Reviews of professor Wendy Martin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She's a great instructor, and she really tries to make the lab interesting. She takes into consideration any difficulties you run into, and she is as nice as she seems, she isn't petty, and she doesn't backstab. My only regret is that this is the only lab I'll have with her, my lab group all said this was their best lab at OU.

Dr. Martin is a great teacher. Overall, her class (for genetics lab) is appropriately challenging and takes up an average amount of time each week and she is fairly clear with her questions. For the two exams (midterm and final), study well and know acronyms. She lets you know straight up that she makes them tough. She's great w Qs so just ask!

Dr. Martin is very caring/accommodating towards students and really wants you to succeed. She is very clear of what she expects at the first class and is ALWAYS willing to help out to students that care and put in effort. Helpful TAs but follow lab report the rubric closely and ask questions. Best lab at OU so get in if you can, spots fill up fast.

Going into this class, I was terrified by the reviews. Truthfully, she really is not that bad and this class is not that hard. Taking the lecture and lab together is a little harder, but not bad if you have a basic bio understanding. Dr. Martin can be a little intimidating at times, but as long as you're friendly, she'll be friendly.

The worst. Don't be fooled, she is not as nice as she acts. Has ego issues and takes them out on her students. Suck up to her if you absolutely have to take her. Talks shit about students blatantly. Immature and petty. Stick up her ass. Makes the class unclear and difficult for no reason. TAs suck, don't care, and just suck up to her too. Good luck

Flipped format class. You have to watch the lectures outside of/before class and you have homework to do outside of class. Basically, be prepared to teach yourself. The in-class material is really just busy work to fill what should be lecture time. Overall, I felt like a student and a professor with this flipped format business.

dont do it. I emailed her about a quiz bc she failed to upload the associated material with it and she went off on me. Stating it was my fault for even attempting the quiz. save yourself the time and pick another prof.

Dr. Martin states her expectations at the beginning of class. The midterms can be quite stressful, requires a lot of studying to pass them! She also does a flipped classroom. She's quite understanding and tries to improve in any way that best suites a student's needs. Lab are so fun too!
