Wouldn't take again

NO NO NO, An extremely rude, intimidating, insulting person who thinks he's the best, and he isn't. Doesn't help students. He is super hard graded. the homework has nothing to do with the tests.

Professor Marsden has been the best math professor I've had at GCC. He provides a lot of feedback on his grading which helps you understand how you got the problem wrong. He is always willing to meet with you and discuss to further help you in the course. This is still a calculus class so it is still difficult and you have to pay attention to learn

Many unfair statements here. The best Math professor whom I ever met. The schedule is designed with perfect accuracy, detailed explanations before every exam, weekly office hours,15 possible extras, he drops the lowest exam grade (not Final). This course is for smart, hardworking, and decent people. Cheating is not accepted. Will recommend 100%!!!

Professor Marsden is a very organized, nice, and caring person, not rude at all! However, he is extremely against cheating and that's why some students had to drop the course. I wish he were a little more easygoing but he is tough grader. But I like him and yes I will take him again.

I've never cared to write a review on a Professor, but Mr. Marsden deserves it. His class is tough but if you do the homework you will do good on the tests. He explains the subject very well. He also does a group study session during class the day before the test. It helped out a lot overall. By far the best professor @ GCC

I never give reviews, but I did promise I would give him one during one of our meetings. He's a great teacher and although he is strict, he is very caring and wants to see his students succeed. Loved his lectures and he's not just a cool teacher, but a great person. I strongly recommend having a good fundamental on Algebra before taking the class.

Amazing lectures

Professor Marsden is the best math professor (or teacher) I've ever taken. His teaching style is incredibly straight forward and the tests are EXACTLY what he teaches in class. This is the first time I've ever gotten an A in a math class, and it's CALC! Please do yourself the favor and take him while you still can. + he allows cheat sheets.. 10/10.
