He takes forever to respond to emails and he takes forever to release grades. He is very disorganized and bad with time management. He grades the big assignments harshly and makes it difficult for no reason to get a good grade in his class. He is very condescending and annoying. He tries too hard to seem cool and young but it does make it easier to pay attention to his lecture.

Best professor I've ever had. He was so nice, caring, and funny and really explained the material well. The lectures were engaging and easy to understand and the exams were directly related to them. He was super easy to talk to and the assignments were graded fairly. I highly recommend having him as a professor.

Pros: Very funny and witty. Knows how to keep a class engaged. Cons: Inability to update grades throughout the semester, when asked for help his go to repsonse is something along the lines of "look at the syllabus" or "its probably somewhere on the rubric" i.e he is not very helpful is grasping abetter understanding of the assignments. To me, it seemed like Smith School needed someone to teach this class, so they told him to. He loves to discuss his 120K annual salary.

Do not take this class. He's a nice guy but his structure made this class intolerable. Exams are based off a textbook completely different from the one in the syllabus. Took forever to grade assignments, and provided almost no feedback on the major group project. Doesn't matter if there are cool examples in class/music, the way this course was organized sucked.

THE WORST PROFESSOR I'VE HAD IN SMITH. Marr's class makes a relatively easy course much more difficult than it needs to be, filling it with statistical data that we talk about for 2 seconds and then referring to it on an exam, talking about music, and watching long movie clips and trying to relate it to the class. Marr is also not very responsive at the end of the semester and seems to pull grades out of his ass. Avoid him at all costs if you want to keep your GPA from taking a hit from a BS smith course.

This course consumed most of my weekly schedule. It involves tedious and irrelevant busy work tasks. Attendance and participation carry substantial weight, and the workload comprises numerous assignments and projects. We were tasked with writing papers, extensive group projects, exams, and daily hours of assignments, even on Thanksgiving. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone aiming for an effortless 'A'. Disregard reviews rating it above 2 stars, as they are not truthful. While the instructor might come off as kind and understanding, he talks down to his students and acts as if we are in elementary school.

Way too much busy work. Had 7 assignments due one sunday, and there is no direction given for the group project. Nice lectures but the work doesn't match up well and seems unnecessary.

I would not advise taking his class. His lectures are all over the place and really don't teach you anything. He has exams on a bunch of random things that he has "taught" and gives you a study guide that's not helpful at all. He also teaches based off of his opinion, which I thought was extremely unprofessional. Attendance is also important even though you don't do anything of value in his classes.

This class took up the majority of my time during the week. He has you do unnecessary busy work assignments that are boring and no one cares about. Will take attendance, exams are not open note/are not easy, class is mandatory and participation is weighted heavily, and will give you a ton of assignments/projects. We had to write papers, large group projects, exams, and hours worth of assignments every day (including thanksgiving). Wouldnt recommend to anyone looking for an easy A. Dont listen to any review above a 2 star because its not accurate. Sure hes a nice guy and outgoing, but the class just sucks.

Saw that this review was super off so I had to write one. Specifically took another one of his classes after my first experience, above everything else he cares for his students. Makes sure everyone can share, plays music and videos, learns every student's name by the end of the semester, and just actually has energy in class. You can tell he loves to teach and that makes it a lot easier to learn.

I liked Professor Marr. He's very open minded and different from other Professor's. He plays music for the first 5ish min of class and breaks down his new favorite songs, its pretty cool. He also integrates many Youtube videos and relatable examples into the course content, he is also pretty engaging. I liked him as a Professor more than the class itself.

Class is actually a lot of fun. He makes the material super interesting. Tests aren't hard tbh and Professor Marr is approachable. Very accommodating for COVID/health-related issues.

I read the past reviews and was scared to take Professor Marr, but I was completely wrong. His class is a blast and he cares about his students. There is no real way to study for exams but they are open notes so along with you know the material you will do just fine. He uses a lot of media examples in this PowerPoint.

Only option for management minor teacher - quizzes are either hard or decent, always different. Tests impossible no matter how hard you study.

He is an awful professor. The quizzes are nothing like the exams, the quizzes you can read the entire chapter and think you understand and still fail the quizzes. The exams are all application when he does not speak about application at all during the course. He is an awful professor and is very unapproachable. If you can avoid taking this class, do so.
