This guy is really funny. He makes lecture interesting. His first test is decievingly easy, but they do get harder. Overall, he's awesome. Looks like Greg Proops from Whose Line Is It Anyway?

Too easy that its insulting... never went to class and aced it

He is one of the most fun professors on campus.

Really straight-forward Chemistry class. He's SO funny and interesting. I looked forward to his lectures very much.

He is a great teacher and makes the class as easy as possible. He doesnt try to trick you on tests and doesnt put complicated problems on the tests either. Basic plug and chug problems. Don't need to go to class and you still can ace the tests.

He's so hot.

Martin is the best teacher i had at UF. Instead of making the goal be trying to fail atleast 50% of the students, he actually puts the student at ease about the class, and you actually do learn something! His test are easy because he issucha good lecturer

Martin isn't the best lecturer but if you follow along he basically tells you what is going to be on the tests. This class is easy but you still have to put some effort into it because it is chemistry.

i don't know what the rest of you are talking about. i loved him.

excellent teacher, brilliant, not easy though

Funny guy, but can get distracted easily from what he's teaching. Very good at explaining concepts and I really enjoyed the class, although he could go into more sunject matter. If you don't need to continue past chm II, he's good.

Well this man is a good fool. His test and quizzes are manageable as long as you take the time to study. His lecture is full of jokes and his crazy antics. If you want a smooth semester in chemistry, take Martin.

his antics in class include, but are not limited to.. throwing erasers at the period table in CLB130, constantly misspelling simple words, jumping on tables, and naming inanimate objects such as beakers (i.e. Gordon, Betty, etc). His quizzes are stupid and easy, but his tests are slightly tricky even though he promises they wont be. The liar.

This guy is hilarious. Some people think he's arrogant, but I actually liked going to his class. He makes Chem 2 easy to understand. Do your homework problems!! He does not write his exams-his TA's write all of the quizzes and exams, so pay attention to your TA in discussion because they will know exactly what will be on the tests.

His lectures are almost pointless. Honestly, if you just read the chapters (outline them if want. it helps come exam time so you don't have to read the whole chapter again), do the homework problems and if you have any problems go to your TA. Simple as that. You even get a quiz and test drop. How much better can you get?

Pretty good teacher. His notes are clear and organized, so you can just read the notes for the exam. You can not pay attention in class and still understand everything from the notes. His tests are totally reasonable and getting an A in the class is more than possible.

Easy and funny, doesnt make the class seem monotonous and long. Easiest chem 2 teacher.

Martin is a great professor. I was never that bored in his class. Definitely take CHEM 2 with him b/c he is a lot easier. Many of my friends and I got an A.

you will never be bored. this guy is sooo random and crazy. tests are mostly fair and easy. thumbs up!

Tests are totally fair. Lectures are actually fun, for the most part. Good at explaining concepts. Off-the-wall sense of humor. Excellent taste in clothes...

Told us on the first day he was the easiest chem 2 teacher, he was right. Not hard to get an A, that's for sure. My only problem is he never lets us know where his band is playing...

You want this man for Chem 2...He is hilarious...and you'll figure out where all those chalk marks on the periodic table come from...The TA's write harder stuff than Dr. Martin, so hope that he writes (it can alternate sometimes). He repeats everything 50 times, but definitely go to discussion to get what he didn't cover in class; it shows up later

This class was so much easier than I expected. Tests are so simple but you must understand the concepts to get a good grade. My lowest test grade was an 85, which is an A. Not that much studying is needed except for the acid/base and titration test. Final was composed MAINLY, but not all, of exact questions from the exams taken in the semester.

Definitely one of the easier chem professors. go to class b/c he works A LOT of example problems in class in his notes, a lot of which will reappear in quizzes and exams. Although slow at times, his lectures and notes are very clear. Not hard to get an A at all with good studying, highly recommend him. oh yeah, and he's absolutely hilarious!

Really easy teacher. Go to class and he'll give you a couple of test questions. Very relaxed teacher, had a band and models himself after Elvis. Very down to earth and good teacher.

TAKE THIS CLASS. he is hilarious and makes sure all students understand the concepts. if you go to class you will make a good grade.

He's basically a college male in an adult's body. He has great hair, funky sideburns, and makes class interesting. He works several problems in class, the likes of which you are guarenteed to see on an exam or quiz. The questions not based off lecture are based on the homework problems from the book. Go to class and work problems and you're gold.

