Good teacher. He gives student's clear directions with their assignments.
He's very particular about you being late to class he will not give u credit for being their if u come 15 minus late..he does not accept any late work regardless of the situation.. He does not mind failing anyone :-( I did ok but i know a few people who didn't and they tried really hard.
As long as you write your essays grammaticly correct and by his format and write and study what is on the power point you should be fine. He is not afraid to fail anyone, but he is always willing to help you if you are struggling even if it is not during tutoring or office hours.
Boring and difficult. I hate government and hat it more even now. I did very well on the written assignments (As and Bs) but not too well on the tests, which were really difficult, and as a result I didn't pull of the minimun grade I was going for. I won't say he is a horrible professor but I have had better.
Difficult class, take him if you are transferring, will prepare you. Tests are difficult, use the Pearson online study aids and take advantage of tutoring hours. He is willing to go above and beyond to help you succeed.
great professor, just know the textbook material and you will do good. helpful if u need it. just dont be late or be on cell phone and make sure your writing assignments are gramatically correct.
He uses powerpoint every class to go over what will be on the test, so you HAVE to take notes and attend class. As far as his teaching I feel he is a good teacher and his class isn't hard at all. The test are easy and everything on them is material he has covered in class. As long as you go to class, take notes, and read your book, you should pass.
Let me start by saying, I'am not into Govt. I think Professor Martin is a fair teacher. Make sure you take notes because everything he goes over in class, will be on the test. Do your work read the chapters, and go to class, you will pass. I got a A.
When I fist started this class I thought I wasnt going to like this professor. He seemed hard and not very willing to work with you. But I was proven wrong. He is very helpful but holds you accountable. If you fail his class it's b/c you didnt put in the work or ask for help. He is there to help you but you have to work for your grade. Greate prof!
tough
If you aren't comfortable with your writing level you may want to take another teacher. He does not give review sheets for exams or copies of his powerpoint. He is very entertaining and clearly loves his subject. He also has a bit of a Tony Stark thing going on, both in his humor and in his way of talking. Very enjoyable.
In his class YOU really are in control of your grade. Just figure you're passing the class as long as you're putting in the work. Read, show up, take notes...easy enough. The material is dry, but unless this class is an elective to you, it's to be expected. Tests are hard but fair. If you didn't read/take notes, you're toast.
If you want to pass this class, take ALL HIS NOTES off the powerpoint since the exam comes directly from what he covers. This is not a blowoff class. You have to understand how politics affect your life in order to do well. Participate, ask questions, use online site. FYI: This course will prepare you to think on your own. Handsome and friendly!
He is a great professor, funny and extremely smart and knowledgeable about government and how they function. He is demanding and tests are book related. Overall he is challenging but is my Favorite Professor i have ever had.
I took GOVT2301 with him and he is a pretty fun professor. His tests arent that bad if you pay attention in class and review your notes. All class long he just lectures over his powerpoint slides but are useful. He doesnt give out review sheets or let you keep anything but he is a overall a good professor.
Mr. Martin is one of the best professors at HCC. His class is not challenging at all if you pay attention, and take notes from the power-points. Mr. Martin cares about his students. Best advise is to read the textbook, and study the end of chapter questions. They will prepare you for the Midterms.Ended up with an A. Take him, you wont regret it!
Dr Martin is AMAZING! He loves discussions and encourages everyone to participate. He always finds a way to help you understand by applying the concepts to every day life. very funny guy, but be prepared to study hard for tests
Best professor ever! He always finds a way to relate lectures to your life to make topics interesting. His tests come directly from his notes, but you need to read the chapters to fully understand. His essay questions and key terms are always from the notes. He makes himself available if you need him. TAKE HIM! I got an A
Professor has great lectures and gives out great notes. You will have some writing assignments,follow his instructions and you will do fine. His tests are a little hard. Study and you will pass, do not study and you will fail. I recommend this professor, however this class is NOT for LAZY people.
His test are a little challenging but if you study, you will do fine. The powerpoint slides he uses are from the book. You only have writing assignment, which is a research paper. He does allow you to work on research paper throughout the semester. I received an A from his class and will be taking him for the next Government class.
