Very good teacher. He has you do an online quiz for every weeekend, but they are pretty easy.
he was decent. just study before tests and do little online quizes and you'd do okay
tells you what the essay test questions are going to be, and you have an online, open book second half for the tests. very easy and funny teacher
Professor Marshall was the man. The class was easy. He was really funny and very approachable about anything. He made the hour and a half long class go by fairly fast. Awesome professor. I highly highly recommend Professor Marshall.
Very intriguing man. His lectures are interesting and insightful. minimal homework. gives essay questions for exams in adv. rest of test m/c online. Nice guy.
Easy to take notes. clear powerpoints, not boring at all
Cool guy. Interesting and funny. Made History not boring. One of those teachers you could hang out with outside of class. I would take one of his classes again for sure.
He is awesome. Really funny and makes an extremely boring subject come to life. He compares history to present day whenever possible. Pretty much no homework. Tells you what essay and identification problems are on the test! Take him if at all possible! Never enjoyed history before this
Mr. Marshall is the best history teacher I've ever had. He's funny, enthusastic and interesting. Take him if you can.
Great Teacher Power Points every day well written out and covers things very well. Loves questions, make sure you pay attention in class or tests can get hard. but by far my favorite class of the semester.
absolutley one of the easiest college courses i have ever taken, all tests are extremely simple as he gives you a review that is exactly the test, if your taking any history class take this one because it was unbelievabley easy and he is a funny dude to
He's extremely helpful, and will lead you in the right direction for tests and quizzes. All his study guides are exactly what will be on the test, and his written tests are really easy. His online tests however, aren't hard but are made extremely easy if you go to class everyday and read the text book.
Absolutely LOVED this class. Would highly recommend Prof. Marshall to anyone. Never boring.
LOVED this class. Very easy, very fun. Did not need to do more than skim the text book. Never fell asleep in class. He lets you have your computer... but he is more interesting then facebook. Take him if you get the chance, he is awesome.
Very interesting class and he makes it easy to follow along. Will always answer your questions or help you whenver you need it. Also puts all his lectures on a powerpoint online so even if you miss a day you can catch up on what you missed. Marshall is tight you can't go wrong with him!
Great class, great prof. Highly recommended!
He is a really cool guy very outgoing. He teaches very in depth about the material. He says a few jokes in most cases are funny.
Great professor. Lectures are not boring, tries to make history interesting. Really nice guy & funny too.
Chris is an awesome prof. His history class is awesome. Tests aren't hard nor are the quizzes. No homework. Very interesting great class.
very nice and funny. he likes to joke aroun alot. is very helpful and cares about your success.
Great Professor
Super nice guy, very excited about history. Really enjoyed the class and learned alot. Would highly recommend him to anyone at Stout.
Best professor I've had at Stout. Really friendly guy and made the subject matter exciting and easy to understand.
Awesome teacher. My favorite class to go to, because he teaches it.
Loved this class both for the content and the teacher. He is an amazing teacher and is very passionate about this subject. He gets worked up at times about the content which is funny. One of my favorite classes because of this teacher. I highly recommend this class.
Very entertaining and mixed in plenty of humor as well as including a little football during the fall semester. Fun to just talk to and joke around with. Just finished my first full year and he has been my favorite professor for the 36 credits I've taken.
Great instructor. Nice guy, and really cares about the material...great online presence as well. Top notch professor.
Wonderful professor, actually cared whether you learned something in his class. Short and stocky but kind of cute due to being smart and funny.
Christopher is an amazing professor who really allows you to get interested in whatever he is teaching. I highly recommend taking him for any class and would take him again in a heartbeat.
Awesome prof!
Was dreading having history at 8 but Chris's class is the best one I have this semester. He's interesting, funny and very intense about history. I've learned a lot and would definitely take him again.
Marshall is the absolute greatest professor I have ever had. He is so passionate about what he teaches that it makes you interested in it. Definitely would take a class with him again in a heart beat!
best class I took my freshman year. Take him he's great.
