Reviews of professor Sam Martin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Martin was amazing at communicating during COVID. If something was going to be different than normal, she emailed us to let us know. Also if she got behind on grading, she wouldnt hold it against us. She would extend the deadline so we could learn from the last assignment. She was a very sweet understand professor.

Professor Martin is one of the most amazing and thoughtful professors I have ever had. She really cares about her students and tries to make this class as manageable as possible. This class is heavy on reading and you have to do at least 3 book reports. Also she takes attendance so participation matters! If you attend class its an easy A.

Didn't know anything about the subject before taking her class. She's super passionate about what she's teaching, making it easy to pay attention in her class. She's very funny and nice and the workload is very straightforward. Read the books- you'll do just fine. Quizzes can be tough, but not too bad. Overall, really nice and helpful teacher!

The class was boring (IMO) but the professor is passionate about the subject. I think she had an off semester because she was very behind on grading, which was stressful on my end. Quizzes are medium difficulty. WATCH THE LECTURES. Midterm was difficult.

You must watch the lectures and follow each week. I didn't really care for the group project.

I recently took Professor Martin's film class and it was one of the most enjoyable classes I have ever taken. She made each class fun and engaging experience. Also, the films we watched we great! I definitely recommend Professor Martin for those required LBST classes.

I will say that I was a little intimidated when I first read the syllabus but Professor Martin did a great job of setting expectations and providing examples as guidance. Her use of lecture, reading, and film watching made the course interesting and fun. Her easygoing attitude made the course even better.

Currently taking Professor Martin and she's been extremely caring and understanding through all this coronavirus mess. She's changed due dates, given extensions, and seems to understand that we're stressed and overworked. Definitely makes a difference right now.
