Reviews of professor Marion Martin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Does a flipped classroom style, which I personally didn't hate. A lot of assignments outside of class. The packbacks are so unnecessary but they count towards your grade. He did a lot of practice during lecture. The actual homeworks were harder than the exams itself IMO. The exams were pretty straightforward only 30 questions- all multiple choice.

Flipped class which did not help, test did not always reflect what was taught.

The only reason I got a B+ is because I suck at Chem and was more focused on Calc. Dr. Martin is amazing and always willing to help!

The class was a flipped classroom, where you teach yourself with complicated videos that make no sense. In class, he reviews about 5 questions where you don't understand anything. The preclass videos are also very time-consuming.

He uses a flipped class style where you learn the material on your own. Most days he used ONLY practice problems. I don't do well with this type of teaching as I need walk-through examples before I can confidently do problems on my own. Wouldn't take it again, but if you can learn on your own on top of other courses go for it.

Dr. Martin is a great person who definitely cares about students well-being and success, however the flipped model is completely ineffective in this case with 100+ students. Preclass videos are not helpful, lectures are mandatory but were useless; no material is taught during lecture, only TopHat questions. Tests and homework were very reasonable.

At least for my CH 201 class Martin had a flipped classroom set up that just personally doesn't work for me, but it may work for you. Seems like a good person and he can have fun moments in the lectures. The lecture were just running through examples and there were videos that you were supposed to watch before each class.

Martin is a good guy but his class is genuinely awful. The flipped classroom style is an excuse for him to not teach. I hate the way he teaches and his pre-class assignment videos make no sense whatsoever leaving me more confused than I was to start with.
