Comment:

Dr. Martin's class is definitely not an "easy A." If you want an A you will have to WORK hard for it. He curves all of his tests (3) and final. The only bad thing about his class is the quizzes which he cumulates and is only 10% of your final grade. He really cares about his students and wants them to learn. I would definitely recommend him!

Comment:

Dr. Martin is not a bad teacher, but I feel as though he presents this class as more of an upper-level class. To put it simply, he has to curve each test by at least 30 points for people to pass. In my opinion, a good teacher should not have to curve that harshly. The quizzes are only 5 names but you have to read so much. final is 40% !!!!!!

Dr. Martin is a great professor. This makes four classes that I have taken with him and I have enjoyed them all. Pay attention and be attentive in class or youll be caught off guard by one of his questions. Study the notes and youll do fine on the exams.

Dr. Martin is a wonderful man who is very respected. He will give you everything you need for the test, but you need to be prepared to read and take his criticism. He is a tough grader and will make you work very hard for your grade but its worth it. He prepares you for higher education.

Comment:

Dr Martin teaches this class as if it is a 400 level. He is impossible- I have a 4.0 as a senior, until now. MOST PEOPLE ARE BELOW a C average. He includes test questions which he didnt lecture about (he knows this and said this is why I curve. His quizzes are over 100 pages, which he only picks 5 names to test on! He is BORING AND DRY

He is amazing and will remember you after two weeks of class, OH yeah! you will be amazed.

Comment:

Dr. Martin clearly knows what he is lecturing about but also knows how to break it down in ways you understand it too. The quizzes are probably the most difficult part of the class. Take advantage of all the extra credit opportunities. He posts study guides for the test. Overall a very genuine and caring prof!

very bad experience. nice guy but thinks way too highly of a basic, gen-ed western civ course. has to curve the tests by 20 points each time just to give you a passing grade. save yourself the trouble and take another prof

Comment:

I am not good at history, but Dr. Martin made it a little easier. Don't miss class because it will hurt your participation and you will miss very important material. He does offer extra credit so take advantage of that. His test are hard, but if you wrote down everything on the slides and anything he said, you will be fine. Just make sure to study!

Dr. Martin is wonderful! He doesn't tell you which people are on the quizzes so BE PREPARED. Mostly well known people, but get the hang of the quizzes and you're golden! Tests are fairly hard, but for the final test study ALL old tests! He offers extra credit and is so caring. Tough class, but he makes it interesting and fun.

I absolutely love this man! He cuts to the chase while delivering an exceptional education. You totally feel your tuition was put to good use in Dr. Martin and you wish the mediocre professors would take a class with him as to how to properly teach. His grading criteria is clear and will assist you and welcome you if you need help.

Great teacher. He tries to help you understand, but he makes you work really hard to get a good grade in that class. Not impossible though as long as you get to know how he grades.

Very formal guy. He lectures the entire time but actually makes it pretty interesting. Tests are hard but he curves each of them by 8-10 points. Know the names of the people in each chapter and what they did for the quizzes. Cumulative Final is worth 40% of your grade so be prepared for it. He actually cares if you understand the material.

I absolutely loved Dr. Martin's History-111 class and I plan on taking all of his classes that are relevant to my major. He is very knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Dr. Martin is the ideal professor every student should have. He's entertaining and wise. He's welcoming and honest. He grades fairly and will curve the grade when needed.

Dr. Martin really showed me what a college course is like. Go through the chapters for quizzes and make notecards for EVERY name regarding quizzes. Tests are a challenge, but his extra credit helps more than you think. DO EVERY EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY.

Very sweet man. Hard quizzes and test, but always gives a nice curve on the test. Makes his lectures interesting, plus he has to get in his celebrity birthdays right after our break. Oh, he gives us a short break about 20 minutes before class is over.

Great professor. Although he is hard you really grow as a student. You have to earn a d or f to receive it. As long as you listen, participate, and can write well you will be fine. He loves what he does and is always there to help.

Professor Martin is an excellent teacher. He gets the point across, he gets the whole class involved, and he looks out for each of his students. The only thing I struggle with for his class are the quizzes and tests. Make sure you know everything you need to for the quizzes, and read every little piece of your notes for your test or you won't pass!
