I loved having him as my TA. He was amazing, accessible, and really made discussion sections interesting. You can really tell he has a passion for English and wants everyone to succeed. There's no textbook, but you do have to purchase copies of 5 different plays.Rate My Professors ↗

This class made me feel like I actually learned something even in the midst of the pandemic. Marek makes it seem like he really cares about you and your grades and teaches you a lot about advanced writing as well as looking at the real world through a new lens. This class was super easy and definitely worth taking. Minimal-moderate effort ARate My Professors ↗
