Reviews of professor Melinda Martinez

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She grades you more on grammar than the actual assignment. Does not give any help when you ask. Gives you wrong information for assignments, and then marks you wrong for her mistakes. Definitely do not take her class. She took over four weeks to grade my first assignment. Do not recommend. 0 out of 5

This Professor was not respectful of preferred pronouns. She also said that it was social media made-up thing.

This class is not fun to be in. The teacher can be very passive-aggressive. She is also heavy on grammar over any actual work, especially papers, I was so confident in writing papers before this class because of how she grades them. Would not suggest taking her class.

I don't say this lightly. Worst class I've taken at west hills. I though I knew how to write papers never had problems before tell I took her class. She grades every tiny thing, and god forbid you turn it in a few hours before it's due. I took 2 psych classes My personal psych I received an A this terrible class D. WOULDNT RECOMMEND.

I totally agree that legit every little thing in what you turn in is graded. Worked my tail off to try to get an A but I those little things add up over time. if you do take her ask for feedback or any questions u have to get the grade u want!

The other guy was a little too harsh but if I am going to be honest he was missing many points. Her grading practices are horrendous and she is not empatheric. My MOM passed away last Spring and when I asked for an extension on a paper she told me I had had enough time and that I could have worked around it. Terrible experience, save yourself.

This class was really interesting to take. Martinez is very organized and detailed when it comes to assignments and the syllabus. For every assignment, she explains exactly what she wants. Keep up with the reading and be sure to know how to use ASA format. She is really understanding and she is very passionate about teaching.

Wasnt hard per say but many of her instructions to assignments were not clear. She grades based on understanding of assignments but many do not explain everything or some of the instructions are hidden in the points given.

Horrible! Dont even think about asking for help because she will tell you to refer back to the syllabus. Emailed her never email back. Worse experience ever with an online class!

I took Ms. Martines over the fall semester and all I can say is good luck. She believes that grammar and mechanics are more important rather than your actual knowledge on the topic and how well you are adjusting to new information. I got extreme anxiety whenever I had to turn something in since I knew my work would never be good enough. Try hard.
