Very funny and really easy. No attendance policy. Always willing to help. Definitely take his class
Very good. Always willing to help and makes sure everyone understands. Tells you exactly how the test will be. Very fair grader.
GREAT teacher and personality. Always makes class enjoyable with his crazy stories. Extremely smart and helpful. Truly wants everyone to succeed. Absolutly best math teacher I have ever had.
Makes all material easily understood. Good teacher, funny, friendly. Quality person. Not the easiest class, attend class regularly if you want to get a good grade but there is no attendance policy.
One of the best math teachers I've ever had. I hate math, and by the end of the semester I actually enjoyed it. He's very laid-back and causal, but also very serious about teaching. Also, he's one of the most helpful professors you'll have.
he is the most amazing math professor i have ever had. i do not like math, and do not understand the subject well. mr jones taught math in a very enjoyable enviroment. he is very willing to help you out anytime, and makes you feel like you CAN do math.
This guy is AWESOME!!! He answers questions...and helps you actually learn about the stuff. I can still apply the basics of his class to other classes. He's fun. There is no way to sleep in his class unless it is ALL you,
Excellent teacher!! He is so funny too! Class is never boring!
GREAT teacher!! I'm horrible in Math, but this guy makes it very easy to understand. Hilarious and makes class interesting.
this is by far the best math teacher i have ever had. HE ROCKS! he is so funny and energetic he makes sure you understand the material. He gives points for trying. Very good...if you hate math he will change your mind. From day one you will feel great!!
This dude is the man. All i have to say is, if you can get this guy, get him.
Cool guy, the tests are pretty easy.
Oh my gosh! Mr. Jones is sooooo awesome! He woke me up every morning I went to his class! He is so hilarious and his teaching style is impeccable! Take him, or you'll miss out!
Very good teacher. Well organized and explains everything. Approx. 4 test and a final, which is open book, and may replace a low test grade. He gives non-quizes that he grades, but they are just for practice and not counted. No attendance policy.
Dr. Jones is the best teacher I've ever had. His style of teaching is very unique and easy to follow. Makes sure everyone understands everything taught. Very energetic.gives review sessions day before test in afternoon to go over things and answer ?s
AWESOME! TAKE HIM! hes so much fun and so easy to understand, but challenges you as well
Dr. Jones is hands-down the best Math teacher I've ever had- AND this was an 8:00 class for me! He was great- very easy-going, explains each problem in lots of different ways, is witty, and never boring. If you need to take a math class, take him!
Professor Jones is the man!!! He is a great teacher who covers all material very efficiently and he keeps your attention throughout the year. His tests only cover what he teaches you in class. Take his class!!!
AWESOME TEACHER!! take this class, very helpful, had it at 8:00 and i still got an A...very exciting and energetic teacher!
he is absolutly the COOLEST! If you get to take his class, even if it is at 8am, go ahead...Loved him, loved the class...it rocks!
Fabulous teacher & sounds just like Matthew McConaughey. You know he is having the best time teaching, as well. There could be worse things at 8am!
Great professor! Very helpful, loves to teach and will help you with anything you need help with. Fun course.
Great, fantastic teacher. Very helpful, friendly and positive. Clear lectures, straightforward tests. Nothing about which I can complain.
Have any questions, fears, aprehensions, or delusions about math? Or maybe you are just feeling razzle dazzled about the whole subject. If so then Mr. Jones is the teacher for you. He is so helpful and makes math class interesting. Best math teacher e
Best math teacher ever,understand and very helpful. Also he's very funny! Only five test the entire semester and they are all weighted the same. This includes the final exam. Willing to have study sessions before every test!
best mather teacher ever
This is BY FAR the best math teacher ever and a good person as well. Teaches in different varieties to ensure EVERYONE understands. Tests are exactly what are on the reviews. Gives homework but does not collect. Easy quizzes every now and then.
This was my first college math class and he made it very understanable and an easy a.
Prof. Jones is a wonderful teacher who always tells jokes and is interesting. He encourages all his students to visit him during his office hours if they are confused (which is usually never b/c it is so easy). He personalizes each test and seems to enjoy teaching. If you don't like math, TAKE HIM
I love this teacher. He helped me in math, I got 100% on a test, I have never done that in math before. He is a great teacher with handout option homework that strongly resembles his exams. Great teacher. No mandatory hw at all. Can't recommend him enough.
