Mark Carroll ENSP250 Expecting a B Anonymous 04/21/2026	This class is horrible. Do not take it as an easy gen-ed class unless you love grass and lawns. I took this to get rid of 2 of my gen-ed requirements and now it ruined my 4.0. I’m lucky that I’m a freshman and there’s some leg room but genuinely this class is so boring and the exams are stupid. The professor is a nice guy but he grades horribly. I took around 10-20 pages of notes per exam and still got Bs and Cs on them. They’re all open-note, yet they ask stuff like count the number of grass in McKeldin mall. genuinely useless. if you hate yourself take it by all means.
Mark Carroll ENSP250 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/09/2024	Dr. Carroll knows a lot and his lectures are pretty good, but a little dry. Some of the assignments are kind of confusing but he's willing to help explain things. All the tests/exams are open-notes/open-lecture and are based on lectures. However, you have to actually show up to class in order to get the material as some of the things are only said orally and not on the slides.

He is very knowledgeable on the topic of plant biology and I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I would highly recommend this professor.
