[endif]- “Mark’s class is like getting hit with a dump truck of knowledge. MOST FUN EVER!!!
- “I learned so many juicy tips and new information that is incredibly beneficial to my career. I love how we learned how to figure out factual mathematics to correct a room and then how to apply it in a creative manner. I never thought of using science or mathematics in a creative way.”
- "Nothing. I can't think of one time that I wasn't excited to do something for this class.”
- "I freaking love Mark he is just *chef’s kiss* at what he does and how he does it! my suggestion to improve?? give us more time with him!!!!”
- "Mark's classes are always completely packed full of useful knowledge, and while it is a lot, I completely love the detail and description he goes into to describe how the information fits into the entire process of making music, as well as how it affects the industry. This is a hard class, but one of the most interesting and fun classes i've ever taken, Mark respects his students and peers, and shows pride in his work.”
- "This was like learning to walk again, the amount of clarity presented in this course in the field of the music industry is insane.”

[endif] - "Mark Everetts is one of the best professors and mentors I’ve ever had the luxury to know. His work ethic and his dedication to make sure his students learn the material outmatch most other teachers I’ve ever interacted with. Both in and out of class he has been nothing but helpful and inspiring. The course itself was one of the most diverse and useful I’ve ever had here, providing me with a wealth of knowledge that is immediately applicable to the real world.”
[endif] - "Mark is absolutely incredible. The music tech program wouldn’t be half the program it is without him here”

- “MARK IS THE BEST. MARK IS DOPE. MARK MAKES ME CRY SOMETIMES BUT IT’S OUT OF JOY MOSTLY. CRYING OUT OF JOY LESS FREQUENTLY WHEN I HAVE TO STAY IN THE STUDIO FOR MORE THAN 7 HOURS.”

In this course he has been so down−to−earth and really wants the best for us before we get out into the real world. I’m definitely going to miss him after I graduate because he really believes in all of us so deeply."EndFragment
