Reviews of professor Esther Martinez

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She was an excellent professor at first, but things changed after exam 1.We thought understanding her material would suffice for Exam 2. But no one understood how her teachings related to the exam due to the difficulty. After grading our papers, even admitted that "it's not designed for us to complete." It's so unfair to us.

If you struggle with math she explains well and gives note packets with good detail. She's not super exciting, but answers questions in class and gives extra credit on exams. Could bring index card to exams which was helpful. Homework is all due the day before exams, but it's best to keep up with it as she goes through lectures over the weeks.

She taught SOOO slowly, but it was clear and I did learn stuff better than I did in high school. The homework was annoying and not reflective of her tests. The group work was also kind of weird and her tests/quizzes were so bad, everyone did badly. She does drop a quiz at the end of the semester.

Despite giving ec and partial credit on exams, she has boring lectures that only touch the surface of the content. The hw has unlimited attempts, but the q's don't line up with the lectures and same for the exams. She is inaccessible outside of class and did not respond to my emails. If you need extra help outside of class, this prof isn't for you.
