really nice and fun teacher.
Toke him for 211&212 and got a B in both. Hes takes a hard subject and does his best to make sure every student gets it. His tests arent hard but they are tricky. Go to ALL the classes and do ALL the homework and it will help you out emensly. Plus he counts HE and attendance as a hundred points.
Very nice teacher! Go to class becasue you get free point for attendance. I didn't even buy the book because he provides his lecture notes online. There is online homework which was helpful in learning that material but make sure you at least attempt all of the homework problems by the class before any exam so you can ask questions - if you dont ge
Very helpful teacher- not a lot of notes so you better pay attention. homework is helpful but dont wait until the last min to complete it. study guides are very useful for the exams. you get points for attendance so go to class. extremely helpful in and out of class - his classes are not for slackers - you have to put in time to get a good grade
Honestly he is a great professor. I hated accounting after having a horrible professor for 211, but Marsh made me enjoy going to class. If you consistently go to class and study, you will get As on tests. As far as the homework, it's hard, and you should definitely not wait till near the due date to start it, finish it as quickly as you can!
He is awesome!!! i hated accounting in the beginning but prof. Marsh made it fun...his classes are interesting even though accounting is confusing. also he is helpful and gives study guides before exams all exams are multiple choice. if you do the HW and listen in class you will definitely do great!
Take my word for this professor, for he is AWESOME teacher! Attend class (whole class) and do homeworks, and tests will be piece of cake for you. If you're one of those people who says "I'm good student blah blah blah but this isn't easy class" keep searching for teachers who gives away A's for doing nothing. This isn't one.
I took Professor Marsh for Acc 211 for the six week summer course. I got an "A" in the class. He was very helpful and gave everyday examples that applied to Accounting. He was laid back, but stressed the importance of taking the class seriously. He leaves it up to you. He turns a difficult subject into something interesting.
Worste teacher I have ever had. Did nothing but read from power points.
He was not that bad, but actually he was so difficult. He made accounting do hard to understand. Did nothing except going through a powerpoint slides so fast and set in the back and count your points. HW hard, tests hard. I withdrew after receiving F on the first exam... Avoid him if you can... I warned you!
He's extremely helpful. Acc is not an easy class, but if you come to class regularly and do all the work, you probably get an B or above. He explains everything clearly and goes over homework to make sure everybody understand. Test and HW is not hard, kinda tricky but if you learn hard. there would be no problem to get an A
He is probably the best accounting teacher at NOVA. He is very helpful and explains whatever you need whenever you ask. I'm taking him for the next level as well and would recommend any one take him for accounting. It's not an easy course, so don't expect an easy A, but if you attend class, and do your work, you'll do pretty well.
Professor Marsh is a great professor. He is always in a good mood, always willing to help whoever may need it, and just an all around great person. The class is definitively challenging. So make sure you do the homework and pay attention in class. Me and all my friends I've made in this class plan on taking him again next semester for ACC 212/
Marsh was a great prof.! He made himself available to help. I wish we had more time to go over the homework in class since it's all done online, though. But overall I recommend taking his class.
Prof. Marsh is an awesome teacher. Very kind, laid back, helpful and funny. The class was hard for me because my brain doesn't work like an accountant. I had to study really hard and I attended almost all classes and I did well. He knows his stuff and is willing to help those who want to help themselves. I worked hard and learned a lot.
Great professor! Make sure to do your homework though. Homework will be your SAVIOR! Tests aren't hard, open book & obviously you have to study. Class isn't mandatory but you get extra credit if you attend 90% of the classes.
Professor marsh is simply awesome!
Great professor, teaches the material very well. Homework is mediocre, but you gotta do it to understand everything, He has a great sense of humor and incorporates it into his lecture, but don't waste your time trying to hit on the ladies in class because they are all into him; probably the only bad thing this professor.
genuinely wants to help students do well and aides in helping students get a feel for what will be after graduation. explains clearly and always replies to emails which is rare from my experience with other professors. take him
i took acc 211 and 212 with professor Mars is the best teacher in Nova he is so helpful and clear i highly recommend him.
Accounting is not my favorite course but Professor Marsh made it interesting. He was very helpful and always answered all my questions. I ended up getting A's in both 211 and 212! Awesome teacher!!
