Reviews of professor Christopher Marshburn

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I loved this class! You have to really be on top of stuff because the only grades are 4 exams and 2 quizzes, but it's doable. His lectures are very engaging (lots of stand up comedy videos) and clear and he follows the textbook pretty closely. Very particular about certain things but communicates his expectations clearly.

Marshburn is a decent guy to talk to but you can definitely tell he is a new professor that is trying to seem like a hard prof. He uses a lot of videos and class activities in class which wasn't for me, but if you like that, then he's your guy. His exams are very hard for no reason even though they are open notes and book. Several pop quizzes

Best class I've taken in college. He ran sneaky experiments on us before we learned the topic. I have had many Tuesday Thursday classes and every time no matter how interesting to me the topic is I always got antsy and it was hard to pay attention to the last 15 min. This class was the ONLY tues. thurs. classes where I never felt bored or antsty

Dr. Marshburn made PSY314 so interesting and enjoyable. He is really good at strengthen learning of material through various methods like group activities and videos. Exams are open-note and fairly straight forward. His class is not hard if you put in effort, study for exams ,and get help with papers. One of the best professors I have had.

Overall this was a good class with a good professor. The first exam was the hardest for me, but the rest seemed very straightforward. There are a few papers you need to write that have extremely specific rubrics. Dr. Marshburn is a little new, and we had a few issues with the class, but honestly he really makes social psych interesting!

Attendance is not technically required but is a easy way to earn points because he only grades based off of 8 assignments (2 get dropped). Exams were not hard if you take decent notes, and every other assignments is pretty concise.

Mr. Marshburn was hands down the worst teacher I have ever had. He had little to no feelings towards his students and did not seem to care about any of their questions. He also failed to answer any emails. He batley ignored my classmates DRC accommodation, and didn't seem to care, he responded with, "I will answer you once you properly message me

I went into this class terrified because I had heard that he was a tough professor and that I would do poorly, but he recently figured out these rumors and wanted to change. His exams were online and open note. This was the first psychology class that I was fully engaged in and enjoyed. He is a sweet and funny guy and wants us to succeed!

Dr. Marshburn is very fair and tries to make the class as interesting as possible. Hes a cool guy and there are a lot of papers and assignments and the online tests can be difficult, but overall its a fun class
