His lectures are SUPER boring, but he's a very nice guy that's there to help you if you need it. Passed with an A and I was zoned-out most of his classes. Homework is due every 2 weeks or so and he's a very easy grader. Somewhat strict on attendance so look out for that. Would take if you need an easy A.
His lectures and requirements are very unclear and he is hard to understand at times and takes his class very seriously. There are 4 tests and some quizes in between, a midterm and final paper/presentation, and participation really matters. He can be unclear and vague but he is a nice guy and very understanding too and is there to help when needed!
Hes a very nice professor. But he is very unorganized and no clear due dates when it comes to projects. His lectures can be extremely boring. He always gives tons of work at the end or the semester because he has been so far behind schedule.
I am wholehearted grateful for this semester's worth of lessons. Professor Marino's class was truly interesting experience, and I am highly appreciative of how often he included the analysis of studies as opposed to only the concepts involved as made classes beyond fascinating. He gives good advice, makes you want to work harder.
He is a good teacher. His classes might be so boring but you can pass it with an easy A. Textbook is required when doing homework. He also accepts late work, would recommend this teacher!
I am doing well in this class and really like his teaching style and would love to take more courses with him if possible.
Really good lay back and will let you hand in stuff late... there's no reason for you fail the class. He is a great guy !
I really appreciated the kindness Professor Marino showed me - words cannot describe how much that meant to me. I truly believe that that he is a terrific professor - and an even better person. His class has been a dream for me.
Professor Marino is an amazing professor! He is most of all extremely caring, quick to answer emails, and very lenient on grading and attendance. There is a heavy load of work which is expected for a college 200 level course, but it is Managable and he is lenient about late work homework either really short papers or q sheets Tests:multiple choice.
He is sooooo sweet. Review sheets are exactly like test. So nice, young and funny at times. I reallly like his teaching method. Easy A
Favorite professor by far. Very lenient with homework and tests, if you missed the due date he always gave you more opportunities to hand it in late. Gets you involved with the class, I was never comfortable speaking aloud and he made it a lot easier! Would definitely take his class again. Very nice teacher!
Hes a nice guy, just not the greatest teacher. He is lenient with class work, and most tests and quizzes are online. It's just very difficult to understand and grasp what is happening during lectures. He is not the best speaker with communication skills, so do not rely on him to learn anything, you will leave class knowing as much as you came in.
He is a great professor, very lenient with quizzes and tests. Gives you many opportunities to succeed.
Not A good teacher, made class awfully boring. He does not explain lessons well, and is awful with time management. Class ends at 3:00pm. He would be in the middle of a lesson at 3:02 PM, and with no closure, end the lesson randomly. He needs to better his time management and learn how to keep students interested into the lesson
An amazing teacher. One of my favorite classes by far. His lessons are unique and get you thinking. Excellent time management in my experience. He answered questions well and kept me and many others interested in the subject. I can't wait to take another psych class now!
I would absolutely recommend Professor Marino to anyone interested in psychology. Def one of my the best classes I've taken. His lectures really make you think and want to know more. Some topics were harder than I would have expected. No papers or essays. Review sheets for each exam really helped. The textbook was free which was a relief.
I wouldn't recommend him. This was my first time having him. The class seemed interesting but having him as a professor I couldn't understand anything or what was going on. Decent guy , but bad at lecturing and teaching
Best professor I've had so far. Instructions are super straight forward. Mr. Marino really makes you think. He was hands down the most helpful and knowledgeable Professor at RCC I've met.
Professor Marino rocks!! I wish I was able to take more of his classes, but the schedule just didn't fit. He made everything easy to understand, but not too simple that I would I have felt like I was wasting my time.
Amazing Professor, and great person! I highly recommend him.
Had to take the class for credit, but would not reccomend
The class seemed like it would be interesting and fun, and useful to take. Sadly, I left the class without gaining any knowledge on psychology. Not the greatest lecturer, made classes boring and not understandable. Disappointed because I looked forward to taking a psychology class
My favorite professor at RCC. The class was interesting. Topics I read for class always made more sense after his lectures. I truly think his teaching help me find a potential in me I didn't know I had.
