a very good teacher, genuinely cares about what he teaches and his students, wants them to be successful,fun and approachable

Intersting insights into Democratic foundations, lots of videos, I fell asleep almost every day but still managed an A-, maybe it was luck, STUDY the practice tests

Passionate about US history and the hand of a supreme being in it. Teaches using a lot of videos and Power Point presentations. class can be boring, but most test questions come directly from notes. logical people will find tests EZ, use practice exams

Great Teacher. Very passionate about subject. Teaches the material like it should be taught, from the standpoint of the forefathers of this nation.

Very helpful and knowledgable.Great teacher!!!

You will never find a teacher who cares more than Bro. Marshall. He may or may not be the best historian but he is the best teacher in this department bar none. You might say he has a passion for what he does ;)

Excellent Teacher who is passionate about what he teaches. Genuine with his students. Strongly recommend him for American Heritage.

Sounds like the Clear Eyes guy! Good class, good teacher. Very passionate, willing to help. Tests are easy- use common sense and practice tests. Lectures sometimes VERY boring.

Great guy wonderfully exciting teacher.

Good class, a little eccentric. He reminded me of Howard Dean. But he taught a good class

Good teacher but huge class. Definitely a good teacher if you like meaningful dialog during class between students and teacher

passionate about the subject and presents material the best he can for the class size. He really tries to make it as easy as possible and really wants the students to succeed I would reccomend him for American Heritage. I learned a ton about american history that I had not realized before.

very excited about subject

Brother Marshall is a very good teacher. He knows his stuff and is so willing to share it with others. He loves what he teaches and is very passionate. The class is big and he teaches it the best he can with so many students. He has a lot of wisdom to give.

He is so passionate and makes you feel excited about what he is teaching as well. I loved coming to class! The material could have been hard to understand but he made it simple and still interesting.

He is very down to earth, and pratical. He doesn't force his opinion on you and is very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him.

This class was a really helpful class to understand the history of American. He was a good teacher do the reading and you will do well and take your time on the tests and read all the questions carefully. You will get what you put in this class, don't skip it though!

I thought the class was easy, but he doesn't cut any slack. So stay up on it, he is not susseptable to sob stories. also if you paid attention in highschool government don't bother buying the book, you won't need it.

Very knowledgable teacher- knows more about american history than anyone else you will come across. Lectures are a tad dull, but if you study the outline in class you will do fine. He takes the test questions EXACTLY from the notebook. Attend lectures as he takes roll and do the practice exam before each test! Same questions, worded differenly

This class was great. I learned a ton and this teacher was always willing to help. Though there was work involved, it was all really important and totally worth while. Teaching the lower level college class was very beneficial in helping with a future t

Good teacher, but can get boring with his powerpoint presentations!

I really liked the class, it was challenging but we are in college and that's what it's about. Being challenged and learning new things. And he was really helpful despite all the people in the class who had trouble.

A good professor who really likes his subject. He's not for kids who don't like his subject. He sometimes get ahead of himself, though. If you study and show up however, you can pass no sweat.

He knows the material. The class is only boring if you're not interested. You must study for the tests.

Can be boring, but he knows his stuff. You can tell he's passionate about what he does. You have to study for the tests and it's demanding, but I learned a lot.

Bro. Marshall really knows his stuff. Really interesting material. Make sure you prepare for class. As long as you understand the CONCEPTS he is trying to teach instead of just memorizing answers, you will do just fine. I really liked the class. Got an A.

If you do the work, show up, and stay awake during class, you should breeze through it. He definitely knows what he is talking about, and likes to talk about it. I recommend him.

This teacher is smart but is boring a lot. He reads off of powerpoints and the class is so huge that you really dont learn anything. His tests are not so bad if you do the practice exams though and some of the reading questions are just common sense.

Love this guy. He's passionate about the topic, incorporates gospel stuff reasonably. People complained about his tests, but if you read and come to class you will have no problem. American Heritage with Marshall completely changed my outlook on the U.S. He teaches powerful stuff and believes it. Dont' take him if you don't want to take the class.

He was great i was always excited to go to his class

Loves teaching and is very willing to answer questions. Classes are big. Studing is required to get good grades on tests but he gives you exactly what to study.

Don't listen to the negative things written about this guy. He is super! Don't get me wrong, he is difficult, and that is why people have bad things to say. He has an exceptional knowledge of the subject and does an amazing job at teaching. I guess if you're a crazy liberal all the truth and logic taught would be hard to swallow. He's not partisan!

