloy
AMAZING PROFESSOR! TAKE HIM OMG. He literally saved our class after our first professor got fired. He is so nice and funny and gives such clear lectures with extra resources to help, and he records lectures if you are absent or need it. He gives extra credit on exams, which are so reasonable especially if you study. Definitely my favorite prof !!
Dr. Marino is the best chem professor EVER. Nicest, funniest, sweetest, and chillest professor you'll ever meet. He makes chemistry easy to understand (coming from someone who almost failed high school chemistry) and fun. The homework is very easy and so are the exams. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you don't take class with him!!
