Mark Bottita's University Courses:

Professor Bottita has taken a challenging subject which I expected to be dry and spiced it up to make it interesting. As a student, veteran, father, husband, and soldier, I was pleased to observe the professor challenge young students to think more deeply about their lives. His level of professionalism is a credit to the university and department. I learned a lot about how to speak well in public as a result of his efforts. Great job!  —Student, Indiana University (South Bend campus)

I really liked the instructor. He was very real and interested in us as individuals."  —Communication class, Indiana University (South Bend campus), Spring 2006
