Marsha is an amazing professor. I really enjoyed her class and it really helped me grow. Some of the having to figure out stuff for yourself is just part of the class.

Comment:

For all the hate that she gets, Marsha is actually a fantastic professor. She's unconventional--she isn't your "typical" professor, but that's why she's so good. She cares more about the students and their well-being than she does the professionalism of the job, which is great. She applies real world teaching experience to her class. She's a gem!

Comment:

She taught a pass/fail class. She was very unorganized and unprofessional for teaching a class about professionalism. She blamed all of her mistakes on others and gave credit to herself for showing "professionalism" when fixing her mistakes.

Marsha seems to be living in her own little world, often at times it seems as if your questioning how did this lady become a professor. I for one couldn't seem to grasp any of her lessons, due to the un-clear expectations and un-clear responses. I never once missed a class or assignment and still fear failure. She's a ticking time bomb. Good Luck!

Comment:

She is very unorganized and confusing. You're confused, then the next minute she is wondering why you're confused. I would recommend taking ANY professor besides her, unless you do well with teaching yourself the entire course. She is not helpful and I feel like she is always looking down upon myself and my classmates.

Comment:

Really unorganized and blamed others a lot when things went wrong when she tells us not to do that. She rolled her eyes at me once because I asked her to repeat her fast talking self. She expects us to do a lot of the work and find out a lot of things of field experience on our own.

Marsha is fabulous!!!! The reason people have issues with her is because she can be very unorganized, but she is so wonderful!

I like this class. If you expect everything to be spelled out up front, then you will be in for a surprise. But, give this instructor and class a chance and you might just enjoy the experience! Fun fashion, too!

Comment:

Would change mind often, confusing students. Opinionated, and did not like opposition to her views. Not sure of her mental state, but it should be checked - I and others talked about her stability, and I did not think she had any. Doesn't belong teaching, made other students targets. If she is your teacher, drop the class wait for a better one.

Comment:

Lively and interesting right up until the point you realize she's your instructor. Steer clear of this one; she makes learning a nightmare. Scatterbrained, disjointed though patterns, very disorganized and while she's getting her ducks in a row, she wonders why you are confused and upset.

Poorly organized, extremely difficult to share opinions with, unclear in giving directions, politically FAR left, and creates an uncomfortable classroom environment.

She has a very different style of teaching... it's not very direct. She's hard to work with too... doesn't answer questions very well... and leaves things open when explaining things.

Comment:

Awesome example of how to teach based on your philosophy. She is someone you may go to just to unload. She although has unconventional ways of getting through to her students is a great teacher for those who have an open mind. If you don't do well in her class you have to look at your self and ask if you have the flexability to be a teacher.

If your idea of good teaching involves left-wing,liberal,pacifist,Hilary Clinton worshipping,feminists, blaming white males for all the worlds troubles, this is the class for you. Janeanne Garafolo look alike contest winner.
