Reviews of professor Valerie Martinez

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Martinez is great and you can see her passion for history; she's really open to late work and will work with you. I liked this class the only thing that was hard was the reading part, it was a basic class yet we had to read 4 books for our final project. p.s. she writes her own exams so quizlet won't help you out.

Dr. Martinez is one of the best history professors here at OLLU. She really does want all her students to succeed and loves interaction. Some of the lectures will be a little dense but overall a good class and a fair amount of work. She offers extra credit as well so do take advantage of it.

She is a yapper. It is hard to concentrate because she goes on and on about things that do not correlate with the topics. Also, she gets political at times which is annoying especially when she just explains HER OPINIONS. Other than that, she is nice and respects students.

I had the pleasure of attending Dr. Martinez's class last semester for Mexican American Cultural History. Her class was informative and enjoyable. She requires you to have the text, so there will be readings and assignments to go with them. She gives great feedback on assignments and always has the interest of her student's success at heart.

Dr. Martinez has a super packed schedule,but has always managed to make time to help me out when I needed it. If you dont understand something in her class, shes more than happy to explain outside of class. I had a lot of familial issues this semester, and she was very understanding & offered extensions for as long as I needed. Highly recommend.

Every class is a continuous lecture. It's pretty hard to pay attention especially if history doesn't interest you. Tests include "a&b only" or all of the above answers on every question. It's graded by very few things so it's hard to improve your grade. Pop quizzes are only 5 questions! If you miss any it hurts your grade a lot.

She is a totally awesome person and makes sure you understand what is needed and makes sure you get the work done correctly. She really wants you to learn and be working part of what she is lecturing about. We love you dr Martinez!!!!

Dr. Martinez is a great professor who is a very understanding person. As a history major, she provided different viewpoints of a certain era. She is also very understanding of deadlines and extends a deadline when needed. Be prepared to take notes and listen on lecture days which can become long. Dr. Martinez only provides a few graded assignments.

There is class involvement when taking Professor Martinez's class. This is to help us remember for the midterm and final exams. Following the syllabus is a great reminder for upcoming assignments. She gives one week to remind her students on essay assignments. That includes reading the books and writing the essay. I recommend getting ahead.