One of the greatest guys that you will ever meet. His American Her. class does consume a lot of time but it is well worth it. His classes are usually extremely large. He is one of the best teachers i have ever had.

Wow, Marshall's class was a tremendous foundation for me as I went into social science teaching. His understanding of the founding of our nation is unsurpassed and anyone even slightly interested in civics will find his class to be valuable. He is currently on an LDS mission and I'm not sure if he's coming back to teach or not. He's a gem.

Brother Marshall is an amazing teacher. He knows a lot about history and loves America. I have learned so much from him this semester. I have never been a huge fan of US History but he made it interesting and enjoyable. As long as you pay attention in class the tests are not too hard. Highly Recommended!

Has an excellent knowledge of material. Which makes sense, considering he specially made the textbook for the class. Has a very lecturing style (meaning he doesn't follow the learning model). If you do well with lectures, he's the teacher for you. If you have at least the IQ of cheese, do your homework, and listen in class, you should do well.

I really enjoy Bro. Marshall's class. He is a funny guy. He really has a passion for the subject. I didn't really enjoy Amer. history but, Bro. Marshall really has helped me to understand the importance of the Founding Fathers and our Constitution. Highly recommend. His tests aren't too hard, if you do the hw diligently you'll do fine on the tests.

Brother Marshall is an amazing teacher. I am not a huge fan of history, but he really gets you excited about it since he is so passionate about the subject himself. The tests are way hard if you slack off, but if you pay attention in class and study you will be fine. I would take another class from him if the opportunity arises.

Bro Marshall is WAY hard on his test so unless you are way good at test taking then don't take this class. I am barely passing because all he has are test and no assignments. 5 tests for the semester. He is fun and knows his stuff and expects you to LOVE history like he does. If you love history then he is for you but not for me.

I really enjoyed Bro Marshal for BOM. His class is way easy and all you have are simple assignments that make you think about what you are reading. It really helped me look at the BOM in a different way. He has good discussions. No tests :) Easy A

He has such a passion about what he is teaching, & it really shows. I learned so much from him, & if I read what we went over in class right before the test I always got an A because it's covered in all of that material.He doesn't try to trick you in his tests. Either you know the information or you don't, & most of it is common knowledge.Loved it!

Brother Marshall was a lot of fun! not only did he have a deep passion and understanding of the material he was very motivated in trying to help everyone learn the material too. He made himself available for any questions and did his best to explain things. Everything on his tests came straight from the reading.

I had brother marshall for religion and the information is really interesting, and his tests are easy if you just do the outline that he gives you. if you don't, they will be really hard. he lectures the whole time on the reading you had the previous day, so if you want to get anything out of it, its up to you.

Doesn't take student comments.Knowledgeable but boring about it.Assignments are relatively easy but he won't go over the answers.You mark your own attendance and grade your reading and assignments.I had him Tue/Thur and I skipped every Tue and didn't miss a thing.It did lower my grade, though.There is no class discussion.I texted the entire class!

If you really pat attention to what Brother Marshall is saying you will learn a lot. He loves America and is passionate that we learn to love it too. However, his tests are very hard, I started studying a week prior to tests, but if you put forth the effort you will see a positive outcome.

He has studied the material and knows his stuff, however sometimes he has difficulty sticking to the topic at hand. Lots of times he tries to push his own fatalist, political agenda, but overall a good professor. Sometimes he gets emotional teaching about the founding fathers. It's kinda funny.

He is hard, but if you like history hes the one to take. He has a real passion for it and want his students to too.

Brother Marshall is one of my favorite teachers because he teaches the truth, and he gives it to you straight and undiluted. I loved his tests because he didn't believe in "any of this 'choose the MOST correct answer' business." He said, "either it's right, or it's wrong!" And they were just like that- black and white- like Brother Marshall.

He is definately one of my favorite Professors. He teaches what you need to know with clarity, gives you the material you need and tests you on it. If you go to class, listen and read the material he gives you, it is honestly an easy class.

I loved bro marshall. Sure he lectures and expects you to read a ton but he knows his stuff. he might seem like he doesn't care about your opinions but he does, sorry he's smarter then you.

bro. marshall is very passionate about his topic. very helful. he only does lectures and movies. does not follow the learning model at all, which i liked. the only grade you get is your tests and a small fraction is attendance. i think the tests were pretty common sense but did require studying. if you go to class and read the book you'll be fine.

