Professor Martins was a great teacher. Although I will not agree with the previous comments about this class being easy. He is a very fair professor. What you do is what you get in the class. You MUST take notes and attendance is mandatory. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects of history. I recommend his class if you want to learn.

Extremely insightful, yet this class should not be taken lightly. The material that is being covered needs to be comprehended before you proceed to the next topic. This class requires a lot of lengthy note taking.It also does not provide homework.Which means that impact of your grade soley relies on your notebook with the help of only 2 exams.

He makes your notes worth 40% of your grade and he expects a min of 5 pages a class, this is unreasonable because he constantly gets off track when he lectures and talks about how hungry he is or his pranks for the whole class time. Afterward he explains that his class prepares you for the future and that he teaches you "important" skills. Really??

Not an easy class, lot's of note taking, it's all about your notes. Literally. Professor wants you to write EVERYTHING he says,( Hell, you get graded on it!). In the process, you'll develop calluses on your hands as well as your brain. Turns out, speed writing notes improves you somehow. Only two tests but you have to prepare for it, Meticulously.

He is pretty cool and gives useful information that is actually effective. Only thing I wish is that he talked more about African Americans in AMH. He literally talks about other nations but I felt like he avoided African Americans in AMH. He is a knowledgeable man. Patience is short though otherwise he great.

Take this class. Yes it's a lot, and a lot of writing but the Professor teaches such valuable skills that few Professors I've taken before have taught me. He doesn't only teach you history in such a fascinating manner but also gives you invaluable life lessons that you can carry on outside the course. One of the best Professor's I've ever had.

MDC Live. Write lots of notes for the lectures (everything he says, no matter what it is). It's VERY easy. Attendance not mandatory, but you have to watch it on your own time. Notes due at end of semester. Final is easy. No textbook; he sends you the vocab you need for the final. Write the vocab on a page for final which is only fill-in-the-blank

Be warned, you will take a lot of notes. I clocked in at 32,000 words. But don't let that deter you. Take this class, you will learn a lot and come out of it a better student. 5 stars.

If you're lazy avoid taking this professor. This is not a "hey google" course. You have to take notes throughout the entire lecture with no visual aids. I love his approach to teaching the material. As long as you do your notes you will pass with at least pass with a C. The concept is not hard at all some people just choose to make it a problem.

The thing about Professor Martins is that the actual lecture has legitimately nothing to do with the class at all, you'd have to see for yourself it's actually mind boggling how off subject it gets. The tests actually have to do with American history. However, it's an Easy A with the note taking. Find it kind of weird that he personally calls you.
