nothing discussed in class is on the test

The worst teacher that I have ever had. She doesn't teach us anything, we basically have to learn everything on our own. She has some poor students doing all of her work for her. All of the work she assigns is just busy work. The final project is very unreasonable to ask for group papers that long.

This professor is a joke. She never shows up to class and has a different excuse every week. She assigned random grades to people based on what she thought of them, not the previous grades they had been given in the class. At the end of the semester, there were 10 of us that had to ask for our grades to be changed. Avoid at all costs!!!

I honestly cannot believe that UMaine keeps this woman employed. She is by far the worst teacher I have ever had in my 20+ years of schooling. She never reads what you write and just gives you random feedback that has nothing to do with what you did. Avoid at all costs. However if you have to take her, make sure you document everything you do.

Possibly the worst class i have taken at the university... Didnt teach anything just babbled on (if she even showed up for class) didnt care about the students and was VERY unorganized...

Never bother emailing her. She will read and never respond no matter the urgency. Class attendance is necessary but you will not learn much from attending. Her directions are very unclear and she is very unhelpful. Tests are difficult. Only good thing about this class is that there is no final. If given the chance do not take a class taught by her.

Professor Broderick runs this course as if it a capstone for law school. The tests are far beyond the 200 level. Course material is poorly explained in class. Students are treated as subordinates first, people second. Arrogant and rarely replies to email within a week. Grade margin for attaining an "A" is extremely small. Select different teacher.

By far the worst professor and class experience I have had at UMaine. Had an honest interest in the subject matter but her lectures were unbearable, nothing but irritating rambling. She seriously never shuts up, even when she gave us an in class writing assignment she didn't stop to take a breath. Her attendance using assigned seats is ridiculous

Media Law was one of the worst courses I have ever taken at this school. The class was the biggest waste of time and full of arbitrary comments and useless jabber. I feel bad for BUA students who are required to take courses with her for their major. The woman just can't teach. I'm not some "bad student" complaining either; I have a 3.7 GPA.

disgrace to UMaine's MBS. takes forever to return graded work, never returns any writing assignments except for the idiotic business plan. blabbers during lecture with stories rarely relevant to course material. mandatory highschool-like assigned seating. its been past two weeks since the last project, FINAL GRADE HAS YET TO BE POSTED.

Easily the worst class I have taken here so far. The class is college level difficulty, but it's structured like a high school course. You're left completely in the dark about what your grade is the whole way through. Acts like her class is the only class worth worrying about. Group project is long and somewhat hard. Strange attendance system. Bad!

Martha expects us to do way more work than a full 5 course class load student can handle. Hundreds of pages of reading per week on top of a different book used for writing a book report. At least 4 worksheets due every week, and expects us to finish the long, dry chapters in a few days. She calls on random kids in class, so read the material.

NEVER responds to any emails, expects kids with tons of other classwork AND part time jobs to ONLY focus solely on her class, extensive/ridiculous amounts of homework/reading, will not take a class with her ever again.

If you're given a choice, never take a class with her. Certainly not this one. The material really isn't that difficult, but she is so demanding and even so intimidating that it's possible to get overwhelmed and do very poorly. If you can look past her disproportionately high standards, you'll be fine, just expect a heavy workload, and BE PREPARED.

Toughest class Ive taken yet. Exams are very hard and she is a very tough grader. Only thing I will give her is the stories she tells during lectures can be somewhat interesting. Must do the readings and take good notes. Study the cases

At the VERY end of most classes, she'll pop in a quick, "poster due by next class on chapters 12 and 13" and never mention it or email it. Even if you do go to class, it's so easy to miss assignments like this. You won't know your grade until the end of the semester. She's the most unprofessional instructor I have had.

Worst teacher ive ever had. Doesnt communicate whatsoever. Almost feels as though she is going out of her way for me to do poorly in her class. Has no empathy and takes no responsibility for her own mistakes. Makes me want to transfer schools because how awful she is. So unhealthy for mental health and she has no sympathy/flexibility with covid.

Hands down the most confusing course I have ever taken. The professor did a poor job at explaining the course material and to make matters worse the syllabus was disorganized and riddled with spelling mistakes. The final project is a joke and you will get minimal help from her. She also does not grade work untill the end of the semester.��

Worst professor you could imagine. Impossible to reach and when you do, extremely unhelpful. Very condescending. Gives no instruction on assignments and is very unclear.

Absolute worst professor I've had in my entire life. Good luck getting an email back. After 5 follow-up emails and still no response. Terrible at teaching.

Martha might be the worst professor in the entire state of Maine. She rambles about unrelated content in class, that's if she decides to show up that day. She is unorganized in nearly everything she does, doesn't make her requirements clear, and talks as if she's the most superior person in the room. Never take a class with this horrible professor.

It's not even halfway through the semester, and I already dread this class. Martha is a terrible professor with no guidance. She cancels class a lot (approx. 5 times so far) and a few times expected us to do group work without her even there. Doesn't mention all assignments in class or any details about it. Extremely unorganized and hard to follow.

Doesn't show up to class, class is very unstructured, doesn't respond to Emails.

One of, if not the worst teacher I've ever had. She rarely shows up for lecture, gives little direction on assignments, gives lots of homework in multiple confusing locations, and is absurdly rude and uncaring. If you need this course, find another professor. She does very little teaching, so be prepared to teach yourself.

She is terrible. Her lectures are required, however she has stated many times this is a self taught course. All you do in lecture for an hour and 15 minutes is sit and listen to her ramble on about random things that do nothing to strengthen your knowledge of the course. Group project worth 60% of your grade. Good luck ever getting an email back.

Very unhelpful and demanding professor. Strict grader involving longer papers. Her quizzes online are confusing and not clearly related to the text. Would not take again.

Very insensitive to unforeseen circumstances. VERY unorganized to the point she does not know if you're in the class or not. Uncaring, overall not a very kind person.
