Reviews of professor Christopher Martin

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Martin is a very nice and caring guy. He is a great person but not a very good teacher. His exams are very hard. Its hard to pay attention to him for over an hour. When we told him the exam was hard to take with 4essays, he told us to study more not realizing we just didn't have enough time and there was too much to do.

He is the hardest grader ever and never gives enough time for exams. His exams are mostly 4 essays and he claims we dont study enough and that there is no right answer, but is incredibly picky. Honestly thought I would enjoy the course, but it ended up being the most stressful and frustrating.

Martin is a good teacher. Lectures are entertaining. Exam essay portions are harder, but hes understanding. As long as you participate and keep up with homework youll be fine. Manageable course!

I did not enjoy this course with Dr. Martin. He is a tough grader, and I felt belittled after receiving feedback on an assignment. There is a lot of reading and a ton of online discussion postings; good luck.

Took this class online over a summer semester. There was a lot of reading and writing in this class.
Gen. Notes:
- Very engaging
- Easy to contact, responds to emails in a timely fashion
- Fair grader, but follows his rubrics religiously and gives very little leeway
- Usually takes time to give feedback, feedback is occasionally unclear

The discussion posts are terrible. I try very hard on them and they are graded so harshly. It seems the grading is simply random. NOT enjoyable.

Daily assignments and 95-minute exams that consist of 4 essays and 10 multiple choice questions that is 55% of your grade. Many students thought they had A's only to realize they failed or got C's on their final grade due to a lack of grades being on blackboard to keep track during the year. No extra credit or makeup assignments.

I don't think it's too difficult to get a good grade, but get ready for long lectures filled with primarily his opinions and lots of writing homework. For larger papers, he claims that he wants to hear your opinion and there is no right answer, but then he disagrees or argues with mostly everything you write in favor of what he thinks.

Professor Martin gives long lectures but you HAVE TO MAKE SURE you pay attention to what he is saying, 9/10 if hes writing it on his board you need to know it. It may be a little boring, but he tries his best to keep his students engaged. So long as you show up for lectures you should be able to do your assignments easily.
