Reviews of professor Ross Martin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I absolutely loved this class, Dr. Martin always kept us very engaged and was always teaching. Geology may not be the most entertaining subject but I enjoyed learning about it from his teachings.

Dr. Martin is a very nice man, just not a good professor in my opinion. This course is good if you want to prepare for Graduate School, because you must write a thesis level research paper. He goes too fast during his lectures, sometimes not even covering things that are on the exams. His expectations are way too high for a class of sophomores.

Seems like a nice guy outside of class, very monotone and powerpoints were too vague. If hybrid course, allow yourself a lot of time to complete the online assignments. Reviews never contained whats actually needed for tests. If you're not a science major, don't take this, too much stress over tests and time consuming assignments.

He usually has a quiz once a week!!!

Dr. Martin is obviously super passionate about what he is teaching. It's not the most exciting class ever, but can be fun. Also a super easy class to pass, as long as you show up and follow along. Most grades are quizzes locked with a password given in class for attendance. Normally one assignment every week or two that is super easy to complete.

Dr. Martin is a good professor, but he isnt an easy professor. Tough class, especially for freshmen. Read the textbook and attend class and you will be fine. He offers a good bit of extra credit and it is completely up to you what topic you write about. He does take attendance on certain days. Hard tests, but gives overview before.
