Reviews of professor Shadai Martin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The worst teacher that could have ever been recruited, I genuinely don't know how she is still able to work at NMSU. I've lost all passion in my career choice , and she was the reason I withdrew.She's a bully, and if you don't know the answer she never taught you, you'll be humiliated; there's no rubric, so you'll always be inaccurate.

I took this class as an extra curricular, outside my degree plan. I'm very interested in nutrition, however, this professor is unbelievably strict that she made the class miserable. She uses a plagiarism check website and docks points for questions that ask what the book said, even when it was written in our own words. She uses lockdown browser.

DO NOT take this course or any course with this professor. She does not know what she is doing sometimes, she reads off of the slides, her exams are over stuff that was not covered, she says one thing the book says another and the exam has neither or you have to choose between her answer or the books. Take the course with someone else. Stay away.

Attendance is taken on random days. Like every other class, read the chapter and review the power points. Review questions in the power point and at the back of the book come back in exams. Quizzes and assignments are done and turned in online. Very helpful during office hours.

I took Shadai Martin's HNDS 251 class in Fall 2018. She hates students showing up even 1 minute late, so aim to arrive early. She sometimes even closes the door and has it locked and will not let late students in. She gives some extra credit and takes attendance on random days. Her lectures are based on the PowerPoints and a bit of commentary.
