Reviews of professor Katie Martelle

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Definitely tough grader. Graded my final paper a 40/200 with no clear help or outline of what to fix. I emailed her for extra clarification after I sent my rough draft in with no response. Lots of papers. Lots of discussion posts. Have to read 4 or 5 books. I never got higher than a 75% here..coming from passing any English class w a B+ or higher.

Professor Martelle was very nice and accommodating. She made it super clear that your mental health is important to her. Fairly light course work just make sure you go to class otherwise you'll be really confused about the major projects.

Professor Martelle is the best! She's super clear about how to write your essays and she'll give you extra help in office hours if you still don't get it. She assigns literature that's actually interesting to read and her powerpoints are so aesthetic lol. No exams but lots of in-class discussions. You can tell she actually cares about her students

A wonderful professor and a genuinely compassionate person with a true desire to help her students. I loved the structure and organization of her course; the readings were a breath of fresh air compared to the same recycled literature I've read a million times in my other classes. Beneficial feedback on all assignments and essays. Take ENG 2390!

Professor Martelle is AWESOME. I would totally recommend taking this course with her as she is very understanding and kind. Do the work as instructed then you'll get a grade A.

Although this class was transitioned online due to COVID, she's honestly such an understanding professor and I feel comfortable approaching her. She gives good feedback and makes sure her students understand what is going on with the class and content learned. Highly recommend taking her for 3010!

Very caring and helpful. She gives 3 free attendance skips and helps you tremendously on what to fix on your rough drafts to improve on for your final draft. Only downside is that she requires you to purchase so many books and assigns lots of reading. Papers are a bit difficult. She only grades tough on papers but nothing else. Love her, very sweet

I had her for ENG 3010 and ENG 2390. Literally the best teacher at Wayne State. She's super understanding and kind, all of the assigned readings are relevant and fun. As long as you apply yourself and put in effort you'll get a good grade.

AMAZING PROFESSOR. Professor Martelle WANTS you to get an A in this course and genuinely cares about you. I had a 92 and was so stressed about not getting an A, and she let me do additional extra credit and bumped my grade to an A. She grades very easily. As long as you stay on top of your work and put in some effort, it's an easy A.