Let me start by saying that I am a 4.0 student in college. Professor marino is a knowledgeable man but assigns an enormous amount of tests/quizzes and homework. He will be tough when grading and has confusing lectures. I have not learned anything since taking his class and would never take him again.
WORST PROFESSOR EVER. STAY AWAY!
By far the worst class I have ever taken. And this is because of the professor. I haven't learned one thing, he can not Express material properly to the students, and I felt I have wasted my tuition money on this class because i have gained no knowledge. VERY disappointed
I'm not one to usually use rate my professor, but when I took this class I want to give a heads up to the other students to not take this professor. The classes were long and boring, you will leave class learning absolutely nothing. Try to see if you can switch professors for a more interesting teacher who can keep your attention
Worst teacher I ever had
Professor Marino is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. He has truly changed my perspective on school. I have learned so much and can't wait to take another class of his again. 1 person found this useful 1 person did not fin
He da bomb!! What else he teach?
I haven't learned one thing, please avoid this professor if you are a psy major. You will not have gain any knowledge in your area
Mr. Marino is a very caring man. He truly cares about his students success and will work with you. The course course covered some a god amount of material but if you complete it all you will have no problem and it is all good overview. I would definitely take another class of his. He is such a great professor.
He is the most organized and expert teacher I've had so far. He has an answer for every question and is always will to take time to explain something or break it down so its simple and easier to understand. Blackboard is has all the information you need for his class- better than any other professor I've had so far.
Worst I ever had. I haven't learned anything. Please avoid taking this class by him. He assigns all quizzes and tests online, which is terrible because once you fail he will never go over or explain how your answer was incorrect and what you can do to improve
I recommend any class Mr. Marino teaches. He met with me whenever I asked to review anything I wasn't getting before and after exams. I had him for developmental and social psych. Classes that involved a bit of debate for me were always the best.
Such a great teacher. I had him for both an online and traditional. He gives very helpful feedback and tries hard to make a warm environment to participate in both in online and in the classroom. At times it was hard to keep up with the readings. Stay on top of the work with a steady study plan and you'll learn a lot and have fun doing so.
Not sure how he has great reviews when the class wasn't great. Quizzes and tests were heavy, and I haven't learned one thing. Maybe that student got an easy A, but for my whole class we discussed how we were disappointed and leaving with no knew knowledge or what was happening in class
It's a no for me
I gotta admit the class was harder I expected it would be at the start, but once I got into a flow it came easy to me. I really wasn't that much work compared to some of my other classes. What I learned helped me prepare better for my other classes too. Highly recommended Professor!
Highly recommended. Excellent instructor without a doubt. I will definitely take another class of his.
Hey psych majors, dont take this professor. It was so difficult to understand what was being presented in class, and I think it was a waste of tuition money for me as i have sadly learned nothing at all, please avoid this If you can
Worst class I have taken.
Most confusing class ever
This class was very boring and quiet, made me very sleepy and depressed. The professor has no passion or enthusiasm to what he teaches. I dont recommend taking his class, do whatever you can to avoid choosing this professor.
I'm usually browse more than I comment, but I feel very strongly to share that I had him for General Psychology and Social Psychology. Both classes were amazing. Lectures were always interesting. You always knew what was expected to get an A.
Great professor. Highly recommended for all majors, especially psych.
Excellent teacher. One of my favorites by far.
He's a good professor. He's funny and chill. Lots of assignments and quizzes but Easy A if you keep up and the tests and assignments are easy. He put the notes on blackboard so no textbook needed! I would reccomend 100%
Amazing professor and human. For me and some others taking his classes he was very flexible no matter what was going on outside of school. Highly recommended for anyone.
Love the way he teaches. You should definitely take his class if you have the chance.
Awesome professor. I would for sure take him again.
Very fair and enthusiastic. Loved him for developmental.
Best professor. I loved his class and teaching style.
Love him! Take any class with Professor Marino you'll enjoy it and learn a ton.
Prof. Marino is a great professor. He may be shy and quiet at first but that's just his personality. He lectures clearly and breaks concepts down if you have questions and will work with you after class if you need extra help. Text book is online, quizzes every week but it's an easy A if you work hard. Attendance is mandatory.