Professor Marsh is an amazing teacher! I came into accounting expecting to hate it and left loving it and it completely changed my idea of it to the point where I changed my major! He's very helpful, kind, and funny! I recommend him out of any other accounting teacher at NOVA! Definitely taking him for ACC 212 too.
Professor Marsh is really nice! will try to help you to understand accounting. The class isnt easy since accounting is difficult, but as long as you do homework and study for the test, you will get an A! 2 tests only and assignments online.
Great Professor. Really wants to help kids learn accounting and does a great job. Best Professor I've had at NOVA. Most of the work is through online but he goes over all material during class. Make sure you show up. Class is really laid back and is a great environment.
Take his class! Accounting is not easy, but he is one of the best choises you can get. His classes are really fun and he explains very well. He will spend time to make sure you understand everything. A lot of online HW, but they get you prepared for the exams.There are 2 exams (mideterm and a final) each of them has two parts: assignmena and a test
Great professor!!! So funny! Cares a lot about his students!!!!!
He is a very helpful with making sure you understand the material. Attendance is mandatory. The exams are not easy.
One of the best teachers NOVA has to offer! There's a lot of work in his class, but any accounting class will require a lot of work. He will go step by step multiple times with you if you're lost, and genuinely cares for you to succeed. Only a midterm and a final exam, but outlines everything you need to know. Not an easy A, but worth it!
Umm I'd recommend him because he's probably the best you can find at Annadale, but don't expect an easy grade handed to you. He's a nice guy but not nice when it comes to grading. Either you know Accounting or you don't.
Absolutely love him! Amazing professor and so helpful! I was dreading accounting prior to having him, now this is one of my favorite classes! He is very thorough and understanding. He gives you easy points with the Connect assignments! But you have to pay attention in order to understand the course. I am taking him next semester for 212!
Easily one of the best teachers ive had a Nova. He explains everything clearly, and Loves being asked questions, There are exercises every class to help you understand and prepare for the test. It's not an easy class, but if you're a business major, you need to know this stuff, and this is the teacher for you. 5/5 would take again
He's a good teacher but I wish I would have taken someone else. He doesn't go over things in the books and isn't very clear. Goes over examples but very fast and doesn't really explain well. Pretty boring.
He is a very good professor! I loved this class. He likes to be ask questions and he is very helpful. One of the best professors at nova. If you do hw and attend classes you will be fine
Prof. Marsh is an EXCELLENT accoubting teacher. This is not an easy subject for most and takes a while to get but the layout and practice in his class is the best i have experienced. Definitely not an easy A but with some work and his help it is definitely within reach. take him!
Great professor and very helpful.
He says it on the first day of class, and he's right: his teaching style isn't for anyone. He makes you learn all the information for homework before you come to the class that he's gonna teach about it. He goes way too fast, and you have to shout out and interrupt him for him to stop for you. Will not be taking again!
Professor Marsh was great and explains everything as precisely as possible. Those who complain about him are just lazy students who do not want to melt the brain ice and study. Yes, Accounting is a bit challenging so has to be the professor. If you want to understand Accounting in its original and tactical method, take him!
Very clear lectures, but very hard tests. Do not underestimate them bc there's only 3 tests and they're each 30% of your grade. He's very willing to help you, so take advantage of office hours. BUY THE BOOK the online version is only good for getting the hw points (10%) Participate in class if you can
he is a very nice person, however he teaches way too fast. test are extremely hard and unfair. all multiple choice and 1 or 2 problems to write. if you miss 3 questions you miss 30 points. online hw is useless because the test wont be like that
He is a very organized teacher. he has due dates up for all his assignments on blackboard and has the entire semester lectures planned out. you MUST read the chapter and do the learnsmart before you come into class or you will not understand what he's talking about. you must do all the homework on time. no second chances. very helpful and cares
Okay first thing first, I earned a B. Went from a low D to a high B. Reason was because I studied really hard. Test there's 3 and really hard. Main thing is that he won't return your test so you won't be able to know what you got wrong! would not take this professor again. I passed because of HARD studying and dedication. but this class is not easy
I took professor Marsh for both ACC 111 and 112. I LOVED his class. Accounting is a hard subject for many and he does a wonderful job explaining it. Pay attention to all his lectures, take notes, and don't be shy about asking questions. With accounting you shouldn't move on to the next thing until you fully understand what comes before.
