Reviews of professor Esther Martinez

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I took a normal calculus class in high school. It wasn't AP level. I got an A in that class every quarter. I had no idea what would come in college. Martinez seemed pretty good during lecture, but the homeworks were beyond the help of the notes and textbook. She doesn't curve exams. I ended up failing her class. Stay far away. She has NO mercy.

Professor was alright overall. NOT lenient if you have latework though, even if the excuse is legitimate. Workload is manageable if you dont procrastinate. I would take her again if I had to, but i would just make sure I dont take the 8am

This class was very challenging and time consuming, especially if you have no prior calculus knowledge. Office hours available almost everyday and she's willing to answer any questions. She cares about understanding the subject matter, but you have to take the initiative to go to office hours, ask questions, or go to tutoring to pass.

She is a decent teacher goes a little fast through lecture but kind of has to in order to stay on track. Tests and quizzes are hard but she is fair with making sure you have plenty of opportunities to get a passing grade

Really good at teaching the material. She definitely understood students really well and was an overall great professor.

She was not a good professor, the homework was nothing like it was in her classes. Her tests were super heavy and hard, she had online videos you could watch but again she didn't lecture well. As a stem major, don't take this with CHEM and BIO courses. It'll be too much - I barley passed.

I don't understand the negative ratings because she is a great professor. Calculus can be challenging but that's not on her. If you show up to class, ask questions, and attend SI you will do fine in her class. She is very organized and structures her lectures efficiently.

my first bad grade of college. Everyone does horrible on tests and most people dont even finish. The lectures are easy to understand, the homework is impossible and unrelated, and the tests are somewhere in the middle but doesn't matter cause you don't have enough time to finish. She prides herself on making worksheets impossible

Every week you have a group collaboration that is worth 40% of your grade. She said on the first day of class that even if you were sick you weren't allowed to make up the points or get an excusal. She said she would ONLY give religious excusals because the university made her. I already knew the material from last year and she still confused me.
