Great teacher! He will do just about anything he can to help you! Made class both fun and easy! Take him, you won't regret it!

New professor, but for his first offering an excellent effort. Helpful. Not going to kill a GPA at any level.

Scott Marler is fantastic, he is excited about the material and knowledgeable as well. He's not hard on the eyes either!

Great teacher. Very lenient on grading, curves the tests. All you have to do is go to the class and listen to the lectures. I received nearly perfect scores on the exams, never really read the books either. I would definitely recommend him!

Dr. Marler is an amazing professor. I've always loved History, but American History was never my favorite until I took this class. Completely changed the way I thought about it. One of the best professors I've had since starting college.

Best Professor Ever!

His class is extremely easy. He let us use notes on in class assignments, and he is very fair. The lectures can be a bit boring at times, but not bad for the most part. Make sure you study and you will be fine.

Dr. Marler is an EXCELLENT professor! Attendance IS mandatory. He is very helpful outside of class. He makes his lectures interesting! Dr. Marler DOES expect students to do well on the tests. He is also an extremely nice man, as well as highly intelligent! He is very easy on the eyes! Take him!

Awsome Pofessor. Knows what he is talking about. Really understanding and fair grader. Class, assignments, and quizzes are easy.If you take notes his quizzes and test come strait from them. Study for tests they can be a little difficult. Easy A if you put in a little effort.

the best teacher i have ever had at the u of m. his quizzez,test,and assignments were fairly easy if u pay attention in class and at least read some of the chapters that he wants the class read. he really knows history kind of boring but hey hes a good teacher

I've never had a history class this interesting or easy. SHOW UP FOR CLASS!! Quizzes and tests come straight from the reading and his lectures; he does his best to make them as interesting as possible. Participate in discussion with him; he knows his stuff, appreciates students who are interested in it and he will do what he can to help you!

Excellent Professor! Extremely easy.. Must take if you have the option. Gives outlines and study guides that are just like the exams. One paper,3 exams, 6 quizes and assignments but drops the lowest one. Easy A!! Only buy book that has documents in it for the paper, the rest are not neccessary. Overall, class is boring but a def GPA booster!

Great teacher. A tad boring, but he knows his stuff. You don't really need to take notes, as long as you actually pay attention you will do fine on quizzes. But, GO to REVIEW DAY. He outlines perfectly how you should answer the essay questions. Ask him questions he is very knowledgeable and helpful The good looking grad assists were a good asset :)

Dr. Marler definitely knows his stuff. He is a tad boring in his lectures but it's an easy easy A. You only need the book (out of the 3 assigned) with the documents (its for the paper work 20% of your grade and its SOOO easy). The tests are easy, go to review day--he gives you the answers for the essays. Study the outlines from elearn

Dr. Marler knows his stuff, but his lectures are a tad bit boring. Easy A for a very minimal effort. I opened the book twice the whole semester. GO TO THE REVIEW DAY before the exams. You have to study, but not very much. Nice guy, will answer all your questions. Only one paper, 3 exams, 6 quizzes and written assignments.

Very easy. His lectured get boring but he knows when they do. There is an easy quiz every other week and a short writing assignment(1 pgmax) on the other weeks. This is how he takes attendance. I would take him again. His tests aren't bad as long as you come to review day. no papers. Little book usage but helpful for studying

GREAT TEACHER! This class is so easy. Marler has a great sense of humor and knows what he is talking about. The tests are very straight forward- 2 essay questions(which he gives you the answers to in the review class) and the rest multiple choice. Very easy A.

He is very fair in his grades. Gives ample opportunity to make good grades on all his assignments, quizzes, and tests. He allows books to be used on assignments that require at least one page. The quizzes are at the end of a lecture. The tests are also easy. He gives the essay questions and answers in advance. Highly reccomend. Wish he taught 2020.

Great Professor! He knows his stuff. He is very considerate. I would definetly take him again. He has 6 quizzes and assignments to be written on 1 page in a big blue book and 3 exams no paper. He will drop the lowest assignment and quiz grade. So easy, just study. He will go over the study guide with the class. Most questions are from the quizzes.

He is enthusiastic about the subject but knows most students don't care as this is just a GenEd req, so he makes learning easy. He's very interesting and pretty darn cute. Communicates via email and announcements in class, you'll always know what's going on. Writing assignments are easy and sparse. Go to review day and you'll ace the tests, too.