Professor Marino is a wonderful teacher! I Definitely recommend him!
I loved his online Social Psychology course. The information and experience were truly enlightening. The layout of assignments were interesting and understanding, with one assignment building upon the last. I hope to have a class to take another class of his again soon. He's one of the best!
I learned more in Mr. Marino's class than any other class. I didn't realize it right away but his teaching really made me a better student. Incredible teacher and even better person.
I really felt I deserved the A I received for Professor Marino's class. Other psych courses I've taken were too easy and so watered down they felt like a waste of time. If you really want to learn something he is the most solid choice. Believe me.
Professor Marino's class was lit! I wish more Professor's taught like him.
Please avoid if u can. You will dread coming to the class, and then leave gaining no knowledge. Waste of time & money to say the least.
I learned more from this class then any other psych class I've taken. I looked forward to every class. Totally worth every minute! I learned a ton. I was actually interested in what I read for a change.
He is one of the only professors I had that gave a damn. If you care about really learning something take him!
I so appreciated Professor Marino's style of teaching and kindness regarding redoing assignments and making up work I missed. Even when I wasn't ready for a pop quiz, he gave us the opportunity to take the quiz again as a take home. I wish more Professor's teach like him.
I learned so much, more than I thought I would. I highly recommend you take him. Easy grader.
Professor Marino's classes were fire!! Maybe I'm just all about that school life. I would take him again, but I'm transferring next semester. Peace!
Best professor I've had. For realz! Definitely take him if you can.
I'm about to find what else he teaches so I can take another class of his.
As I finished this course, I leave the way I came, no knowledge in the field. Every class felt like a waste of time as he would blabber on things no one knew what he was talking about. After every class, the classmates would meet up and complain about how we were left with no skills, abilities or knowledge in the field he was supposed to teach.
After his course, I feel I'm definitely ready to major in psych and explore more what the field has to offer. The discussions in class really helped me understand each reading. I can't speak for my classmates, but his course gave me more than enough skills, abilities or knowledge I would need by challenging me to think and study when I need.
Marino definitely knows what hes doing and his subject matter. He answered any questions and was always available to help and offered extra credit! My only issue with his online course is it was a very, very heavy course load. I struggled to stay caught up with all his quizzes, discussions and written assignments.
Marino has been far the most unorganized professor. I have never been more confused in a course in my life. Waste of money, if you take his class beware you will have to learn everything on your own with no professional guidance. He always called out and embarrassed his students as well.
This class was not his strong suit. He blabbed on about random things throughout class. It honestly was a waste of time and money. You are going to have to teach yourself the class because he has no idea what he is talking about. He's extremely disorganized and his children were in his classes a majority of the time and there was constant noise.
Professor Marino is awesome--his lectures are engaging and really captivating. He also really cares about his students and gives out many chances to raise your grade with extra help and extensions.
Great Professor. Highly recommend!
Best professor I ever had hands down.
Not gonna lie his class was informational, most of the work is easy as long as you know the material.
Such a great professor, truly. Take him if you have the chance.
Mr. Marino's classes are a blast and so informative. I learned more in his classes than any other class I've taken.
Professor Marino is single-handedly one of the best professors I've ever had. His explanations are great and he offers an online textbook to go along with the lecture. Many extra credit opportunities, quizzes and tests are easy, and he is very lenient with late work and deadlines. I definitely recommend taking any of his classes.
Amazing teacher. Communicates through email quickly, very understanding to people's situations, helps you understand the material, gets you interested and engaged, very funny, and makes the effort to build connections with the students.
Cannot recommend him enough. Lots of assignments and reading, but it's always interesting and worth my time. Had him twice, he made me love psych even more. Had a very difficult time this semester and he was very understanding and gives everyone opportunities, making sure they pass. Very accessible, tech-savvy, knowledgeable, and professional.
Professor Marino is very understanding and accommodating. While the content was interesting be aware that the in-person class follows an online format. The class is test and assignment heavy but if you are self motivated and tech savvy you will be fine.
