CollegeI had Professor Marsh over the Summer 2025 quarter and actually really enjoyed attending her lectures. She has a great vibe, gives out snacks when you participate, and provides plenty of hints for what material to focus on when studying.
She is so sweet! Would def take a class with her again. She also gives you so many assignments to get your grades up and extra credit as well.
Marsh is my fav prof I have ever had. I took EEMB7 during summer at 8 am, and it was clear she really understood the struggle of having to learn a 10 week course in 6 weeks. She uploaded practice exams on Canvas for us, had her TA run review sessions the day before exams, & was really receptive to feedback. Really kind & caring professor overall.
Grade consists of online quizzes, hw, and 3 exams, so lots of assignments to boost your grade (+extra credit). I almost never went to class but lecture slides are posted online and reading the textbook helped a lot. Not super difficult but LOTS of content so make sure you put in the work and you should be fine. Utilize key terms and practice qs!!!!
treats us like children a lot of the time but is super nice. always brings snacks for her students and is very open to explaining things over again is clarification is needed. her exams were very difficult however, and brought the grade down a lot. would not personally take her again but she is not a bad professor
Amazing and funny professor! Her grading criteria was straightforward with hw assignments being 40% of the grade and exams (3) being 60%. Her lectures emphasized what would be on the tests so I suggest paying attention. I found exams to be based on lecture slides but reading should still be done to solidify info. Practice exams are super helpful!
