everybody loves garry!

Very helpful feedback, clear assignments

Best prof in the world!

great teacher. one of the best i've had.

Great Prof, take his class! Plus he looks like Hugh Heffner!

I saw him once... he must have flown back from the Playboy mansion.

This prof is in control of the best teaching technique at the university, take his course just to learn the system. he is unbelievable.

great system to learn with ... now that you mention it ... he does resemble hugh!

I took his course by correspondence and it was wonderful. A nice, approachable, helpful prof. Very easy marker.

I took his course by correspondence and it was Great. Very helpful prof. The Best!

Excellent prof. He is a good man.

Charming, organized, and enjoys seeing his students succeed. Amazing human being, and the guy literally wrote the book on the subject matter...knows his stuff!

he knows his stuff very very well, friendly and helpful. great prof.

Very helpful and fair.

He is such a nice kind man. He actually cares about students doing well and gives them a chance. I'm really glad I had him.

amazing teaching technique. learned more here than in any other class. 6 tests and 4 practicums with the option to make up 2 tests of your choice. test every second week (7-8 short answer Q) so not a ton of material to memorize. Easy A+ plus the guy is nice. Dont be afraid to ask for more marks

the ideal class!! great prof that actually wants his students to all get A+!! Would never pass up a chance to take another class with him. no surprises in this class at all. his personal life exapmles are great!

Dr. Martin has an ability to inspire you to want to succeed in his classes. He is the most compassionate and intricate prof I have had. He just rocks...

Awesome prof! Interesting stories that relate to the material! Test questions are provided prior to exams, so as long as you know those you're golden. There are 6 exams, though, so there is some work involved. I definitely reccomend this class!

I love this guy!! His courses are awesome. You'll learn sooo much. His behavior modification class was gold. He is also super super nice. He is the university of manitoba's crown jewl.

He is the most amazing prof I have ever had!! His teaching style is unique and extremely helpful. You can do rewrites on 2 tests and test questions come from the textbook! It really doesn't get much easier than this. Plus, the course material is very interesting. Take beh mod or sport psych with him!! I am in love with him he is just that good!!!!!

I took BM as a distance ed course, and I almost regret not taking it during regular season so I could go to the lectures. He is a great guy, asks reasonable exam questions, and the assignments are pretty easy. If you have an oppertunity to have him, take his classes.

Wonderful prof! I took Sport Psyc in-class and Bmod through Dist Ed. I enjoyed both of them, but in-class was much more fun. Gary Martin is a great teacher. He makes the classes interesting, and he is easy to talk to. The grading scale scared me at first, but if you work at it, you will have no problem! Great courses to take with him!

if you can memorize the answers to 70 questions before a test (there are 6 in total) You will get an A+. Test questions are the exact same as the study questions he gives you, pure memorization. Try to find someone who has taken the course and can give you answers to those questions...will save you sooo much time! I really do recommed this class.

Amazing knowledge, efficient

Gary is a very nice professor. His class is very easy because he is very straightforward about what is on the tests. Every two weeks there is one lecture, one review class, one test, and one practicum. Gary knows a lot about behavior modification, and his explanations are very clear.

You are my hero.

Brilliant!

I took this course years ago. To this day, Dr. Martin stands out as the professor who had the most enthusiasm for his subject, he was practically infectious! I learned a lot from him and only wish I'd taken more of his classes while I was a student at UofM.

This man is one of my heroes. He is gifted and humble, knowledgeable and wise, you owe it to yourself as a student to learn from this incredible human being. The subject matter is also very interesting, and you would be wise to learn it...do not take this for the "easy" factor (you're cheating yourself) take it because you want to better yourself.

After taking his sport psych course, I now know why he got the best prof of 05 award. Yeah. I won't say that the material is hard or that his tests are hard... but... there is a lot of reading and tons of memorization. If you want an easier mark, take it distance ed. If you're considering going into sport psych, take his lecture. Lecture's harder.

What an outstanding professor. Kind, easy to approach, and passionate about what he teaches. You will have to work hard for your mark, but an A+ is quite attainable. :)

an amazing prof. i highly recogmend him.

sport psyc was great with this professor

Take ANY class with him. He is the best. Also, he teaches from HIS textbook. Very helpful prof.

I've heard great things, but I only had him for a distance course. The only complaint I have is that the entire course was a textbook that he wrote. Even the exam was comprised of questions from the book. That kind of thing just bothers me, but that's just me. Seems like a great prof.

