Comment:

His class is extremely dry. He lectures about readings from the book and doesn't really allow anybody to express his opinions. He is a overall nice guy and I don't think he wants anyone to do bad, but his online quizzes are way too difficult and there are copious amounts of really long, confusing readings he assigns.

Comment:

A nice man,but I regret taking his class.Students are not challenged except through a large workload (difficult quizzes due way before we go over in class)Comments/discussions are never well explained.His answer to a students question is always just "No" or "that's not it".Take another class from the dept b/c you will learn and benefit so much more

Comment:

Great professor--he really wants you to learn and do well in his course. Philosophically, he's something of an egalitarian, and he applies this approach to grading, extra credit opportunities, and assistance as needed. I wish that more students had participated in class discussion, but lazy people will be lazy people.

Great Professor! He really enjoys what he is teaching and gives a lot of handouts to help with understanding the material. He also gives a lot of opportunity for extra credit points.

Comment:

He's a great teacher! He's always willing to help and wants his students to do well. He's really good at what he teaches, and gives lots of worksheets and practice problems to do in class. He moves a bit too fast sometimes and assumes everyone knows the material, but is overall awesome!

Somtimes a little hard to understand, but he gives you every opportunity to succeed if you seek it out. Tons of review sessions, extensive in class explanations, so it's on you really if you can't pass.

Comment:

You WILL be able to understand him. I promise. Just, uh, give it a week or two. Outside of the accent, he's a great guy, very enthusiastic, honestly wants everyone to succeed and enjoy the material. Sometimes oversimplifies stuff in a way that comes back to bite you later if you don't REALLY get what you're doing. Great professor overall.

Comment:

I think he's very clear. He tends to repeat the material several times. His accent is not a problem after the first two classes. If you have any work ethic at all, you'll enjoy his classes.

He is a great professor. He explains everything clearly and understadably. The class does get harder over the semester, but there is always help available. The course was hard but the professor was very nice and a great teacher. Just make sure you go to class and do the homework.

Comment:

He was a good teacher, enthusiastic about the subject (intro to logic), and you DO get used to the accent. It's important to stay on top of the material, and also very difficult if you aren't really a linear thinker. But the prof is cool; if you're interested in logic, the course of worthwhile.

A very nice man who is definatly over excited with what he is doing. He has a lot of enthusiasum and he wants to see everyone learn and succeed. However, it is VERY hard to understand him due to his accent and the fact that he talks fast. BEWARE.....

Content's not too hard. The real challenge is translating what he says to English and staying awake as he rambles.

I highly disagree that he's a jerk..he's a nice guy and tries his best, but his accent is a bit difficult to decipher. I didn't have any problems with tests, papers, or class except his strict attendance requirement.

If you attempt to do the work, he'll answer your questions and attempt to help. However, it's a challenge to dechiper what he says in class and what he writes on the board.

This class is easy at the begining but has potential to bite you at the end. Prof. has a strong accent, but you get used to it. Definetly a class you don't want to skip.

Strongly disagree with anyone who speaks badly of professor marton. He is clear and understandable, eager to help, and very knowledgable. If you have trouble, i wouldnt be blaming the prof...
