Comment:
Dr. Martin is one-of-a-kind. Precise is the teaching style he employs. I was a B to C student...attended all his (theoretical CS) classes, learned tons. His book has a lot to be desired (simply because it's difficult to comprehend w/o going to his classes). In the end, after I graduated, I named my new puppy "Martin" after him.

Not as good as he is in Theoretical Computer Sciences, but Dr. Martin is still awesome. He is extremely fair and if you seek him for help, he'll make sure you understand. Don't be put off by his blatant honesty.

Comment:
Dr. Martin knows his stuff and is a wonderful professor -- probably the best in the CS department. He is always helpful yet does not just 'give' you the answers. To be honest, a lot of the material is very difficult, but if you apply yourself and take advantage of his office hours, you will do just fine.

He is one smart cookie. Always helpful, always explains everything until you understand it. Just go to his office hours and he'll help you tons. His tests are very hard but he has a nice grading scale. Talks down to you a bit, but don't take it personally. My favorite professor.

He knows his stuff. But his tests are very hard, sometimes it feels as though he talks down to you if you do not know what you are doing, thus making you feel like an idiot. Very generous with late polocies though.

Comment:
Great Professor, especially for a beginning CS class. Generous with late policy in that he forgot to deduct points for late papers. You do a lot of programming, so you actually learn the material rather than just reading a book for theory. Go to class, you learn a lot by listening to him. He knows all the students' names by week three too.

I think he maybe a great teacher to some who understand him but for me he explaind things that were hard to understand. I would recomend him if you have had previous java programing class if not then try someone else.

He is a great teacher, but his classes are extremely difficult. If you have him as a teacher be sure you attend every class as most test material comes from class.

He is probably the best professor you can have for 160. Although, if you're not meant for Computer Science, you will not enjoy him. He is always willing to help out a student and if you attend class and make an honest attempt you will always get at least a C, even if you didn't deserve it.Great guy

I had him for CS235, CS236, and CS467. I am VERY glad he's good at teaching considering he's the only prof. that teaches those required classes. I also had him for CS160 (best prof. for it). Knows what he's talking about and very helpful. Don't slack off with homework or attendance though.

If you go to class, and you're not an idiot, you'll do fine. At times class can be quite dull, but he tends to have some hilarious moments. Defintely my favorite professor in the CS department.

Great teacher, hard classes are probably not for those who are lazy and dumb. If you spend as mush time studying as you whining, you probably could have ended up with a better grade. He's a GREAT teacher!!!

His classes are great! 235, 236, 467 are really enjoyeable. He is one of the best profs i've ever had. Those who complain about Dr. Martin must not know what they are talking about, for sure they don't know what the classes are about...

Vague and unclear lectures. Does not aim his teaching at the level of the students. His book is laced with poor exercises, unhelpful examples and inconsistency. Imbalanced tests. Often condemming and defense attitude during lecture, or when questioned.

Comment:
He doesn't explain anything. It's supposed to be "obvious." The book (he wrote) is a joke. It sounds like him exactly as he talks in class. I don't want a book to lecture me,I want a book to explain things that I don't understand,not add to the
