Reviews of professor Michael Martin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Martin is by far one the best professors I have had at Oxford. He has really put a lot of thought into the structure of the course and is understanding and adaptable. He came to every zoom meeting with unrivaled enthusiasm and put a lot of work into making the asynchronous content easy and accessible. Would 100% recommend!!!

Beleive the syllabus when it says extensive writing. This is an intense writing class. Rely on other students for answers to your questions because he is mostly unavailable or nonresponsive for an online class.

Dr. Martin is a light-hearted, kind teacher. Lab was one of my favorite classes this past semester, even if there was a lot of work involved. He helped me realize that I enjoy biology after saying I was not a "biology person" for so long. He is a relatively easy grader, just make sure you do all of the assignments throughout the course.

Bio 141 was one of the hardest classes Ive taken and Martin definitely has high expectations. Test are hard but his lectures are good and give you all of the information you need. He also gives a lot of handouts to help study and learn from

Professor Martin is very nice and supportive. He is very approachable for questions inside and outside of class, and I genuinely had fun in bio lab. The videos he records are helpful and fun at the same time

I had high hopes at the beginning of the class, yet my motivation completely died at the end. One of the worst profs Ive had. This is an extensive class already, yet feedback from the prof is clearly not important. Emails are rarely ever returned, and feedback is blunt and cold. This prof makes you hope your classmates will aid in help, as he wont

Prof Martin was awesome. This is the first class I felt I was able to ask questions, and he responded quickly, to the point, with exactly what was needed. He also grades quickly. I didn't do well CS219, and had no experience with html, but was able to do well in CS240. He makes good easy to follow videos. Would definitely take him again!

Not responsive to emails, especially for an online class. Gives decent feedback on papers, but comments can be blunt. Tough on grading.

He is one of the best. He creates clear videos that help with homework and always responds to emails as quickly as possible. He actively engages with students on the discussion boards and provides great feedback if you get stuck on any programming assignments. The final is very difficult so make sure to practice a lot.

Dr. Martin is a great professor and a very kind and understanding person. He is a funny and intelligent guy and will give you great feedback on your work. Absolutely take his biology lab class if you can.