This professor was a good take, he secretly is compassionate I was having a rough time on a test day and sent me home not wanting me to take it under stress, and gave me a month to make it up. You do have little essay assignments here and there about a topic youd like texas to adopt but that was very easy and spread out. You do need to study though
Excellent professor. He makes the class interesting and funny. He understands that not all students speak English as their first language; and is very flexible with grammatical errors and misspelling. He is a huge sports fan and will sometimes talk about football while lecturing! As long as you show interest in the class he will help you a lot ;)
very very good teacher he is very clear and if you read the book you should do fine. one of my favorite teachers of all time.
Great guy. Really knows how to teach. Took him in the summer. Four exams each twenty-five percent of your grade.
Write ALL the slideshow notes down & things he says that ARE NOT on the slides. I did that, studied tons, only used textbook for definitions & I got an A in both classes. He keeps you tuned in by relating the material to your own life as much as possible. Devote time & an A is possible. If youre lazy/tired (especially during class) do not take him!
He WILL make plenty of football references,so if you are clueless when it comes to football you will feel lost. Other than that he is a GREAT professor, he does have a few pet peeves so WATCH OUT. If you pay attention, attend class regularly and take notes you will be fine.He is not a boring professor that just reads out the book!
Overall he's a good professor. All his ppts are in class, so make sure to attend the class every time if you want an A. He's a HUGE Ole Miss football fan. This professor loves to workout and he always eats his protein bar in class.
I truly looked forward going to his class. He actually made government interesting and fun. He is extremely sarcastic but very respectful. If you read the book, attend class, take notes and memorize terms, you should do fine.
He is an awesome instructor. I took him for 2306 and 2305 back to back on the same day. Truly recommend him. As long as you read what your supposed to and take notes your likely to pass his class. Like he says, "You get what you put into the class". He makes government class interesting and that's hard to do.
Tries to intimidate you, but in the end is a great professor. Easy class and recommend it to everyone!
He's awesome! No, not an easy class, but if you actually read your book and study you should be fine. I Recommend him. :)
One of the best professors. Is out for the best of his students, and wants them to succeed. While many people had a hard time, I thought the course was pretty easy. You can get a B+/A- if you just take powerpoints down word for word and memorize them. Another teacher has the same powerpoints on her website, so find them, and have an easier time. :)
A very good professor.Comes off as intimidating at first,but with time you will see the soft side of him. But NOTE you have to really study, not just his power points but his text book and I applaud the author of the text book.
Professor Martin does seem intimidating at first but he offers a lot of assistance when it comes to exams. The lectures were pretty boring but if you're interested in politics then you'll have no problem. Study the power points and you'll actually use the book as well.
Dr. Martin is a very sweer dude with lots of knowledge and experience to share. It is not his fault that the subject matter of Texas government is boring as boring can get. His exams are challanging, but totally easy if you take notes in class and read the book.
He comes off as facetious at first, but if you're a smart group of individuals he will care about helping you make the grades you want. Do not rely on the powerpoints to help you pass the tests. The tests are extremely hard if you do not read the chapters in the book. Also, get ready for 12 page essays throughout the semester.
Dr. Martin is a professional and well educated professor. Even though he has his good and bad days, throughout everyday he will still make inappropriate remarks and talk about star wars movies. He is very clear on instructions and final on when assignments are due. His hotness rating is true.
This guy is both totally awesome as a teacher, and eye candy (if you're into the whole SoCal turned Texan convert thing). He is super laid back and makes the content as interesting as possible and really tries to engage the class. Show up, take notes and you won't have to crack the book. Just stay off your phone and enjoy the view instead ;)
He's an annoying, ignorant, and facetious man. I didn't warm up to his personality until the second to the last week of class. His lectures are really pointless because none of that information is on the test. I found that I learned more from the book. Get ready for long papers because he's a "doctor" and believes everyone should write 25 pages.
Although he's pretty strict, Dr. Martin is a great professor and he always makes his lectures clear and fun to listen to. Also, his looks made it even easier to pay attention.
