Excellent math teacher. Down to earth and to the point. Very willing to help.
Didn't like her at first, but she really is nice and an excellent prof
A little intimidating, but a good prof
She's wonderful. Inspired me to do well. Clear and capable.
Excellent instructor, very clear and organized...made us want to do work!

Very great professor ! Make you enjoy calculus.
Her jokes are like thorns on my head
She explains things VERY well, is well organized, but treats you like a child.

She was very clear and helpful - just don't ask dumb questions:)
I have never felt so stupid in all my life in her class!
one of the few profs who knows everyone's name... so expect to be embarrassed
She knows everybody's name!!! Wait a minute (that
I look to her for clothing and hair advice...a fashion goddess

tries to make you feel like a moron when you ask a question. an okay teacher.
The best calc prof in terms of teaching (not personality)
Should be retired.
Ahh!! The Green Monster!
condecending mofo
no question is a dumb question? not with her, be prepared to feel like an id
Nice, an effective prof, a good teacher, incredibly helpful
Go back to home ed.
She is amasing, knowing everyones name is great, I have been called apon meany times in class.. it can be imbarising
She is a really great math professor for 127. the fact that she's the course coordinator really helps... but beware, if she knows ur name she'll embarass u and make u feel like an idiot. but she's the only prof who knows what she's doing.DONT TAKE MATH128
Very good Prof, but does like to single people out. One of the best for Math 127/128 (at least she speaks english) :)
Very friendly and accomodating prof, one of the best I've had so far. I don't know where the hate is coming from?
nice teacher, more clear than almost all the other math profs.
Bev is a great teacher, she has very good notes and explains everything in detail.
Bev is awesome. She is course co-ordinator for all of the science geeks calculus classes, and still teaches a Mathie section of 137. She even learns everyone's name! Makes me remeber why I love calculus.
Fantastic professor, kept the whole class motivated and really gave the lecture material life. I just wish that she was doing 138 next term.
Great teacher. She really cared about the students and helped us understand the material. She is one of the best profs ever.
Great teacher. Knows everyone by name. Very articulate. Hard but Fair tests. Understanding if you have a problem. Always involved with tutorials, etc. Best calc 1 teacher. Humourous as well.
Don't be suprised when you ask a question and she knows your name. She made the class like a highschool one. She makes the course notes, and knows her stuff for sure. Definitely willing to help you out. It made 128 easier than 127.
Very nice prof that knows what she is doing. She is also very helpful. view when i'm coping down notes. Overall very helpful and great prof.
Great prof. Very knowledgeable. Very helpful. Tends to go a bit fast at times though, but has no problem with explaining stuff repeatedly. She actually takes the trouble to find out your name, which I think is really nice. and, she e-nun-ci-ates ver-y cle
This course is like being back in highschool, she cares about the students, but will yell at you if you get up to leave her class, even if she has gone over by 5 or more minutes (which happened every class). Couldn't read writing, thought name was Manstro
she is just amazing
good prof, clear explanation in lecture
Very good prof. Clear explanations, pleasant. Gives good advice about studying and learning. You'll do well on tests if you do the assignments and make sure you understand how to do all the problems.
I hate calculus but atleast she haelped me understand how much I hate it.
I miss Miss Marshman! I had her last year, and let's just say I was lost in 128 without her.
Way to go, Dr. Marshman: you are an example of the perfect professor. You made a difficult course enjoyable. Thank you so much, you are a fine teacher and a nice lady.
She one the best prof at UW. I didn't understand the concepts and she took her time to explain everything to me. She was extremely helpful and considerate.
enthusiastic teacher, but thinks that everything she does is intuitive so it's somtimes is confusing. Plus she's always run out of time teaching the lecture. She makes it harder than it should be!!
Wow bev marshman is the best prof ever, and what a great sight to see to end the day :)
Awesome prof! Gives plenty of examples, clear and neat notes, gives lots of extra help at tutorials and pre-midterm sessions. I think she's the best math prof!
Awesome prof.
very easyiest proff......aslo very helpfullll:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Hard class, do all the assignment YOUR SELF. Bev is very helpful and has good lecture notes.
Lectures are always clear, concise and well planned.
She's definately one of the nicest/kindest prof's I've had. But I couldn't stand how her assignments were not posted online, and neither were the solutions. It's very frustrating since I don't go to many classes. She's a very nice person, but the course just sucked.
She's very nice and will try to help you out as much as she can. Her lectures just delve right into examples and she doesn't really do too good of a job explaining what's going on. Course notes are great; make sure you read them before going to class. She'll help you as much as she can if you show the interest. Crazy hard final.
i waited for sooo long to register in her section oficially cause i think she is one of the best profs ever! Very smart and very nice as a person. She enjoys teaching and people enjoy coming to her class from all sections! I strongly recommend her!
Boring, seems to hate everyone. She even opend a door smashing it into me almost knocking me over and didn't even apologize. Though I only had her for tutorials not my actual prof.
One of the smartest prof in math faculty!
She is a great prof as in teaching. Students from other sections tend to come to her class. Very CROWDED! She is very picky on steps, especially in Math 138. So if you don't want to attend any classes, don't choose her as your prof.

