You do not know your grade in the class until after the final. The class is based on tests so do good on them. The final is cumulative and I 100percent do not recommend this teacher.

He doesn't know what he is talking about, I feel that most people in my class could teach the subject better than him. There is an insane amount of homework, don't make the same mistake I did and take his class. Its an L.

Comment:

Majority of the class was struggling, and he taught the material extremely fast with little detail. I think he forgot that he's teaching people new concepts because he expects students to grasp everything just by watching him. He also talked the whole 2hrs with no break, and didnt let us practice problems on our own. Terrible teacher don't take him

Comment:

I tried to take MATH342 in the summer and it was VERY difficult. Unless you took algebra/calculus the semester before, I would not recommend him. He lectures through everything extremely fast and expects you to know/remember all the concepts already. Grade is exam based - on which you are not allowed to use any notes/cheat sheet. I had to drop it.

Comment:

Unless you are able to teach yourself math, I do not recommend this professor. He gives zero help outside of the My Math Lab and he doesn't respond to emails. The homework is worth only 10% of your grade so even if you do all of the assignments you have to do very well on the tests to pass.

Comment:

Speeds through lecture. Then makes slick comments before he hands out the test which is obvious that hes handing you an exam full of trick questions that were not on study guide. He puts questions on the test that he didnt go over .Your grade is determined by Tests only . Avoid this Professor if you can . Seems he wants students to struggle.

Comment:

Just really makes learning math not fun Speeds through lecture and gives study guides that have you preparing for all the wrong stuff . Handed out the test and said it was going to be easier than the study guide but it was actually more difficult . Im convinced that this professor wants students to hate math . One of the worst math professors.

Comment:

Professor Martinez course ins't as difficult as many people on here make it out to be. The best way to just get an A is pay attention to the lectures, do the online homework, and study for the exams since they are worth your grade. He posts study guide reviews on his D2L and has videos on how specific problems are done from different sections.

This is a terrible class. Don't take it. If you struggle with math; you might just fail. My ratings keep disappearing and I'd like to know why?? This professor deserves 0 stars.

Comment:

He is the worst. Your grades are dependent solely on just your exams and you have to teach yourself because lectures are filled with mistakes. He's also really sensitive and tries to embarrass you for leaving early and threatens to drop you from the class. Take any other professor, he makes this class unnecessarily harder than it needs to be.

The Hybrid On-line class is not the way to go if you struggle in math. I like Professor Martinez but we need another 4 hour Saturday class for Algebra 100 not this Hybrid crap.

Comment:

UGH. This prof, tho. If you take his online class, expect to teach yourself entirely from the textbook. THERE ARE NO LECTURES. Just short videos going through sample problems. Feedback is lacking when you ask questions. You really need to be motivated to make it through this class, so maybe choose another professor if you really want to learn.

If it wasn't for Professor Martinez, I wouldn't have passed Pre-Algebra. It was a 4 hour Saturday class and I wish they had the same thing for Algebra but they don't.

Comment:

Horrible professor, worst class I have ever taken. Almost impossible to pass as he doesn't actually teach the lessons but expects you to teach yourself using the textbook. You will be dropped if you have a grade below 75% on any homework. Very defensive of his grading system even though it causes many students to fail! BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE

Comment:

I took the course during the summer. It's a tough course and the fact that its a 6-week makes it even harder but he provided test samples with the solutions. He also allowed us to use 1-page cheat sheet on one of the exams and provided formula sheet for two exams including the final. Overall, he is a good professor.

Comment:

First two tests were easy. Before passing out the 3rd test he specifically stated that because he didn't see enough people taking notes during lecture, he made the 3rd test longer and more difficult. More than half of the class dropped throughout the summer session. He also lectures at an extremely fast pace.
