By far the most helfpful and passionate teacher ever. I no math wiz, but Marthat made the course understandable and I enjoyed coming to class. Far better to understand than Marilyn Anderson or Pete Bloomsburg for Math 156 and 157. Those two ought to consider sitting in and refreshing their teaching tactics with Martha.

She is great at lecturing but she did a very minimal amount. This class was mostly online. The lectures were online, than sometimes if she thought the class was struggling she would do a lecture. She is very clear and very easy to understand when she lectures. You have evaluates, which are like mini quizzes after every section and 4 tests.

I highly recommend taking this class if your at all interested in meteorology because she is VERY informative and helpful. Not an "easy A" class by far, no finals but a group project at the end of the quater. ONLY bad thing is we took like 5 pages of notes a day from powerpoint and it gets a little repeditive.
