Marshall is great. He's kinda nerdy, but he is very clear and creates study guides for all 3 tests. You don't even have to buy the book to get an A in his class! Know the study guide and you'll get an A.
He made history come alive. I enjoyed all the assignments and retained the info, since he offers an excellent study guide. There is limited time to cover so much material, but he gets the important facts covered. I highly recommend him for this class!
The teacher loves history and it shows!The lectures are very interesting and hold almost everything that will be on the exam.If you’re not missing classes you will do very well. Exams are not tricky, but require preparation: spend some time reading your notes and chapters from the book.
Marshall's class is awesome. You can get a B without buying the book, but if you want an A, buy it! He is very clear and his expectations are laid out from day one. I took him for 101 and 102, and he was great!
Best teach at palomar. His test were challenging, but he was so into history that he made all of his students interested too. The lessons are never boring because he always has interesting facts he adds to increase the interest. Take Marshall, he his definitely worth it.
best history teacher at palomar college
Excellent teacher! I went into this class hating history, and left loving it. He made history come alive and his lectures were actually very interesting. His tests are pretty hard, but he's worth taking
A very good professor. It was a pleasure to attend his lectures. He was always very well prepared and knowledgeable. He has good structure and study aids and it is apparent that this man loves what his does. Thanks for your dedication.
Best teacher I had to take him again i if you hate history he will make you love it he is kind and thoughtful never will i ever have a profesor like him again he was truly a pleasurable experiance if you study hard and never miss class you will get an A. Do projects early take this class fasttrac go
Best teacher I have ever had. Easy class. He makes history really come alive. He gives a lot of hints about what questions will be on the test. I would recommend this class to everyone. Wish i had this teacher for every class.
Really relaxed. He knows that people don't favor history but he has to teach it. He gives you extra time to turn in papers. But there is other reading (two other books) involved, but as long as you know about the subject you'll be fine.
He is a great professor and great at teaching. His tests are great and he actually covers the information he puts on the test. You learn a lot of great things and interesting information...ask him about C.S.A. Quartermaster...eating recycled corn...
Marshall is the best teacher. Absolutely loved his class. Every lesson was like one big story time. Got an A without even buying the text book. He made even the British history interesting. Best History class I've ever taken. (Hey Marshall, I upped your hotness for ya.)
Prof Marshall was pretty awesome. He makes it comfy in the class and he teaches it to you in an interesting way. He rocks. (I upped the hottness level for you too, Marshall! =-P your wife will be proud!)
It doesn't matter if you are interested in history when first coming to class, by the end you will be enthralled by it. Thanks for being a great teacher.
Prof. Marshall is an excellent teacher. He gives out helpful study guides for the exams and gives hints on whats going to be on the exam. He gives many opportunities for extra credit that helps with your grade. I really enjoyed his class.
Truly an awesome professor. I thought 3 hours of history would drive me insane. But I ended up enjoying it. He is very knowledgable, helpful, and a history....expert? take this class, it's good
Great Teacher!
this guy is the man i thought that hist was going to be so boring but it was my fav class. I wish this guy taught every subject. take his class!!! i am genious now!!
I took this class after getting a poor grade from another professor (Bower). It was SO much better this time around. He knows how to teach history so it's very understandable. I think I learned more in his class than I ever have about history. He gets a lot accomplished during the semester, but it's not a chore, you will really enjoy learning it!
Mr. Marshall is one of the best professors I've ever had. He makes history interesting, throwing in tidbits to make the people you're learning about real, not just names. He's great at making sure you understand - he doesn't move too quickly - he's just awesome. Take his class!!
Best and hottest professor on the campus. I got an A in the class without buying a book. You get a lot of extra credit, and you get study guide for every exam. I highly recomend him for any student who wants to get an A. Also his class is fun and NOT boring at all. Prefossor Marshall you are the hottest professor I've ever seen.
Marshall is the best teacher I've ever had. He takes a subject that you hate and makes it enjoyable. You don't have to know any dates. It's all about people. He teaches history but makes it seem like he's just telling a story. It was fun and educational.
Mr. Greg Marshall was a great professor. All you have to do is go to class and take notes and you get an A in the class. He's funny too. He loves history and makes you love it too. By the way, Mr. Marshall, you should go to wikipedia.org and fix up the page on the Progressive Era.
