Comment:

I took organic chem many years ago. It was a life-changing class, so challenging. I'd never scored so low on an exam. By the end of class, I figured out that the person getting the highest scores all the time memorized reactions by names and categorized them all together rather than the specific reactions he does on the board. Scored high finally!

Comment:

He is always available for extra help however his help isn't always what you might be looking for. He isn't prepared to just show you how to do it, he just guides you to the answer. Also when he tells you to look at something in the book, it will be on the test even if he doesn't go over it.

Comment:

His word is gospel. He is the greatest professor there has been and ever will be. He has an army of doctors, and PhDs at his disposal to bring down the system. He is a god among men. Hilarious when he yells at Fischer and Kately, classic.

Professor Martin is an absolute genius. I havent met another person on this planet who is as passionate about their work as he is. His class is not easy, but if you spend time with the material and care about it, it is hard to do badly.

Comment:

This man's class will irreparably damage your transcript. Be prepared to be dubbed "marginal" and "inadequate". If you must take Organic, transfer the credit or understand that you have been warned.

As a Ph.D. student I'm thankful to have taken Dr. Martin's Organic Chemistry class. He will teach you not only the fundamentals of organic, but will push you to achieve your best. Highly, highly recommend this course!

Comment:

He was grumpy, unpleasant, and would yell at students who came in to ask for help. He has made me and several peers break down into tears and ultimately we dropped the class. The class began with close to 40 students, and ended with just under 20

Very good professor. One of the most challenging, but I learned so much from him. You are not complete as a student until you have taken a class from him
