She is a great teacher. She will explain any problem you ask her to. She'll help you after class if you're still not getting the concept. She gives too many opportunities to turn in homework.

Professor Martinez is sweet and caring. Her lectures are heavy; don't be afraid, she will answer all of your questions, or have you meet with her during her office hours. She wants all of her students to succeed. She also has lectures online to help you, but does not replace her class lectures. She also gives you opportunities for extra credit.

I took her class online. You have to pay for access to MyMathLab and the online textbook. There is homework and a quiz every week along with discussions and projects. The on campus final is worth 40% of your grade and you MUST get a 50% or above or you automatically fail the class. Study and do your homework and you will pass.

Martinez really helps everyone. like everyone. If you fail an exam she gives you extra points like 5 or 10 just to show up to the tutoring center and get help, and get sign by any ASAP Tutuor. Alot of Homework. Textbook is required. I taken her 5 Exams, which if you one fail. SHE will remove two. Also open notebook quiz (From the textbook).

Professor Martinez is the best math teacher. Her teaching style is amazing, I aced every quiz, test, and even the final. Her weekly quiz is the exact question from the book, and she gives you a study guide for each test and the test questions are very very similar to the books. Daily homework is online. Pay attention and study and you will pass.

Professor Martinez does not teach well during physical class. Some students interrupt her during lecture, ask questions that derails the class, and taught straight from the book. The course was transferred online; she posted lecture videos, and she did great. She continued to teach straight from the book but she explained on the material.

The one thing I didn't really like about the class were the true and false questions that were planted at the beginning of each exam. There are weekly quizzes and homeworks, tests are from homework problems. Its a subject that you got to put time into learning. She's super cool and very reasonable if you miss a homework or anything, she allows redo

at first she was a great teacher then the material started getting harder and she became lazy. the class in total would have about 5 questions about the homework that we did and she just says oh i only feel like doing 2. she is not helpful and she talks over you when you have a question. exams are easy but you might as well teach yourself.

Take her if you like a messy, sloppy, and unorganized class. She can NEVER finish class on time, always goes over her time, is always 45min late for office hours and thinks students have to work on her time. Even after complaining about her lack of consistency, she is still the same. Get ready for a chaotic semester. Good luck!

Best math professor I've ever seen. She cares a lot about her students and never made calculus hard. Gives a lot of extra credit, group work, and grades very fairly. Tests and quizzes are similar to the homework questions. The only issue was that she gave a lot of homework and the video notes did not help at all. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended her!

Professor Martinez is the best. I gave birth to my first baby mid-semester & still passed with an A. She accepts late work but you just get points taken off. Just do the video notes and copy the video, simple! You have homework 4 nights a week with a max of 12 questions. And if you needed help, just ask her during class and she explains well.

She is incredibly sweet, but she gets carried away (distracted) with her calculator, or just anything in general, which is a pro and a con. She can spend 1 hour to type 1+1, or 1 hour trying to answer a student's question. She does not get straight to the point, and uses lots of filler language. If you like to read long books, you'll love her.

Sweet lady, but here's the trick: She isn't teaching you; she is reviewing with you. You must purchase an $80+ program, which is ONLY for homework. Notes that are due before class, class activity, up to 24 math questions for homework, and four exams. She uses a mix of her partner's video notes and hers to show how a formula is used. Best luck