FANTASTIC TEACHER! Greg is probably the best teacher I've had at Palomar. He explains history VERY clearly and makes it interesting ... he throws in some humor & a few interesting movies. He is very clear on what he expects from you. Three tests, three major papers & a few extra credit options make up your grade - no homework. Take this class!
Mr. Marshall is the best! Like the last person said; he makes history interesting and less overwhleming. Tons of extra credit opportunity & he hands out a study guide before every test- very straightforward about what will be on the tests. Interesting, Informative & Knowlegable. Take all your history with Mr. Marshall! :)
Good teacher. You will know what exactly what to study for the tests. Writing assignments are easy. Easy grader. Do not take a different professor.
He gives out OK tests, but he offers lots of extra credits. You need to do all of the assignments and most of the extra credits, especially the ones that are worth a lot. Also, you need to read the book.
This guy is great, very enteresting and funny. I find his classes better than going to a movie and you will remember the subject matter because he always had you laughing.
the greatest history teacher ever. you remember everything in his class. you watch movies, talk and laugh in class. the tests are not that hard. just have to study. he follows the book along to make it easy and interesting. take this class with him.
This is the best teacher I have ever had!! There is so much to learn from him. I have never learned so much in a history class, and still remember it later on! He is super smart and more than helpful!! I was sick for a test and he was very sympathetic and made it so easy for me to make up.
If you dont like history and have to take it, TAKE HIM!!! I took him for History 101 & 102. He's very approachable, very helpful. He teaches like he's telling a story and keeps you wanting to know/learn more. One of the best teachers at Palomar!
He gives clear lectures, you get a study guide for the tests, anything and everything on the test (except maybe the extra credit question) will be on this study guide, I just jumped on wikipedia w/ the guide, didn't buy a book because other ratings here recommended not too but he still recommends it. The class isn't boring at all, goes by fast.

Best history teacher ever. You will not regret taking his class. His lectures are fun and entertaining and he doesn't bog you down with lots of reading. I wish I could take his class again.
Best History teacher!!! Coming into this class I was horrible at history..after having marshall he changed my mind completely. I now actually enjoy the subject and I passed the class with a B+ He offers a lot of extra credit so that if you don't test well you can always make up for it.I recomend Marshall for sure!!
Mr Marshall is the BEST teacher at Palomar! He is hilarious and makes class a lot of fun. He is a very understanding teacher who wants to see his students do well.. Also, attendance is NOT mandatory.. YOU MUST TAKE HIM!
If you struggle in History this is the class your you. He's great!
Marshall is the real deal, among the best at Palomar. Presents history as stories of people and how they lived, not dates and trivia answers. Provides enthusiastic lectures, excellent whiteboard notes, videos, EC, and complete study guides for all tests. All good students of American history should know not to buy any NEW textbook for his class.
He was a great teacher and truly loves teaching history. He was able to answer just about every question that a student would ask. He is very upbeat and never monotone-- keeps the class very interesting. He'll let you ask any question that you want prior to the test and will even give you great test review sheet. 1 of the best teachers I ever had.
This guy is the man!!! his lectures are interesting and he really loves teaching history. Test arent hard if you pay attention to the lectures and use the study guiude. take his class
absolutely the best teacher i've ever had for history. If you want a great class, this is the man!
An excellent history professor. Professor Marshall made the subject incredibly interesting and I had no trouble staying awake for a 3 hour course on a Friday night, and actually looked forward to his animated lectures. Adorable little boys.
By far best teacher I've had... I was actually disappointed when I missed a class!!!
HAHAHAHA. this guy is the best, and most entertaining teacher ive had. he makes history funny, interesting, and applies history to our lives today...in a halarious manner. all in all,he is a superb teacher.
Great Professor. I came into the semester thinking this was going to be my most boring class but it turned out to be the most interesting class I had. I would definitely recommend taking his class. You won't be sorry.
I had very little interest in History before taking Professor Marshall's class, but he made it so interesting. He keeps the class entertained and I actually remember most of the stuff that I've learned. I am definitely leaving this class feeling like I have gained something.
By far the best history teacher ive ever had. he makes history actually fun and tells the best stories. he's pretty funny too! such a nice guy, very sincere. pretty easy just go to class, you'll enjoy it, if you miss a class it's ok just get the notes from someone.