Awesome professor! His lectures are great and fun to listen to. Only four tests. To study for his tests read the book such as the bold vocab. Also, study from his power points and that should do it for the test. Mr. Martin is such a sweet and hilarious person. He's very nice and intelligent . Take him and enjoy his class.
He does not give Extra Points at ALL!!! Very strict about his grading. Only four tests and you have to study HARD to get at least a B as an average in his class.... I wouldn't recommend him to a friend. If you are looking for a good Govt. teacher at HCCs take Andrew Teas he is very EASY and an Easy A!!
This guy is awesome. He teaches like you are having a conversation, the type you would have to work hard to forget. i had 2 jobs and 3 classes which took more of my time.I only revised my notes. he wont ask what he didn't cover in class, and he answers questions. He is the best instructor i have learnt from. If you want an easy A, take this guy.
He made Texas Government interesting for me. You have to participate. The more you participate, the more he will like you. Cool guy. Your wont regret taking him.
Show up for a C, read the book; youll get an A.
If you can take Dr. Martin, DO! I didn't bother buying the book - just showed up for lectures, took notes, and ended up with like a 98. He'll try to scare you in the beginning, but he's a wonderful, funny, helpful prof. who genuinely cares about your success. He even helped me find a faster commute to school! Put up your feet & break out a sandwich
He's really funny, he wants the class to interact and actually talk, and he's a huge Star Wars nerd. As far as tests, they're really easy if you read the book and/or take notes (questions come straight from the text)
-Only 4 tests (which is the only work you do the entire semester) -Good lectures. -Not timely, if he gets off track he rambles on forever and gets your class behind. -Tells you exactly what will be on the open ended part of the exams. -Barely offers extra credit. -Doesn't allow students to take pics of his notes/doesn't have them posted online
Only 4 exams, should be easy if you read and understand the book!!! Lectures were kinda boring but he tried his best to entertain the class by letting everyone interact. Essay part of exams were easy if you paid attention, he would hint at what would be on the exam. Attendance was so so.
He is a very nice teacher, always there to help you. He explains material clearly. TAKE HIM!!
I was in his 2306 class and I can honestly say he is one of the best government professors at HCC. Only 4 exams including final which were not difficult at all. I managed to pass all of them and make a B in the class and I didn't even buy the book. As long as you take notes and pay attention in class you will do fine on the test and the class
He will work with you, just be upfront with him and explain. Good lectures, will make you understand even if its your first time hearing about it. If you take good notes you will pass. Gives extra information to think about when talking about government.
PROFESSOR MARTIN WAS AWESOME, YOU DO HAVE 4 TEST . HE LOVES TO CRACK JOKES BUT IS AWESOME AND IS LAID BACK. JUST READ THE CHAPTERS IN THE BOOK AND TAKE GOOD NOTES AND YOU SHALL PASS. VERY EJOYABLE LOOK FORWARD TO TAKING YOU AGAIN FOR TEXAS GOVT
He is a great professor who really knows his stuff. He is funny and helpful. You have 4 tests - each 50 multiple choice questions, 5 short answers and an essay. However, if you study, you will be fine. I would definitely take him again.
Doctor Martin is a very good professor i took him over the summer and he is passionate about what he teaches and tries to make it fun. The class is only graded on 4 exams each one worth the same amount. he does not provide exam reviews. test are over what he teaches and what the book teaches. i would definitely take him again.
His test are a bit on the difficult end since he no papers you have to write in his class on the exam you have to write a short essay and also answer short answer questions but as long as you study and take notes during class you will be fine. He teaches both Texas and us Government. He lets you eat in class during exam. Overall a good teacher.
it helps if he sees you ask questions or study bc then he tries to work with you any way he can. i took his summer class after failing it once before and he really does make it a lot more interesting and fun. he is also very straight to the point which i find refreshing. just four exams,study the book. he's chill. id take him again
I hate government, this class was so simple and he is available to tutor if you don't understand. Very knowledgeable and has an interesting lectures
His class is pretty straight forward. Four critical tests, that's it. Take notes and study a bit more on top of that, you should be good.
