Comment:

I loved my A&P class with Dr. Martin! I took it during the summer II session and our labs were just learning the bones in a small group. Lectures lasted at most 2 hours and our lab was 30 minutes-one hour. If we had a test or lab practical that day we could leave right after. The labs weren't very fun but it was a simple, straightforward class.

Comment:

Dr. Martin is a very genuine person. He loves teaching his class. I had him for anatomy and physiology. He explains everything very, very clearly. I hate science and he made me like it. His tests make you really apply the concepts, but not in a super hard way at all. You can easily make a 100% in his class if you study well enough.

Dr Martin is the best teacher I have ever had. He knows his material like the back of his hand and the book is definitely not necessary! He will help you out anyway you need and there is little to no work outside of class you have to do than study! I would take him over and over again. You will learn what you need to succeed in his class and beyond

The beginning of the semester he requires attendance. First and second test are hardest, rest are easy. He lets you out of class early. Perfect light-load class. Only tests, no assignments.

I really liked Dr. Martin! He is a very nice guy and gives it to you straight. He does a good job on simplifying the material and only telling you information that you need to know. Whatever he lectures on in class is whats on the test. Take good notes! Test questions can be tricky so you need to really understand the concepts.

Comment:

Everything he says in lecture will be on your test so no surprises. Very blunt and to the point. Lab points are super helpful in boosting your grade and usually last like 15 min. All test are around 30 true or false so read slowly. Only grades in class besides labs are your tests.

Comment:

I took Dr. Martin for General Pharmacology during a May Intersession. I would definitely recommend him! He does not have any other points other than test points, so you have to do well on the tests. He is very organized and intelligent on the subject. He deeply cares for his students and wants everyone to do well. Did not use a textbook.

If you have the chance to take Dr. Martin for any class, do it! You will fall in love with him as a teacher and person. I've had him for 3 courses and loved him even more each time. So smart, straight to the point, funny, and teaches useful info. Go to class and take good notes. Textbook use depends on class. Best teacher I've ever had!

Comment:

Dr. Martin was a great teacher. He lets you out early a lot of the time and does not try to teach more material than what he has time for. He picks a few subjects to focus on and teaches very well. Tests are application and are pretty hard, but if you study hard and understand the material, you should be okay.

Dr. Martin was the best teacher I've ever had. He makes learning so much fun, and I was always happy to go to his class. He does not just skim over things, he actually want you to learn, He makes class very interesting and will explain something until everyone understands it. Lab is easy, you have a case study almost every week.

Dr. Martin is an amazing professor. He teaches you exactly what he want to know for the test. He doesn't try to trick you with this information. I would highly recommend you voice recording his lectures. He goes above and beyond to teach you the right material. He doesn't waste your time with "Trivial" information. Everything is useful.

I loved Dr. Martin! I had him for both A&P 1&2! His test come straight from his lectures and while you don't have to purchase a book it can be helpful for the figures. He cares for his students so much and won't hesitate to help you outside of class! you do have to study to pass his class. I'm so excited to take him for my nursing classes!

Overall I love him!! His tests are brutal though. Pretty much all true/false. He uses the book some but the examples he gives makes it more relatable. Like he says, he's a big picture guy and thank goodness because that book has a lot of stuff in it.I would take him again though.

Dr. Martin is fantastic. He knows what he is talking about but still teaches in a way that is easy to understand if you are willing. His tests are only based on lectures, if you take good notes and study them you will do fine. No homework. If you study you will pass.

Your grade is made up of 4 test and the final with a few labs but the test are where it's at. You have to attend the lectures. All his testing materials come from that. Not much reading or use of the book. He's strict but you'll learn what you're supposed to and it'll stick with you. Wonderful professor

One of the best Professors you will ever have. EVERY student respects him and appreciates how easily he breaks down tough subjects. He was a doctor and only focuses on what it important. Take notes. He does not use a book or powerpts. Focus on studying for tests and acing lab. Don't let format of tests trip you. Class was so good I didn't mind a B.

Comment:

Dr. Martin is extremely kind and every student respects him. His only grades are his exams so you need to do well on those. Take very good notes during class because that will be pretty much the only resource you have for the exams (the book isn't very helpful). Shortest labs ever!! One lab last 4 minutes, the rest lasted less than 15 minutes.

I LOVE THIS MAN. Dr. Martin is one of the professor who really cares about what he does and his students. I have been to his office hours many times confused and he is always so happy to help. He makes hard concepts very simple to understand and is very concerned with his students actually learning what he is teaching. Best professor ever.