He really likes participation, the feedback let's him know the class is learning which is what he really cares about, he's not just there to speak to an unresponsive class, he'd probably be as bored as you if that was the case. Good guy, good teacher, the right question can lead to some great answers, take notes before class and do the hw.
Prof. Marsh has good amount of lectures, but the thing is he goes pretty fast. If you're taking accounting for the first time, I highly suggest that you find someone else. He gives three 3 exams that are very hard and you must know the material before you come to class. If you already know or good at accounting, then you can take him.
Professor Marsh is probably the best Accounting professor you can find at NOVA. He is always more than willing to help so take advantage of his office hours when you need help. He is also very patient so don't be afraid to ask any questions you don't understand till you do get it!
I love the class so much, so I plan to take 212 with him too. I have to study so hard to get high grades, but I love that the way he teaches is so easy to understand. If you wanna take his class, of course you have to study hard. He really gives you a good base to go further with accounting.
I like him because he is very helpful and funny. I will take him again. I do study very hard to get good grade but i like reading so it is not a matter to me.
I like him because he is very helpful and funny. I will take him again. I do study very hard to get good grade but i like reading so it is not a matter to me. You should take his office hour because he will help you to explain everything. I highly recommend him to you.
Great Professor. You just need to practice the problems and homework and its super easy. He gives great feedback and the grading system is clear. HW and test are graded to get your total test. You have 3 attempts on EACH of your hw problems. It'll even tell you what problems you got wrong. dont get it after the 2nd time? just go see prof. Marsh.
he is the reason i am making it through accounting, very glad i chose him. i am truly learning things about accounting compared to when i took it with a different professor
Without a doubt, I enjoy being apart of his lectures. His class environment is one where you feel encouraged to participate thus it's not one of those awkward and silent classes. He is great at explaining topics and highly encourages questions among students if there's any sort of confusion; he'll help you out. Four exams, 13 chapter assignments.
He is the reason why I am majoring in Accounting :) GREAT PROFESSOR!!
awesome guy, took both 211 and 212 with him. i would recommend him, i think if i took accounting with anyone else i wouldnt be doing as well. if you want an a you will have to read and study, its not that hard. homeworks are a great way to study. take him!
He is the reason that I am into accounting now. There are 4 tests, homework are not due until last day of semester(I suggest you should do the homework before each test, it helps a lot). The tests are not easy though, you really have to study to have a good grade. They are not tricky by any mean. If you wanna take him, you really have to work hard
Highly recommend this professor to anyone who is willing to put in the work. Don't just show up to class without any sort of preparation because you'll just be wasting your time and his time. At the very least, read the chapter summaries that's on Blackboard prior to class time. Also, he encourages participation with occasional group work.
Prof. Marsh is truly passionate and it shows through his lectures. The lectures are heavy but that is due to the material that is taught. He does a lot of practice problems in class and does great exam reviews that are very helpful and accurate. Study outside of class too because ACC is a lot of material, but you should easily pass!
Awesome Proffesor, always wants you to pass and you just have to do your work on time and study
Great professor, he really cares about his students and is always available for extra help. He not only wants his students to pass but actually learn and understand the material. He offers extra credit assignments, if you do all the hw on time and study for the exam you'll get an A. I thought I would never understand accounting but he made it easy.
great professor. explains topics clearly, available outside of class, always in a good mood. very professional and normal. go to lectures, do practice problems and online homework, and you will pass. he also offers a few extra credit opportunities. great semester with mr. marsh
I had failed Accounting with another professor the semester before but it was clear to me within 20 min of being in Prof. Marsh's class that I was going to do well in it. He is very knowledgable about what he teaches and makes class interesting. Show up to class, take notes, do the wileyplus hw, and you will pass without any issues
Now this is what a professor should be at Nova imo. He is there to teach and help you; he is a very patient guy who is willing to provide the time to help you in class and outside of class. That class will start out easy but will, of course, get tougher later on so be sure to ask him for help. There are group assignments but individual grades.
