Very easy class. I expected it to be very difficult but as long as you show up and take notes it is exceptionally easy.

This class is relatively easy. You are graded on your attendance and scripture study, so make sure to do both! She really clarifies a lot of confusing doctrine. She is kind enough to test on what we actually talked about in class, not just what was on the syllabus. That was great.

I love Dr. Martin!! She seems to care about her students. I love the direction that she takes her lectures and explores new things about the gospel that you might not have thought about before. A few assignments here and there but nothing too hard. The tests actually cover what she teaches in class.

Sister Martin is an amazing teacher! She teaches the concepts rather than the storyline. Classes are discussion based and rely on the concepts on the chapter and different prophet quotes that she has. Because class is once a week reading is extensive but the class is amazing! I highly recommend it to those truly interested in the gospel.

Professor Martin is wonderful! But this is not an easy A. If you get an A, you earned it by attending class, taking good notes, having quality DAILY scripture study and following the instructions for assignments PRECISELY. It's all laid out though, so look at the syllabus and if you don't think you can do it, then don't. I learned SO MUCH.

I love Dr. Martin. Seriously, she is so amazing you walk away from class having something new or a new perspective about the gospel. She knows her stuff and is super spiritual. Only 5 two page assignments. Reading and attendance is your grade. Come to class. Read EVERY NIGHT. Read the quotes for the tests. And you will get an A!!

I love Sister Martin. She is so qwerky and I love her personality. I felt the Spirit countless times in her class and she is there for her students. However, I actively participated and met with her outside of class and she never knew my name. Also, be prepared to memorize A LOT of quotes and random church history facts. No study guides either

lectures are super spiritual, and tests are open scripture(easy). you do have to write a few two page papers on a scripture you read, and how you applied it, but overall its super easy. she is super nit picky on the formatting though. I had Merrill the semester previous, and this class was WAY easier. I got A's in both, but tests were so mucheasier

I absolutely loved Sis. Martin and her lessons. Classes didn't feel like lectures. Taught concepts instead of storyline but always made sure you understood the storyline and how it fit in. She knew all the students by name. If you needed help you could go in after class and she was more than willing to assist and help. Loved her. Would take 2.

Dr. Martin is an excellent professor. She teaches the doctrine really well but also makes her lectures spiritual and fun to attend. There were no midterms and no final, but she had us write a research paper and do some other assignments that were graded pretty hard. Overall though, great course, great professor.

Doctor Martin is an amazing teacher! She does not give tests, instead there are a couple long papers. But if you do not procrastinate them then you will be fine with them. She really wants her students to understand the material and her lectures are amazing. She knows what she is talking about and encourages class participation. Take her class!

I LOVED sister Martin's class. This class is not really focus on the details on the Book of Mormon but the doctrines. Most of times I learned the doctrines I never knew were there. I learned A LOT. So there is no mid-term& final test. 2 essays. You choose your essay topics. Not a hard class if you are willing to work.

Dr. Martin gives excellent lectures BUT she is an extremely harsh grader on the paper and both projects. She expects students to know as much as her on Gospel topics when writing the paper, and she grades like its a writing class. If you want an A you have to blow her out of the water with your Gospel knowledge and research.

Dr. Martin is a great teacher! She encourages participation and her lectures/discussions are really great! I could really feel the Spirit in that class a lot. There are no tests, which is nice, but there are papers instead. Those are difficult to do well on but be descriptive and clear and you'll be fine. Also, you MUST do your scripture study!

She is willing to help and answer questions. Her lectures are good but usually drag out. She pounds application on you rather than just teaching doctrine and letting you decide what you're going to do with it. A lot of work for a 100 level class and only two credits, but you will learn some cool stuff.

Fabulous. She knows her stuff and cares about every student.

I love love love Sister Martin. She doesn't give too much work, but expects you to read everyday and come to class. She doesn't even give tests, she has two papers and a final project. Pretty easy, but I learned so much at the same time. BEST TEACHER.

Thirty minutes reading daily. About two papers and a major, two week project. (I spent about thirty minutes a day on that project.) Very inspirational lectures; she focuses mainly on doctrine and its personal application, making for a fresh religion class.

