Reviews of professor Jennifer Martinez

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Mediocre at best, weekly discussions, asks for 2 page essays and expects you to write your selected countries' entire backstory, prompts are not clear enough.

Jennifer is sweet, but she is too inexperienced to be teaching at this level. Her lectures are like listening to another student present a project, not organized and you can zone out without missing anything. Changes assignments on whim/what class wants, vague instructions and if you ask about it she says "we'll go over it later" but never does

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Exams are very fair and based on the lab models, lab manual questions, and anything else posted on the main blackboard page for this class. There's a lot of self studying you will need to do but you can ask Prof. Martinez any questions during class time or via email which I did and she always responded and in a timely manner.

I do not recommend this instructor at all. She's extremely rude to the students and unorganized. She submits the grades really late and barely teaches the class.

Literally one of the hardest professor to deal with! I have taken biology lab for 3 semesters now & she is the hardest so far. Not only does she ONLY read off the powerpoint, which we can do at home, her energy is so dull that it makes students sleepy & unengaged. Barely gives any time to actually study the models!

The class is basically quizzes, papers, and attendance. Grading criteria sometimes confusing for papers. Tests/quizzes had a few confusing questions but she did add back a point or two for them. It is a 101 class so don't expect anything intellectually challenging.

This is the WORST lab instructor I've ever had. She reads off the slides (and messes up because she doesn't know the content) which confuses the class. In addition, she gets distracted when a student stands up to go to the bathroom or when someone makes a slight noise. Forget about partial credit on tests (she doesn't make any correlations).

She's a great A&P lab TA. Fair grader, will go over things you ask her to, will try to clarify things as much as possible. Sometimes she misreads the model labels, but she knows her stuff and will clear up anything you don't understand. She also is willing to share study methods if asked.

A very dense class, both anatomy 1 and 2, but Jen is great at explaining and answering questions. She is fair when grading. This class requires a LOT of studying and memorizing so beware before you jump in. OVERprepare for all your exams especially in lab

Probably the worst lab TA for A&P, if you have the option of taking the lab with another lab TA, take it. A really good TA for this lab is Farah so take it with her. Jen is horrible at grading, seeing how me and a fellow lab partner got a question wrong, she gave them the point and didn't give me the point. She also reads off the slides only.