Chris is great! He is very laid back and actually makes a boring subject, like history, fairly interesting. He does not overload you with course work. You can tell he is very knowledgeable and excited about what he teaches. I would recommend him to anyone. Attendance is graded.
Funny guy. He is really out there and loves what he does and knows a ton about his discipline. He really gets you interested in history. The two hour class goes by faster than most of my 55 min classes.
Chris is such a great professor. He's passionate about what he teaches and loves to get his students fired up. He's funny, smart and an all-around great guy. If I could I would take more classes with him. Having his class is a great way to end my last semester here at Stout.
Chris is a great professor he really wants you to succeed. He has amazing lectures and tells you what to be prepared for on the exam which is nice. I would definitely take more history classes with him! He's one of the best professor's I've had at Stout!
Chris's lectures are pretty relaxed. It's just him talking about the topic. His assignments are easy, as long as you write something and don't sound like you have no idea what you're talking about you'd be fine. I got 100% on all of my assignments. The midterm and final are take home, but you really have to sit down and think about them.
Chris Marshall makes class fun and interesting. His lectures are interesting and fun and his love for history rubs off on every student and he is the reason i plan to take more history classes while I'm at Stout.
Great class, he makes lectures interesting. Easy class just show up to the lectures.
His lectures were very long, but he clearly knew what he was talking about. If you show up and listen you will do fine, mid-term and final were papers so no in class tests. Quiet a few papers, not all long though.
Probably one of the best classes I've taken at Stout. Chris is a great lecturer and has a good sense of humor. I actually looked forward to class.
Had him last spring for Modern U.S History. Went in dreading the class but it was easily one of the best I took at Stout. Chris is a great guy, uses humor alot but also is very serious about history. Take him.
Very funny and easy to listen to. Cares about your grade and wants you to succeed. grades midterm and final papers hard but writing assignments are easy.
one of the best
Took him for World History and really enjoyed the class. Chris is very energetic, a little strange (but funny), but a great professor all around. I highly recommend his class.
He makes this potentially boring class fun. He is goofy to the point where you laugh at him. Take this class with him because he makes it super easy as long as you show up.
Awesome. I would take him again if I needed another history class. It was very easy to pass. As long as you give a good effort you will pass. He doesn't give too much feedback unless you ask. Take him if you can!
Chris was an awesome teacher and he was so nice to his students. Assigned a one question quiz and a short (1-2 page) writing a week. Lectures weren't awful to sit though and he made them entertaining. Takes attendance everyday and likes it when students participate.
I would recommend Dr. Marshall to anyone, he is so laid back and is the best prof I have had yet. He likes class participation and his lectures are not bad to sit through. I would recommend him to anyone needing a credit in his type of field.
He gives a lot of papers to do but they are quick and easy to do. Big midterm and final paper between 6-8 pages each. A few easy quizzes.
Grades more on short writing assignments and papers. There's 2 big papers and some other Bi-weekly short essays. He is not a tough grader to get a B, but if you want to get an A you have to put in the work. Daily lectures which honestly aren't too bad and seem to go by quickly.
A short writing assignment almost every week are not too hard if you follow the questions he gives. Gives great feedback and easy to talk to about any questions you may have about the class. Two big exams- not hard if you take the time and effort into them. His lectures are great and really enjoys a good class discussion
If you have to take any history classes I would recommend him for every single one of them. He is very passionate about history which makes the lectures very interesting. He made me actually want to come to class every single day.
Probably the best class I had so far at Stout. Actually looked forward to a history class with him as the teacher. Smart, funny guy. Highly recommend!
One of the best professors a college student can ever take.
Amazing teacher! A lot of reading, not so much from the textbook but more from lecture notes. I took this class online, and really wished I had the chance to listen to his lectures (as I think they would be interesting)
He is awesome , super funny and personally his lectures aren't boring. Even though I am a history major I still think he makes lectures interesting. I would definitely take more of his classes!
