Mark is a really nice guy, but he has absolutely ZERO organizational skills. He does a terrible job of explaining assignments and kept pushing our investigative report off; currently getting hammered by all of that. He rambles on and on about stories to lighten the mood in a completely useless class. Not an awful prof to get, but an awful course.Rate My Professors ↗

Nice guy, but horrible class. Not very organized. Would give different instructions on assignments and change expectations. Talks so slow and rambles on irrelevant stories. Overall, pretty easy grader compared to other GB300 professors but very frustrating.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 1/5Difficulty 1/5
This class is very easy and straightforward; however, if you take it with Lindquist, you will be added unneeded work and pain. Lindquist is a great person but a terrible professor. He spends most of class telling stories which leaves no time to take in relevant info. He is also EXTREMELY unorganized. He will send some assignments out on canvas andRate My Professors ↗

Great professor; beyond great. If I had to take this class again, I would definitely take it with him.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
Mark is a very chill and relaxed professor. This is good for some, but people who like a lot of structure and organization to their classes might not like him. Otherwise, he is a really easy grader and genuinely enjoys listening to students.Rate My Professors ↗

Mark is the best professor I have had so far. Such an overall good dude. He grades fairly, and tells great stories.Rate My Professors ↗