He only gives 4 exams. No final. Gives hints for exam essay question. Read the textbook and pay attention to lecture. Exam is a mix of multiple choice, short answers and one essay. Easy if you read the book and study!
great professor- explains material with ease using situations with current generation. exams are from the book- multiple choice, 6 short answers (that you can choose which to address) and short essay (choose one out of 2). tries to keep subject interesting, funny, hip, doesn't waste your time, understanding- best prof. I've had in long time-
I enjoyed his classes so much. He is an easy A if you read the book and pay attention to lectures and take notes. He is willing to help and answer any questions.
Really good lecturer, easy to like. He's great there's nothing else to say. Homework and other assignments are rare. You actually learn!!!!!
He tells you what he expects. He seems to want people to understand rather than to just repeat information. He gives you hints about the major point ? and the essays. He does get sidetracked easily. He pays attention to facial reactions and tries to clear up problems.
THE BEST PROF I'VE HAD IN 2 YEARS. I USED TO HATE GOVT. NOW, I LOVE IT. I GET IT. I'VE TAKEN BOTH HIS FED AND TX GOVT CLASS. HE PREPARES YOU FOR TEST. HE GETS THERE'S LIFE OUTSIDE. READ THE TEXTBOOK, TAKE NOTES. HE'S BLUNT, FUNNY, INTERACTS WITH STUDENTS, HELPS YOU GET IT IN TODAYS WORLD AND KEEP IT INTERESTING. YOU REALLY LEARN SOMETHING.
He is awesome currently still in his class would send anyone his way he is super knowledgeable and the exams are fair he is all about note taking and that's where his exams come from. But overall you wont regret taking him look him up and take a look at his syllabus to ensure you like the way it looks though half his exam is written while the other
He is a great professor. His class is not very easy because he doesn't have test reviews and it is a lot of info to cover. His lectures are interesting and thorough.
HE IS THE BEST TEACHER AT HCC. EASYY A. THIS GUY IS A REAL GEM WHEN IT COMES TO TEACHING AND FUN. HIS LECTURES AND ILLUSTRATIONS ARE HILARIOUS AND IS IN A GOOD MOOD ALL THE TIME. HE'S A SPORT NERD SO A TON OF SPORT TALK DURING THE LECTURES WHICH ALWAYS LIFTS THE CLASS UP. 2 EASY ESSAYS, 3 EXAMS AND THAT'S IT. TRUST ME, YOU WON'T REGRET TAKING HIM.
Prof Martin is the only professor I loved from the 2 years I've been at HCC. Everyone else I've taken were nothing to remember. He explains everything very detailed and also breaks it down for us if we still didn't understand. I took him during the summer so it went by fast. Govt is my worse subject yet he made it so fun and understanding.
BEST teacher!!! Please guys take him if you can, you wont regret. Easy A
great teacher!
Study for the test! And no study guide but he tells the essay question.
He was a great professor , caring and had a very clear grading style . 3 exams , 2 essays which were from 2 easy prompts . Overall , this was not challenging of a class as long as you studied for the test , take notes in his lectures and do basic research for the essays . He is lecture heavy but is smart and has interesting views ,also unbiased.
I learned a lot from his lectures. He's an interesting person with unique views. He relates government to your daily life and makes government fun! Highly recommend!
Great professor! Explains government well and understands what he is talking about.
Only taking him for a short time as a sub for regular professor at HCC, but he's pretty decent. Lectures are detailed and full of relevant info. He doesn't always follow the slides in order but knows the content and communicates it clearly. Asks lots of questions and promotes participation without pressuring or being rude. Decent teacher overall.
He's one of the best teachers at HCC. If you take notes in his class, you'll be good. Makes challenging concepts simple to understand. If you take his class, be prepared to have your mind expanded. Classes are full of quirky facts which you can use to destroy the person arguing with you at the bar when it comes to government. 10/10 recommended.
hands down the best professor at HCC. funny, informative, quirky, amazing and caring. he legit wants everyone to enjoy his class, and his lectures are easily the best, he's always lifting up the class with his jokes and sport talk. just show up, take notes, study and that's it. exams aren't that hard if you study. you won't regret taking him
I took Govt in the summer. Taking his class in the summer I assume is very different versus in the fall/spring term. His class is straightforward, and he lets you know what you need to do to succeed. However, there is no cushion to help your grade, because your grade is entirely based on your tests. For TxGOVT, you read the book or fail. No PP's.