Simply the best! It's ashame that he's retiring. However, quite possibly the most down to earth prof you'll meet. Most of the PSY profs at U of M have their heads in the clouds but not Garry. He treats students with respect and loves what he's doing...

One of the BEST professors at the UofM!

Garry is by far the best psycho proff at the U of M! He really wants his studnents to learn and master the material and he makes the whole process painless! He takes his time and outmost care to ensure that everyone does their best.The power is in our hands for once in terms of achieving the mark we want to achieve. God Bless Dr.Martin

AMAZING TEACHER!!! By far the best prof at the U of M

easy course, extremely helpful, he is the best!!!

His lectures are a must listen too! I didnt care too at first but after listening to the 1st...2nd..3rd etc, they had essential meaning. He genuinely cares about students. Lectures sum up things better than the textbook. Put in effort like all courses and get an A+

Best prof ever! Make sure you take his DE courses as an elective. I have also taken sport psych with him

Took Behavior Mod through DE and Sport Psych. I would highly recommend both. Try to avoid taking Beh Mod with any other prof. He is VERY fair in his marking. You'll learn a tons too!

Took Behavior Mod through DE and Sport Psych. I would highly recommend both. Try to avoid taking Beh Mod with any other prof. He is VERY fair in his marking. You'll learn a tons too!

Easy class, awesome prof. Definitely take sport psych as an elective you won't regret it! Take it DE though very easy and little work required. easy A or A+ if you study for the final.

Best professor in the university!

I took both Sports psych and Behav. Mod. distance ed. with him. If you put in the work to do all the assignments and exam prep questions and study them, you will get an A+. He was very helpful and you actually learn a lot if you study for the final. Sports psych is the easier of the two classes. 50% for assignments, 50% final.

Took both Behav Mod and Sport Psyc with him. Do the work and you'll get good marks! He's also very helpful & approachable if you have any questions.

It's difficult not to like the course/professor. I've taken all the courses he offers through DE by now and haven't any complaints. Do your work, study, and you can't go wrong. Very simple material and understandable content. The textbooks are written by Dr Martin himself and they are quite clear and thorough.

I took Sport Psychology via distance ed. Dr. Martin is a great professor and is extremely helpful, he replies to e-mails on a timely manner. Class consist of 4 assignments (textbook questions) worth 50% of your final mark and a 50% final.

Very helpful prof. Do all assignments and readings and it will be an easy A+. I found it to be an easy course.

PSYC 3660 has four assignments worth 50% and the final exam worth 50%. Although i took it as a GPA booster, i found i learned a lot, and enjoyed it! I would recommend this class to anyone. You need to really put in effort to learn the questions for the final exam. It is possible to get an A+, just work hard and you'll get the mark you deserve :)

Best prof ever! Marking is very fair, and expectations are reasonable. Everything is based on the textbook, so you do need to read all the assigned chapters.

This is the easiest class you can take. If you don't get an A or A+ you obviously put absolutely zero effort in.

Very easy. Assignments are marked very fairly. You definitely need to study for the final as there is no "wiggle room" if you don't know an answer. There's between only 12-16 questions on the final. I definitely suggest not procrastinating studying for the final since I went in with an A+ and only got a B+ in the course. Regret not studying earlier

Def a GPA booster, however, you do have to study for the final.

The course itself was straightforwarde and quite easy. Despite this, I still found that I learnt a fair amount. I also found the information to be useful and applicable to every day life.

Awesome course, awesome prof! Marking is awesome, just make sure to stay on top of things and you will get an A/A+! Class does require real work but just do it and you will succeed!

Solid course. 4 Assignments worth 50% which are derived from questions from the text. And a final worth 50% which uses questions from the textbook also. Garry's quick to reply to emails and he's very helpful if you need a hand. Would recommend this class to anyone looking to boost GPA and actually learn interesting content.

You have to do a lot of work for the class but it's worth it. Better than grades being based on midterms, 50% of your grade is based on questions from the text which are also what your final is based on. He's helpful and responds quickly.

Took Sports Psych and Behav Modification Principles with him at the same time on Distance Learning. He's a great prof, clearly explains everything wanted, classes are just textbook work and the class is an easy A+. The assignments don't take long and I finished them all in the first 2 weeks and studied the night before the exam and got A+s in both.

