Josh is a great teacher. He obviously loves math and is really good. He is very clear and makes sure you completely understand what he has just explained. His h.w. is very few questions, but you have a quiz every week from a few of the h.w. questions from each of the 2 sections. I really liked him and so will you. He is quite entertaining as well.
He's an awesome teacher! He's very patient and is always willing to help! I would recommend taking any math class that he teaches!
this guy is hilarious...quizes every week but takes it right from the homework very easy....very willing to help this guy is awsome
Makes you laugh and explains the math awesome
This guy is an excellent teacher. He is very willing to help and do everything he can to make sure you understand. There is a quiz every week, but it comes right out of the homework. He is also funny and hot!
martin is a fabulous teacher. young and laid back. loves math! 13 quizzes but they are from the hw he assigns. 3 test throughout the semester. always willing to help out his students. very easy class. dont pass on this professor!!!
this teacher is the best math teacher u can take in this school hes funny easy going and xtreamly helpful..hes funny and will always make time for his students to help..you should deffentely take any of his classes..cuz its hard to find one like him!!!!
He's great! out going and so nerdy! haha! but you gotta love him! he teaches well and makes you understand and patient! take him! you will not waste your time or money!
Excellent math teacher! Extremely helpful! He explains everything clearly, and does examples that really help the students understand the lecture. Overall, it's an easy class with an great instructor! Highly recommended!
He makes math fun and keeps you entertained where most professors wouldn't. He also responds to emails same day, meets with you whenever it's scheduled, and even did exam study groups on Friday night for those of us that work. He is funny and interesting. All in all, I would definitely take his class again.
I will miss this professor after summer class ends! he's my favorite for the past two semester...if you're bad in math...he'll help you understand and he's just great all around...like everyone said...funny...nice..and hot! haha!
He is an AMAZING teacher! he enjoys what he does and puts effort into making sure it is taught properly to any student. Anyone can take his class and just be productive study and d homework will be FINE!
Josh was an amazing teacher for math! He breaks everything down and does examples to show you each kinda problem. The homework is all on mymathlab and you will have a quiz every thursday in class. Not bad they are just based on the material you learned. Great teacher i recommend him to anyone who needs math 126!!!
Josh is one of the best Math professors at CSN. He explains each concept so that everyone understands, goes over numerous examples & is a funny guy. You have a quiz every Thursday, 2 tests & a final. They aren't too hard as long as you study. He is willing to help if you ask. Oh and if you are a visual learner he uses different colors on the board.
Josh Martin is a very good math teacher. He will go out of his way to help you understand the matterial. If you need to be absent for a test or quiz he will prearrange for you to take it in the testing center. Math 126 covers a lot of subject matter and moves very fast, do not get behind or your grade will suffer.
I enjoyed this class a lot. He is really funny and connects well with college students. Very sarcastic, so hopefully you aren't too sensitive. I have learned more in this Math class than all others combined; definitely recommend.
Very easy to pass. His lectures are very organized you will not get lost. No textbook, all homework turned in online through "My Math Lab." "quizzes" every Monday which are only 2 questions like the homework assigned that week to make sure you know what you're doing. 4 tests; if you've been in class and took notes you should have no problem passing
He has been one of thE most helpfull teachers/professors I have EVER had. I have never been good at math, but force myself to understand and when I didnt understand he was ALWAYS there to help. His grading is VERy generous, and he's good peoplez. Deff recommend!!
I find the class pretty easy, if you attend the classes. HW done on MyMathLab, answers e-mails quickly.
He will most likely be the best teacher you will take in college. He is a young guy, about 27 years, and he is amazing at math. The only hard part of the class is the exams because there is a lot of material to be learned in 128, so one exam covers many different sections. He is very clear and very organized. If you fail, you honestly deserve too.
Was the best math teacher I have ever had; funny, helpful, and cute. Knows his stuff and knows how to properly teach others. Wish I could have him as my next math teacher.
Nice guy, HORRIBLE Teacher. A teacher's job consists of 2 parts. Explaining a concept and answering questions about that concept. He doesn't do either very well. He makes huge jumps in logic that you are supposed to follow. Its easy for him, but not for 1st time students new to the subject.
Mr. Martin is one of the best Math teachers in Las Vegas. He is very smart and breaks down difficult concepts and makes them easy to understand. He is willing to help and he really cares about his students. He is young and will do anything to help you!! Take him he is great!!
Fantastic Deeba Naqshband
Man this guy is very outgoing. I was really struggling in math and he would go out of his way to help me especially when I visited him during his office hours. Josh is cool. If I every take 181, it's going to be with him. lol
Very nice guy. He will explain everything you don't understand. It's just this semester he changed his standards.On-line homework should be 90+% in order to take the quiz.A lot of questions to answer. Kinda challenging if you need to spend some time on other courses, and it will make you frustrated to keep up. But other than that he is awesome!
OMG JUST TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE MATH BECAUSE OF HIM.The professor explains everything sooooooooooooo clearly that I have friends from all ages and we all agree he has just A SPECIAL SOMETHING TO MAKE MATH ALL MATH SEEM LIKE 1+1 I SWEAR!