He's a nice guy. I had him for Honors Age of Revolutions, and he constantly praised how smart we were. We had weekly short writing assignments, but those were easy. The midterm and final were hard if you had a tendency to dose off in class like I do, and you are only allowed to miss 3 classes. Otherwise, it was a nice class.
Also took him for Age of Revolutions and loved the course! Chris is an excellent professor who has passion for what he teaches, and who cares about students' success. Would absolutely recommend him for any class he teaches!
good teacher
Without a doubt the best professor I have ever had. Great lectures although a little long. Easy work and very straightforward. Easy class if you pay attention and show up.
Made me really enjoy History for the first time in my life. Great professor. A MUST take!
Marshall is very nice but I struggled understanding his lectures because he gets off topic a lot. I decided to record his lectures. The nice thing is his class has no quizzes. Its all short writing assignments and the midterm and final are 6-8 page paper on 2 different writing prompts. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE ON THEM. They do require a lot of thought
Dr. Marshall is one of the best at Stout. Take him if you can!
I had Dr. Marshall for Modern Asian History, and he was great! Well-informed, funny, and very understanding. I would absolutely take him again!
He is very loud and starts off the class very off topic, but he quickly gets into the materials. He sometimes gets off topic and it can be very funny how far off topic he goes.
Dr. Marshall is an excellent professor. His lectures can go on interesting yet unrelated tangents, and its funny when he realized he went from talking about post-war prosperity to stealing the corpse of Vladimir Lenin and operating it like a ragdoll. No quizes or tests, but there are at least 2 4-5 page papers. You won't regret taking him!
The best class I've had so far at Stout, and I don't even like history. Dr. Marshall is a great teacher and a great guy! Take him!
Chris is easily my favorite professor at Stout. Great sense of humor, but very serious about History. I learned a lot in his class. Got to take him!
Really liked his American History class. He's a funny guy, but a very good teacher too.
Chris knows his stuff, a funny professor which is rare for history professors, and grades fairly, showing up to class and doing the work gets you a good grade.
Chris is my favorite professor at Stout. Any by far the best history teacher i've ever had for history. Makes the lectures fun and engaging. He is passionate about history and shows it.
chris is an amazing professor every lecture is well thought out and explained well! i went to his class for half the semester before realizing i can do all the work and still pass without showing up. as long as you do the assignments you will get an A. no questions i fully recommend him.
I am horrible at history but got an easy A in his class. He makes lectures fun and interesting. 10/10 recommend!
Chris was a riot. He was always full of energy so early in the morning. He led very good discussions and his lectures were always engaging. He went off on a bunch of tangents, but you would never miss any material. He's pretty liberal, so if you're a conservative, you won't like him. Had him for HIST 360, Honors Asian History
Chris is my favorite history teacher of all time!
Dr. Marshall is a great prof and a great guy. Take him!
Chris is so funny and really tackles important issues, his class is "easy" but if you attend and listen you'll get an A.
I loved Dr. Marshall's class. He's very knowledgeable about history but also tells lots of great little stories that make the class fun. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
A must take for History. Great lecturer, tells great stories, never boring!
Had Chris for APSS 301 and he was a great professor! Very understanding and caring about stresses and workloads students have to deal with. He's definitely wild but very smart as well. Learned a lot in the class and glad I had him.
Hands down one of the best professors I've ever had. Dr. Marshall was an absolute blast to have as a teacher. Incredibly knowledgeable and charismatic. He really enjoys what he does and I think you will really enjoy his classes. If you decided to take a history class, take it with this guy!
Chris is one of the best at Stout. I'm a Construction Major and I learned more in his class than any in my major. Great guy!
He's one of the best!
Loved his class. Only complaint was missing it in person because of COVID!
