Knows material really well and will answer any question but he goes too fast and then acts like it's easy. Yea it's easy for you because you've done it for 20 years!!!

Great teacher! He knows the material inside and out. Works very hard to ensure you understand the subject material. He is very hard, but you do learn a great deal. I would recommend him to anyone.

Knows material really well Great teacher. His test are kinda hard though.

By far the best teacher you can take. His notes are redicuously intricate, so that when you go over them later they are understandable. His examples flow great with the book material. The class is not easy by any means, but if you work at it you will learn more in this class than in any other.

Tough but fair. Notes are great. Easier to understand than book. Don't expect to just get by in his class. Have to do lots of work and ask questions (although i think i was the only one asking questions; the rest of the class just sat there!) Tests are hard but you learn a lot.

I took his summer Physics I course so I could take AP Physics. Not an impossible teacher, but if you don't study you'll definitely fail. He knows his stuff well and always has these weird/funny stories to go along with the topics. If you are interested in physics, he's definitely worth it; if not then go find someone else.

He gives off a tough vibe, but he's very approachable and always answers questions readily. While he may come off as arrogant, this is a good professor and I would recommend him regardless of his sarcastic teaching style that seems to bother people that need to be babied. Just listen in lecture and you'll do fine.

He's a genius when it comes to physics and obviously enjoys teaching students. He's more than willing to take time to explain things you don't understand during office hours. Do the suggested homework problems and have good attendance and you will do fine. His class is really interesting and always fun to go to!

This professor is very hard. His favorite position is... Well anyway, he works very hard at making sure that students have perfect notes and lecture material. Go take jewelry making if you want an easy A.

Took his class in the summer. Easy teacher. Bring cookies to class and you get an A. His tests have 7 Physics questions that are more math than actual physics. Don't take this class if you suck at math. Simple labs. Come to class and do your homework for an A. Personality wise, gives off a tough vibe and clearly hates stupid people.

i read/heard alot of negative things about this guy before i started teh course. But he was the only one teaching it ... turned out to be the best instructor i've had at jccc. He comes off a bit rough but he tells it like it is. His lecures are clear and he kinda tells you whats going to be on test. Looking forward to phys 2 next semester.

You will learn a lots from him. Take his class and you will be fine.

You will learn a lots from him. Take his class and you will be fine.

Very clear cut notes. Just go to class and write down everything he does then use that for hw problems. Hw is pretty necessary to do well on test but doesnt count for anything. Tells you problems that are on test. Labs are quick to do and dont take long to complete questions. Comes off arrogant but its just a weird sense of humor.

Notes come straight off the board. All the tests follow the same format. His class is very organized and structured.

Really great teacher in my opinion. He's tough, opinionated, and can be a little condescending at times, but if you use that as encouragement to do well then it wont bother you. The class is tough you will have to do the problems in the book if you want to pass, even though they are not required. Attendance is not required, but recommended.

Martinez is a great teacher! He is somewhat difficult (but i believe that is more the material than him.) He uses real world examples, will work through any problem you need him to, and will spend his office hours to help as well. He wants you to succeed, but you do have to put forth the time and effort to succeed in his classes.

Yes he is very condescending and therefore the class won't speak up but his class is way more structured and helpful than a university physics class.Notes/hw examples come from board, labs link directly to lecture, hw is based directly on notes, test is based directly on the homework which is impossible to say for a place like KSU

His humor can be mean but lighten up (or just ignore it). His stories are hilarious. The class is hard but he is very fair with partial credit and grading. dont be scared to ask ?s and if you are you shouldnt be in college. I do not like physics but Martinez is a good fair teacher

I thought Mr. Martinez was a great teacher. Some people think his class is difficult, but I think those people would have difficulties with physics no matter who their teacher was. His lectures and notes were so thorough, that I never even bought the text book, and still got an A. And he's not trying to be condescending when he jokes around.

Has a lot of interesting (and funny) stories like high-velocity snakes. He is very fair on his tests, and expects you to know your calculus. His class is very structured, and he guides you by the nose through the experiments. All you have to do is follow the intructions. His sarcasm is often taken as arrogance, but overall he is a great teacher.

