This was the easiest gov class I have ever taken. All the quizzes and tests are on quizlet. Not a lot of work, just discussions and quizzes weekly, and two tests and final.

There is a quiz every week which you have four chances to take it and he takes the highest score. There is a discussion board every week where you reply to three topics and reply to one student. All in all this is such an easy A. Take his class!

Professor Martinez is an amazing teacher! If you have to take POL1101 take him- it is worth it. There are only 4 exams for the whole semester but he gives extra credit via having to watch (super entertaining) movies. He is a great lecturer and is pretty funny as well. He actually made it interesting to learn about politics!

His lectures keep you awake because hes funny & makes the material interesting. This is one of the few classes where I barely had to study bc I learned while listening to his lectures! I had his Sat class & he made it so bearable. I somehow forgot to go to 1 lecture & he went over the ENTIRE thing w me after the following weeks class. Love him!

Professor Martinez is a great professor. His test do require fill in the blank & multiple choice but he also provides extra credit on each test (10 point), he has optional exam reviews (helpful if you miss a class) & if you don't like your grade, you can write a make up paper. He gives you plenty of opportunities to get a decent grade.

He is a great professor and very funny and friendly. Took this class Spring semester 2017. The only grades are 4 test grades, having the final being the 4 test. Final is not cumulative. The only issue I had with this class was that half the test (50 points) is fill in the blank with no word bank. If this does not bother you,then you should do fine

Comment:

Obviously, government is not a popular class. But he understands that completely so he makes his lectures as interesting as possible! He's REALLY funny, and gives extra credit (a max of 10 points) on each test just by watching a movie at home! His classes are on Saturdays, but honestly, he's worth it! You will not regret taking him!

Martinez is by far the GREATEST Professor I've ever had. I actually ENJOYED learning about politics & how he lectures w/ humor. Unlike most Professors who don't give af, he actually cares about you passing. There's 10 bonus you can get just by watching political movies! He also briefed me on an ENTIRE lecture when I accidentally missed a class once

Best teacher I've had in a long time! Yes, it was a Saturday class and that sucked but he honestly made up for it. You don't need the text book at all, like DONT BUY IT. The test are easy if you go over the powerpoints and pay attention in class. Gives 10 points extra credit on every test. He keeps you laughing, great guy! Wish he was full time!

Hilarious guy who knows his stuff when it comes to politics. Attending class and taking notes is pretty important. We had one paper, and I think three exams. All of the lectures are funny and full of content that will be on the exams so pay attention. Would take again if needed.

I loved this professor, fantastic, knowledgeable, and very funny. Interesting lectures! By all means this class is not a breeze, study his power points, do the extra credit, and you will do well.

GREATEST Professor EVER! If you pay attention in class, write down the important things he says, and study, you'll get an A. He's very energetic when he teaches which keeps you wide awake & focused. Gives hints as to how each topic will look like on the test and is very helpful in helping you fully grasp the info. Don't even bother with txtbk.

This teacher has obviously been teaching this course for a long time. He has every lecture down to the minute, you will not get out of the class early. With that being said, the lectures easily help pass the tests. If you pay attention and follow his slides you will pass. My end grade was a 98% without doing extra credit.

Comment:

Dr. Martinez loves to teach, and it is evident in the fact that he has been doing it for the past 20 years. If you actually want to learn something, I strongly recommend you take this class. If you're not willing to do the work, don't expect to make the grade. That's life. Show up, pay attention and ask questions.

Super animated (in a good way) extremely thorough, gives great examples of everything he teaches. No papers, no quizzes, just 4 tests and they're EXACTLY what he teaches in class. If you want to learn plus get an A, I highly recommend you take his class. Don't miss class. He gives a two hour test review the week before every test. Be there.

Comment:

He's a good teacher I won't lie. But I would recommend not taking him!! Especially the Saturday class! You only have a PowerPoint to read and study from 3 test and 1 final. And you can do a makeup paper if you don't like your test grade. But he's gonna grade it hard. Just brace yourself if taking this class. No homework though. Just reading.
