Reviews of professor Wendy Martin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Martin is definitely not the most understanding or compassionate individual I have ever met. However, she is definitely knowledgeable and you'll have the opportunity to learn some interesting genetic concepts. The class is not difficult but can have a heavy workload at times. If you have a problem, go to the GA/TA before Dr. Martin.

Her TA Faith is the worst. Grades extra hard and doesn't help when people ask for it, super fake. 
Clear criteria isn't given, so you're just guessing on how to write up reports. 
If you have a shit group, you're just SOL. Dr. Martin does not care, and I think she enjoys seeing her students suffer. She and the TAs definitely play favorites.

Attendance isn't mandatory, but she gives daily worksheets that are for a grade, so it's better to show up. The only way to earn extra credit is by being in class, too. We had 3 midterms and a final project, no final exam. Exams can be tough so be ready to study. She also did a flipped classroom format, not my fav but doable. Take her if you can!

Dr. Martin is a great professor and wants you to enjoy this lab. However, people complain because you must treat the prof with respect (hard concept ig) for her to help you out. Clear criteria and all the answers are in the worksheet. Be on good terms with your group, split up the work evenly and review together. Worm labs are fun, cool class!

Dr. Martin takes her job way too seriously. An insane amount of assignments for a 2 hour lab, shes not friendly, and she sits at the front of the room gossiping about students with the TAs for most of the class. Would not recommend taking genetics lab with  her at all.

She is very cliquey with the TAs. They like to grade by picking favorites and never setting clear expectations. Her TA Faith is a hard grader for no reason. Not a hard class, but it is harder than it should be.

Unnecessarily harsh professor. Made a simple genetics lab much harder than it needed to be. Not the worst professor or grader but in general just really not a nice lady. I would take any other professor if you dont want to be disrespected or looked down upon because you didnt understand an instruction or god forbid made some sort of mistake in lab