Greg Marshall is by far the BEST teacher for history out there. i am one of those people that can stand history, but as long as u go to class and pay attention and add to the slide show notes, and study for an hour or 2 maybe less, you will pass this class. he has 2 papers 1 2pg movie project, another 3-7pg book review.
Greatest teacher ever to exist on the PLANET! I took both classes 101 and 102 and both were extremely interesting!!! Every person who takes his class will truly be a better person for having done so... Finally a teacher who is passionate about what he teaches! Give this man 10 chili peppers cause he is hott!!!!!
Great teacher, if you go to class and pay attention you WILL GET AN A. Its not hard to either, his lectures are actually interesting and his stories are great. Lots of extra credit opportunities and projects aren't too bad. DEFINITELY TAKE HIM !!
Really nice guy! his class is pretty easy and if you can not make a class he is very understanding. i highly recomend taking his class. he is a bit of a history nerd and its kinda funny.
He is a great teacher... his tests are super easy if you listen to his lectures. Very few homework assignments. great teacher, i highly recomend
If you are contemplating taking this class.. definetely take it. He is an excellent professor. His enthusiasm for the subject makes the class very interesting. I think that I have actually learned more about history in this one semester than I have my entire life. He is by far one of the best professors I have had yet.
Until this class I hated history as all the names and dates were just that to me. He made the founding fathers come to life as real people with faults and loves. Go to class everyday and he will draw you into actually loving history!
This teacher is very nice. He has good lectures. Good extra credit opportunities and don't care if you don't show up all the time. The best history teacher I've had. Take him for sure!
Greg Marshall is an exceptional History teacher. His speech is clear and he is very accommodating towards students that care about their grade. The tests are not stressful. He is good humored and has a great personality. One book review, two historical film critiques and four tests are the biggest grade factors. A very knowledgeable History man.
Great teacher with an awesome personality. Down to earth, forgiving and loves to help students find ways to pass. Know his history extremely well, never boring. Definite Recommendation.
Really good teacher! Seriously, teaches things in a fun and have to say refreshing way. I am really happy I got a change to take his class. I only used my notes to study for the exams and it worked.
DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET THIS PROFESSOR. HE'S THAT GOOD!
He was a good teacher, the only complaint is he procrastinates grades alot! He didn't have the grades up until the last week of the semester. And he hasn't updated final grades yet. Other than that, he was interesting, enthusaistic, and really wants you to pass.
awsome class!! you will enjoy.
Mr. Marshall is a great teacher. He brings history to life in his presentations and emphasizes the importance of the events that effect the world today. I recommend him for HIST 101 & 102!
SUCH a great teacher. I was always bored and lost in history, but since this class I'm considering it as a major. Some people complained of long lectures, but listening will give you an easy A on the test. Stresses facts that will be on the test, and is always happy to elaborate. Lazy grader-but makes sure you know the right answer.Favoriteprof. ev
Best teacher ever. I'd take every class available with him but unfortunately I already took the other classes he teachers with other profs. Highly recommended.
Best teacher ever. This guy is extremely helpful, very nice and ridiculously knowledgeable about anything and everything. As someone who has generally hated school, I honestly looked forward to this class every week. My only regret is having taken 102 with someone else.
Greg Marshall is an awesome professor!! I would totally recommend him to any student. Attendance is mandatory! You have 3 exams, to include your final, and one paper that you can swap out by attending a battle reenactment. He is a must!!
He's my favorite! He's super nice and makes the class interesting. Don't bother buying the text book- you'll never use it.
Great Professor! Great story teller.I have learned alot in his class and he kept me interested in the information. I highly recommend this class!
Took him for 101 and again for 102. Amazing teacher, incredibly informative and interesting.
good class. very interesting.
Now I would think, that all good students of American History, would do everything they could to get this professor!
First of all he looks just like Jim Gaffigan! Marshall is a really funny, easy going professor. He has all the lecture slides on blackboard which makes it easy to study. He has a way of tying current events and pop culture into history which makes it easy to learn. Basically, you show up, you take notes, you study, you get an A.
This teacher is awesome. He keeps you interested and focused on the topic. My only complaint is test taking format! You gotta really take good notes and study hard in order to pass his tests!
