Reviews of professor Mary Martucci

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Martuci, in my opinion, is a good teacher. Although she does read directly from the slides; she does help with any questions we have. Practice exams are aligned with the exams. Just read the assigned chapters, practice all exams the week before the exam, and ask questions. Also, participation matters for group assignments. Take at your own risk.

She posts video lectures every week on YouTube. She expects you to do 2 quizzes per week, group worksheets, and ALEKS homework done by Saturday night. You should manage your time for this class. The SI's and TA's have several office hours open in case you need help. The tests take up a large portion of your grade, so you better study for them.

I loved Dr. Martucci! The class was kinda self taught, but its organized and she provides lots of resources. Watch her lectures, theres content for tests that isnt explained in depth in the book. Go to SI/TA/her office hours. Exams were open book - take good notes + do all of the practice exams! Small amt of extra credit, and an exam is dropped.

Everything about this professor was fine except for these awful group worksheets. Having to work with random strangers on the internet for the entirety of the semester is a terrible experience, and one that I would never want to have again.

This is a hard class on her own but having to teach yourself is even worse. She goes through all of the important material really quick and spends way too much time on the easy topics.

She assigned 12-18 hours per week of online homework on top of lab work, including during test weeks. She is very unapproachable and not willing to work out problems I was stuck on, she just referred me to the book. Her lectures are not helpful, she doesn't focus enough time on explaining examples that we might see on a test. Hard tests, no curve.

Not sure teaching is what she should be doing. Without mentioning grading she made this class very difficult to get through. She was very nice and maybe it's her first year but compared to my last college chemistry teacher she was bad.

For a teacher, Dr. Martucci is one of the worst at public speaking in a lecture hall, will read directly off the lecture slides. Tests are extremely difficult and she did not give any constant answers during office hours or with in-class help. All of the in-class handouts and iclicker were only participation and were not graded.

Professor Martucci is very kind and knowledgeable, however her teaching style is not compatible with online learning. The class consists of hours of reading, minimally helpful lecture videos, group work, quizzes, and Aleks almost every week. Lots of unnecessary busy work and the majority of learning I did was on my own or through Youtube videos.
