Reviews of professor Michele Martinez

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Originally afraid I wasn't going to end with an A in her class. Definitely makes you work for the grade and actually improve your writing. Definitely attend office hours (you get solid advice and clarify questions) and ask her questions about how you can improve your writing. No need to buy They Say, I Say or Writing Guide (useless books).

Dr. Martinez is the best english teacher I've ever had throughout my whole education. There are only three major papers, but the media you analyze is so engaging that they don't feel like chores. Assignments are very spaced out, and discussions are engaging. You get 3 grace days for the semester, so deadlines are not stressful.

I took the dystopia class in the Fall, and I would recommend it to anyone needing the hub unit. She focuses on argument and prose, so do not worry too much if your writing skills are subpar (mine are but I managed to do well). If you spend time thinking about an argument and an angle to relate the material to reality, you will do well.

Easily my favorite professor! She's knowledgeable and passionate about dystopian works and such a sweet woman. The readings and films are interesting, as well as the essay topics. She's so helpful with the writing process, providing thorough comments on drafts and at her office hours. She's understanding with extensions and makes WR120 enjoyable.
