Reviews of professor Samanthia Martin

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Took over class when previous professor died one month into semester. Assigned chapter readings but not once gave a lecture on the readings; we just "BSed" for 60 minutes. Tests were very hard, esp when she never gave lectures on them. She took one-to-two weeks to post grades, even with Scantron. She didn't seem to know the material.

I would 10/10 recommend taking her class. She is so funny and makes class really fun. She is a hard grader and makes you work for your grade, but with the way she teaches and how easy her lectures are to follow passing the class isn't hard. She offers lots of help and recommends great resources to get help.

I loved this class and really liked Dr. Martin. She has great lectures and never criticizes anyones opinion during lectures. You can always speak your mind and give your opinion in class. You do have to read the book to do good on tests, but there are only 3 tests including the final for the whole semester. Would definitely recommend.

Dr. Martin is a great professor, she tells the class exactly what she expects and as long as you do that you pass. Tip, write down everything she rights on the board all of it is on the (3) tests

Dr. Martin doesn't give any opportunities for extra credit and gives SO MANY pop quizzes- easy but annoying. She does provide a study guide for tests, but I would study for a long time and never got above an 80. Research paper is mandatory. The exams were rarely over what was discussed in class.... and it was hard to read her writing on the board.

Cant read her handwriting on the board at all and lectures are all over the place. Pop quizzes all the time even though they are easy to pass. Research paper is basically required because you wont pass without it. I studied for hours and got an 85% on my exam not worth it. Dont recommend it
