Prof Martin is a WONDERFUL person - very kind and sweet, and cares about her students. However, I felt like we could have made better use of our class time a lot of the days. The last half of the semester she fixed it, and we started actively learning in class. Do the assignments , write the papers,and you'll pass. Wonderful lady, easy A.

Took this as an online class. Expected the course material to be tough, not trying to figure out what my assignments are. Uses a third party assignment website, and it is difficult to use. Some of the assignments are on blackboard, some on turnitin, and some are on her personal website(?). Got an A. Don't take her class online..

Professor Martin responds quickly to the needs of students and expresses a genuine interest in the subject matter, as well as in her students. She evokes higher level thinking and will improve your skill set. Her course is well developed and straight to the point. As long as you do the reading, you well excel in the class. I recommend the professor

I took Dr. Martin's English 1301 class online. It was my first college course in 14 years and after reading her syllabus, I nearly dropped her. BUT I AM SO GLAD I DIDN'T! She requires you to work for your A but will give it you if you apply yourself. I wish she was teaching 1302 I would take her for sure! She made me a much better writer I got an A

I've never had this amount of writing at this speed (already taken Uni senior writing class). Expect constant homework (discussion assigns 2-3x/week) which take several hours each to do right. Then there's labs that you have to find weekly time for b/c they're due half way into semester. She's responsive&helpful, but timeline is really too tight!

She is very concerned with deep thinking about the literature. Which is hard when there is 25+ people and you are required to think of something "new" and "insightful."