Hes absolutely hilarious. Only grades tests but they are easy. Covers everthing in class. Hes the man.
Good Great Grand wonderful! Best math teacher in the world. Take his class... Optional homework, but handouts go over everthing on the easy tests!! No attendance policy.
Best teacher I've had in a long time! The wat he explains things makes this math class really easy. His test are just like the examples he does in class. Very funny guy. Strange but hilarious! I had this class at * in the morning but it was worth it!
This guy is awesome. The best math teacher I have ever had. Gives non-quizzes which are identical to problems on the tests. Just do these, and you will get an A on every test. Take Him!!!
Great teacher, makes the material easy to understand and very fair on the grading. He wants you to learn the material and go out with a good grade too unlike some professors. Take him!!
class is not difficult, he is always willing to help outside of class, he is very easy to talk to and cute too
he was very helpful and clear and makes sure everyone understands everything. even at 8am, he is wide awake and ready to go, and gets the class involved. i hate math and usually dontunderstand it, but he made everything very clear. take him if you get the chance!
Great teacher! so nice, happy, excited about teaching. made material very understandable. no homework policy. really wants his students to do well.
Very easy teacher. Gives non-quizes which are the basis for all tests.On tests even if your answers are not correct he will give you credit for your working out that you've done.
Nice guy. I don’t like Math, nor am I good in it but he made it enjoyable. His tests aren’t normally too hard. No attendance policy. Gives take home quizzes, which you don’t have to hand in since they don’t count, but are good practice for the tests.
Awesome teacher! He is very helpful and the class is easy to get through. Don't have to be a wiz in math to pass his class! Tests are soo easy! No attendance policy but just show up to class and you will make a B or above!
Prof. Jones is an incredible man. He is a great teacher. He makes sure everyone understands before he goes on to a new idea. The class was really interesting (to my surprise), and I learned alot! Take this guy he is THE best!
Professor Jones is a great teacher - I hate math, but loved his class. He makes it very understandable, gives relavent and funny examples, is always willing to help if you need it, and loves teaching math! Take him if you can - he is awesome!
Professor Jones is Awesome! Just like everyone else said he presents the material in a clear and understandable way. He's even wide awake and ready to teach at 8am! Put in some effort and get a B....really try and you'll get an A. Take him, he's the best!
i just enjoyed going to class because he is so cute but he also is very helpful all you need to do is look over the nonquizzes that he doesn't grade to make an A on the tests
awesome teacher. gives partial credit, which saved my grade. i took him at 8 in the morning, which sucks, but its not bad. no attendance policy, but i still reccomend going bc getting the notes out of class is tricky.
Awesome teacher, a easy A course, he is all about tennis and Starbucks. TAKE HIM IF POSSIBLE!!!!!
Hilarious. Intelligent. By far the best math teacher I have ever encountered. He has a unique talent for making math a part of your life by relating it to ordinary situations. A good communicator and an excellent professor.
HOTTTTT...even though he is older. Very funny and I love the way he says "razzle dazzle" when talking about complex ideas. So personable and fun to take a class with. GREAT teacher too. Loved the class and made an A.
This is a WONDERFUL professor, you need to take any class that he is teaching.
He's a fun guy, but that doesn't mean I like math any more than I did. The class was kind of hard, but he tries to get you through it the best he can.
Good communicator. Exciting and informative.
Made math completely tolerable. Nice guy who keeps it entertaining. Very helpful and clear. If you struggle in math, he will make it easier. Take him if you can!
He is awesome. NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS, TAKE HIM!!!!!
Best professor I've had. Exciting, funny, positive, helpful. Everything you want in a professor. Easy A if you put out a little effort.
Great Teacher. He is helpful, his teaching is clear and is exactly what's on the tests. He's great and he definitely keeps your attention. Even at 8 in the morning he is still able to make jokes! I recommend everyone to take a class with him.
Only took this class because it was required, but Prof. Jones made it totally worth while!! He has an engaging personality, clearly knows his stuff, and is definitely all about helping students succeed. I would highly recommend him to anyone, whether a math major or like me, taking a required math.