Passionate. Brilliant. Do all of the assignments and show up. Although he does not take attendance, be responsible and show up to class. He relates to his students. Does not go below an 80 for quizzes. You will need the Colchin book. Be specific on assignments.

Not the best option for graduate students. Overinflated ego as well as his inability to stop talking stifles discussion; dismissive and occasionally combative with dissenting opinion of students referencing credible historiography; dismissive of questions outside the classroom; very arbitrary grading. You can and should do better.

Great professor. His talks bore you to DEATH!!! But try and stay awake and jot down his notes and you will do fine.

I had relatively little interest in this course going in (Constitutional history), but now it's not so bad. Dr. Marler is hilarious, really easy on your grading (got a 97 on my research paper after hoping for a C), and an absolute joy to look at.

This guy is by far the best teacher for History if you are taking it for general courses. he understands thats why most people are in there, and makes it easy to do well in the class while at the same time still teaches you. I would take him again over anyone else!

I have always found history to be taught in an extremely boring "dates and facts" kind of way. Dr. Marler cures that! He wants students to understand the concepts and relationships not just the numbers. His class is not EASY but if definitely is not HARD. He sets you up for a good grade you just have to read and keep up. Also, he is a Silver FOX ;)

I loved this teacher he's very nice and looks just like Micheal on "The Office". The books for his class are very cheap. He give 6 pop quizzes and drops the lowest score. The tests are open book or take home.

Really cool guy. Not arrogant or rude and he really knows a lot about what he teaches. Sets the class up for you to succeed. Doesn't hand you an A but makes it very easy for you to earn one. He gives you everything that will be on the tests and gives 6 quizzes that you can't make below a 60 on and he drops the lowest. Great for gen ed class.

Just go to class on the days he has the quizzes and writing assignments and you'll be fine! His tests are a little tougher just because I abosultely hate history, but he gives study guides and those helped me to do average on his tests. Overall, really cool teacher and likes to see his students succeed.

Dr. Marler is very good at what he does. He makes History interesting and sets the course up for his students to succeed. He always lets the students know when a quiz or assignment will be given in class, but don't let those determine which days you do or do not go to class. His tests are a little more challenging. Just read the material.

Really easy professor. He knows what he's talking about! He gives study guides. Attend the lectures and you'll make an A. I didn't even read the books.

AWESOME Professor!!! He is one of my favorite professors at the U of M. He knows so much about the subject and doesnt just read off of the power points. Extremely nice teacher and will set up to do well in his class. Study guides are very helpful for the tests. I have taken him for intro history and US constitution and he is amazing in all of them.

AMAZING professor; not a hard class! 3 exams worth 20% each; 6 one page-long writing assignments that you can use your book/notes on worth 20% each, and 6 quizzes worth 20% each. He DROPS the lowest quiz grade and lowest homework grade. GO TO THE REVIEW SESSIONS AND YOU'LL GET AN A! He gives study guides which are JUST like the exams. I got an A+!

Great professor. It's like he wants every to pass that's how easy the class is. yeah it's mostly lecture, but the rest is simple even without reading the books. im sure ill pass with an A.

He's awesome! Keeps you engaged the whole lecture. Go to class and pay half attention and you'll do well.

Awesome professor! He definitely knows the material and presents it in an easy to understand way. He does everything he can to make sure you can get a good grade. I don't like the term "easy A" cause I think it's kind of degrading to the professor, but if you want to boost your GPA, take this class for sure!

He is a very chill and understandable teacher. He wants everyone to pass. Highly recommended for a gpa boost.

Loved his class. Great professor, willing to answer questions. He was asctually the one to convince me to be a history major. Also try his constitutional history class, it's incredibly interesting.

Dr. Marler is a great professor! He gives very short and interesting lectures, and knows when to skip the boring stuff. He pretty much gives you the quiz answers throughout the lecture, so if you don't come to class, expect to not do so well on the quizzestests unless you really want to read the textbook (Which I never used). Gives study guides!

He does a great job of making the lectures not boring . Very cool . Tests aren't that hard

Really amazing teacher. I would love to have him again.

He is a picture of what every college student looks for in a professor. He gives a few quizzes, one gets dropped, and around three tests. For every quiz the only requirement to doing is well is showing up and paying attention. He gives study guides with the essay questions that will be asked on the exam. Also exams ARE NOT comprehensive. Easy A

Scott Marler is AMAZING. If I could take all of his classes I would. He makes History so interesting and easy to comprehend. Take him!!!

