Dr. Martin is a tough but fair professor. The class is challenging but not impossible. You will have to work hard and really put an effort into the course. She is extremely helpful and very willing to help students who want to learn.

I don't understand all of the neg. comments towards this class. Granted she is challenging & sometimes confusing in class, but she always willing to answer questions. Tests are tough, but doable. Use office hours religously and you'll get questions not addressed in class answered. Very interested in helping her students! The material is just d

Best Professor I've ever had. Set clear objectives and expectations. Always returned work promptly. Gave students every chance to succeed with extra credit and dropping lowest quiz scores. Tough material, well presented.

Great class. Very challenging tests, gives weekly quizzes, opportunities for extra credit. Provides a tremendous amount of material on her website. Extremely approachable and helpful.

chem lab was pretty straight forward... quiz each week on previous lab

jane is wonderful. the class is very challenging, but I learned soo much. i had to study about 6 hours per week to learn the material, but biochem is ncsry for the mcat and med school. i feel that i've learned something very valuable. if you PUT IN THE TIME, YOU WILL EARN A GOOD GRADE.. tells u what will be on every exam, its up to u to learn it

WARNING-THIS CLASS IS HARD! That said, Dr Martin is a very good teacher. She is obviously enamored with all things chemistry. This translates to difficult exams,quizzes and those painful in-class assignments. Secrets to Success? Study those notes, read book, and you MUST do ALL of the practice exams. Oh yeah, better hope your IQ is above 135 too.

Dr. Martin is a very good teacher. Yes, the class is hard, but its for future medical professionals! Do you really want your future doc half-*ssing their way thru biochem. She explains what she will test on very clearly and none of her questions ever snuck up on me. You have to do all the reading. She even gives you a TON of extra credit.

Doctor Martin is a very good teacher and she's very helpful. It's true that CHEM349 is very hard. You have to be ready to spend a lot of time studying for this class if you want to pass. I don't agree with the negative comments that other student wrote about Dr Martin; she's very good at teaching.

THIS WOMAN IS CRAZY, BUT FUN. SHE MAKES SURE THAT YOU HAVE FUN AND LEARN AT THE SAME TIME. IF YOU TAKE HER CLASS, I GAURANTEE THAT YOU WILL ENJOY IT.

Best English prof. ever! She is so enthusiastic and funny. I actually looked forward to attending her class. If you do all of the essays and go to class you will definitely get a good grade. TAKE THIS CLASS!

she is very fun and easy going. for a english teacher. she doesn't give that many essays. you guys should take her

I love this class. Jolie is the greatest english teacher that I have ever had. She does her best to make sure that you understand what is going on and she wants you to pass. Gives homework, but not too much homework. This class has helped me so much and it is never boring. Always enthusiastic and doing something crazy to keep you interested.

Jolie has a reputation of being hard and rough on students. But, in my point of view, the class was extremely helpful and easy. Although some may say she's crazy and hard, I say it would only be your brain that would not work on par with this professor. Loved writing the essays, wrote a 13 pg paper on civility and am proud. *hint hint Jolie

Jolie is an awesome teacher! She may seem a little strict, but she is actually pretty funny and very enthusiaistic. You learn so.. much in her class and its enjoyable at the same time. If you attend class it should be a piece of cake. One of my fave professors ever! I highly reccommend taking ENG with her!!!

She's very enthusiastic which made a 3 hour English class go by fairly quickly. Took the course in the summer and only had to write 2 essays - fairly easy and grades fairly. Does a lot of group/class discussions. Gives homework but not too much - also easy. I recommend her for English.

jolie is the best english teacher i have ever had. she does not trip you up in language like most other english professors. she is nice, and easy to get along with. show up to class and you will pass. even tho i did not pass with an A, i got more out my writing then ever before. she is gorgeous and fun to talk with, i would recommend this class!

She is a great teacher. She explains everything thoroughly. If you need help she's always there. She does fun community building activities every once in a while. She is a very easy teacher. If you do the work and show up on peer response days with the required material you'll definitely pass the class.

This is one of the best teachers ever at SFSU. I took her ENG 104 class and I got so much out of it. She makes sure that you understand exactly what she is talking about. She also grades on not only your work, but your improvement from assignment to assignment. She will help you as long as you ask for it and put forth the effort.

Dr. Martin was a great teacher. She knew her material, gave quizzes and problems that boosted points and retention, returned exams promptly and curved her grades. Yes, Biochem is a demanding upper division course. Yes, you are expected to show up, and actually study. No one is going to spoon feed you, suck it up and do your work and you will pass.

She was my first English professor at SF state so i didn't know what to expect. But her personality makes the class time fly by. She is very cool and grades fairly. Take her if you get the chance!

