I would definitely recommend Prof. Marsden-- he is one of THE BEST and OUTSTANDING Professor in SWC. As a child development major I really enjoyed and learned so many things and gained new knowledge from him and his class.

Comment:
This is a fun easy class but you should get ready to write. Almost every week we had to do discussions of 500-600 words. But if you like Child development they are about interesting topics... He gives a lot of extra credit, 1 short quizz per week & 1 group project. If you do the work you will pass.

Attendance is mandatory since the only times we come into the class is for group projects and group discussions (I took a hybrid course). There is always homework that you have to do but there is plenty of extra credit. I even missed a 50 point report but I was able to make it up! He is easy to reach, understanding, and a very cool professor.

Professor Marsden is AMAZING! Not only is the course outline mapped out before the semester (so you know what to expect), but he offers lots of extra credit opportunities. I took his hybrid course so it was both online and in the classroom participation. Just complete you work with effort and you will pass with an A. WOULD TAKE AGAIN

He is a great in class professor. He does give a lot of work but it is easy & gives a bunch of extra credit discussions so if you do them, it would be an easy class. Would take this class again

Online class. Tons of reading, many power points, articles. Long videos to watch for assignments. Discussion boards and quizzes weekly. Discussion boards have to be long and thorough, even the response to classmates. Major group project that goes through out the whole semester. He does respond to emails pretty fast and offers lots of extra credit

Comment:
A lot of work is given out, but as long as it gets done there's no problem. Basically offers more extra credit points than actual assignments that makes it much easier to keep a high grade. Very sweet and makes a lot of jokes. The only thing that is not very great is that he constantly sends out many emails, which get frustrating sometimes.

Very easy class to get an A in. He is a very easy teacher. I do have to say he does give out a lot of work, so make sure you balance your schedule. He does give out a lot of extra credit opportunities. He sends out a lot of emails, which gets very annoying. Other than that, this a very easy class to get an A in.

He may seem very hard, but truth of the matter is he is so easy. Yes you do a lot of work, a lot of writing, but its so easy. He is such an easy grader. One thing though, he bombards with tons of emails. He is a great teacher though! Easy A.

He is the best CD professor! It may be a lot of work but he is there to help you! I do not regret taking this class at ALL! Most of the students get As or Bs.

Comment:
Assigns WAY too much work. It is infuriating. Three major assignments due in the last 2 weeks of class. Are you kidding me? He words questions on tests weirdly and makes no sense. I'm sure he is nice but there is entirely TOO much work for a CD class. He comes off rude in his emails too.

I took his online class. He gives a lot of work but it's easy. His instructions are clear. He communicates very well and will let you turn in late work. Basically, if you do all the work, you'll pass. Plenty of extra credit as well. He's not a difficult grader.

Great professor who offers more than enough information and clarity. Almost too much to the point where it is overwhelming. He loves what he teaches and does a great job at it. He is helpful and knowledgeable.

At the beginning you might get overwhelmed with his 20 page syllabus but this class is super easy! Professor Marsden is super nice and cares. I took the hibrid class and all the tests are online so you can use your book. Do your work and you will get an A. :)

I took his CD 284 course due to the great comments about him on here. Yes he is willing to help but the students who ask for it and he response back quickly to any questions. This was a hybrid class so there were meetings in class and meetings online. I was very overwhelmed with this class from the very first day. Theres alot of reading and work.

An amazing teacher, the type of teacher that you wish you had for every single class ever taken throughout college. Extremely responsive, kind, understanding, helpful, and incredibly passionate about what he teaches. You won't regret taking him, a true role model