A superb teacher with an excellent ability to convey her knowledge to us. Her examples, lectures, notes, and midterms were all fair, clear, consice, and structured perfectly for the course. She's very smart, and can be very nice (very much like a wise grandmother). However, if you don't attend her lectures, you won't pass the course.
Good prof. ,but lots of homework. If U hate graph, do not take her class
She is a very organized and knowledgeable prof. She likes to put in some extra material throughout the course. There was a newly added Maple component to assignments, which was quitely fun to experiment with. I can't say I did very well in this course, but I definitely learned lots and it was worthwhile.
Excellent prof- takes some getting used to, but she is very clear & easy to understand. Sometimes takes things a little slowly, but that is probably part of the reasons her classes do so well. Gives very helpful hints in exam review sessions! GO TO THEM!
She is very kind and helpful. But her classes are always slow in progress. Sometimes, she can explain one question for 20 minutes...
Took 136 and 138 with her, and got A+ for both. However, I see that she is not as good as she look or people says. Definitely she is better than average, but I would not take her if there was a real good professor on the term I took these courses
great prof, teaches really well, i understood her perfectly. sometimes expected us to know a little too much but her teaching makes up for it.
I did pretty well on 2 midterms. And also well on the assignments. Before the final my mark was 75% around. I felt that the final was not so hard. But the final mark of mine was 65%. I thought is because I missed 2 assignments. But I personally think you should follow the course outline to give student their marks. Unfair prof!
Poor professor for tutorials--would often come in late and keep people late and snap (or speak condescendingly) to students who asked questions. Catered mostly to students in her section of the course. Others said she was a good prof.. I never saw it. Didn't even show up for the pre-exam review she scheduled.
Bev Marshman will tear you a new **** if you are an idiot in class.
"let me write down the list of integrals again : ) " YOU WROTE THAT ON THE BOARD 10^100000 frickin' times!!
Great prof, one of the best
She explains extremely clear...u never feel bored in her class....get good mark even didn't do much self-study as long as u go to her class
She is not a very nice professor when it comes to people asking questions - doesn't like when people have laptops in tutorials, and goes slowly at times. Always makes tutorials stay late, but she's good at what she does.
Overall, she is a great professor. Her lectures are extremely clearly and helpiful. Her voice makes people feel very comfortable. However, there are certain points that I don't like. First, she is completely unavailable outside the lectures, i.e. she has no office hours. Also, if you sit in her classes as a visitor, she does not like you.
she's the best!!!!
She is difficult.
She is such an awesome granny prof! Super nice and funny!Too bad she's retiring =[
She's a good prof but expects a LOT out of her students. If you like the subject she's teaching then rush to the class but if you don't then avoid her like the devil.
The worst, she posts assignments on tuesday and they are due on thursday!!!
Assignments were incredibly long and moderately difficult. Midterm was long but somewhat fair. Final was really long and pretty difficult. Her proofs are hand-wavy but her explanations are pretty clear. Also, her drawings are incredible.
Great teacher. She conveys information clearly and seems to really want people to understand the material. She is obviously excited about math. She is available after class and during tutorials for questions. It is a hard class, but it is fair. If you work hard (ie. do the practice questions) and go to class, you will do decently.
Essentially, if you fall behind on the material the chances of you doing poorly is very likely.
Fantastic prof, made me love multivariable calculus. Very good at drawing pictures for visualization. Made advanced concepts very simple.
Bev is a wonderful professor who is extremely talented in visual aid during lectures. She can go a bit slow or fast sometimes depending on the topic but is always willing to clarify if you ask her. Her exams and evaluations are fairly difficult so prepare hard for them and try not to fall behind! Especially for vector calculus near the end.