Martinez is a good professor. He is knowledgeable. His lectures are very organized and helpful. Tests are hard. You have to study hard and understand the concepts, otherwise you could not pass the tests!

I must admit, the first week lived up to the "arrogant prof" hype. However, after finishing out the semester I must conclude that he simply wants to weed out the people who want an A handed to them on a plater. I actually thought he was pretty dang funny most of the time. Take Martinez if you want a prof who knows his stuff and gives perfect notes.

Really funny guy. Can be intimidating to overly-sensitive people. He just wants to weed out the slackers. Labs are fairly easy and he leads you "by the nose" through them. If you want to get an A you must do the homework and rework the examples from the notes.

One of the best teachers I've had. He's very clear with examples and knowledgeable about the material, and hilarious.

Love this guy! He makes class so fun and interesting.He's really funny and really knows his stuff. I highly recommend him. Best physics professor ever.! "Gravity!" lol

full of fun and jargons, "go figure" "it never fails", "gravity". a great professor who knows what he is talking about! the best physics professor ever!

Great professor. Made physics interesting! I never felt bored in class. Homework problems are challenging but I like it. Notes are clear and pretty comprehensive too.

He's very sarcastic during his lectures and can come off as rude, but don't let that fool you. He is a great teacher, will answer any question you give him. Take thorough notes; his examples are excellent. My notes were my best resource when studying for tests. Note: If you are over sensitive, or you hate physics andor humor, don't take his class.

Professor Martinez is clear and concise and throws in a good amount of humor into his lectures. I was amazed by the time spent reviewing questions on homework in order to insure that students understood the material completely. Lectures go by quickly because there is so much material to go over, so make sure to take good notes. DO THE HOMEWORK.

Attend lectures, do homework, ask questions and you will do well. Professor Martinez is a seasoned physicist who understands how to convey physics concepts to students. Will recommend to anyone thinking of learning physics from the best.

Class is hard, but you will learn a lot. Be ready to take on hard tests, all I can recommend is to really do the homework, and not just copy answers, actually understand the concept. Also recommend re-doing from scratch all of the problems he did as examples, and you will get an easy B at least. Don't slack on the labs, they will help your grade.

The best teacher!! really engages the class and keeps it interesting. I would love to take his class again

Mr. Martinez is good teacher. His humor throws some people off, but he just trying to make us better, and the material memorable. The test are difficult, but it is physics. He is good at explaining things.

Martinez knows all there is to know about physics, & has an effective method of teaching through stories, etc, but he can catch you off guard when he'll (softly?) make fun of an answer if you just make a guess. It really helps you remember the topic, though. Fair grader, but tests were very difficult - DO HOMEWORK + ask him to solve them in class!

I had so much in his class even if it was challenging, but hey it's Physics!. If you're oversensitive & LAZY don't take him coz he's really sarcastic, but I enjoyed it and that made learning experience fun. Gotta study hard for his exams & DO the HOMEWORKS! YES THEY HELP. I got a 96% on one of the exams in his PHYS II class though."101 students"lol

The first force I label, the most important force in the world is the WEIGHT, mg, which acts STRAIGHT DOWN! Martinez is great. One of the best profs I've ever had. Tests are pretty tough, but it's engineering phys so what do you expect? Highly entertaining lectures, knowledgeable professor, you can't go wrong.

Best professor I've ever had, he's the G.O.A.T for sure.

Hands down, the best Physics professor at JCCC (in my experience). Typically the only people that don't like him simply failed the class and couldn't keep up with the rigorous studies of engineering physics. He is Hilarious and gives excellent notes over the material. You must give this class your best effort to succeed!

He is a very good techer that makes the subjects very clear to understand. The labs are always easy to follow and always corilate with what you are doing in class. Keep up with the homework and pay attention in class and you will pass easily. Very funny guy as well.

Funny Teacher! College Physics is hard, no question about it. To pass, attend all the classes, take notes and do the homework problems. If you do all of this, you'll be fine. The labs are easy and match the lecture very well. He is sarcastic though, not a big deal but, get ready. Remember mg points straight down!