I love Scott Marler. His class is the easiest. Show up and listen half asleep and you will pass with an A

He is a great professor. He knows history is boring and he tries to make it fun and keep your attention. His assignments, quizzes, and tests are EASY. He has review days before exams too and he posts study guides with the answers. I had to take another history class this semester and organized all my other classes AROUND his history class.

Dr. Marler knows what he is teaching, and genuinely cares about his students passing. I wish he wasn't so easy. I was going to take him for another class 5 months away, but that class is already full. Definitely recommended.

I absolutely hated history before I took Professor Marler. I loved taking him for HIST 2010 (FA15) so much that I actually took him again for HIST 2020 (SP16)! He makes a boring subject matter interesting. There are 3 major exams, 6 quizzes, and 6 assignments but he drops your lowest quiz and lowest assignment. I got an A- HIST2010 and B+ HIST2020.

Dr. Marler is a really good teacher, I really enjoyed this class. He made history not boring. He is extremely attractive and charismatic as well. Take this class; you won't regret it.

Professor Marler is great! His class is easy, if you make sure to take/get notes for quizzes/writing assignments (6 of each, drops the lowest grade for both a quiz and assignment). For exams make sure to get the study guide online and get all the info you can from textbook (I only ever used the Henretta book). I study the night before and get an A.

Hands down the best professor at the University of Memphis. Professor Marler's lectures are very interesting and he cares a lot about his students. There is no way you won't pass his class if you go to class, pay attention, and take notes. I didn't buy the books and would study the night before exams. Of the three exams I made 98/92/100.

Easiest class I have ever taken, but I also learned a lot. His lectures are interesting and easy to follow, just take good notes. Quizzes and assignments at the end of class are easy if you pay attention. AMAZING STUDY GUIDES FOR EXAMS. Seriously, take this guy.

His tests are very lecture heavy, but they're not hard at all. He is so passionate about history! All you have to do is listen in class and he explains it beautifully.

EASIEST CLASS EVER! Although the lectures are really long and boring, as long as you somewhat pay attention, the quizzes and test are a breeze.

He is a very easy A. The in class quizzes are easy as long as you pay attention and write notes. The tests are easy just study what the study guide has and you will be fine. Take him, he's very nice. Assignments are very easy and you can use notes

The class was kinda boring but not too bad, never paid attention but still managed to pass all exams. Take him. Also, I did not buy the book. He'll say it's required but really it's not. Have fun.

My favorite teacher at UoM! He's lecture heavy and very detailed. While attendance is not mandatory, if you go and listen closely to the lecture, it's an easy A. If you don't go to class, read the text. You'll do fine. I took the class for the credit, but it easily was my favorite class. 10/10!!

Passionate about what he teaches and gives a few funny history facts whenever he can. Drops lowest quiz and assignment grade. You won't be penalized for being late (I've seen people come in at the last 5 minutes and he helps them),but attendance is important. Especially since he gives you like 1/3 of the exam answers when reviewing the study guide.

He recommends reading the text a lot, but the books are not mandatory for getting an A. Though they can help if you're not good at writing assignments. His lectures are long, but please don't freak out and write everything he says. He's just passionate. If you show up, take notes from the projector, and keep an open ear, you'll do amazing.

Best history teacher! Take him you will not regret it. Her has clear grading criteria. Just show up,pay attention, read the book, take notes, and the semester will be a breeze

recommend anyone to take him! easy A, don't need a book, just show up to class for assignments and quizzes and do the reviews for the exams.

Take this class. Amazing professor and an easy A. Gives amazing lectures and has straightforward quizzes based exactly on the material taught. Show up and listen and you'll pass. Even if you don't, he sends out study guides and you'll pass with at least a B. Sit close to the front though because he isn't very loud and speaks pretty quietly.

go to class! u don't have to but I would. he lecture the whole time and its boring. but, just go if you can. you have writing assignments. and quizzes they're like 6-8 questions super easy. the exams he gives u a study guide and its really helpful! I don't really enjoy history class ever but I enjoyed his class a lot

Very easy class! You dont really need to buy the book! Just go to class and take notes and you should be fine. The Quizzes are super easy, and the exams were also. If you want an easy class take him!

Professor Marler is one of a kind. I took his U.S. to 1877 class. He is very passionate about what he teaches, but he seems to understand that History is not everyone's passion. He grades very fairly. Show up and you will pass easily. I am taking him again next semester for the U.S. since 1877.