Absolutely loved class with her. You need to be totally responsible for your own action but my goodness you get so much from the class! I love the woman! SH knows the doctrine of Christ so well and teaches it clearly. She is direct and respects her students seen if they disagree with her. Very powerful teacher and worked one-on-one with me! 3

Probably one of the most insightful and instructive classes I've ever had. She REALLY knows what she's talking about and really does a good job of applying the scriptures to our lives. Super insightful and very accessible. Has two major projects but no tests. Ten out of ten, would take again if I could.

Sister Martin was a real treat! There are a lot of interesting, open discussions about the material and she really knows her stuff! Super nice and compassionate. The few papers we did have were easy and very subjective and you can gain a lot from them! I am taking another class from her next semester if that says anything.

Loved Sister Martin. No tests, just two big projects and reading your scriptures everyday. The final is a poster board project that details a past project. You are graded on attendance. Very inspiring class, she knows her stuff and is very respectful to comments. Highly recommend taking from her!!

She is the best! One of my favorite classes, always very aware of what students need and willing to go out of the way to help individuals. Just be sure that you read the syllabus carefully because her grading scale is different.

I loved Sister Martin's classes, they were the highlight of my week! She really knows her doctrine and taught in such a way that you could understand it and feel inspired. There are no tests, but it's on you to do the reading otherwise that will greatly damage your grade. She is a tough grader, which was frustrating, but the lectures are worth it.

Every time I go into Dr. Martin's class, I am uplifted. She has amazing insights and a great way of teaching. She doesn't get too involved with how you should study your scriptures, just that you need to be studying which I loved. She doesn't have exams, just projects that invite you to live the Gospel more precisely which is another thing I loved.

Very interesting lectures. No final exam but big activity. Daily Scripture reading for 30 min and attendance are required.

I absolutely loved taking Book of Mormon with Professor Martin! She goes out of her way to learn your name and make you feel included in the lecture. Her discussions are thought provoking and she is always willing to help you outside of class. The main grades are attendance, reading and writing. Do the work (it's not that hard) and you will pass!

Professor Martin is exactly how a religion teacher should be. Show up to class, do a self-change project, and read your scriptures everyday and you will get an A! She has no tests and the purpose of class is for personal growth. At the beginning of the semester she asks what you want to learn and then incorporates that information into her lessons.

I liked how the class was set up. There is no midterm or final, and there aren't any tests, all the information she presents is applicable to daily life, so that's her focus of the class. If you don't want to read your scriptures for 30 minutes a day, though, don't take this class, it's a huge part of the final grade. No grade curving or ex credit

Sister Martin is awesome! I don't know why there are so many negatives scores on here! I have taken two classes from her and both were awesome! This is exactly what a religion class should be! all you have to do is study every day for 30 min (its a big part of your grade), write 2 easy papers, and a change poster instead of a final. Seriously great

I've taken ALL of Sister Martin's classes and gotten an A in all of them. Almost all of your points come from attendance and scripture study, which you keep track of. No tests. The final wasn't a test, we just analyzed other people's projects. There are a few projects, but she outlines exactly how to get an A

I loved Sister Martin. She grades your papers and projects pretty hard. But I felt the spirit every class and learned a lot about the Savior, but also about myself. I would definitely recommend Sister Martin every time. She doesn't have a single test or quiz.

Dr. Martin almost seems overqualified to teach a Book of Mormon class. She is incredibly educated and I loved getting to see the scriptures from an actual historian's perspective. No test, just projects that are very doable. Take this class!

I have never felt more cared for by a Professor. Sister Martin is an absolute blessing and truly cares about her students. She takes the time to know your name. There's one big paper and a couple projects. She's extremely clear about her expectations and will take the time to help you so utilize it! Her classes are spiritually uplifting too.

Dr. Martin was a very kind teacher. She clearly cared for her students. There was no tests at all!! However, you are meticulously graded on papers and projects. If you are one that does not test very well, then I would highly recommend her!