Prof Martinez is a snarky, sarcastic teacher. He knows his subject, makes you laugh and learn at the same time. Remember the is no one more qualified to teach physics that him Easiest form in the WORLD to label is the weight mg which acts STRAIGHT DOWN.

His lectures are good, he's funny, and sarcastic. Homework is not collected or graded, but you need to do them to succeed in this class. Be prepared to use up to 2 reams of paper on homework alone. If you aren't ready to work hard in a course, then don't take this class.

Martinez is an incredible professor, 10/10 sort of guy. He's a good and entertaining lecturer, and he cares a lot about physics and his students. That being said, BE PREPARED to put the time in if you want to get a good grade. It is very possible to do well if you do the homework and study, but don't expect to do well if you don't put the time in.

My favorite professor out of the dozen or more I've had at JCCC. In-person lectures are the best part of his class, and he keeps the difficulty at a doable level, provided you put in the effort. Engineering physics isn't easy, but Martinez makes it fun and teaches it in an understandable and enjoyable manner.

Professor Martinez is a great professor, lectures are very clear and he is easily accessible for help. This is a challenging subject, so be prepared to put in the time and effort on the homework. Tests are also based on homework. Labs were pretty easy; as long as your justification is reasonable, you won't get marked off for exceeding deviations.

Martinez is God

Martinez is one of the most entertaining professors I've ever had. Guided notes and book homework. His grading is fair where partial credit is key. The best part about his class is you don't have to take notes, you don't have to do the homework, and don't even have to show up to class! All jokes aside I highly recommend him as a professor.

Awesome Professor, by far my favorite. He was very sarcastic, as many others have noted, makes a fun atmosphere in the classroom. Homework is never due, but you WILL NOT do well on the tests if you don't go through the problems! ask him to solve them in class if you need help. Attendance is not mandatory but it is necessary to learn the topics.

Very consistent in his lectures and sarcastic (but entertaining) attitude. Labs align perfectly with what is being covered in the lecture. Practice problems assigned from the book were much harder than those put on the test, but are not graded or required. As long as you pick up on the main ideas/equations, the class should be easy. Ask Questions!

His teaching style is very different and not for everyone, but me and several of my other classmates thoroughly enjoyed his class. The labs line up with the material and do a good job helping you prepare for exam material. Engineering physics was my first physics ever, and he made it doable.

After barely getting a B in EP1, which was my first physics class ever, I was able to get an A in this class due to his ability to teach clearly, and help me when I needed it. Lectures are informative, entertaining, and you will never cease to be amazed. From "Oh no, don't report me to the dean" to "Thank God I'm an expert at vectors" 10/10

70% of the grade was in 5 tests, the other 30% is in labs. So don't miss a lab and make sure you do the assigned homework problems to prepare for tests. He's kinda loud and a bit abrasive but never mean or unfair, so don't let it scare you. The lectures were great with pre-made notes handed out.

Very entertaining, definitely going to take him for physics 2. He has quite the personality but makes it very enjoyable and gives lots of laughs This man was a genius when he was 7 years old

Tells the best stories. His class was a lot of fun for both Engineering Physics 1 and 2. My favorite quote from his 101 students is "because the speed of sound is faster than the speed of smell" I have no clue what he does to his 101 students but the engineers get to hear all of it He lets you know what to study for his test JUST FOCUS ON THAT

Mr.Martinez is an old school goldie. Uses the shock and awe approach to teaching. First few weeks are HARD. Lab work 5+ hrs per week. Has a personality to him but it helps keep the class alive. Overall nice guy once you get used to it. HW and Tests are pretty spot on. Wish that their was example HW and the HW was a little more indepth. 8.5/10 :D

Prof. Martinez is a great teacher. Premade note packets and he writes all his own labs so they line up well with materials covered in class. Lectures are great and engaging, Lots of funny stories and real world examples.. Easy grader gives a ton of partial credit on exams and labs but i liked his teaching style and learned a lot , highly recommend

Martinez's lectures are very entertaining, while also very insightful. He always tells you what will be on the exam. The only problem you may find is that he is loud and has an insensitive sense of humor, but if you're fine with that (I personally liked it), prepare to learn a lot and maybe even enjoy yourself.