This teacher is a nice guy! Very kind and helpful! He even has extra help on blackboard to help study for test! The only issue is he test format. His test are kind of hard. I think I could've done better if his test were easier. But you really gotta study what he lectures & know your stuff in order to pass his test! I wish I could take him again, b
Awesome teacher. Definitely one of my favorites I've ever had, and he makes history much more interesting than others i've had. Go Cardinals!
He really wants you to succeed and easily makes history interesting and fun=EASY A. Most test questions are from lectures. Tests are matching, fill-in, short answer and an essay. Some say his tests are hard, but I found they were anything but. With his teaching style it's easy to remember and understand events. GREAT Professor! Plus He's super Hot!
The best teacher ever for History!!! Loved his teaching style, he makes it easy to follow and fun at the same time. I hated history before this class but not now.
Greg Marshall is a wonderful teacher. He loves his subject and he teaches it so enthusiastically. He teaches with powerpoints, and he also records the lectures and puts it on Blackboard as supplements. I took him for Hist 100 @ Palomar, and I was so glad to find out he teaches the second half at MiraCosta when I switched.
He is AMAZING!!!! When we were finished with the second exam, he told us that he was going to give us our tests back the next class. But he didn't. So because of that, he let us use our notes for the third test! When there is a point we need to know, he will say "good students of American history should know this". He is so amazing. And he is entertaining and he helps anyone that needs it. He is a great professor all around.
I LOVE MR. MARSHALL!!!! He is amazing and made me love history even more than I already do. When you go to class it's like he is telling a story instead of lecturing about history. He will make you learn to love history if you don't already! TAKE HIM!!!
HE IS DEF. AN AMAZING TEACHER! I WOULD RECOMMEND G. MARSHALL TO ANYONE WHO LOVES HISTORY, OR HATES IT, CUZ EITHER WA, YOULL ENJOY THIS CLASS. HE MAKES CLASS SUPER EASY, AND GIVES A LOT OF XTRA CREDIT. YOU'D HAVE TO BE STUPID TO FAIL THIS CLASS. HE'S THE BEST.. NO JOKE :)
Excellent Professor for history. Shows Enthusiasm for his subject. He tells you what will be on the exam up front.If you study,do your work, and show up to class you will pass with A. The only problem I had is he is slow with grading ,but he makes up for it. Overall Outstanding professor. Would highly recommend to any student.
Mr. Marshall is a awesome and nice teacher. He really cares for the student and wants his to have a clear understanding of the material. If your looking for a easy class, but one that you will understand well i suggest taking History 101 and 102 with him.
Wow. I NEVER would have thought that I could actually enjoy a history class but by the end of the semester it was my favorite class. He offers a ton of extra credit but I didn't do any and still got an A. Fairly easy tests and only 3 projects/papers. Best. Class. Ever.
Best teacher I've ever had. Took a night summer class specifically to take him again even though I said I never would. Makes the subject fun and easy to understand and made me actually enjoy coming to class. Recommend him for any class, both 101 and 102.
He is a really good proffessor, i don't like history, but his lectures were interesting... Also, he is probably the easiest professor you will ever meet.
Awesome teacher. 2 easy papers, 3 easy exams (drops lowest score) & a mandatory final, plenty of extra credit opportunities. Explains topics clearly. Tells you EVERYTHING that will be on the test prior to exam day. Has funny stories and jokes to keep the class entertaining. Minimal effort will get an A.
This class is great! He's very clear with the topics and it's all through powerpoint! So you can print out the lectures so it's easier. Also, there are audio lectures for each topic, so it really helps if you missed a class or not paying attention during class. :)
He is good, but he does not answers the emails properly that is very important for student who take online even in class
I have absolutely no interest in History and therefore it's extremely hard for me. I've dropped Hist twice and third time I was lucky to find him. He kept the class and learning fun and easy. He makes sure you learn the material and still challenges you. He has audio lectures on his site as well as Power point lectures! He rocks!
I find history so boring that i failed with another teacher, but wow, with Mr. Marshall it was a whole new experience! His excitement with history was captivating, and class time felt like story-time. Story time on history characters that is. Easy grader, 4 tests, M/C & essay questions, taken right from study guide! He made me love history!