Definitely the best professor I've ever had, I highly recommend him. He is pretty easy, made it possible for me to understand Chem 2. Go to class, you'll learn a lot and he takes test questions right from his notes.

One of the easier CHM2046 professors. Take notes and do the assigned homework problems to do well on the exams. Final exam is easy because its mainly questions from the old exams. This class = relatively easy A. 2nd test and 2nd quiz (titrations) are the hardest, so be prepared. Class grade is: Best 2 of 3 tests, best 2 of 3 quizzes, & final exam.

i enjoyed this class. he's definitely one of the easier chem 2 teachers. he likes to tell jokes during class, and act like a clown. its pretty amusing for the first month or two. the titration sections are the hardest part of the class. take the class if you can; he loves to ask conceptual questions on quizzes/tests.

This guy's a riot and I actually enjoyed going to class most days..take notes from whatever he says in class..except of course the stuff he rambles on about. REALLY easy class..I halfa$sed it and gotta copy of an old final, and ended up with a B+, and had I given any effort throughout the year, I would easily come away with an A.

Martin is just about the easiest chem teacher ever. Do the homework problems, and know your TA and for sure go to discussion because they tell you what is on the test! SOOOO EASY! And entertaining in class....like other people said, you'll know why there are chalk marks on the periodic table in the classroom.

Highly recommended over the other chemistry teachers. As long as you go to class and take notes (he writes his notes on the chalkboard) and pay attention, you will do well in this class. His tests aren't hard but they also aren't easy so study the notes and memorize the problems he tells you are on the test (YES, he tells you they are on the test!)

Martin in the man. He is by far the easiest Chem 2 teacher. He is very funny and very far. The tests and quizzes are not bad. It is very helpful to go to class and you MUST read the textbook and do the practice problems. If you work hard, Martin is an easy A.

If you go to class and discussion, read all of the chapters covered in the course.. it is actually pretty simple to get an "A or B+" in the class.

Martin is a good professor in that he knows what he's talking about, but he takes 20 minutes to teach what he could in 5, so it's easy to get confused, especially when he goes on tangents. He doesn't seem like he'd be very helpful outside of class, either. I would recommend Viege over Martin.

Martin is a straightfoward, funny, fare guy. He is arguably the best easyest chem 2 teacher at UF. He does a great job of explaining concepts, and basically tells you more or less what will be on the test. His teaching style involves alot of conceptual thinking.

Martin is a very laid-back funny guy. I think he's been teachin here 4 lyk 20 yrz so he explains everything very well. Between him and the TAs you know what's going to be on the exams. I'm a lil scared though bcuz I heard the final is going to be really hard. Take Martin if you can; he's amazing teacher and has a very fun class.

This guy is hilarious, and he looks like Buddy Holly/Jimmy Neutron. He's definitely one of the easier CHM2046 teachers. His tests are very conceptual and if you go to class he'll tell you whats important. Even if you hate chemistry, this guy will still entertain you.

The most entertaining chem 2 professor at UF!

Take him if you can. The final was hard, just as he had warned, but I still came out with an A. Go to class, he actually makes it entertaining. Honestly.

Colonel Martin was a great professor. He is one of the easier professors for 2046. Going to class helps a lot. His tests are very similar to past tests so try and get ahold of them to practice. Final was hard but he warned the class about it. He is very entertaining so class is never extremely boring. He only tests on 5 chapters!! TAKE MARTIN!

Take Martin! Seriously. I strongly dislike chemistry, and therefore barely study, yet I managed to pull an A in the course. Exams are terribly easy if you can find someone with old exams. He copies most questions verbatim. Final was pretty tough, but it was still manageable. Highly recommended.

Professor Martin is awesome! He is the professor you want for chem 2.Go to class and discussion b/c it will greatly help you on the tests. He is hilarious and I actually enjoyed going to lecture. His tests are easy but the final was a bit more difficult. Try to find someone who has his old tests and study those. He is a great professor!

Martin is by far the easiest Chem 2 teacher. Take him if you want the easy A.

Good teacher! teaches everything well, he also tells u along the way what you can expect to see on the exams/quiz...overall really easy, no surprising stuff on the test! just study what he teaches in class and you will get an A!! TAKE HIM!!!!!

He's Awesome. Actually makes Chemistry interesting. If you go to class and do book problems/old exams there is no reason you can't get an A. The final was pretty tough, but he did warn us as someone else said. I'd say: TAKE HIM! Plus, he's in a band. 8-)

I took his class Spring 2008. His lectures are interesting and funny, the hints he gave in class actually pertained to the test unlike other teachers. This is the first chemistry class I've taken where I actually remember what I learned months later. I highly recommend this teacher!