I followed the older reviews & I am glad I did! His class is exactly as what was reviewed! For anyone whose English is not first language, you may have to work harder for his A grade, but it is absolutely possible. The most important thing is reading textbook before tests and writing notes in class. Hard work pays off, you won't regret taking him:)
love his lecture and he is very reasonable. Not that many tests and finall.
Best professor I've ever taken. He makes govt fun for some reason. There was this one time he paused the lecture for a minute and just obsessed over Stranger Things :) I guess he did this to lighten up the lecture. He cares a lot about you learning and as well passing. Highly recommend.
With his 100% score, I assumed it was going to be one of my favorite classes since government is one of my favorite subjects. However, this teacher is highly overrated. Doesnt give reviews, only shows PowerPoints and you still need the textbook to understand the notes. 2 easy essays 3 tests.
If you are looking for a good and easy class where you will learn a lot you won't find it here. There are better professors if you are looking for an easy A, this one will actually make you do a lot of work. It really wasn't a bad class I was just looking for an easy A and I didn't find it in this class.
A caring and lovely professor. He gives clear and illustrated lecture that make it easier to learn although government itself is a boring subject. His tests are not too difficult if you study from the book and his notes carefully. Gives extra credit too. One of my favorite professor this semester. Would definitely taking him again!
He is a good teacher. Take him if you can.
3 tests (last test is the final), and one paper. Lecture heavy course. Kinda goofy and awkward. He takes attendance daily. Show up and study for tests. Super easy class!
He doesnt tell you what to focus on for tests. His papers are a easy a. Not much extra credit.
Very nice guy, however, his entire class is a power point presentation. You could easily just miss classes and get an easy B or C by looking over his powerpoints and reading the text. Very boring and not interesting whatsoever. Many people skipped almost every class and the ones that didn't tended to fall asleep.
Professor Martins lectures are straightforward. If you show up to class and study the materials you will do great on the tests and he is also funny. I highly recommend you take this professor.
Professor Byran is a bit of a goof, but I really enjoyed taking his class. Very straight forward during lectures. Pretty much everything he discusses in class will make its way to the exams. So, SHOW UP! He appreciates students that actually participate in his lectures. Easy A.
Took him for both Texas Govt and US Govt. He's a caring and lovely professor. Government class can be boring but he will lighten the class up. Tests are from his lecture so take good notes, study carefully and you'll sure get an A, essays are easy too. His discussion and talk make the class very inspiring. Highly recommend!
excellent professor! his lectures are amazing. federal government isn't easy but if you pay attention to his lectures and take good notes you will be fine. all i did was take very good notes on the things discussed in class and studied them for the tests and passed with an A. take him if you can!
Professor Martin is very straight forward with his expectations there is no reason to fail his class and he is there to help. Definitely recommend taking his class
One the best professor I've ever had! I took the class for 5 weeks , there were so many things to read, but Mr. Martin managed to make the course much easier than the way it is. He gives extra credit, he is very accessible, and tests are easy. There is only make up test possibility. Active participation is important to pass this class.
Good professor who tells you what you need to do to succeed. You must be careful with his class because the entire grade is based on 4 tests and like 3 discussion forums. As long as you read the book you will do well.
I took Professor Martin for Summer and I loved his class. He's clear with what you need to pass and the deadlines were clear as well. I learned a lot and he still made it interesting with our discussions. Will definitely take again.
I wasn't a big fan of government so the lectures were pretty boring for me but he's good at explaining. There are 2 papers and both of them are an easy A. For exams I literally studied the end of chapter summaries and the end of chapter vocabulary terms and got A's on every exam.
What stands out most about Professor Martin is his knowledgeability and his sense of humor. I'm taking his class in a fully online format, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The best way to go about his class, at least in online format, would have to be reading the textbook, which unfortunately can be boring. Nonetheless, a solid experience.
I would definitely take Proffesor Martin again. Hi gives good feedback and is very helpful. He wants you to suceed in his class.
