Reviews of professor Edward Marxen

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Ed is actually a nice guy. Other than that, I don't have much good to say about him. He tells you that your work is good but then grades it and gives you a C- on it... it's so annoying. This class also takes up all your free time outside of class after being IN CLASS for 2 hours and 20 mins. Can't recommend this class to anyone. Yikes.

really good professor, great at giving good feedback so that you know what you need to do/ fix on projects. You have to put in time and effort on projects to succeed, but overall if you pay attention to what he is asking for and pay a lot of attention to detail, you will do pretty well.

Ed is the best! He is a very personable teacher and always gives very knowledgeable feedback. I would agree that he's a tough grader; he'll act like your project is good and then give you a C. On the other hand, he is always available to help his students and will always start an interesting conversation. Overall, I would recommend.

Indecisive and Inconsistent. He doesn't know what he wants and contradicts himself. I received a C+ in the class when I should have received an A.

Ed is a very tough grader, but it is because he holds high expectations for students. He genuinely cares about your success and wants to help you in any way he can. His rubrics are clear and he is more hands off, allowing you to do your work and go to him if you have questions. Overall he is a talented professor and creates a good class environment

Professor Marxen was a great professor. Although the class and projects were difficult and very time consuming, he was always there to offer honest feedback. I was never given a grade I did not deserve. He would always explain the next project but would mostly give the whole class time to work. He really works hard to get to know his students!

Decent overall, however wishy-washy grading scale. If you don't get the exact color schemes for the 3rd project you will get a low grade. His lectures are useless, often he doesn't even know what's on the PowerPoints till he opens them. Still super easy to contact, and get feedback from.

I should have gotten a B or an A in this class. Grades so harshly. My GPA has dropped so much because I have had him for 2 of my class. He is a nice and helpful person but he has no idea what he is doing. All he does is read off a sheet of paper of the same day he gives it to us and has no idea what the project is and how to do it.

Theres a difference between being honest and being a ridiculously difficult grader. Forget about ever having any free time. He will tell you your project looks great when you present it and then when you check your grade you failed the assignment. This is the only class Ive ever failed in my life and art is my strongest subject.