Prof. Marsh is such a great accounting professor. He makes sure you understand the material well, even if accounting is not your strong suit. He cares about his students and is easily accessible outside of class for questions and concerns. He makes lectures interesting and engaging. TAKE HIS CLASS! I cannot recommend enough.
Professor Marsh is the best professor at NOVA, he will make you work for your grade but his class is worth it all. Amazing lectures and amazing guy, 100% take him!!
Pro Marsh was an amazing professor�� He always cared about his students and gave you extra time to work on your assignments. I gotta say that the work wasnt easy but is normal for accounting to be difficult, but trust me you wont regret taking his class. He is also very respectful and he is their to listen to you no matter what.
He was super nice and helpful. Since this was an ELI course, it's mostly self-guided, but he did have good feedback.
Professor Marsh is probably my favorite educator throughout my education experience. I wish I had him in person instead of zoom. He is really caring about his students. He gave us all of our assignments day 1 and said they are all due at the end of the semester. So don't procrastinate and you will do just fine, I promise. Always willing to help.
Professor Marsh is a great person and professor!! He wants his students to succeed and is very understanding. He teaches in a way that his students will understand. Accounting is not an easy A class. You have to put the work in but his lectures are very well oriented. All of the assignments are through wiley plus. Tests and projects heavy class.
AMAZING TEACHER! Super helpful and nice
WARNING-This course consists of homework assignments, quizzes, and 2 proctored exams. You must earn at least 60% on the 2 proctored exams to pass. In my case, I successfully completed all of my work, but failed 1 of 2 proctored exams. Prof. Marsh refused to let me re-take the test; therefore, extra credit is pointless. Good practice for CPA exam
Nice guy and cares for his students as any other professor should. Does his part to be fair in making sure you succeed in the class. If you want Wiley HW which is less work and easier, keep it moving. He uses McGrawhill platform which is an unnecessary amount of reading to ensure you do the HW. Plus he makes you do Lockdown Webcam browser
Professor Marsh cares about his student's success and wants them to learn. The exams are not proctored but the class is project heavy. Be prepared to be familiar with excel, as it is required for the projects. He is a tough grader but if you follow his criteria and listen closed during lectures to what he wants in each project, you will do well.
Great Professor! He is a tough grader but he wants you to work for it!! Be familiar with excel and using formulas within the spreadsheets, its required for the projects. If you do the homework and follow along in class you will do well in the class! He's very friendly and an awesome professor to take!
Prof. Marsh assigns a lot of projects. His instructions can be wordy and ambiguous. When asking him a question about a project, he may not give a clear answer and make you feel awkward for asking. Its hard to earn an A. He does provide helpful recordings of his feedback on the projects. Otherwise, he does a good job!
Prof. Marsh really cares about his students. He is very flexible with time when it comes to scheduling office hours. This class has a lot of projects! They can be difficult but he gives good feedback. Just do the work and take the tests, you will get an A or B.
Professor Marsh overall is a great Professor! However, there are frequent projects in his class, and if you are not familiar with Excel, it will be tough. But he does give exceptional/detailed feedback!
I took Professor Marsh in person for acc 211 and 212 and passed with an A for both. The class is project heavy and the exams are fairly easy. Make sure you have a better standing of excel as it will be easier to complete the projects. Attendance is not mandatory but it will be beneficial you show up to class since it is roughly 50 points.
Please avoid taking this professor's 8-week online session literally makes it hard to pass. Fail any proctored exam and it's over.
Professor Marsh was no help and a strict grader for no reason at all. I definitely would not reccomend taking his class and does not give any partial credit. Even during these covid times, he made the class a lot harder than it needed to be.
No exams but class extremely project heavy. Strict about deadlines as well. Assigned a bunch of projects to be due at end of semester at the same time
He has a firm but fair teaching method.
Prof.Marsh is nice and fair. He gave good and detailed feedback for all projects. He didn't review too much for tests so I have to do it by myself. His projects are interesting but he graded a little bit strictly. He required to use Excel for most projects. If you work hard, you get an A. Overall, I learn a lot in this course.