Marshall is an awesome teacher. He gets really into his lessons and enjoys what he's teaching. He will answer any questions you have and is very helpful if you are struggling. I would definitely recommend him as an American Foundations teacher.

Bro marshall is a very passionate guy when he teaches. he loves what he does and is VERY educated on what he is teaching. if you have questions he is willing to answer no doubt about that. The final grade in the class is whatever you get on 5 hard exams and thats it. a lot of reading and he is very strict to his textbook.would recommend someone els

Bro marshall loves what he does (he wont ever miss a class)and is VERY educated on what he is teaching. loves questions. The final grade in the class is whatever you get on 5 hard exams and thats it. a lot of reading and he is very strict to his textbook.would recommend someone else

You don't even need to do all the readings! just study before each test. He loves what he teaches. He is not boring. Highly Recommend!

One of my favorite teachers by far. A very knowledgeable, helpful and personable man who loves this country, school, and church. He KNOWS HIS STUFF, trust me. He is one of those few teachers that make me feel that BYUI is a legit college, not some souped up high school.He is preparing world leaders in his class,people who think and know true values

DO NOT sleep during class and DO NOT miss class. If you pay attention to what he goes over during class and if you read a little and study you will do fine in this class. You have to bring yourself to care a little about the topic or you will hate it the whole time! Kind hearted man that LOVES his counrty!

Brother Marshall is an AMAZING American Foundations Teacher. He knows SO much about this country, and is so passionate. He gives you study guides and really wants you to succeed. Your grade is only the average of 5 tests all semester. No homework except to read. He inspired me to become a History Major. TAKE HIS CLASS!! :)

He's the most fair history teacher I've ever had or met. He's energetic and enthusiastic. He keeps things clear and let's you know how it is. He doesn't impose his views, and encourages us to do well. The class was moderately hard, but it was possible to do well.

This was one of the most worthwhile classes and teachers I've ever taken. Bro. Marshall has studied and thoroughly understands the subject. He presented the material as fact and was unbiased. The founding of America and the concepts of the constitution took on so much greater meaning to me in his class. Highly suggested!!!

Bro Mashall wants you to get a good grade and is fair. There isn't busy work, he just wants you to really understand the concept. Go to class and pay attention. Study for the tests with study guides and strive to understand the concept and you should do fine on the test. He's good to answer questions too. Way worth my time.

Brother Marshall is an awesome teacher! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone for American Foundations. He taught me so much and I desired to know the information for the tests because it helped me. He is awesome! Take this class from him! He does have his own opinion, but he tells you when it's his opinion.

ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I HAVE EVER HAD. He loves what he does, he makes class interesting. The Spirit is present in his classes even though it's not a religion class. I have learned so much. You can ace his tests if you just pay attention in class. No homework assignments or group work. TAKE THIS CLASS FROM BRO. MARSHALL AND NOBODY ELSE!

I was not that interested in taking this class, and I was not looking forward to taking this class before going. Now, this is one of my favorite classes ever! Brother Marshall teaches by the spirit. Some people feel he is very opinionated, but he is very learned and is just honest with us. He is an amazing professor. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

Only bases you grades from 5 tests thats it. tests are extremely hard! if your not good at taking test dont take this teacher

BEST professor i've seriously ever had. You only get graded on like 5 tests, but if you study and ask for help..you can get all A's no problem..he's SO smart and has given me perspective i've never had before. GREAT class..especially cuz i wasn't looking forward to it at all.

Great teacher, he wrote the text book and the tests so he gives you more insight than other teachers who use his book. Grade is based off attendence and 5 tests. Study and the tests are easy.

Class is based on 5 tests and attendance. 75% of the questions on every test can be answered with common sense. This class isn't too difficult if you can study effectively and remember some details. I put in about 2-3 hours of studying for every test and was able to pull off an A with ease.

Awesome!! All you have to do is show up and read the book. No homework and only 5 tests. He really knows his stuff!

Awesome!! All you have to do is show up and read the book. No homework and only 5 tests. He really knows his stuff!

This guy is beyond intelligent! He is so awesome, he wrote the textbook that we use. it's fill in the blank and he lectures on it. Going to class is mandatory. After a few absences your grade decreases. There's like 4 or 5 tests and that is how you're graded.

A real American and most valuable class I've taken in terms of things that will help me now and in my later life. A good example and testimony builder. He cares.

