Reviews of professor Ivann Martinez

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Takes pride in tricking students on quizzes. Gives 10 mini essay questions on all tests and grades them hard. Takes away points for spelling even though his grammar is horrible. Extra credit available, but only 1-2 points for a 50-100 point quiz/test.

Dr. Martinez's course, while vigorous, will test and prepare students for an upper level biology course. He teaches at a fast pace, but always reserves time to answer ANY questions. His tests and quizzes are a bit heavy on writing, but he does a great job at bringing up key information that will be on future exams. Just be sure to catch them...

*TOOK HIM FOR MICRO200 LAB* Extremely biased towards good/bad students, passively rude at times, but ultimately wants the best for you. His lectures are slow, doesn't have the most fluent English and has an accent just in case if u dont want that. Lab was relatively easy w him but every class time felt dragged out. Not the best, not the worst.

he would be perfect if his test weren't too hard university classes are not as hard as his class he is very approachable and allows feed back but something has to change with his difficulty because that just makes a student feel unmotivated and alot of pressure not to mention I dropped his class because his class took too much of my time

This class was one of the hardest courses Ive ever taken at Cerritos college. Professor Martinez tests heavy but pushes you to the best of your abilities. Yes you have to read, yes there is a lot of writing, but you will be thankful because you will actually learn in this class. Like a challenge? Enroll in his class. Dont fear the other comments.

I hav mixed thoughts,he breaks down things well & very approachable,answers questions,& patient my prob is the time we have for the quizzes 20min for 25questions might b possible for some but most struggle personally I have to read the questions,read the options & then think but cant do that if I have under amin per question if ur not slow ur fine

Professor Martinez is not very understanding of students and has unrealistic expectations of his students, he believes every student is going for a STEM career and expects all of the students to know as much as he does. Switched onto online when lockdown happened and was not understanding at all HARD test and quizzes. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Lectures are very difficult to grasp, makes students feel like they are the problem if they don't do well. Expects students to learn the material by reading the textbook and does not acknowledge that not everybody can learn that way. Exam questions are difficult to understand and in order to access study materials, you HAVE to pass a quiz with 100%
