Marshall is a great guy and is very passionate about the subject matter, but the circumstances of the class being only one day a week, with several weather/holiday cancellations, made it feel sort of disjointed.

Took this class for a lit requirement and honestly was the best class I could have picked! There were about 4 books assigned to read throughout the semester but only went through 2 (easy reads tbh). Very engaging lectures and is very passionate about the subject. He is a slow grader but other than that I really recommend this course!