I loved his class, one of my favorite professors ever. His lectures were the most helpful thing, and now a year later since I have taken his class I am able to use the information that I've learned in his class in my acct classes at GMU. 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a good accounting professor.
Professor Marsh cares about his students and wants everyone to walk out of his class understanding the material.
I am a senior at GMU taking ACCT 303 and the only reason why I am doing well is because of Prof. Marsh. Everything I learned for acct is from him! The class is project heavy, but only because they actually help you understand the material. His feedback is thoughtful, and his lectures are what make him the best prof. He wants you to understand!
If you are looking to major in accounting, please take professor Marsh. His lectures are very simple but explains the material very thoroughly. The homework and pre lecture assignments helped me to learn any content I wasn't understanding. Everything was perfect for me, I even had days where I had health complications and he was super understanding
I highly recommend Professor Marsh. Take notes, pay attention to the lectures, and do the homework and you will be fine. Professor Marsh cares about your success, so if you feel as though you're falling behind or don't understand the material being presented, reach out to him ASAP and he will give you the assistance you need!
So overall if you wanna easy pass LITERALLY take this class. The professor is super nice and honestly, you won't do much in my opinion. All you do is Wiley which is simple and in total, you have 4 projects (2 individual and 2 group). He isn't a hard grader and he has A LOT OF EXTRA CRED opportunities so honestly you can pass with an A .
Professor Marsh doesn't use PowerPoint. To ace quizzes, read the online textbook, complete pre-lectures before class, and homework. There are 2 individual and 2 group projects, worth a lot of points. He uses Kahoot for review. Quizzes are short, no Lockdown Browser, but you can't go back to previous questions. He's helpful outside of class.
Professor Marsh's ACC212 class is pretty straightforward. The workload is manageable with projects and quizzes, and he's helpful if you put in the effort. Unstuck AI was a lifesaver for quiz prep.
Absolute goat! Weekly announcements with inspirations quotes and updates. Tons of extra credit throughout the year. Total of 50 extra credit points. Its really hard not to pass. Gives life advice during class and owns up to any mistakes he makes. Is a great teacher and even greater person. W role model. Around 3-5 assignments a week.
Professor Marsh does a very good job at teaching and demonstrates he is an expert in his field as well as in areas where the subject may be applicable He offered many opportunities and encouraged anyone to ask for help in face of any challenge. Great professor who wants you to succeed in the course and in life. Will take him again for ACC-212
Very easy teacher who cares about making sure all his students understand the material. Super flexible with deadlines.
He's by far the best professor I've had so far at NOVA, he's very clear with his assignments and he's extremely helpful if you're struggling and he always makes sure that you understand the topic and what you're learning about and he's the nicest professor I've had would take him 100 times out of 100 times.
my last accounting professor was really not my favorite, so I was very picky when looking for professors and he is one of the best professors I have had. he's very understanding and will slow down if needed during lectures. his grading is very fair, most of the grading is on McGrow-Hill so make sure not to have any missing work!
He was a good professor, with a lot of HW and activities for participation. Projects were the ones that I found interesting and exciting at the same time. The materials were good to understand since I'm good with numbers, and it was easy for me to understand the concepts in each unit of the course. I had a great time in his class.
100% would take again. Best Accounting professor.
I took Professor Marsh's hybrid ACC 211 class. He takes the hybrid aspect very strictly, so his lectures aren't very helpful as he is on a time crunch. There are 4 exams that are all proctored, and a weekly chapter McGraw-Hill SmartBook and homework. There's also a lot of extra hw for 'participation' which was very unnecessary.
Easily my favorite professor so far, wouldn't take anyone else for accounting. He makes material easy to understand. Quizzes are open note, assignments and projects are simple, and he gives you plenty of chances for extra credit. Professor Marsh is also a really nice person and will work with you, so just pay attention and you'll have an A.
For anyone who is starting with Accounting PLEASE TAKE HIM He makes learning so much fun and you just need to deal with in-class group activities Most assignments are graded automatically and if you do well on the course you can end up with at least a B even with some missing assignments He is such a genuine person and he deserves all the love
I would recommend taking this class! His lectures are very clear and it's not too heavy. He is an amazing teacher!