I loved this class. He is very passionate, and really know what he is talking about. He deeply cares about the students, and tries to help everyone succeed. The things he teaches are fascinating, and highly applicable. He is challenging, but you come away feeling like you learned alot. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Took Bro. Marshall for American Foundations and loved/hated it. Super difficult class but rewarding if you put in the effort. You HAVE to study and fill in the blanks in the textbook or you won't do well on the tests. He wrote the textbook that is used in class, he's way smart and passionate. I nodded off a lot because it got boring sometimes.

I LOVED Brother Marshall. I don't understand why people think he is difficult. I could have easily passed his class without attending lecture. His tests may appear difficult. But you have any brains about you at all you can reason your way easily through them without cracking the book. Love him as a person. Really lovely teacher overall.

Great teacher. very enthusiastic. Show up to class and do the work and you'll do well. Exams aren't too hard if you study well.

Bro. Marshall is a wonderfuly versed scholar. He is very passionate about what he teaches and that was best part of this class. The class is super easy. But keep in mind that it requires a lot of thinking. I loved his teaching style, it was simply right for me. However, he has too many students to personaly help everyone in his classes.

Marshall is a great guy on a personal level, but this course is unpleasant. His assignments are nearly impossible to complete. He openly criticizes students in class. Many student flunk assignments just because they are given too much to do in too little time. This would be an excellent experience, if not for the arrogant amount of work.

Bro. Marshall is phenomenal! His goal is to help you learn and understand all he teaches. He is only hard for some because he makes you think and evaluate what you are being taught. I would definitely recommend taking his class. If you wish to learn, that is.

Brother Marshall is very passionate. I love his use of his self-written textbook with the fill in the blank study approach. However, sometimes I feel he becomes too passionate and teaches opinions instead of facts. He often states "not trying to get political here" and then says something highly opinionated anyway. Still, great teacher overall.

One of the best teachers I've EVER had. He's super passionate, and has studied this subject his whole life, and knows everything there is to know about it. We used the textbook on a daily basis. If you don't study, you won't do well. I didn't get a super good grade, but I still thought the class was phenomenal! TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!

Excellent teacher! Very well read, and uses what he has studied and watched in his personal time to enhance the class. Class could be difficult for those who do not like to read/ put in effort. Bro. Marshall is spot on with the things he teaches comparative to today's times.

Bro. Marshall is an awesome teacher. You can tell he loves what he is teaching and loves teaching the students. study and you can do good. He keeps his views open for all political parties and answers questions as honestly and unbiased as possible. I loved this class!

He's awesome! I loved this class. He knows so much, and just loves what he teaches. I had a big question that really bugged me, and nobody could give me a satisfying answer, but He did. Study daily, and you'll get an A. He's great.

He was an awesome teacher. He's really passionate about what he teaches. Really smart and definitely knows what he's talking about. Never had to hand in an assignment, just keep up on the reading and study hard and you'll get an A

Brother Marshall is an excellent teacher. He knows his history! I have learned so much from his class but it does take a lot of work to do well on the tests. There are only 5 tests in the entire semester and that's all your grade is based on pretty much. He is a great teacher if you are willing to study!

Brother Marshall is an awesome teacher! He teaches with great passion and instills a desire to learn in his students. He always answers any questions you may have in the best way he can. There are only 5 tests, no assignments, and if you pay attention in class and study they are easy. Overall, AMAZING TEACHER!!! I didn't want this class to end!

Gary Marshall is one of the best teachers I have had. I definitely recommend getting him for American Foundations. He will get you excited about history where others may bore you to death. He is amazing.

Brother Marshall is such a great teacher. He has a passion for teaching the history of our nation. I would recommend anyone to take his class. His class is not EASY but in any course you will only get out what you put in. Anyone can have an A in his class

Good teacher. Lecture style class. Focused on the constitution mostly. No assignments-grade based on tests. I didn't do well in the class because I don't learn well with his teaching style, but he knows his history very well. Writes his own text book each semester - can't sell it back.

American Foundations became my favorite class because of this guy -- he is a very wise man and he knows basically EVERYTHING about american history (he WROTE the textbook). I really enjoyed attending his class and it was amazing how much he wanted to tell us about History as it relates to the gospel in the United States. Very good teacher.

