Reviews of professor Mary Martucci

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Please do not take an online class with her, especially during covid. She will not bother herself to help. She just assigns readings from the book and post some Youtube videos. She doesn't make her own videos and doesn't do any online lectures. You have to study, study, and keep study to learn everything yourself.

Doesn't reply to emails and in her office hours you find another instructor. She assigns readings from the book and post about 15 videos to each module, each video is about 15 minutes. Most of her videos are unnecessary speech, and she speaks slowly which makes her videos long and boring. She grades the homework as if she was doing a real lecture.

Doctor Martucci presents material in a very rushed manner. This makes it easy to feel like youve fallen behind in the course. Also, if you need extra help with material, youre better off getting a tutor. Asking for help out of class seems to inconvenience her and leaves you wondering if you really so lost she cant help you.

This class is just hard and she didn't make it better. The class has 4 exams and a final. She goes through the material really fast and just assumes everyone already knows everything. I would not recommend this class.

Dr Martucci's in-person lectures are done pretty well. Be sure to complete all the reading she asks for, and to study literally everyday. Her course is no walk in the park, but if you're working hard and doing your part Dr Martucci will likely help your grade out in the end. Overall, a painful class with a great professor.

Dr. Martucci was fairly new to General Chemistry 2 not too long ago, and can be a stickler at first. If you build a personal relationship with her and ask for individual time she'll do one on one meetings with you. I worked as a TA for her the following the semester and the homework is extensive but really helps you're grade. Overall, my favorite.

I had to retake chem 122. Mary made this semester so much easier than the last time I took this class. She is very organized. She gives a bunch of examples and then makes you do a bunch of examples which is really helpful. She also gives worksheets after every chapter which help a lot too. The only awful part is doing ALEKS.

Dr. Martucci is extremely kind to her students and amazing at explaining concepts. She truly has a passion for teaching, and was very organized and responsive during campus shut down. Her test curves are weak when present and there is no extra credit but overall not a hard class if you read the chapters before lecture. Lectures can be slow.