Dr. Martin is a very nice person and takes the time to get to know her students. She is a tough grader and makes it difficult to get high scores on her assignments. She doesn't have any tests, but her assignments take longer than studying for a test would and your scores are usually lower.

TAKE THIS CLASS! No tests, just 3 projects and a simple paper. Follow her grading criteria exactly and read your BOM every night and you will get an A. Lectures are phenomenal - she explains things that are typically very confusing in such a simple manner and takes the time to learn your names & caters lessons to what the class has questions about.

I loved her class. The homework was never busy work and really helped me spiritually. She gave amazing lectures and really invited the spirit. She is an interesting, well-educated person and had great insights.

I absolutely LOVED Dr. Martin. he doesn't do tests, so if you do not do well in the testing center and enjoy personal application projects, her class is seriously the best. She is VERY specific about what she wants and is always open to talk about any questions you have on assignments. Doing scripture study every day counts for half of your grade!

Honestly, Sister Martin is absolutely amazing. When I took the class, she didn't give us tests, but instead had us work on projects that would help us individually. Her class changed me so much and got me into the habit of scripture study. So inspirational, and I felt like it was easy to get an A.

Sister Martin was the sweetest! She really cares about her students and is always asking if she needs to clarify anything. If you aren't the best test taker, this class is for you. You have a few papers and larger projects that replace traditional tests. Half of your grade is just reading your BoM daily. Attendance is big too, you shouldn't skip.

Dr. Martin is one of the most caring professors I've met! She makes sure to get know the names of all her students and talks to each of them, and ties in principles to our lives in meaningful ways. There are no tests, but 3 or 4 projects that require a LOT of work. Clear grading criteria though, so if you follow that, you'll be fine!

Second time taking a class from Professor Martin because her lectures are actually valuable, but this time I felt cared for. Her class is hard, requiring reading for 30 mins EVERY day as a HUGE part of your grade. She comes off as rigid and strict when it comes to grades, but I came to learn she is really accommodating if you are having trouble.

Sister Martin is truly aware of her students and takes great care to give them the help and advice that they need. There is a lot of writing and scripture study involved in this class, but there are no tests. Work hard and do well on the projects, and you will have a very positive experience.

Prof Martin is incredibly meticulous in everything she does -- from the clarity of her grading criteria to the care she takes in remembering your name. However, this class requires a heck ton of effort and definitely encourages active, daily repentance. I would not take it if I were looking for an easy A, but I would do it again to be changed!

SHE IS THE BEST RELIGION PROFESSOR EVER. I love Sister Martin. No tests, which is amazing. She cares about enhancing your spirituality more than quizzing you on obscure topics.

Sister Martin is the best professor ever. She provides such good insight into the Book of Mormon and provides you with such good study tips for becoming a good scriptorian. She cares about all her students and does not just preach to you but makes the room have such a good spirit. I've learned how to actually read and learn from the scriptures.

She is really awesome. No tests and only a couple assignments, but those aren't too bad. Most of the grade comes from your scripture reading and attendance. You definitely can't skip class. I liked her course enough that I referred all of my friends and a bunch of us took New Testament from her as well. Everyone had a great experience.

Great professor, really knows the scriptures and is awesome at not grading on random historical details or other insignificant topics. Really focuses on personal testimony growth. Be ready for a few heavy projects, but she is always more than generous with the time-frame allotted for each project, so they are more than doable.

Dr. Martin was a great teacher that I want to take again with her New Testament Class. She is great at explaining the doctrine and the different concepts within the Book of Mormon class. She does assign two projects over the course of the semester which isn't bad if you start early. You need to read the BoM every day for 30 min (no surprises here).

As far as a religion class goes this class was pretty good. Dr. Martin is very knowledgeable and class is interesting. She is a pretty strict grader, even with the rubric you'll get points knocked off just about everything. The projects are pretty labor intensive, but it's not too bad. I would definitely recommend taking from Dr. Martin.

Honestly, this professor and this class are SO GOOD, but there are ridiculous amounts of homework. The class consists of two projects and a written final, but the project takes so amazingly long to complete. Even though I love the class it is not worth taking. The amount of work for the outcome is unbelievable. DO NOT TAKE IT!