WOW! Great man who knows what he is teaching. The comments on here aren't all valid. I only got A's on his tests and a 100% on one of them. It takes work but as long as you try and spend an hour a class period studying the notes (which he gives you... you just fill in the blanks and don't need to wonder what to study) then you'll do great! LOVE HIM

Bro. Marshall is a proficient in his field, but many of his ideas presented in class are entirely subjective. But you'll do well to take his tests with only HIS perspective in mind. This class was very informative in regards to our Church's view of America's history. Don't know if I'd re-take it from him though. GO TO CLASS.

Fantastic class! the whole grad is based on 5 tests but as long as you actually read all the material and study it a bit they are a breeze. Highly reccommend him, you will learn SOO much in his class!!! He really knows his stuff and actually cares.

Brother Marshall is a great teacher! His grading is tough (main grade is 5 tests throughout semester, no assignments!) but if you listen in class and do a little reading, the tests are a piece of cake. You absolutely get out what you put into this class. Great man. Funny too. Highly recommended.

I personally have a a lot of respect for Bro. Marshall. His teaching style is excellent and he does a great job at explaining the history of our nation. Just make sure to invest time and effort in reading the textbook and you will do good on his exams. He truly is a wonderful man and I very much like him as a professor.

Bro. Marshall knows a lot but I felt like it was just to much. He only has you take five tests, no quizzes just tests. Everything else he asks you to do is your decision but if you don't do it definitely expect to fail the class. You can't get the textbook from someone who has already taken the class, he changes it every year.

I loved Brother Marshall. He's not easy, you have to work for your grade, but I actually learned something in that class. Contrary to others claims you don't have to memorize a lot of facts, YOU JUST GOTTA DO THE READING! Pay attention to his lectures, attend class, and do your reading and you'll easily succeed in his class.

Honestly, all the people that say that Bro Marshall doesn't care about his students or that you have to think just like him in order to do well are ignorant. I just went to class and paid attention, didn't do ANY out of class reading and I got an A. Don't go trying to memorize facts, try to understand the principles he teaches and you'll do fine

Bro. Marshall is amazing. I was so scared to take his class & almost dropped- SO glad I didn't. Class was interesting & I love the textbook. You fill it in as you go, which helps you stay alert. I would do daily reading and then spend the day before the test reading all of the chapters, then I would skim again right before the test. I got an A+ :)

Brother Marshall is amazing! Your grade is based of the tests, but they are not even that hard. You just have to make sure you do the reading before class and pay attention during class. Class discussions are the best! You learn so much! I totally recommend him!

Marshall is kind of old-school. He assigns a lot of reading, but honestly, if you pay attention to the parts he highlights during class and really go over the exam reviews, you'll do fine on his (lengthy) exams. All your grade is based on is 4 exams, 4 or 5 assignments and attendance.

Go to class + pay attention + read the text + study hard + don't be an entitled complainer = success in Brother Marshall's class. Not difficult. Brother Marshall encouraged class discussions when questions arose. Thought this teacher was great.

I truly enjoyed his class. I really liked how he brought the gospel into almost every lecture. This was not a hard class, but it was not an easy A. Do the reading, go to class, and study and you should be able to get an A in the class.

Brother Marshall is a great professor. He is vey patient about his class and makes everything very clear and understandable. He is a lecture class. Your grade depends on your exam scores and the many absences you have. He will give you everything you need to know for the exam, you just need to study on your part. He is more than happy to help!

Brother Marshall is very passionate about history. I've learned so much in this class. His teaching style may not suit everyone but I found it helpful. It is a tough class but I have enjoyed it.

I loved Bro. Marshall. I loved that he was clear from the beginning what would be on tests. You basically had all the questions already written out along with the answers with his own written chapters you print out for class! No other teacher I've had has done that. His tests were a bit wordy but I learned a ton in his class. I thought he was great

His lectures are interesting, and informative. I find it funny reading the other reviews. They complain about a lot of reading umm 8-15 pages twice a week is a lot of reading??? Also only a few assignments later on in the semester. Not difficult, had my spouse take practice exam, without any studying missed one question. Ignore those who complain

Both me and my brother took him, I love him, my brother hated him. I think he is a great guy and extremely passionate about what he teaches. He made it interesting to learn. He has been one of my favorite teachers since I have been here. His tests were pretty easy IF you read what he tells you and if you pay attention in class. Its that simple.

Brother Marshall is a very passionate teacher. He really cares about the subject and expects you to get as much out of it as possible. He don't give much homework but his test are very hard and if you skip class you will NOT pass. He is easy to talk to but he really makes you work for you grade. Loved the lectures but hated the tests!
