Comment:

Professor Marksbury is my favorite professor at Tulane. He pushes students to think beyond the confines of their comfort zone. He is a super-smart, experienced, and easy to understand the professor. He treats students as equals in his small and intimate class. His passion and straightforwardness make him a very unique and special professor.

Comment:

This was the second class that I've had with this professor and he's definitely one of the best at Tulane. This class was small, so there was a lot of individual attention and opportunity to interact directly with the professor. Although attendance is not mandatory, It's important to come to class to do well on the tests. 10/10 would recommend.

Comment:

Professor Marksbury is a nice man. However, this class consists of him standing in front of 6 students listing random names and dates, without any Powerpoint or guide to refer to for studying. It's an easy A, but tests require a lot of work because of his lack of detail. He gets frustrated if people miss class because of the crazy small size.

Stay Away from this class. $1000 down the drain. You will not receive your first grade until your midterm, which happens to be well pass the drop or refund dates. Lectures are long 3 hours, plus 3 books to read, papers are long. All tests are short answerlong answer , no multiple choice or TF. So your subject to his grading.

I've never received a 'C' until I took this class. His exams are on the books and lectures. I am not kidding you, no matter how much you write on your essays, they will not be good enough. GOOD LUCK.

He was a moderator of a Hawaii trip with Tulane I went on. Great guy, funny, interesting, pretty laid back. Definately made the trip worth it.