I took Tchgs and Doctrine of Book of Mormon from Sister Martin during the summer, and it ended up being my favorite class of the term! I learned so much and felt the Spirit everyday. Daily scripture study. No midterms or exams, just papers/projects. Very specific guidelines, but if you don't procrastinate, they're very doable. Definitely recommend!

I really enjoyed Dr. Martin's teaching style. She made an effort to engage with us before class. Her lectures present fascinating information and it's obvious that she loves what she teaches. Her grading is very particular, so read all the fine print. She expects you to show up for the class and the work attached with it.

Dr. Martin is an amazing professor. I enjoyed her class and always left feeling enlightened. She gave insight into the possible culture of the Nephites. There are two projects instead of midterms and one written final. As long as you participate in class and don't procrastinate, they won't be too hard.

Dr. Martin is a knowledgeable, relatable, and open-minded teacher. She really knows her stuff, and I learned something new in every single class. She truly promotes a great learning environment where everyone feels comfortable to share. Her assignments are also awesome and helped me improve my habits.

I was originally scared to take this class, because of the reviews on Rate my Professor, but I am so glad I did. The classes were well structured and engaging. Professor Martin can come across as harsh, but it is obvious she cares about the success of her students. If you stay on top of the assignments and do the extra credit it is an easy A.

I enjoyed my class with Prof. Martin. She grades pretty harshly on the papers, so give yourself lots of time to write, and edit them. But, she has extra credit opportunities and wants you to get a good grade. I found it so interesting how much knowledge of the BOM she has and I learned a lot. I felt the spirit the entire time in her classroom.

Dr. Martin was a really good professor. She makes everyone feel heard. There were 2 papers you need to write that take some time but she gives you extra credit opportunities. The only down side (if you can even call it a downside) is no technology in class. But her lectures were really good.

I would definitely take a course from Professor Martin again. Each class felt like stepping into a piece of heaven. She shares personal experiences and teaches with the spirit. Many times her lectures are led to different topics based on student needs. I absolutely loved her.

This class was SO much more than glorified seminary. There is a great balance between discussing historical context and personal application and I felt edified in both. She tailors her lectures to student needs and welcomes questions. She is particular about how assignments are done but as long as you follow her clear instructions it's fine

I took REL A 275 from Dr. Martin and it's been amazing for the most part. I love coming to class and how she structures her lessons off of what her students want to learn. She always answers questions and she knows sooo much about the scriptures and doctrine and everything. She has answered some questions that I've had for years.

Dr. Martin was great! She knows SO much about the New Testament.

Doctor Martin is amazing. I did not have a testimony of the Book of Mormon before taking her class, and now I absolutely do. The projects are long and a bit difficult, but it is worth it because her lectures are so well done. Please take this class.

Took her BOM Doctrine class in the spring and the workload was relatively easy and small for being during the spring, but reasonable for a 2 credit class. She is very insightful and detailed in her lectures and genuinely cares about our success and that we're understanding everything. She's also very knowledgeable and can answer any question.

AMAZING class but when she says you have a month to do an assignment, do the assignment.

Dr. Martin was such a great professor! I always looked forward to going to her classes. Though you have 30 minutes of scripture study a day that you have to log, which can be time-consuming, it also made me study the scriptures more, which was nice. The projects also took forever, but unlike other people, I actually liked the repentance project.

Prof. Martin's class was challenging but rewarding. While strict on assignments, she welcomes questions and tailors lectures to student needs. I found unstuck AI and the textbook helpful for study prep. Overall, an engaging class that deepened my understanding.

Professor Martin gives her all and is kind and respectful. She has high expectations and high love. She was my UNIV 101 professor, and I highly respect her and would take a class from her again.

This class really isn't that bad. You choose the topic for the Repentance Project, so it's as invasive as you choose it to be. Your grade is dependent mostly on two mid-term projects that are lots of work, but otherwise the workload is very light. Just follow the instructions! The lectures can be cool, but Dr. Martin definitely isn't for everyone.

If you come to class, study your scriptures and do the assignments, getting an A is easy. If you slack she is unforgiving. The class material was fascinating and engaging.