The best math professor & he's cute! I had him for 126 & got incredibly lucky to take his 181 class! I would have never understood calculus or even passed this class if it wasn't for him! He is extremely helpful & sets aside so many opportunities for everyone to meet him at his office or tutoring lab for help.
He's really good at explaining things and doesn't get mad when you go for him for help like some profesors. Do the homework, sample exams, and study!!!!! and you will pass. Also makes class fun, makes you actually want to learn.
TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!He's the BEST math teacher ever, hes kind funny and answeres any question u may have. Its so hard to find a good math teacher and by FAR HES THE BEST !!!im not so good in math and after taking his class i loved it! TAKE IS CLASS....:)
Mr. Martin is a great teacher. He is very smart and conveys his lessons well.
If you want to get an A, you have to go to class and do the work (unless you're a genius). But this is the most patient, helpful, and dedicated math professor I have EVER had! Math is hard for me but he is very available and absolutely willing to help in ANY way he can. TAKE HIM!!

I hated math before taking his class, but after its not so much because he is really good at explaing the material.
Amazing teacher, one of the best I've ever had
Josh is such an amazing professor. His method of teaching has made it SO much easier for me to learn & comprehend the material. Since I liked him so much I decided to enroll in Math 96 with him:) Very knowledgeable professor! Definitely recommend! I passed the class with a high A.
Great Teacher. Very knowledgeable and approachable.
Great teacher! Lots of work but helps you to succeed!
Josh is the best math professor you can ever ask for! He is funny, really chill, and also very helpful. He even tutors you if you go to his office and ask for help! I highly recommend taking his courses.
Probably one of the best math teachers I've ever had. Has a very straight-forward and practical way of explaining things. Let's you know exactly what kind of problems will be highlighted on his tests. Makes class fun and doesn't concentrate on minutia. I'm disappointed I couldn't get him for 127.
Simply Funny
The best professor you can ask for in math division; Josh is very clear, helpful, patient, and straight forward.
Nice guy (and cute!) and definitely makes himself available for extra help. You get out what you put in; not as easy as when i had him for 127. Definitely have to do the homework assignments in order to do well on the 12 quizzes given every other week on top of mid-term and Final. Makes you earn that A for sure!
I regret to state that I would take anyone else if I could go back in time. Though it sounds bad, you'll see why. May be a nice guy, but lacks a clear and informative lecture. This is a critical class and needs to be taught well. He lacks the experience at this level. Sorry Mr. Martin
Josh was a cool professor! He was super clear on his lectures and he answer any questions you may have. The math may not be easy for some, but Josh will help you if you have any difficulty. I highly recommend him!!
Good teacher, upright character; knows his stuff. Swing by his office and the guy helps you out until you understand it. At this “level”, students ought to be anticipating the difficulty. Should have gone to every class for that A, nonetheless, I recommend.
Best Professor ever, helps out a lot and quizzes / exams are similar to the homework he assigns. Highly recommend him.
Awesome professor, explains everything for laymens. Tests are difficult, but still one of the best at CSN!
Very good instructor. Clear, Helpful... learned a lot! Very good experience. Tests are worth a lot, but the course is set for success and learning to make it a challenge.
Josh makes math very simple and crystal clear. Lectures are easy, but exams are hard (have to think outside the box), because he wants you to actually understand the concept, not just do the material like a robot.
Great teacher! Covers material well & patiently answers questions when anyone is confused. Good sense of humor too. Definitely tries to help students succeed with his grading system and good study guides for exams.
Easy class and clear professor, I recommend that you don't buy the book, there are plenty of other resources available.Need to attend class for quizzes every week, but no attendance policy.
I LOVE HIM!!!!! He is helpful & keeps things simple.
Great teacher. Tests are tricky if you do t study and put time into class. Study guides are way harder than tests.
Professor Martin was brutal in his exams! Do not believe what every one is saying!!! It is a trap! However, he was very helpful :-)
Probably one of the best teachers I've ever had. Not an easy A but he definitely tries his best to help you succeed. His tests are tricky but he usually finds ways to give you points for things that you demonstrated your knowledge in. I would highly recommend taking his class if you need to take any math classes that he teaches.
All I can say is do not take Joshua Martins class if you are an average student in math. He does not collect homework so you only have exams and weekly quizzes for grades. His exams are mostly multiple choice and are very tricky. Although he is a smart man he can come off as arrogant and intimidating. If you like math take him. Its a challenge!
Professor Joshua is an amazing professor..He always wants to help his student to success. He is extremely kind and nice professor. He will answer any question that you are confuse. He will spend all his time to help you too.! highly recommend him..I really enjoyed his class.
Josh is the best math professor I've ever had.I took his online class thinking that it's impossible to learn trigonometry online.But with Josh it was just amazing!He uploaded his in-class lectures and they were very clear and helpful.I never used a book.It is a lot of work(2 exams worth 80% of the grade),but if you want to know math, take him.
Professor Joshua is an amazing .I really enjoyed his class..he is very kind person and always there to help you..Math is not easy.His video lectures is very useful, I have never used the book. Also, he gives you so many good resources.I will take Math 181 his class next semester too. Highly recommended.! Take him if you want to good at math.!
