Marc is great at motivating students to move forward with their thesis. He also took the time to shoot videos and include examples in the discussion board. The most memorable and helpful video was the one on literature review where he drilled down and spoke to the topics of each student in his video—Swinburne, 2020 (*COVID-19)

I really admire the way Marc communicates with his students because it exemplifies what a lecturer-to-student connection should be like.

I'm very satisfied with Marc’s teaching. His weekly classes have been very useful as they provide students like myself with additional knowledge on how to produce a good thesis.

I couldn't have done my thesis without his help in his classes—Swinburne, 2018

Marc can empathize well with students. He is patient and makes time to meet students whenever he can. He continuously pushes and challenges me to be better than who I am now. Learning is a life-long process, and I strongly believe that after taking Marc’s class—Swinburne, 2017

Marc is a VERY ENTHUSIASTIC lecturer. He is somewhat different in many ways from others. Marc teaches with great passion and compassion, always focused on bringing out the best in each and every student. Regardless of the competency of students, he will always make everyone feel included during classes and activities. Students may be weak in various aspects but he always chooses to uplift them with words of encouragement, surrounding them with positivity and hope. I have come to realize that it has made a quite a difference in students who do not perform academically well. Marc was able to recreate confidence in students, constantly empowering them to move out of their comfort zone to experience personal growth. I like how Marc guides and advices his students. He gives us the opportunity to think as he patiently guides us on how things can be done better. I remember drafting out invitation letters to speakers such as Dr. Abdul Rahman (Director of Workforce Development Unit, Sarawak) and Syed Nizamuddin (Former MP at the Malaysian Youth Parliament), Marc would always take the time to read and improve on the invitation letter in the most efficient manner, allowing us to send invitations out in a timely manner. Marc is a lecturer that not only focuses on the educational aspect but also on the important values that we as individuals should uphold in our life. Values that strike me most were ethics, honesty and HUMILITY. He is an individual that leads by example gaining great respect from students. Being taught by Marc has been life changing for me. I started thirsting for knowledge like never before, buying two books (Working with Difficult People & Mind Maps for Business) to read considering I was never an avid reader. This has also reenergized me to work not just harder but smarter. I sincerely hope that students of Swinburne Sarawak will enjoy the privilege that I had of being empowered by young and inspirational lecturers like Marc who teaches with extraordinary passion and enthusiasm, bringing out the best in students—Swinburne, 2017