Very entertaining

This professor was AMAZING I really didn't like my chem 1 teacher but I loved him. He made chemistry enjoyable which to me is great cause I really dislike it. Overall take chem 2 with him he is the BEST.

Take him if you dont really want to learn anything. he talks on and on about the history of his life. He makes class fun but you also catch yourself wondering,over and over, of why you are even there. Oh yeah, and you get to learn a lot of "interesting" stuff about nanoscience such as "nano science is smart" and "nanoscience is small".

He is a really cool guy and he loves what he does. Great for all the visual learners out there cuz he uses alot of hand gestures and analogies.

Great teacher! Very enthusiastic, laid back and understandable. If you do the homework, you'll succeed. Easy on the eyes, too!

He does lots of rambling. LOTS. He repeats himself ALOT, but it drills it in your head, so its for your benefit. He breaks everything down into something you can understand, and its pretty easy if you attend class and take notes. Super nice dude, looks like Jimmy Neutron. The TA's make the exams... so it differs semester to semester.

Colonel is a great guy. Funny, entertaining, clear, and honest with questions he will put on exams. Plus 2 drops and a big curve. Take Martin!

Colonel Martin is a great guy and a great teacher. The recommended problems from the book are very helpful with what you will be tested on. He's a great and hilarious guy who will help you as much as you need. He does rample a lot but Chem 2 is only 5 chapter so its fine. GO TO EVERY CLASS.

Attending class and not zoning out during the lecture is the surefire way to get a decent grade in this class.

Take CHM 2046 with Martin. You will be glad you did. He is by far the easiest CHM 2046 teacher out of all of them, and rather than cover a broad range of topics he focuses in depth on a few key concepts. He keeps lectures interesting with his humor and stories about himself, and his test are not hard if you do the suggested practice problems.

probably the easiest professor teaching this semester, grade wise. doesn't mean you'll learn the most, but still fine at teaching, though his style is a bit crazy. grades are only tests, quizzes, and final. tests are very manageable. 95 75 80 were mine, but doesn't really correlate to difficulty, just amount of studying. final was relatively easy.

Definitly the easiest professor for CHM2046. Usually only teaches spring semester. If you are looking to get an A in 2046 take him. Notes are decent and he is good at making point. Teaches visually and repeats himself ALOT.

Easiest prof for chem 2; if you have prior background you should have no problem. Tests did get harder as the course went on, but that's just chemistry. Overall a good choice

Martin is by far the easiest professor for CHM2046. His tests and quizzes are easy and as long as you go to TutoringZone, you'll be fine. He's fun and makes class amusing so it's not a chore to go at all. It's worth remaking your entire schedule to get into his class, he really is that much easier than the other professors.

I had to retake chemistry so i chose this professor, and i am in such awe with the difference and quality of education in this course verses the one i had before. He is very passionate about the students actually understanding the material instead of just being able to memorize and regurgitate. So if you want to make sure you actually learn and that you get a more than fair chance at an A. You must take this guy!

he is the easiest because he is the BEST. he drills the concepts and fully works out solutions to problems in class, not just rushes through a power point. very helpful in office hours, but as a side note: he doesn't write recommendation letters for his chm2046 students :/

Hands down BEST professor you can have for chem 2. He tells you what you need to know and unlike a lot of teachers, his goal is not to trick you, it's to make you learn chemistry. He says in class "a type of problem like this WILL be on the exam" so as long as you pay attention you'll do great.

I don't understand what people below me are talking about, sure he made mistakes but he fixed them all and everyone got the grade they deserved. IF YOU STUDY A LITTLE, YOU WILL GET THE GRADE YOU DESERVE. The material isn't that difficult, he basically goes through every problem that is on the test in class. He's a really good teacher

The Colonel is an accomplished researcher and a decent professor. However, his behavior is quite mercurial as he oscillates between his compassionate demeanor during lectures, to sudden erratic and eccentric spectacles when he goes off on tangents. His quizzes and exams aren't bad at all if you study, but watch out for the final exam.

The final was killer!! He had interesting lectures and I have a lot of respect for the colonel. He is not the 'easy A' everyone says he is, its chemistry! You have to put a good amount of effort to succeed in this and any chemistry class.

