Average

Professor Smith does not know how to teach. He gets easily distracted during class and his choice of textbook and his power points are not very good. He will only spend 20 minutes to go over the power point slides. If you have questions, go to office hours with Prof Spencer. She's really helpful and is much better at explaining than Smith.

Poor

Smith cannot explain even the most basic concepts. His exams are online and proctored, similar to the homework in the course. He's easier than other Fin 300 instructors. It would take a miracle for him to work out a homework problem correctly in class. Fin 300 is a poorly designed course so its not entirely Smith's fault.

Awesome

He's an awesome teacher. He uses good examples from real life. His class is tough, but he makes it easier. Overall, he's one of the best teachers I've ever had at this school.

Mark K.
Smith, PhD
Champaign, Illinois
Over the years, Mark has developed broad experience in working with the global academic research community and Fortune 500 hardware and software companies. Early in his career, Mark helped launch several software companies and has gone through the full start-up experience, including raising investor capital and producing, selling, and supporting commercial developer tools and 3-D modeling software. He is a non-technical founder of Geomagic, a 3D modeling software company that was acquired by 3D Systems Corporation.

In 2002 Mark joined the University of Illinois where he led a global software consortium called the Gelato Federation. He worked with Federation members from all around the world and industrial partners fostering collaborative relationships to advance the Linux Itanium platform.

From 2008 Mark has served in two program management positions for industry-sponsored research centers at the University of Illinois. Both centers specialized in parallelizing client and mobile computing applications.

Mark currently teaches classes in financial markets and corporate finance at the University of Illinois each semester. The teaching aligns well with Mark's personal interest in Finance. He is also a Sam Walton Fellow and serves as the faculty adviser for Illinois Enactus, a social entrepreneur student group.
