I 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.
She was great, tests were rough tho. She gives practice exams that are mostly mc just for the tests to be free response. Everything could and will be on the test so study everything. There are a lot of topics in this class, so make flashcards or something to try and keep up with all the vocab and concepts.
very nice professor for the last half of the quarter. makes things very clear and tells you straight up what she will be testing on. explains things pretty well and connects it to relevant topics. brings snacks to encourage participation and is very enthusiastic about this topic and her field of study :-)
Dr. Marsh is a great professor and I took her for EEMB 120 and EEMB 138 in the spring of 2025. She is very kind and cares a lot about the success of her students. As long as you go to class, it is easy to get an A in her courses, since she makes it very clear what to expect on exams. She doesn't record lectures unfortunately
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!!!!
I took it during fall 2024, I liked the professor, lots of the material was already covered in eemb2/3. Exams were open response in person, not too bad, just read her notes, and do the practice exams (super similar), lecture not recorded. professor was nice and gave snacks when people participated in class. She was sweet and passionate about topic.
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
Test is all free response which seems daunting but is not too bad. GO TO LECTURE, just reading the slides isn't enough and she doesn't record. You have to put in the time to memorize, but not a hard class. Sometimes, hints at what will be on the exam during class, so make sure to pay attention. Section mandatory and the presentation is not bad
HIGHLY RECOMMEND EEMB 120! Her lectures are super easy to follow and if you go to class she'll give hints on what will be on the midterm. Midterms and final are mostly free response, but she offers extra credit at the end of every test so it's possible to score over 100. The professor also gave out snacks during lecture making class more enjoyable.
Professor pulls all material straight from the textbook. What I thought was going to be a very interesting class turned out to me not wanting to go to lecture. Wouldn't recommend.
She doesn't care about her students. At all. She scheduled office hours during a TA's discussion section and when asked would not schedule secondary office hours. Don't try talking to her after class or she will blow you off and probably won't even remember your name! Her lectures are decent but I don't think she likes students.
slides are not organized and are all over the place. Lectures are boring, even though the subject is interesting. Just read the textbook, honestly. Halfway through the quarter, I just stopped going because the lecture wasn't helping me learn. Read the textbook or just take another ecology at the same time, and you'll do fine for exams.
She is very very kind and takes feedback seriously. The content itself I found very intuitive and easy- and a lot of review from lower division eemb courses. The midterms were more than fair, and the final was not cumulative. She also gives lots of hints during lecture about what exactly is going to be on the test. Study, and you'll def get an A
I highly recommend this class for anyone needing upper division bio credits. The class is really manageable and the workload is not bad at all. The tests are very straightforward and all the info needed is on the slides. Go to lecture because she always drops hints about exactly what she will test on and its been consistent every time. Love her
This class can be a bit boring and there is a decent amount of material. She is an alright lecturer and can be a tad annoying at times. The class is graded based off three non-cumulative exams which are decently easy if you study, online quizzes, and homework. Make sure to pay attention in lecture and reading is helpful for a better understanding.
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.
I really enjoyed her. She did not always explain concepts in the best way, but she had to go through a lot of material. She definitely cares about the students, and always replied to my emails. Her tests were a little difficult, but she would take questions off if too many students got it wrong. She was overall a good professor.
Better than Low, but that's not saying much. There were small issues in the class that will hopefully be better next time. Study the slides and only use the textbook for explanations. There are a couple of very specific questions that are taken from the slides. HW is busywork, but helps your grade. Very small curve. Do the extra credit!
Marsh was an amazing professor for bio, especially after surviving Low. She is clearly passionate about the content and cares a lot for the students. Her class has 3 non-cumulative exams and weekly quizzes/writing assignments. Pay a lot of attention in lecture since she drops hints and such.