I realized while taking this class that I hate chemistry, so I can't say I put a ton of effort in all the classes. A on the first exam, C's on the rest. Martin's a pretty good teacher, at least better than the others. You definitely will have to study, I was retaking this class from high school, and the final was AWFUL. textbooks also a must.

This is a class where you have to actually LEARN the material, go figure. If you're having trouble with his lectures you NEED to go to tutoringzone! It's a life saver!

Martin is definitely one of the more easy chem teachers at UF. That being said, chem is still tricky and a lot of work, if you get stuck Tutoringzone is still the best option.

Definitely the best chm2046 teacher, take him. loves nanoscience-study that for the final. wasnt extremely easy or extremely hard. tz helps, old tests def help. do the questions in the book he gives you.

He probably is the easiest chem 2 prof. But that doesn't mean you can slack off. I made the mistake of slacking after getting a 100 on the first exam. attend lecture (he's entertaining) and his tests and quizzes come from what he does in class. He's kinda full of himself, but don't tune out, he will test you on stuff that comes out of his mouth

HE IS AMAZING!! He's definitely has a giant ego but all in all worth it. Kicked back relaxed and enjoyed an actually interesting chemistry class for once. Also, go see his band. One to get on his good side and two because it's a pretty fun experience.

He is very funny and makes his lectures very fun. He relates chem to real life and he is very talented. He even made his own freshman chemistry song. He is also the easiest chem 2 professor and his exams are easy! Best chem 2 professor for sure.

Best chem 2 professor at UF! He is funny and always entertaining. He moves at a slower pace (which is nice), but you still learn a lot. Use study edge to help and you should be fine. Study and you will do fine. Overall great class!!

coolest kat on campus. first of all, he's a world renowned chemist and was the pioneer of nanotechnology; he's also in a band. he has so much enthusiasm and charisma during lectures and is a real nice, funny guy. best professor i've had here at UF. this guy is the bees knees.

Interesting, funny, eccentric hippie dude. free autographed CD, kind of full of himself. I went to his office once, don't remember if he helped or just talked about himself. I was 1 test question short of an A, the correct answer was "Charles Martin" and I chose one of the other famous chemists like Faraday or something. 2011

Martin does much more than other professors and tries to make the material as interesting as possible, which is not for everyone. All of his tests are very fair and come straight from lecture. And his students statistically do better than any other professors student when they take orgo the following year. He is definitely character and is unique.

If you truly understand the concepts and chemistry in general, this class is extremely easy. Got higher than a 90% on all four exams with barely studying. Final exam was application-based, and was completely fair since you had over an hour and a half to figure out 20 questions. Study edge not needed. Read book and pay attention in lectures.

Phenomenal professor and an easy A if you read the book, do the practice problems, and pay attention and take notes in lecture. This professor made me switch my major to chemistry. The way he describes his six core concepts provides you with a very strong understanding of the basics of chemistry, which helps you succeed in more advanced classes.

This class is more difficult that 2045! Even with going to every lecture I need to use Study Edge to really understand how to do everything. It defiantly made the difference in my grade and i'm not sure where i would have been without it. Just exam reviews were not enough the weekly reviews make life so much easier and the class less difficult

While Professor Martin's class was tough, it is chemistry and that should be expected. I thought the class was over all taught well, and the tests were very fair, even the final exam. I believe this is a course that if you put in the time and effort it is not that difficult to receive an A.

Dr. Martin is probably one of the better Chem 2 professors. He does a good job going over concepts but he spends much of the class telling jokes, he's kinda like a mad scientist in a lot of ways. Definitely show up to class, do textbook problems, and use Study Edge, it helps a lot cause one of the tutors used to TA for him!

Look. People always complain about failing a class when tests are hard. This is college and this is chemistry. Overall if you understand the concepts chemistry with any professor is easy. Go to lectures and write down what this man says. Most test questions come from what he says in class. I wouldnt say the class is a cakewalk, but it was a fun one

The class was pretty straightforward at least online, watch the videos, take notes, do the homework and review the notes. By following that simple formula you are guaranteed an easy A on the class. It is important to review the notes because a big part of the exam is based on facts he mentions during lecture. Overall very light chemistry class.

The Colonel was one of my favorite professors at uf. He only grades off tests and quizzes which can be tough but I really enjoyed his lectures. He always has some new story to tell which was somehow related but made me laugh. I never expect too much from the chem department but he exceeded expecatations. 10/10 recommend. Go to lectures to do well.
