Reviews of professor Marshall Evans

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
You will either hate him or love him. I respected him but he gives no feed back on papers and will not tell you if you are doing well.

Marshall is a confusing teacher but I get what he is going for. If you are looking for a teacher that will answer your questions, this is not the class for you. He will never tell you whether you are right but he will challenge almost anything and everything you say with a rebuttal.

Mr. Evans is a nice enough guy, but an awful professor. Its easy enough to get an A in the class, but sitting through the lectures might not be worth the A. The classes are 100% conversation based, so be ready to talk to earn your participation grade. No questions you have about the class, your essay, etc. will ever be answered by him.

Had him for an hour and a half class and sometimes we would only talk about 3 questions that had simple answers. Class was super boring but I guess thats better than it being ridiculously hard. Grade just comes out of participation and papers. No reading quizzes. Be sure to do well on his papers, hard grader.

I'm pretty sure Spud is retiring, but if not, here's a rating of him. He is crazy. I still cannot decide if he is intelligent or not. Class is completely discussion based. He starts every class with "So.... what do y'all wanna talk about today". You "grade yourself" but then have a meeting with him at midterm and final to decide your letter grade.

He gives little to no feedback on papers and your grade is kind of up to his interpretation (although he claims you are grading yourself). I think a large portion of your grade comes from your participation in class discussions. I had no idea what grade I had in the class but ended up getting an A. Just show up and act like you care I guess.

We have good discussions in class, but you'll never get a straight answer from him, with anything. Everything is discussion based and all questions with no definitive response. Can be frustrating if you're not into that kinda thing

Completely unprofessional, made highly political remarks that have no place in an academic setting. A professor should never say of "X" is elected we will never have the ability to vote again. Disgusting, politics has no place in the classroom.

Marshall is confusing. His class is mostly discussion based, so be sure to do the reading and participate in class. He "ungrades" where you basically grade yourself, but don't use that as an excuse to not do the work. He's picky about papers, but I think that if you get creative and think outside the box you should be good.