I took Scott Marler;s 1010 History class and made sure to take his 2020 class as well the following semester. He was asynchronous both times due to covid. His lectures are easy to follow even without crazy note taking and his assignments/quizzes are mildly frequent but easy to ace. Hardly did any reading just some minor googling for homework.

Dr. Marler is a solid professor. He presented history in a way that is easy to comprehend. I found him to be attentive and caring because he always posted reminders about when assignments were due. We had six quizzes (he drops the lowest grade), six written assignments (he drops the lowest grade) and 3 exams. Take him!

Very easy history class. You only have to pay attention in class to pass. He has exam review sessions that go over the study guide and essay questions that you have on each Test. It is very lecture heavy and isn't always easy to pay attention; however, you don't have to buy the book if you just pay attention in class. I highly recommend this class.

If you want an easy class to breeze through take him. You do not need to read as long as you pay attention, the class is set up for you to succeed. I only studied one day before exams and never got less than a 95. Before exams he will read of questions and answers too. Lowest quiz and assignment dropped, he is a great professor and lecturer.

Very easy professor to pass. His communication was on point all semester. 6 quizzes and assignments literally over the material he just covered in class that day. Lowest grade dropped. Three easy exams. I didnt need the book whatsoever. It may be useful for exams but I did pretty good without. Just come to class and pay attention, youll be fine.

Honestly, he's a really good professor. I say attendance matters because if you try to do assignments and quizzes just from reading the book, good luck because all of his assignments and quizzes are based off of his lectures. You don't necessarily need the book, he tells you to get it, but attend lectures and listen & you'll be fine.

He is super nice, and even though his lectures can be a bit boring, he makes everything easy to understand and tries his best to keep everyone engaged. His tests are easy to pass, and he gives a study guide before each one. Definitely take his class!!

Dr. Marler is an awesome. His lectures are fun and entertaining even when speaking on hard topics. His TA's are excellent graders on assignments and essays. They leave clear and concise comments on canvas. His quizzes and assignments are easy and are based on topics covered in class. His also available outside of class for additional questions.

Marler is one of my favorite professors I have taken so far. As long as you go to class you will do well. I'm not going to spoil the class but he wants you to pass so don't worry going into it. If you put the effort in you can easily get an A.

He's a very great teacher, his class is very easy. Attendance is not mandatory however I do suggest that you go to every class because on the quizzes (which are 6-8 questions max.) the questions are based on the two most recent lectures. Lectures may seem boring, but you'll pass your exams easier if you take notes on paper or electronically!

One of the best classes I've taken, assignments, quizzes, and exams are all due in class so no homework, and they are all based on his lectures. I never bought a textbook and got a good grade, attend his lectures listen, and write notes and you will pass this class easily.

Very easy class. Pay attention to lectures and take notes. Quizzes were very easy, exams were just like quizzes but longer. He goes over the free response questions with an assignment before the exam (which is basically you answering the questions and get feedback) and you can use that to help on your exam. Prepare to buy scantrons and bluebooks.

I like him as a person but man was this class boring. It wasn't interesting at all and very lecture heavy. Doesn't really make his lectures interesting so it's very easy to zone out. But if you're good at paying attention through boring lectures then the class is an easy A. He even gives answers at the beginning of class before an exam/quiz.

Amazing. He's so informative during his lectures and you'll get anything you need. Show up to class, and the study guide he gives will help you 1000%. He's so cool, and I loved his lectures. Please take him. Also the textbook is needed, his assignments/tests are super easy going.

Overall this class had been one of the best I had taken all semester. I would 100 percent recommend Professor Marler. He cares about the performance of his lectures. He is very open about his quizzes and test. As long as you go to class to get the notes and the study guide it is impossible to fail.

Extremely nice professor. He tends to get quite political and seems to be left leaning but is very respectful, his anecdotes are hilarious, and the class is extremely easy to pass.

Very caring and inspirational. Would suggest everyone to take his course, at least the preliminary level ones.

This is such an easy class. There are 6 quizzes and 6 assignments, and he drops the lowest score for both. There are 3 exams. He has exam review before each one, and he gives the answers to the essay questions. Attendance is not mandatory, but you should probably go, but I lowkey skipped a decent amount. He is super sweet.

Scott is an amazing professor, the tests can be a little tricky but if you go to class and pay attention during the lectures you will be fine. Overall I would take him again hands down. Make sure you go to class!!
