Reviews of professor Jennifer Martin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
overall, this class is hard and not an easy A. Dr. Martin although, is a caring teacher and tries her best to engage everyone in class. tests are usually all over book over about 6 chapters, but she did change grades when people went and discussed the test with her. everyone gets an A on participation though, and there's a big group project.

I think Dr. Martin has really taken feedback into account from last year's classes. First class I took with her (intro to sowo) was unnecessarily hard but this class now is literally so easy. 1 assignment per week, no tests, occasional reflection papers, if you show up she gives u an A in participation. she is literally so nice and means so well!!

For an intro class, this was horrible to take. Everyone tells you that intro to social work is easy, but not with her. Our test average on our last test was a 73 if that tells you anything. The reading is necessary to do well on the exam, and each chapter is about 50 pages. The final is a group project where you have to go interview a social worker

This class absolutely does not feel like an introductory course. We hardly ever finished our Powerpoints before moving on to the next chapter. She would begin videos and we would never finish them. The tests contained topics that she would not elaborate on in class. If you want to do well on the tests, you have to be ready to read details.

The final is interviewing a social worker, which is not difficult. The hard part is getting with your group to complete a 10-16 page research paper and a PROFESSIONAL poster regarding your topic. I feel as though I am in a research or survey class. I also feel as though I am majoring in social work; i am not.

A lot of these reviews are kind of harsh on her overall. She is really nice & cares about her students, but def does forget this is an INTRO course. tests are all from textbook & textbook chapters are 50+ pages. usually around 6 chapters per test. This class was not an easy A!! take a different teacher for social work- A's on tests are not common!!