I had Dr. Marshall during COVID (hybrid) and it was the only class I liked in the semester. Super understanding and gives interesting lectures.
Weekly writing assignments on most weeks, amazing lectures, super hilarious and makes history fun. Engages with students by providing personal anecdotes. Gives two weeks for midterm and final. Very flexible and you will not be bored! Is super knowledgeable and will answer any questions. gives feedback on all assignments
My favorite class at Stout. Dr. Marshall is the best history teacher I've ever had.
Professor Marshal is very good at engaging with the class in lectures and makes them funny and easy to look forward to. Super friendly and understanding.
I have disliked every history class I've taken. After taking this class, Dr. Marshall has kept me engaged and enjoyed attending class every time. Short writing assignments weekly that can be completed within a day if need be.
Professor Marshall is super interesting and keeps you engaged the whole time. he is also super knowledgeable about history. as for the class, only a few writing assignments and attendance isnt mandatory. I would definitely love to take all his classes so highly recommend.
This class is mainly lectures but Marshall makes it enjoyable. He's a great professor that cares about his students. There's few assignments and only two tests that are just essays. Attendance wasn't necessary but it was helpful to show up. I would 100% recommend this professor to anyone and I would take his classes again.
Marshall is a great professor to have. He is always trying his best to make the lectures fun and enjoyable. He will often go on rants but he rarely stays off topic for to long. Defiantly recommend taking him for any type of history class.
Super awesome professor. Knows a ton of history and is never boring. All writing assignments, but they're really doable and he's flexible with them. Take his class.
Dr Marshall is very fun in lectures and very knowledgeable in most areas that you may ask him. He is very available to meet outside of class and will make time to do so. assignments were easy, one weekly writing assignment and 2 3-4 page papers for midterms and finals. no attendance policy, but go to all the lectures you shouldn't need textbook
Really great lectures, very few opportunities for points but in the work that you do he is a very soft grader.
Chris is very passionate and knowledgeable about what he teaches, which makes his classes so much more interesting whether you like history or not. This course was fairly easy as far as homework goes, just a few papers as well as a midterm, research, and final paper, all of which you could get by with just material from his lectures.
Honestly, this is the best professor I think I've taken when it comes to lectures. The dude is passionate about his work, and is great at presenting the information!
One of my favorite professors. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field. Absolutely hilarious, made me laugh each class period. Only a few 1-2 page papers required for this class, and two 3 page papers for each exam. Attendance not mandatory. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Chris is an amazing professor. He is nice, respectful, and very easy to talk to or get a hold of. Sometimes he goes on short rants or stories but they're always related to the topic and personally I find them helpful to understand the material. His class is mostly lectures but coming from someone who hates lectures, I find them really interesting.
Dr. Marshall is great. Highly recommend for an easy A, and he's pretty funny and chill. Only 2 or 3 assignments altogether, usually 1-2 page double spaced papers that are easily researchable topics, plus a midterm and final which are a couple pages longer.
Chris is probably my favorite professor of all time; he is unironically hilarious, and every lecture is engaging and fun. He is passionate about the material, and you will learn so much intricate knowledge from him; I encourage everyone to take his courses. I have taken two and loved both.
Chris is one of my favorite professors of all time. He made every lecture enjoyable and fun; there was not a lecture where he did not make the whole class laugh. His grading criteria are extremely clear, and it is easy to meet his requirements on every assignment. If you put some effort into the writing, you will succeed.
the best history professor
Professor Marshall makes lectures engaging and enjoyable. With few assignments and flexible grading, the class is manageable. Attending helps, but isn't required. Unstuck study was a lifesaver for study prep.
My favorite professor that I've had at stout, his lectures are super entertaining, he is really funny, and he got me to care about history. His knowledge on history is astounding, he knows the answer to every question he is ever asked.
Probably my favorite class at Stout. Dr. Marshall taught history in a way that was never boring. I left the class feeling like I learned a lot. Highly recommend taking him!