The class was made up of 1 personal introduction, 6 discussions, and 4 tests. Most of the test material was on Quizlet so honestly, it isn't that hard to pass with AT LEAST a B, if you get anything lower you're just lazy. Provides 6 points extra credit to your final grade which is the teacher evaluation. Fairly easy tbh.
So great! We shared some laughs as we were from the same place! And he couldn't be a more engaging lecturer or approachable instructor! Take him!
I took professor Byran online due to covid, he is an amazing instructor. Highly recommended, his tests and discussions arent hard at all. Guaranteed to pass !
This class in the summer had only 4 tests and 4 discussions. The discussion was graded pretty easily and the tests were mostly on Quizlet, or you just had to try a little harder to find them. He also has extra credit and was very fair. I would take his class again!!
I take a summer 5 week online class, 4 discussions and 4 exams in total. He is easy grader, as long as you write something meet the requirement he will give you full grade. Exams are open book, easily found in Quizlet. Very easy A.
Took him for an online class. 4 unit tests and 6 discussions. Tests were easy and discussions were easy as well and he provides you resources to cite for your discussions. Didn't get to know him well because it was an online class but it was an easy pass. Make sure to meet the appropriate deadlines because he doesn't extend dates.
Such a great professor! Took him for an online class. He managed to answer back fairly quickly once he was emailed . There were 4 exams total and 6 discussions. The test were fairly easy if you study the chapter, but if your not a great test taker I would recommend using quizlet..
UTILIZE YOUR RESOURCES. Prof has study guides that go along with the textbook, practice quizzes, powerpoints, and crash course videos for each chapter before the test. Use them and you will do well on the tests which are important. Not a tough grader on the discussion posts. In fact, they are quite easy. Prof is also very informativ during lectures
Great professor, answers emails right away, only. 5 discussions, and 4 tests. Taking him again for Govt 2306.
Professor Martin is a great professor. He realizes that this is not the only class you'll be taking, so he doesn't waste your time or energy. He has a set list of assignments and due dates. He checks in about what he expects for the coming weeks. He is easily accessible if you have questions. Just a great class experience! No stress!
Fantastic professor. The textbook is large, so naturally that comes with some degree of difficulty, but grading was pretty lenient, so you don't have to worry. Lectures were relaxed, and the online portion was very well organized.
Fantastic professor. The textbook is large, so that comes with some degree of difficulty, but the grading is pretty lenient so you don't have to worry. The lectures were relaxed and the online portion was very well organized.
The class consist of 4 exams and a few discussions. The exams are easy as long as you read the material. The practice tests before the exams include questions that are in the actual exam. The discussions have a clear description and provide materials for you to use as reference. Professor is very friendly and understanding!
He's easy to work with but his career expertise is extremely limited. Also the link he provides you for the textbook somehow costs $50 more than if you search the isbn on cengage and buy it there. Not a difficult class but the lectures don't prepare you for the exam. Gives himself too much credit on his leniency, yet I wouldn't call him strict.
This class is definitely for someone who majors in political science.he is enthusiastic & I learned a lot about the government, politics, Congress, voting & other current events.1 make up for a test or discussion if you missed it altogether. No textbook. Plenty PowerPoints & study guides.
Great professor! His lectures keep you engaged, the work is easy and straightforward. Come to class and do the work and you get an easy A. I took him for gov 1301 and 2301 and both times were without struggle! seriously, take him, easy A hands down.
Easily the most enjoyable professor in any class I've ever taken. Everything is clearly structured with not a lot of work, however it's just talking about your own opinions, so it doesn't even feel like work if you're involved at a minimal level, which is also easy since he makes the discussions about modern topics that people can relate to.
The trove of good reviews gave me the wrong impression about this prof. He ignores emails and did not keep to his word concerning an exam. As for the exams, he mishmashes questions from the book, the practice exams, and in one instance, a question from Twitter. Knowing the book in and out won't even help you. Very stressful/disappointing experience
Only grades discussion board and tests with a 10-point extra credit for the introduction! Had a lot of free time with this course. Discussions are 250 words about a topic with a response to a classmate (Only 5). 4 tests that are easy if you study and have a limited amount of time to take them (an hour for 50Q).
