Historical instructors & teaching patterns

Past student reviews · Rick Marolt

Historical instructor Rick Marolt taught a class where a heavily weighted group project was graded strictly and subjectively, leading to significant student disagreement and low A rates. While some found the material interesting and noted his genuine care for students, others found the grading unreasonable and his attendance checks intrusive. One student described the experience as the worst they had taken.
