Comment:

I dont understand why he is useless. David Martin has specific teaching experience. There are times the class is tough to understand. But he makes you work for it. Giving you quizzes every week in class isn't a big deal it wakes you up. He gives lab homework and his grades assignments hes not like other teachers that dont grade hw.

Comment:

I just feel like he just made his course difficult on purpose . On the first day, he told us that more than 50 % of his students fail so i don't know if its his fault or the students. He gives out quizzes everyday which is fine but what he teaches in class is completely irrelevant to what he gives out just as stated in the comments below.

His class was okay. I would recommend lots of studying outside of class because his voice is little monotone so makes you sleepy in class.

Worst CIS teacher ever... Seriously he needs to retire or something. He seems like a pretty decent guy but what he teaches is completely irrelevant to what he gives out in his exams. Trust me just take another teacher and get a better grade.

Comment:

CIS 111 in general is a pretty boring. You basically learning the fundamentals of programming so don't look for this class to be extremely fun. Just study hard. Learn these fundamentals and look forward to taking CIS 111b. Trust me. Make sure you take Professor Kendall Martin for 111b. Her teaching style is inspiring and you work on cool stuff.

He definitely prepares you for 111b. Make sure you read the book ahead of or after he lectures on this topic. The book definitely explain concepts alot better. Reason why I feel he prepared me was because he tests you on every detail explained in the book which is needed in understanding java so you can program fun stuff in 111b.

Comment:

Awful. Makes a very difficult subject even more difficult. Java isn't the easiest subject in the world to learn--and he makes it even more difficult. Some people are great teachers. Some are great business people. You need to know your strengths. Don't care if he's great in business. Lousy at teaching a difficult subject; that I love, java.

Comment:

I took him twice. I felt the difficulty of his class was fair, The exams were short answer and multiple choice. The daily quizzes he gives, do help you papare for the exams. His grading criteria is clearly laid out. If you do the homework, you should be able to pass the class with no issuies.

Comment:

Don't take this Professor if you have learning differences. His learning style doesn't work for someone who has learning issues. Labs vary, quizzes are almost daily, which is fine, but he doesn't explain the material in simple terms. He makes things complicated than they need to be... His voice will make you go to sleep. I love compsci,

Follows the syllabus. You will have a quiz at the beginning of each class based on the current topic. All test and quizzes are open book. Test your knowledge on quizzes to see your proficiency on the topic through tricky questions.

Expects you to have basic knowledge before class and have all chapters read. Doesnt waste any class time, and uses all of his time proficiently. He is quite experienced and a knowledgeable programmer although he is not good at teaching.

Comment:

I am not sure this is the right class for Mr. Martin to teach. I felt that most of the class was confused on the overall subject. He DID give his all and was very nice and definitely knew the information,just teaching us the information was not clear enough. That may be because of a student who kept disrupting the class.

Comment:

Professor Martin covers the material very well and clearly has a passion for it. After the first few classes it becomes obvious that he is a computer veteran with enormous amounts of experience. He provides a great overall learning experience and many examples from his career for the practical reasons behind material covered. Great Professor.

Comment:

Prof D. Martin is a absolute gentleman. open book quizs, multiple choice exams, lots of extra credits, lowered bar.. He does everything to help you pass the class. There is one minor thing about him though. Sometimes he spends too much time helping out students who falls behind. some advanced students may find this little boring..

Comment:

This guy was meant to teach computers. He's been in the business for quite some time and knows the way things work. I wanted to take assembler with him put they had to cancel the class. In my opinion, he is the best instructor they have in the CIS department. I've only had 6 of them, but he's best