Take him if you like some fun with your probability. Your probability of getting an A is an 95% CI. TAKE HIM!!!
Martin is awesome. Even at 8 am you wont fall asleep and you will learn easily. He explains things in an elementary way so you will ace the tests. He is always available for extra help, if you want to get an A, you will definetly get an A. Hes AWESOME!
I honestly can't think of a negative thing to say about this guy. I had this class Mon. Wed. and Fri mornings at 8 and it was one of my favorite classes at CofC. Also, review sessions before tests helped out a lot.
absolutely loved him. he is real cool, he doesn't take attendance but i feel quilty if i don't come because he really loves his students and tries to keep them interested which he has not problems in doing. i would recommend him to everyone and i pray that one day he will teach another course that i have to take because i ♥ Him!!! Take hi!!!
an awesome teacher! he is very nice and willing to help with anything! he tried making the class as easy as he could..i definitely recommend him!
If you have to take a math class sign up for one with Martin. He's extremely helpful, gives out work sheets every friday that are extremely helpful when it comes time to study for tests, no quizes, tests only. I'm horrible at math and he made it crystal clear, I ended up with an A+. Plus He's funny so if you can only get him at 8am it's worth it!
Best teacher ever! I hate statistics but with Martin Jones I ended up with an A+ in the class and I actually learned something!
GREAT CLASS FOR HONORS STUDENTS looking to take their last math. If you have any background in statistics at all, it should be an easy A with a little effort.
Took him for Stats. He's a fantastic teacher.I would take from him again if I could. He's so nice and helpful.I hate math with a passion, AND I had it at 8am, but it was worth it to have him teach the stats.He's one of those teachers that really wants you to learn, so he will help you in any way he knows. If 8am is the only time available, take it!
Take him if you have to take a math!!!!
BEST math professor ever! I'm horrible at math but ended up with a B+! He has study reviews before each test and replies to emails with questions right away. Homework is online but he gives you tons of chances to do well! Great professor!
Best professor for any course I've ever had. Makes class fun and makes material extremely understandable. Extends his passion for math on to his students. Take his classes. I will continue to look for his name time and time again.
Fantastic teacher! He really wants his students to be able to apply statistics outside of class. He teaches it to apply it. Very clear, fun,a nd you know exactly what to expect on tests. No tricks. He just wants to see you use it properly. Very available, and only a few assignments during the semester.
Totally rec this prof. Made math very straight forward. Tests were very clear, and we were well prepped for them. Also had review sessions outside of class b/f every test and the final.
This is the best teacher! His lives for math - reads math books for fun. Super energetic, and really wants student to come away having learned the material. Willing to help and always has review sessions. Practically walks you through what will be on the test - he hates giving tests. Great teacher!!!
LOVE THIS GUY. Definitely my favorite professor at CofC. Statistics is dull and challenging, but Martin made it bearable. Very interactive and loves helping out in any way possible. I'm good at math, but I knew that he was always willing to help his students succeed, he genuinely wanted us to do well. Definitely recommend his class.
He is a very entertaining teacher...he is not the least bit boring, but if you're a person who likes structure and organization, then do NOT take him. The way he writes his notes on the board are hard to follow. And he doesn't give many examples to go by.
Can't say enough good things about Martin Jones. He is literally the best math teacher/professor in the world, really knows his stuff inside and out, and actually cares about his students making a good grade and understanding the material. I feel much more passionate about math than I used to simply because of him. Sign up for any class he teaches!
One of the most passionate professors ever, he's inspired me to take more math classes. Tests are incredibly fair, and his little assignments gets you familiar with software that you can use for other classes. If you have to take 250, definitely take it with Martin! Also, if you have any previous statistics experience, you're set for an easy A!
Doesn't get any better.
Dr. Jones is an amazing teacher. He is passionate about the subject and he holds review sessions before tests to make sure you are prepared. The 5 out-of-class assignments we had were useful because we learned how to use a statistical software. Anyone who says it is hard to do well in Jones class is not taking advantage of what he offers.