Great Professor. He gives extra credit in the beginning of the year, DO IT. The only assignments were group discussions (plus replying to 2 other students) and tests. Really easy course.
Pretty simple class. 5 discussions, 4 tests, and an extra credit discussion at the beginning of the semester. The quizzes were a tad difficult, in the sense that they were oddly specific on what they were asking for. They were made easier by the ungraded practice quizzes that were offered. I greatly appreciated that he was not politically biased.
He is one of the best government professor's I've ever met! Take his class, listen to his words and read the part which he says and learn it or just read it thoroughly and take the test and write essay decently! Easy A and he is a very respectful professor! Just send him an email if you feel any pressures or any issues.
No lockdown browser required. 4 tests, 4 discussions posts. Super easy class. Take him.
This is a great class to take with Prof Martin, everything is straightforward and there are no surprises. He is respectful and educated in his subject, and keeps everything organized. Cool professor, I enjoyed his class!
Terrible
Professor Martin is an amazing professor! He made taking the class an enjoyable experience. The criteria and guidelines were clear. He cares and wants to see you succeed. I recommend him as a professor.
He is a great professor! I'm glad I picked him as a professor. Professor Martin is understanding. He will do his best to make sure you get something out of the class and at the same time make the process smooth and not stressful. Assignments and test are reasonable. (Thumbs up) Choose Professor Martin.
Professor Martin really cares about his students and is very educated within his field. A very understanding guy with expectations for success. His lectures helped me understand the material in a new way! Take Him!
Professor Martin was one of the best possible choices to ever take as he was quite caring and informative. He only gave 5-250 word discussion with one reply to a fellow classmate followed with 4 exams that are easy if you study the material or look online.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! TOOK THE SUMMER CLASS REALLY FAST CLASS. HE WANTS YOU TO BE ABLE TO KEEP UP BUT HE DON'T CROWD YOU!!!!!!! I'D TAKE HIM AGAIN AND MAYBE EVEN A IN PERSON CLASS.
Awesome professor! Took his class for the Summer and the assignments were 4 discussion posts and 4 tests of 50 questions but pretty simple tests! Would definitely recommend taking his class
I loved him. He cares for his students and understands certain circumstances.
5 tests and 4 discussions, open note and available from the beginning of the course. Clear grading criteria and the work isn't difficult. Friendly and understanding, definitely recommended if taking government courses online.
only 4 open book exams and 5 discussions, easy and caring professor with reasonable deadlines
Straightforward class with easy assignments. The exams are manageable if you study the practice tests. Unstuck study was a great supplementary tool for prep. Overall, a solid professor who keeps the course engaging.
Chill professor and class, most of the work consisted of discussion posts and tests that were fairly easy and not too hard.
He is amazing ! Take him easiest A I ever got
I took this online and his class work isnt so much , only have 5 discussions and a personal introduction , for the discussion you do have to reply to atleast 2 classmates if not your grade goes down. Theres only 10 assignments in total its not really bad. If you need help and reach out to him he would help you.
Easy A!!!!!!!
Easy A. His lectures are very engaging, I wasnt interested in government until I took his class. 5 discussions very easy, exams are online and no lockdown browser. Best professor I ever took!

Class consists of discussions and tests. His modules are very well organized making it easy to study for tests. Gives practice quizzes which make me very confident during testing. Just make sure you read take some notes and tests are very easy. Love the discussions. AMAZING PROFESSOR
I've always used rate my professor to pick professors for my courses, but never wrote a review. This professor is worth writing a review for. Incredible personality, extremely easy-going and understanding, and really made government interesting. Truly a class I looked forward to every week. Loved this guy
Course is very easy to follow though canvas with interesting discussions and easy exams to do with practice quizzes to help you prepare for it. He makes the lecture pretty interesting and always engages with his students and always brings good vibes every time though can be corny but in a good way, highly recommend taking him!
Great class, the professor is very outgoing and seemed to genuinely care about his students. Tests are open books and open notes; discussions and tests are not difficult if you read all the given materials.
