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!

Professor Marsh was a good professor. She gave us slides that you need to fill in during lecture, but towards the end, she gave us filled in slides so you don't have to go. Tests are based directly from the lecture slides. Homework was fairly easy, just an assignment once a week. And she gives out candy.

Unprofessional, rude, doesn't take student suggestions, doesn't post slides

Prof Marsh is very understanding. Her lectures outline the points in a pretty broad sense (for what you need to know on exams and quizzes), so I suggest reading the text book to get a deeper understanding of the material. Also use flashcards!!!! Physical ones!!! they helped me pull my grade from a low B to an A.
