Reviews of professor Valeria Martinovic

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Worst chemistry professor. She did not know what she was doing the whole quarter. She read off her "lectures" which she did not even understand herself. The homework and exams were nothing of what she would teach. She never replies to emails in a timely manner. I had to spam her email once to receive a very unprofessional response of "no".

No feedback or genuine preparation. Rarely/never responds to emails. She won't care for your emergencies when you miss a chance to participate in class. Truly lacks empathy for the students that she does not have expectations for. She is not a terrible teacher, but not a great one. Her step-by-step teaching is fine, but not worth her indifference.

I have no idea what I had learned in this class, no textbook required, Lectures are extremely sketchy, exams are extremely hard! She admitted exams are totally new stuffs that never been mentioned in lectures.

I honestly took her class for spring, and I was so amazed that the professor was the opposite of the reviews I read. I only took her class because it was open, but she is pleasant and wants you to pass it. If you ask her in person, she will immediately answer your question. The only thing I hated about her was the ALEKS platform.

The only reason why I didn't rate professor Martinovic a 1 is because of how easy it is to get credit for homework and lab reports. She uses problems from the textbook for quizzes and exams and expects you to know the material, despite having lectures that don't correlate to much of anything. I constantly felt lost in that class.

Let's accept it, we're in a quarterly basis school. She's not that bad, she lets you bring formula card in the exam, she won't let you memorize the periodic table. She gives 20% extra credit in the first two test and final test is online. Chemistry is hard to many people, at-least we don't need to memorize any formula and elements in atomic number?