Professor josh is amazing. I like his teaching method.
Really knows he's stuff!
Josh over the semesters has seemed to hit a funk, yet he's always around to help his students in a bind. He doesn't help much outside his office hours anymore. Lectures are in laymen and very clear. I put myself out to take all his classes, he orchestrates his lectures so that he creates a comforting learning atmosphere for the math-frightened.
Josh is very kind, patient, and intelligent! Makes hard concepts easy, won't assign extra work. Lectures can be long, but aren't painful. Always there for questions, drops worst quiz grade, and adds humor to lectures. Would take him for every math class, hands down the best teacher in my college career. Was scared of pre-calc, Josh made it fun!
This man knows his stuff. No doubt about that. Homework is not mandatory, which is hood and bad. Good, because he assigns 1 million problems per section. Bad because you don't do it because its not mandatory. As I'm typing this I'm waiting to see if I passed. Needed 46% on final to pass and don't think I got it. Tests are VERY VERY HARD.
awesome, clear, and funny
Very easy class. Most of the teaching is done online and can be done at your own pace. Homework section is only practice. Practice tests, tests, and exams are the only things graded. Even better since we are given 3 attempts on tests to correct our mistakes. Showing up in person is optional for when you need better understanding of the material.
Josh Martin is a Calculus Demi-God. His theoretical conjectures are rivaled only by Issac Newton, Gottfried Leibniz and Bernhard Riemann themselves . His tests are hard but will leave you very prepared for calculus 2. Great teacher.
This professor is AWESOME. you have homework but without it, you won't understand the quiz, nor will you be able to take it. He explains so clearly, and is happy to explain any questions you may have. So happy I chose him. He has with you his students to make you enjoy being in his class. Take his class!!! No one likes math but he makes it better!!
Great professor - really knows his math! I haven't been doing so hot but just because I have a lot of other classes - nothing to do with him. He's there during office hours to help if you have additional questions and makes everything as simple as possible.
Math is Math but Professor Martin is always there to help with any problem you have. He is funny and very easy to get along with.
I did a hybrid class of his and you are able to take test three times. At the end of the semester he lets you go back and take the tests if you are not happy with your grade. His videos online are very clear and easy and homework is not due! which is a plus.
Prof. Martin made this class a breeze. His summer online course is as follows: Video Lectures, HW, Extra Optional HW, Quiz. There's also a midterm and final. He emails you back with thorough responses, and drops the 3 lowest quizzes, HW, and Video Lesson Grades. Try to stay ahead of schedule, it's fast and things are due on the weekend.
Great professor! Helpful, clear directions, and always willing to work with students. He's simple, if you put in the time, you will be fine in this class.
Great trig. professor! He is clear in his lessons with plenty of examples to get you started, but will make you earn a good grade if you are not too strong in math. He gives the fundamentals of the section, then you go home and try the math on your own. Questions will then be asked the following class meeting. Great teacher choice for 127
Kind of awkward. Weekly quizzes on mymathlab. weekly homework but the hw isn't due until last day of semester. His Tests are only 10 questions so you can only make few mistakes. I started skipping class and got a 52 on my second test so I would suggest attendance. Overall a decent teacher.
Great professor. Everything is specified and clear as can be. Online quiz every week and only four exams. One exam gets dropped at the end of semester. Has a good sense of humor so lecture isn't boring. Josh is really straightforward with the material and helps you understand it in the best way possible.
Josh was the best Math Prof. I've ever had. He taught everything in a straight-up/easy to understand way. He would stay after and help. He gives every opportunity for you to ask questions, during and after class. Also his wife will sometimes teach the class for him, and she is THE BEST EVER! Josh reminds me of Fry from Futurama/Andy Samberg lol.
Josh Martin is an amazing Calculus professor. His lectures are very organized and straightforward. He answers many questions, so it's hard to fail him. I was excited to go to Josh's class.
By far the best experience I have had in math so far! I am in Calc 181 with him now, and it is a difficult subject, but Josh makes it so that the help you need to get through it is available! He literally stays after class to help us on his own time. Great sense of humor! Looking forward to taking his wife for 182.
He makes jokes and makes the atmosphere enjoyable for the rest of the class. May release early and giver adequate study time in class before tests. Just be ready beforehand.
Prof. Martins lectures are straightforward and organized. He tries to help you understand the material in the best possible way. The one thing he wants is for you to understand the material not just be there for a grade. Make sure to study and practice! He always stays behind class to help those who are having trouble.
I loved this class. One of my favorite math teachers. Free textbook, homework once a week, engaging lectures, doesn't mind fielding questions (as long as it's about math), cares about the subject and students. Also, huge bonus for those who care about theory - he covers it. His homework will make you think. Lectures were fun too.
Calculus is a tough concept, it is all about the teacher you have. And this one is AMAZING! First off, he uses a $15 textbook and not that mathlab access code robbery scam. Second, he will stay after class and help you AFTER EVERY CLASS! He gives you reviews. and is super fair. DO THE HOMEWORK! IT WILL SAVE YOU!