Jolie is a Great Professor. She is funny, energetic, and helpful. But warning to all those who are slackers, she is a very hard grader! But otherwise take her class you'll learn alot! BEWARE! DONT TURN IN LAST ESSAY LATE!! SHE WILL NOT ACCEPT IT EVEN IF ITs ONE MINUTE LATE!!!

She was an awesome teacher. I learned alot from here. She is very helpful and wants to see you improve in her class. Her grading is fair and the comments she gives back on your essays help you to improve upon your next essay. Overall, LOVED her class with her high enthusiastic bubbly energy. You will never be bored. I highly recommend her :D

learned lots.. good essay writing instructor. good workload but manageable. I would most definitely recommend taking jolie for any english class she is teaching. She is very enthusiastic, and truly cares about her students.

This teacher is Amazing! i had poor attendance which lowered my grade. She told me 1 day i was getting a W from her class cuz of attendance. I emailed her same day thanking her for what she taught us & immediately she emailed me back telling me that if i keep showing up to her class that she would pass me on to the next class. I kept going and get

she is made the first day alot of fun. she is a little jumpy but it kept me awake at 8am.

PRof Martin is a great teacher. Sure she's hard but you really do learn a lot in this class. Very helpful in assisting students to understand the material. An easy grade is not possible without work well worth taking if you really want to learn Chem

Besides for the fact that she's really hot, she's also a really good teacher.

This class was pretty good. I liked that this professor puts in a lot of effort for the class. She also gives very good feedback on your essays which helped a lot. Overall good teacher.

I had Jolie for English 104+105 I love this teacher. She jokes and jumps around. She is very helpful. Even though she grade hard on essays she still is a very good teacher. On her essays i mostly got A's and B's. I got on one C on my essay. Jolie cool you should take her class.

Dr. Martin's chem class is tough but you can get a good grade if you do the homework, go to EVERY class, take notes, go to office hours, and study a lot before the class. I was skeptical before going in b/c of all the bad ratings, but you can do it if you put the work in...If you go into office hours concepts will become a lot clearer.

after reading the comments on here about prof martin, i was scared to take this class, half way in and i am actually doing pretty well. this class isn't as hard as everyone says it is if you just keep up with everything. i was never interested in chem, until i took this class

i learned a lot in this class

This class isn't is hard as people say it is, it's actually pretty manageable if you just pay attention. Just pay attention to her lectures and read her notes to study and you will do fine. I didn't really have to read the book, but it would help. I wouldn't recommend this class as GE, just take it if it's mandatory for your major.

Jolie's class is awesome. prior to this class, i hadn't really had that many great english teachers, but i'm glad she whipped me into shape. you won't be bored, the material is interesting. Beware, she's a hard grader and you can't just float by in this class. but put the effort forth and you'll realize she really cares about every single student.

Awesome teacher. She gives lively lectures and will improve your skills for writing essays. She is only a tough grader if you don't follow her guidelines for the essay; as long as you follow her rubrics, you'll get an A. Jolie is also quite the character, even though my class was the dullest group of kids at sfsu she kept the material interesting.

There were 4 essays, 1 revision essay of the 4 essays, lenient attendance, must bring class reading materials (short stories or book). There is no quiz, no test (practice jepet for final), & not alot of hw. She is: an easy grader if you have good organization in your essays, h.s. teacher, & animated. SHE GIVES PUSH BACKS ON DUE DATES OF ESSAYS.

Great teacher to have early in the morning. 6 essays in total, including the final (JEPET). Must pass essay 3 and 4 to pass the class. Attendance can affect your grade, so attend class! Bring materials to class, there are no quizzes or tests, just essays. She accepts one late essay, and she can help you with your essay if you're stuck.

I really enjoyed her grading & teaching styles. I suggest do not take her class w/out a prior background of chem. Def not an easy class w/out a chem background. She gives out LOTS of extra cred, curves everything, and HW,quiz, & tests are all very straight forward! Lots of grades, so lots of chances to catch up. Difficult if youre not good at chem

Very cool teacher, you definitely gonna take her for your ENG 114 class. There aren't many assignments, just a couple of essays in the whole semester. And, she lets you revises one/two of them for a higher grade.

Loved her..not so much the class but she is super nice and always will help you with your papers. can have meetings and she will pretty much tell you what you need to have exactly on the papers. Super cool teacher but not super easy class

This teacher is extremely hard, you need to follow her prompt from her syllabus exactly or you will end up failing. She seems to favor students and grades extremely hard. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but unless you are on her good side you will FAIL. The essay's are taught based on her opinion, your opinion doesn't mean**** in this class.

If you don't follow the rubrics exactly, you WILL NOT PASS. However she's extremely helpful, and requires a grading conference to go over essays with you. In short, listen to her instructions and follow her directions and you'll be fine.
