Reviews of professor Alyssa Martina

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She tries to help prepare us for the real world but just abuses and harasses her students. She complains about other students to their friends and uses your insecurities against you. She needs to stop taking her anger out on us because we didn't invite her to hang out. I know multiple people that tried to report her but administration didn't care.

Ended her Jterm in LA class verbally assaulting 4 students into panic and anxiety attacks, kept attacking even though it was very obvious, with awful professor Kai Swansen. Ended her spring break trip with her husband bullying 2 students who went from the LA trip for not "including her" enough. Could not emphasize enough: STAY AWAY

Do NOT take her. Allowed one absence despite school policy. Cold calls. Weekly quizzes are difficult, focusing on #s in the 40-page readings. Treated the class with disrespect--not showing up to scheduled meetings, yelling at individuals after class for talking. Told me that my course goal is overcoming my mental disability and that I "succeeded."

Honestly, the course was nothing like the description. Very misleading. Lots of busy work for an abroad trip. The professor also lacks social awareness.

I have had her for several courses including a study USA. Alyssa is one of my favorite professors at Elon. She has helped me find my place on campus and in life. I cannot thank her enough. So many life lessons were taught that I will never forget. I am sad to hear that she is retiring soon.