Jones is great in every way. Very passionate about math and it shows in his teaching. He cares more about you understanding the concept than giving you an assignment. Very few assignments, usually no tests. Attendance not required. Very fun, funny, and understanding guy. Take him for every math class you possibly can. Easy A. Cares about students.
Martin is just awesome. He is the ideal example of what a professor/teacher should be. Take him for as many math classes as you can.
such an amazing teacher. I am by no means a math person, and until this year have never made an A in a math class. He is such a great teacher. takes the time to make sure everyone understands, and you can tell he is passionate about what he is teaching. take him, you won't regret it!
My second math class with Martin was Math 350 - Statistical Methods. He made everything easy to understand and applicable to real world situations and problems, making seemingly abstract concepts tangible. Very friendly, fun, and funny guy. Makes class very enjoyable. I actually looked forward to going to class!
This was my 3rd class with Martin. The course material was hard, being a 400-level, but Martin makes everything approachable and easy to understand in simplified terms. This guy is just the best. You won't fully understand all these positive reviews on here until you take his classes and experience it yourself.
If you have the opportunity, take him. He knows his stuff and is able to explain complex lessons simply and concisely. I would register for any math class he teaches.
Prof Jones is awesome. He makes stats interesting and easy which isn't easy to do. He's super nice and will explain something 10 times if you need him to. You can use a cheat sheet on the midterm and he tells you exactly what is going to be on the midterm/final. Also, no tests. Take him!
I hate math, but I actually enjoyed this class solely because of Professor Jones. He is super laid back and interjects funny stories into the lessons, which helped keep my attention. He keeps the material simple, and there are only a few easy assignments the whole semester. Plus, a cheat sheet on midterms and finals!
He is the best professor Ive ever had. He uses fun application of math to real life problems. His lectures are interesting and he really wants his students to enjoy math and really life in general.
Professor Jones is one of the best professors I've had thus far at CofC. His lectures are fun and he relates the class to real world examples. There are frequent MiniTab assignments due bi-weekly but are easy if you take notes in class and count for a big chunk of your grade. He is such a sweet man and is always willing to help!
Awesome!
Fantastic professor! Assignments are well explained, and the material is presented clearly and well. Plus he's very approachable and engaging. Wish I could take another class with him!
3 exams (typically 4, but due to the weather the syllabus was changed), super easy as long as you attend class. Hands out study guides that are similar to the exams. A few Minitab projects, but he demonstrates how to complete the project in class. Lectures are fun to attend, funny guy! Highly recommend!
Professor Jones is not only one of my favorite professors at C of C, but he is probably my favorite Math professor of all time! I never really liked math, but going to his class makes it so much more fun! He relates everything to real world examples and makes learning the material simple. No need for a textbook, he writes his own notes. Take him!!!
My all time favorite math teacher that I have ever had. No textbook required, just amazing lectures that have you walking out of the classroom with a smile on your face because you understand everything going on. Also, should be a comedian in his free time because he is so hilarious. 10/10 recommend this professor for any math course.
Caring professor, makes the material understandable and gives you plenty of practice over it, has a good sense of humor and is fully willing to help you if need be. Overall, solid choice if you're looking to take basic statistics.
Great professor, have lots of respect for him. Wants you to succeed so he offers lots of help and breaks the material down to make it more simple.
I would recommend him to anyone who struggles with statistics. I have tried multiple stats professors at CofC and just could not follow along. He presented the material in a way that made it fun to learn! I would definitely recommend taking him for stats!
I had Professor Jones for statistics and he was extremely helpful. I scraped by in MATH 250 not really understanding the material well and was super scared to take his class, but he did an amazing job of explaining everything and was extremely friendly and approachable. Take him if you can!!
I had him for 440 this past semester and will have him again next semester. Overall, I enjoyed his class and ended up doing well. His lectures at times were a little messy, but he genuinely wanted us to do well and was not afraid to majorly curve if needed. Couldn't tell you how much I really learned, but at least I did well.
Jones is such a sweet person/professor. He is not a tough grader. Homework reports are about 50% of the grade which is such a plus! His lectures can be all over the place, hard to connect point A to point B, but if you show up, and practice the study guide ideas, you will be fine! He is helpful in office hours and is willing to work and support you