Best History Teacher I've ever had! I learned a lot in his class.. study guides are very helpful and it helps to print out his power point lectures ahead..Take him! He's awesome!!!
This teacher is amazing!!!! has alot of passion for what he teaches. He opens your eyes to the reality of history. gives study guides that make tests very doable. Take him!! you will not regret it. I got an A in both his classes
Such an easy class, thanks to the teacher. Super clear as to expectations and is very approachable. Aids in helping students & in our class cut a lot of assignments down.
Mr.Marshall is truly AMAZING, make your schedule work so you take his class, because he is a must. He loves what he does which translates to the student. He is a HUGE St Louis Cardinals fan so when they do good, your grades do good; no joke! i was fortunate to have them win the WORLD SERIES,he let use our notes on Final.He Freely gives Extra Credit
Marshall is great.He made my first semester in college amazing.He LOVES the ST.Louis Cardinals.Gives out extra credit to save your grade.There has not been one class so far in the semester where he has not cracked some type of joke.And because the Cardinals won the world series, we have an open note final!Seriously, just take his class.
He is a great teacher. Every clear and straight forward with the assignments. Power point presentations for every class that you can get from Blackboard and follow along. He makes history interesting.
Most incredible teacher I have ever had! He is so passionate about the subject and you cant help but become interested. He made history extremely fun and tells stories which makes it easier to remember important events. you are NOT REQUIRED TO REMEMBER DATES! Exams are very heavy on short answer & essays but if you like writing it will be easy! (:
Hes the best teacher I have ever had. Hes always in a good mood. Makes it clear what you need to know. Take notes, assignments take time, but there only a couple of them. Show up, take notes, do the assignments. You will be fine! Hes a great teacher, easy to learn from!
i loved this teacher he was wonderful!!! he tells you exactly what you need to know for the test!! he is really good at making his own personal experiences relate to boring history in the end i promise you will walk out liking history :) hope you get to take his class in the future....
Awesome professor! He wants you to succeed in his class and will let you know during his presentations when important topics that will be on tests by saying "All Good Students of American History should know...". He's very understanding as well and you'll probably be more interested in history than you were before taking this class with him.
His class is easy & you never have to memorize dates for the tests. Even better than that is that he makes class interesting. I used to hate history, but now I actually enjoy it. One day in class, he had a video and had the class vote to watch the video or have a lecture. Lecture won by a long shot. I doubt anyone else could've had the same result.
Take him for History 101 and 102....and for any other history classes he teaches. The best professor I have ever had.
Excellent teacher! All his lectures are on blackboard, it makes it easier to get a good grade. Really a good class, lots of extra credit!
the best teacher ever.I am not history fan , but he made me a fan . he love history and he will make love it too, easy test ,everything on the test is from the notes. if you want to take history he is the one
Took US History 101and102 He is one of my favorite teachers ever!! extremely friendly, His assignments are simple and you get credit as long as he sees you put effort in them! Study Guide he gives will help a lot on the tests of matching and multiple choice and I think one Essay question but as long as you pay attention you can pass! I passed w/A's
He was such an amazing teacher. Very understanding and always gave extra credit on different occasions. He was never boring and funny. I would say he was the best teacher at Palomar so far
Best professor I've had at palomar
not too much HW and lectures were intersting
Even if you don't need a history class....TAKE IT WITH MARSHALL! He will change your life and your perspective on history, especially if you think history is boring. Incredible professor and person in general. YOU WILL LEARN SOMETHING! and it will be fun! :) Best professor I have ever had. Just take good notes and pay attention
Great Teacher, he makes you want to learn. Wish he taught all subjects. :-)
COOL PROFESSOR. RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE
Great professor overall. He made our class way better.
Mr. Marshall Is One Of The Best History Professors You Will Have In Your UnderGrad Studies At Georgian Court University. History Majors Are Pushed To Become Better Historians And Perfect The Craft Of This Subject. You Will Have 4 Exams And You Must Study For Them, You Will Pass If You Put The Work In.
Professor Marshall by far is the best teacher i ever had. He is such a sweet and understating man. He offers lots of XCredit. Follow the power points & take notes, read the chapters, he pretty much tells you what you need to know for exams. 2 essays 3-5pgs. 3 exams. No quizzes and super easy HW if you read the chapter. He is just AWESOME!!
