Marcus V Santos

His teaching and the content were great, but the marking and tests were over the top. 67% of the mark is essay tests, and the topics were so subjective that he took marks off for little things that you could've included, even if you had a lot of other good information.

For the final, I literally started studying 2 days before and still got an 80. He posts study guides weeks before practicums and exams, which specifically tell you what to focus on. For the final especially, which had 7 questions, he clearly stated what each question is on. Then I just did examples and exercises from his slides and I was prepared.

Might as well take it in the summer with Ufkes, 100x better.

Never curves, never gives a damn about the students who doesn't understand. Super uptight, failed twice in the same class

Data structure more like LISP. You learn LISP for 3 weeks and then need to learn more yourself to finish the homework. Meanwhile, other universities are teaching much more about data structure using Python, C/C++ and Java... You know languages used these days. Besides that, the homework were doable and easy. Midterms and Exams are also easy.

To be honest the professor is okay , but the course is really not good at allllll !!! I barely learned any data structure and learned more the lisp programming language . will I ever need to use lisp in the future ? let's see !!!!!

Worst professor ever, never take classes with him , its so funny that he wants everyone to fail , i dont even know why he is a professor teaching at tmu.

Marcus is super judgmental and condescending implies youre not cut out if you dont understand this course. Makes the course more stressful than it needs to be. If you're in first year, take it in summer with Alex Ufkes instead. Also, don't waste time on emacs—just learn to compile/run for labs (why LISP); use VS Code for everything else.

i walk by victoria street on purpose whenever i have to see this guy

whenever I see him walking through campus I resist the urge to trip him
