Reviews of professor Lisa Martino-Taylor

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I feel like Dr. Martino-Taylor may get a bad wrap, but she's awesome! Her feedback on papers is very in depth, something I rarely get at SIUe. She facilitates in class discussion very professionally and respectfully. She is available outside of class during office hours and via email. BUT YOU HAVE TO ATTEND CLASS. Lectures notes not on BlackBoard.

Dr. Martino-Taylor is a great instructor. You must pay attention but it is not difficult to! Her lectures are truly interesting. This subject should be important to all students because it focusing on realities we will face as we enter the work force. She's very sweet and reasonable. She really cares about her students. Love this class!

As a whole, I actually likes this class and felt like I learned a lot. However, Dr. Martino-Taylors way of teaching is very broad and hard to follow. A lot of the times, her assignments werent understandable, and she doesnt give example pieces to go along with the assignments. She makes sure her notes are not on blackboard, so go to class!!

I would comment on her teaching - if she taught. No notes, no lectures, no powerpoints. The only assignments are 6 quizzes, about 13 questions each, throughout the ENTIRE semester. Only instruction is "read your 3 textbooks". When asked to provide feedback on incorrect answers, she said being told your answer is correct or not IS your feedback.

This class ended up being more enjoyable then what I thought it would. She does have mandatory attendance. Her notes are not on blackboard and be prepared to listen to her constantly talk about herself. She made us turn in our final projects in the middle of April but it worked out so we weren't stressed during finals week with her class.

Her lectures are disorganized and hard to follow. She might be passionate but its just about her own gain not about teaching or the students in the class.
