A good teacher. Explains the concepts very well, especially to a person who has always done poorly in algebra. You need to pay attention in her class. She keeps you on your toes, but you get used to it. She moves kind of fast, but it just helped me become a quick thinker. You can pass, just be in class and practice the work.

She was so horrible at teaching I dropped the class before I had a chance to fail. She didn't explain anything then treated us like we were stupid when we got something wrong. She gave us group assignments and wanted us to stay after class to get them done, even though we had other classes! Plus her accent is obnoxious!

The quality of a teacher should not be based on the grade you get, but instead how well you understand the material.

Most of your grade consists of your tests, you take three tests and the final- so four tests total but the final counts twice. She drops your lowest test grade, so if it was your final she drops it once. Great teacher, clearly knew the material and how to make students understand. Cares about her students and how they do.

There are so many choice words I could use to describe her. I could hardly understand her with her thick accent. She doesnt explain things well and doesnt take the time to actually teach the lesson.

She's horrible, what other people said has a thick accent that is off putting. She always goes off on a tangent lecturing people about random things that aren't math related often talking about her sons or something. She will always call on you even if you don't have your hand raised and will put you on the spot. Avoid her at all times.

I like her, personally. If you pay attention in class and are actually trying to do the practice problems you won't have a problem when she calls on you randomly. If you're doing your ALEKS and practice test and in class group assignments you'll be fine too. Her accent is New York/Long Island so don't be scared you won't be able to understand her.

Lisa Martin is a great math professor at bucks county community college! I had her for Intermediate Algebra, and I valued my education when I was in her class. Even though she wents on rants about things that have nothing to do with math, they were valuable life lessons to take with you to make you successful. Prepare for a lot of ALEXS homework.

Prepare for a lot of homework. This professor is honestly one of the most challenging professors to work with. Even though she is a nice lady and she cares for the well being of her students, prepare to be frustrated and annoyed in her class. She makes you work for the grade you want, and won't stop until you have exactly what she wants. Goodluck

This class was pretty tough you only have four grades test one two three and four and a final. So be prepared to pass every single on of those test or you will fail the class. She is an okay teacher, she picks on people randomly during class for answers, even if you dont know it shell come back to you till you know one.

one of the worst math teachers ive had and class just started 2 weeks ago. relies heavily on aleks making you teach yourself while during zoom she flies through material and only gives you a minute to answer something then gets an attitude when you dont know the answer right away or at all. also rarely helps explain the problems herself.

The WORST. Tests and homework are insanely long, spent hours and hours on homework and it barely counts for a grade. Tests are horrible and felt impossible. It's only college algebra so it's actually impressive how awful she makes the course. Would never take again or recommend to anyone. Also she's rude when you reach out for help, don't bother

Without a doubt the best math teacher I've had, she really wants you to learn! She gives extra credit and helps review the material before the test. Felt like I thoroughly learned the subject and she was always very nice. If you have a chance to take her without a doubt do it!!! Just wish she taught calc 2.

Mrs. Martin lays out the whole course on my math lab from the start so you know what dates things are due, as well as when exams are. The study guides for the exams are very similar to the exams themselves, so it is easy to expect what to see on the test. Overall I would recommend her if you need 141, just study hard and you'll do well.

I loved Professor Martin. She is an excellent teacher and was great at explaining things. You barely had to do any homework because it wasn't completely counted for. Attendence, paying attention, and taking notes will get you a great grade in her class. She is super adorable and approachable; I totally recommend!

She posted weekly announcements and reminders. Uses Pearson program for all course work and it was very easy to work through. Responds to emails within 24-48 hours. Tests are very similar to review assignments. There were usually 2-3 quizzes online per unit, 3 tests, and then the final exam. Quizzes and homework assignments prepared you well.

The class was what I expected from an online class. There were videos to explain the concepts, graded homework, simple quizzes, and proctored tests. The reviews matched the tests. She clearly cares about the students and responds relatively frequently to questions. Highly recommend, easier summer class but still one where you have to try.

Tests are worth 75% of the course but she only tells us 1-2 days in advance. Sometimes she'd assign homework via email the night before she expected us to do it. She calls on people at random even if she told people to only do a few questions, so there's a chance you don't even know the answer. Frequently goes over time and is group work heavy.

Professor Martin really tries to make math easy. She starts off with basic rules and problems to get you to understand the concept. She keeps us engaged throughout class to make sure we are paying attention and understanding the material. The reviews for tests are very similar to the actual test, so if you understand the material, you will do well.

I got a C average but I am also horrible at math. I tried so many other professors and just could not pass math, so if you're like me and have a hard time with math, take her class. Her content was great for someone who is online and she really wants her students to pass.