Straight forward course. Assignments are easy, but time consuming. 50% short-answer final, potential questions are given ahead of time and appear word for word on the exam. Marks assignments and exam easy. A+ is 95%, but is still attainable! Assignments and final exam questions are straight out of the textbook. I recommend this prof and course.

Very easy and interesting course. Assignments take some time to do. He is a very easy marker. Highly recommend taking all courses offered by Garry Martin!

Easy GPA booster, he clearly identifies everything that is expected in the course and the assignments are easy to complete and do well on. Study hard for the final and it should be an easy A+

Garry martin is really good. I am majoring in psych and looked for an online class to take and was told he was a good choice. He responds relatively quick, he is helpful, and is always a fair marker. He is very thorough when marking; but he is an excellent professor that will tell you exactly what is needed. 910 would recommend.

50% Assignments 50% final. Assignments are easy and straight forward, pretty easyfair marker, good prof but horrible to try and reach through email takes days+ to respond.

I have taken both B. Mod & Sport Psych with Prof. Martin. He assigns 4 assignments, and there is 1 final exam in which he gets you to study 135 questions, and tests you on about 13 of them. Both of the courses took some time doing the assignments, but they were overall great and easy.

Wonderful Prof! Even though this was an online class he was very helpful! The assignments are easy although time consuming. The final you have to study a lot of questions but at least you know what you are being tested on. Would definitely recommend taking any of his classes!

Very great professor, and excellent class!

I took bmod and sports psych at the same time, they required bare minimum throughout the semester in terms of work, but for the final you actually need to study if you're looking to getting an A or A+. There's 4 assignments and 1 final where you study 130 questions and 13 of them will appear on your final. Both classes are structured this way

Although assignments may be easy the final is tough. You need an 86% in the class to maintain an A so you have to do well (75-80) on the final. Gives you 200+ questions to memorize and only tested on 13 of them. An easy enough class if given ample opportunity to study for the final, assignments are easy to get 95+ on all of them.

a great prof that marks extremely fast, and fairly lenient on assignments. Assignments do take some time to do but everything is straight from the textbook which you can copy word by word. Final isn't hard but you do need to memorize all 140 questions only 13 was tested. I studied the night before and did well on the final, don't cram like me tho.

Assignments and test are very clear, put in the time and an A is easy. Emailed questions are answered very fast.

Extremely nice prof, who is always extremely quick to reply to questions. Assignments pretty easy, final is easy if you study ahead of time. Then there is no way you shouldn't get an A+. Excellent prof!

Easy course and straight forward guidelines. great prof who gives good feedback on assignments. Although final is 50% of your grade it's pretty easy. Put in a couple days of studying for the final and you will get the A/A+ you are looking for.

Great Class!!! Straightforward information. Very clear what to study, how to study. Great feedback on assignments. Nothing is ambiguous or vague. Everything is crystal clear which makes passing the class very possible if you apply yourself.

A straightforward online course, book was required, because there were 4 assignments and you have to read the book and get the questions from there too. You get the final exam questions from the book too, so I recommend answering those while you do the assignments. Do the assignments in advance and study in advance to memorize the exam questions.

Took 2440 & 2660 online at the same time. 4 assignments based on textbook questions. Only take a couple hours to complete, as answers are easy to find in text. Final exam requires a huge amount of memorization as you are given 140+ questions from the text that could possibly be on the exam, while only 12-15 of the questions are actually chosen.

This course is a definite GPA booster, as long as you do what is asked for the assignments, and memorize all the questions given in the textbook for the final exam, you are guaranteed an A/A+.

The class has 4 assignments that he allows you to copy and paste answers from his textbook (BUYING THE ONLINE TEXTBOOK MAKES THIS EASIER) with the exception of some questions that require your own example. The final exam requires a fair amount of of studying, but he gives you the potential questions prior to! Assigments: 50% & Exam 50%.

Great prof, definitely a GPA booster. Grade based on 3 assignments and a final. No online notes, all the material is based on the textbook. Assignments were clearly explained and do take time to complete, but answers can be taken straight from the text. Final is 12 questions long/short answer, and questions were from the text and/or assignments.

Took both Behaviour Modification and Sport Psyc with him, very easy class (both of them) 4 assignments and 1 final. Highly recommend taking any class with him. He's very straight forward as to what he expects on his assignments and his final exam uses questions directly from the textbook. As long as you actually study the text it's an easy A.

