Mark is very kind and gives direction well. His examples are clear and three hours of a perfect amount of time to work and not feel rushed. He also can be specific with his suggestions and answered questions patiently. I love kind of fast but will would take his class again if I don’t find another stimulating class nearby. I kind of wish it started earlier, though. -
