Reviews of professor Marion Martin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
My main problem was with the set up of his classroom. He does flipped classroom where you have to watch mandatory lecture videos and take a quiz before lecture. Then in lecture, he goes over practice problems. End up doing chemistry every day, anywhere from 1 to 3 hrs a day. If you get behind, you have work 5x harder as the class moves very fast

Dr. Martin's class either works for you or it doesn't. Personally, I enjoyed the flipped classroom setup. It kept me constantly exposed to the content, and him working out example problems in lecture (with explanation) was helpful for those topics I was confused on. If you can handle a flipped classroom setup, definitely take Dr. Martin's class.

Dr. Martin was a very approachable professor, but the flipped classroom style was not my favorite. Most of lectures were just example problems which were not too bad as long as you kept up with the pre-class assignments.

If you can handle a TON of work, and a flipped classroom, then go ahead. While Dr. Martin is a good person, his teaching style made things really difficult. If you get behind, you are lowkey screwed. I could not catch a break this semester, and while my mental health rapidly declined I continued to drown in the overwhelming amount of work.