Awesome prof, interesting classes! The final takes a lot of studying but he gives you the exact material that you need to know. The class is very straight forward and that makes it easy to do well as long as you put in the work! I took sport psych and bmod at the same time!

He gives you 145 questions that you need to study for the final exam. Any one of those 145 questions are testable however only 13 are asked on the final exam. You need to study. Lot's of ppl laughing outside before the exam it was an easy A so they didn't study. Well I'm sure they did not do well. It is not an easy A without studying

It's a simple course, just put some efforts in assignments and reading and you're guaranteed an A or A+.

I got an A cramming all the exam questions in 24hrs before the exam. Finished the final in 15 minutes. The assignments were all done 24 hrs prior to due date. This is THE GPA booster.

He was very helpful, always emailed back right away. Textbook is 100% necessary otherwise you cannot do the course.

Dr. Martin is a great professor. The textbook used in this course is highly interesting and easy to read with a number of examples which make the material easy to understand. Out of all the university courses I have taken this is the only textbook which I will likely reread cover to cover. This course is also highly applicable to real life.

He is very friendly and diligent when it comes to grading, and the material is interesting. While I agree that the course is an easy A, there is VERY little leniency on getting A+, which sucks if you do everything else perfectly but mess up 2 final exam Qs. There are 150 possible test questions & 12 of them will make up 50% of your final grade.

It is not difficult to get 90%+ on his assignments. All marking criteria are very clear. Definitely recommend this prof

Took PSYC2440 and PSYC2660 with him! These classes are the best GPA boosters!! The assignments are clearly outlined, answers come straight from the textbook. 150 possible questions for the finals, and only 12 or 13 on the test, for both I crammed all the flashcards in 3 days before and ended up with an A+. He's very fast to answer as well!

one of the easiest A+ courses in uni. got 100% on all the assignments worth 50% of your grade and the other 50% is the final exam. just don't leave it until the last minute theres about 150 questions you'll need to have completely memorized to do well (textbook is mandatory)

Not much to tell as you'll never see him because it is online. He's at the final exam venue however, nice prof. Quick reply to emails, but beware of the final and learn your answers well in advance - don't cram the night before!

Assignments in this course are insanely easy, but be warned, the final is challenging (you have to memorize every single study question in the textbook) and worth 50% of your grade. Depending on your learning style it could be an easy A, but not if you're someone who struggles with memorization and reciting things verbatim from the textbook.

The course was quite easy and the assignments were word for word copying from a textbook. Since you are allowed to copy the answers it is quite easy to show up into the final exam with above 95% in the course. However, do not cram the final! As long as you study in advance for the final, you will be able to receive an A or A+.

I completed all assignments on the due date, and only studied for the final exam the day before. This was an easy course, but be ready for a lot of memorization.

AMAZING prof! Loved Behaviour Modification Principals!! Class was MORE than fairly graded. I learned a TON about behaviour modification, and it even helped me in my own life! Textbook was ENJOYABLE to read if you can believe it! One of the BEST classes I've taken!

4 assignments and 1 final. Easy A+ if you read the textbook. He was super quick at replies! Highly recommend!

This course could not be any more simple and easily laid out. The prof himself seems to be fine, never had to contact him much because the course is so self-explanatory.

Easy class, material is fairly interesting, but easy A+

Easy tests. Youre also given all the potential exam questions, so as long as you prepare them all youre guaranteed a good mark. 10/10

I took Sport Psychology and such a good class! Basically read the textbook and do the assignments and you'll do good in his class!

Garry is great prof, very easy to reach. His assignment not hard just read the book understand and answer the questrion easy A. 4 assignemnt + final.

Professor Garry Martin is amazing. Very kind and truly helpful. Read the text for an easy pass. Put the work in and leave with an A. Provides feedback for wrong answers. Quick with grading. Friendly and approachable. A gem.

Professor Garry Martin is awesome. Very kind and truly helpful. Read the text for an easy pass. Put the work in and leave with an A. Provides feedback for wrong answers. Quick with grading. Friendly and approachable. A great professor.

Literally read the textbook, copy and paste the answers for assignments and final exam (give different examples on them), and you'll get an A+. One of the best GPA boosters at the U of M

Very good prof - very concise with deadlines and very helpful
