It is safe to say that she is the second worst math professor at this school, after pulling good grades in Calc 1,2 and 3 she is able to make linear algebra a joke by placing so many terms in questions you dont know what she means (Im guessing its a way of her attempting to act smart).

Jeanette is an amazing math professor. Calculus II can be very hard, but she made it easy. The lectures were very useful so I would recommend going to class and taking notes. There are a lot of tests in this class, however I thought that they were all pretty simple. She gives you a lot of preparation material for each exam so that is nice :) 10/10

I've taken a few math professors and Martin was the only one that was able to deliver a lecture that could keep my attention. Also she is really clear with her explanations and gives lots of examples. She is also highly approachable with any questions or concerns.

Prof. Martin is the opposite of a slide show professor, she prepares tons of examples and gives relevant and perfect analogies. You won't fall asleep in this lecture.

So understanding, insightful on the material, very good at helping you understand the content, and makes difficult subjects easier. Jeanette is always prepared and has well-structured, efficient lectures. The tests can be killer, but that is just the nature of the class. I highly recommend taking all your math classes with Jeanette if possible.

She is a great professor. I personally didn't understand the examples well so I would watch youtube videos to understand the content (shout out organic chemistry tutor) . But Calc 1 with her wasn't difficult, just make sure to go to your lab to do the practice problems, do the learning catalytic, and the online homework.

Easiest professor I had all semester. Initially, she would often walk the class through examples to help us get started on the activity packet we had to work on that day. Then she would allow us work time for the entire period to complete it. She was always willing to help and was extremely friendly with every student. Take a class with Jeanette!

Jeanette is amazing. Don't get me wrong, she teaches hard classes so its no cake walk, but she makes it about as easy as possible. There were numerous times when I would walk out of class after a lecture with some other students and we would all talk about how awesome she was and how her lecture just made sense.

She was incredibly kind and understanding and always allowed a different testing time if you were unable to make it to the exam. There were a lot more tests/quizzes than my other classes but it just keeps you up to speed with what's happening. She is a good lecturer and breaks things down very well so its easy to understand.

She is the best math teacher I have ever had. I've always been very confused in math before her class but she makes things very easy to understand. At the end of the semester you will have a quiz every week, but it is just 1 or 2 questions and you will get a worksheet very similar to the quiz in your lab section at the beginning of the week.

Janette was awesome! Calculus is obviously hard to grasp but she made that course easier to understand and a little more fun. She is clearly passionate and is incredibly kind to students even if they asked silly questions. She was also really funny! I 100% recommend her!

Jeanette is my favorite math professor. She is passionate, kind, considerate, and wise. I am very fond of her many jokes during lectures or student hours. My favorite is her classic "user error," occurring when she attempts to point at the projected screen with her tablet in hand, but it leads to the screen turning 90 degrees. 100% recommended.

Professor Martin makes a tough course like Calculus II much more manageable. Lectures are engaging and she provides excellent support. Definitely utilize the free textbook and take advantage of the Math Learning Center - combined with Unstuck AI, these resources make this class very doable.

Attendance is mandatory in the sense that there are graded Learning Catalytics questions in 2/3 of the lectures. Jeanette is a great professor; you can tell she enjoys Calculus, and you'll learn a lot from her. She will answer your questions during the lectures, if you have any, and she explains things very well.

By far the best professor I have had at WSU. I was worried to take calc 2 because it was said to be a hard class however she was very good at teaching all the concepts and giving good exam prep. Would highly recommend for anyone taking any sort of math classes here.

Easy class if you have your algebra and trig fundamentals down. Attendance is required but does not significantly impact your grade. Lectures were simple compared to what is on tests on homework - so they were not always worth attending. The professor is okay but the quality of instruction is inferior to online math videos.

Jeanette is a very personable professor, and none of the lectures feel intimidating or too much to take in. I genuinely appreciate the fact that she's willing to laugh at her own mathematical mistakes in the lectures when they happen (tech also likes to play a factor, of course!), because I think it just creates a much more "adaptive" environment.
