He sucks.He never lectures. he takes attendance and dismisses us. I don't get why i paid for this class if he never teaches us anything. i'm pissed this will lower my GPA for sure.I need to talk to a DEAN.We go to class take attendance, says he forgot his lecture slides or repeats a lesson and then we go home an hour early.I'm mad. Horrible teacher

Comment:

Dr. Martin is the best yet hardest professor I ever took in my years at SAC. I took him for two courses in the mid 1970's. He is a great lecturer and a fair test giver. His exam essay questions are difficult,yes, but not unfairly so. If you love history; if you can read comprehensively and analytically; and if you can write well, take Dr. Martin.

Comment:

This was by far the hardest class I took for my first semester of college! Mr. Martin is a great guy as a person, but he expects way too much! His exams are all essays and he expects you to know every little detail! If you're ok with getting a C or lower take his class, if not, RUN!

Comment:

If you're just trying to get units for your general ed, this is not for you. Quizzes are given almost every class session and he is a very hard grader on essays. He'll give you 8 essay questions to study before the exam, pick four of the essay questions, and then you only answer you. You basically waste your time studying 6 extra essay questions.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. There is a reason he has over 40 ratings. This is my first time rating a teacher because I need to vent. 1.) Not a teacher.. You take pages of notes almost every class that he reads word for word off a slides show. 2.) He Is very slow 3.) GPA killer. Test are all essay question in which he grades very hard. 4.) BORING!

Comment:

Do not take his class. His lectures are to mixed and he goes to fast to take any notes. His assistant was not my favorite to say in the nicest way. The final is 3 essays and 5 descriptions of people or places. I would advise that you pick another teacher. I mean look at his ratings... Nice guy but not a good teacher.

Comment:

Great professor, easy reading quizzes and essays. You do NOT have to be a good writer or be smart, you just need to READ. Those who didn't read got a bad grade. Those who did got a great grade. If you go to SAC, there won't be an easier History 101 teacher. Just READ for the quizes and STUDY for the exams, and you'll be good.

Comment:

He was an ok professor. You have to do the reading for the quizzes, and you have to be a good writer for the exams, but if you pay attention and do the reading it isn't really all that hard. I got a B+. He does like to hear himself talk though...

Dr. Martin is a great history professor. If you do the work required, and take responsibility for your own grade, you will like him. If you don't do those things, you won't like him.

Comment:

Professor is useless w/o his t.a. test r essays which in my opinion are b.s. he grades on his oponion not the facts. Tests are all from his lectures and power points which are horrible! He forgets what he's talking about half the time. And relies 80% on is assistant.

Comment:

His tests are based on his lectures, not the textbook. He won't let you record lectures. His grading is harsh. You'll end up working thrice as hard as you would for another history class. So unless you're in love with history AND are a part time student, don't take his class. Your GPA will suffer, I got a B and I worked harder on this than math 140

Comment:

He's a great professor, but getting an A is rare. If you're interested in history and do well in it, I recommend taking him. He lectures well and isn't boring. But if you hate history and you're just trying to get by your gen ed, don't. His grading will affect your GPA. He doesn't grade unfairly, he just grades hard. There's a difference.

Yes, this class is as hard as everyone is stating. I recommend this class for anyone that is a history major. If you love history, take this class. If you don't like history, like I, don't. Overall, he is a really, really, nice guy. As a professor, he is not the best.

Took his class a while ago at SCC. He expects you learn everything AND when you try your hardest for the BEWOLF essay, he will give you a low grade

ok professor, not all of us are willing to dedicated our life to history. Hard test, boring lecture, tend to get loud. Just try to avoid if you care for your GPA
