If you ask him a silly question he'll make sure you know that but in a funny way not in a mean way, straight to the point and clear.

I highly recommend that you take it alongside ECE230, as the class topics and schedules line up very nicely.

The TAs do all the work, and Mark will just come by and give you a check off once a month in the lab classes.

Unfortunately he is hardly ever there to help. I didn't even know the TA until the 5th out of 6 labs. His labs are also really unclear and rely very heavily on you being able to work technology that you've never used. Really easy though. Good luck.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1974261","quality_rating":2.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0}]
