Reviews of professor Laura Martinez

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Miss Martinez is the best. She's a graduate student so she gets what it's like to be a student. She's funny, relatable, and makes the class enjoyable. She made public speaking comfortable and makes sure you are prepared before giving any speech. Also, she makes the environment comfortable if you are nervous about public speaking. 10/10 reccomend!!!

The class itself was not bad. Had to read the book, weekly discussion and quizzes. The professor however was not so good. She does not respond to emails in a timely manner, she'll ghost the entire class when technical difficulties arise and her instructions are extremely vague.

She does not upload slides to canvas, so you need to write notes in class. However, she speaks very quickly, and many students miss many parts. The material on the Slide will be used on the exam, so you will have to copy your notes carefully. The grading of paper was also very strict. I don't recommend taking her class

She was amazing. If you hate public speeaking Or speeches like I do, this is the perfect class to take. She makes it really chill and laid back. The speeches are very easy and theres only 4 all semester. Theres no hw and no stress at all. By far my favorite professor

Honestly an amazing professor. I remember taking her during a full pandemic and she made class so easy! I heard public speaking can be intimidating and some professors make this class hard, not her case. I remember I had some problems and she always helped me out by giving me more time. If I have the chance I'll take her again. EASY A+, TAKE HER

Prof. Martinez is a very nice person, but not a good teacher. We had a lot of classes canceled (we only met 2x a week). She never replied to my emails. She would constantly lose her train of the thought when lecturing and would either start over or move onto a different topic. A lot of reading of course materials is required outside of class.

She was okay. It was difficult to get a hold of her and would never reply to her emails. But overall it was not a difficult class. Just make sure you remember you have it if you are taking it online.
