Funny instructor! If ever in the computer lab, you might hear him laughing from his office.

Great teacher has a good sense of humor reminds me of my uncle. Nice guy who will not only teach the class but will make it fun as well

Great teacher!

No exams just papers. 40% of your grade is attendence, not to hard just a lot of group work.

pretty cool teacher, likes to make learning fun. can go off subject at times and go on little rants, but humor him and the class will go by fast and easy.

Great teacher, very humorous and easy going. The only grades are papers, which are easy after reading the text. He is very helpful and caring. I recommend him!

Great Professor, The class is mostly discussion over assigned reading and then an essay every other week. Overall a class that really makes you think.

I took him for History I & II. Until I took his classes, I had no interest in history whatsoever! His class was easy! When writing your essays just be sure to include what he writes on the board for that particular essay and use it! I always got "A's" on them. He made it interesting and is not concerned with you remembering dates. NO TESTS!!!

Mr Martinez is an excellent instructor. He enjoys what he teaches. Course required a good deal of work but overall not too bad. I would take him again

Mr Matinez is by far my favorite professor period. He made history extreamly interesting and I found it very easy to learn from him. I took him in a hybrid course so there was a lot of work to complete but he made it so fun I never cared.

Took as online course. Very fair grading and assignments are thought provoking. Discussion board postings are interesting. Quizzes are short but can be difficult. Good teacher and has a good class structure for online learning.

This online class requires alot of reading, homework and bulletin postings. He offers a good amount of extra credit and I don't think it was difficult as long as you read.

I took his online course. It's a lot of reading, but that's expected with any history and/or online course. He always provided useful feedback to assignments. Pretty easy grade.

I took him as an online class. There is a lot of reading but that is expected. There are essays that has to be turned in every week. If you do what is required and turn papers in on time then you will get a A. I followed it and got an A.

Easy class, show up and make a few comments to participate. He's a really nice guy, and graded our papers pretty leniently, I got an A on all of them. As long as you read the text, it's easy. I also liked that he only required 1 book, instead of 2 or 3, and we only had 1 assignment that required us to go find other info on the internet.

I took the summer online course and it is pretty basic. Alot of reading and writing to be done in this class (as expected for an online class)but overall a good history class.

Very cool dude. PERPENDICULAR!

Great Teacher. I took him for two online classes and each time I had a great experience. As long as you participate and read you will do alright. You will do a bit of work, but it will pay off in the end. I reccomend him to everyone.

I don't understand the negative comments? The notes he writes on the board are not the kind which you would take for a science class. The class is analytical and if you read and listen to what he says, you will do fine. Of course, he expects college level writing; you're in college! This professor is outstanding. I would take him again. A+

Mr. Martinez is a great teacher. He expects you to earn your grade. He's passionate about the topic he teaches which makes the class more interesting. He is a college level professor and challenges students to think critically, if he didn't he would be doing students a diservice. I would take him for History 1302 if he taught it also. GREAT JOB!

Very good teacher i took him twice and the class is super easy!!!

Good professor. He loves teaching and you will learn a lot. However, it's almost impossible to make an 'A' in his class. He will help you when you need it. Basically the only homework is reading from the textbook and he'll go over the reading every class. 3 papers. I would recommend him if you don't care about your GPA.

This was an online course, so Text book was mandatory. He was very concise with what he expected and though there was a good amount of coursework it was fairly simply, if not time consuming (but hey, its higher education). This man loves to teach and is helpful. He sets his expectations up front and sticks to them. Great professor!!

I took this class on-campus since I really enjoyed his online course. It was even better on campus. He is thorough and makes you work for your grade, but if you put in the work you should be just fine! Overall I think he is an excellent professor.

He was very clear on what he wanted. Took his online course during the summer. It is alot of work. I have taken history class before but this one required ALOT of reading with the textbook. I guess a good thing is that he only required one book.

He is an awesome teacher. I took him for Summer 1, and I got an A. You must do all the assignments and participate. His final is easy the best part is you dont take tests you write essays. We watched movies and wrote a paper on them. I learned more in his class than any of my other classes, and didnt have to study, just read.

Very easy class just do the readings and assignments. After every reading he will lecture and pretty much tell you what to write your essay on. YOU NEED THE BOOKS. DO THE WORK. GET AN A. I would take him again very nice and helpful and always available to help with your papers :)

he's a great teacher! good sense of humor, doesn't get angry or yell. the papers you write aren't very hard but you will have to do the readings that he assigned for them. basically every day you get into groups and talk stuff over so it isn't difficult

A lot of essays,lots of them. He's a great teacher and make you look at history from a different perspective,If you take this class you will love the way history is told by actual witnesses and not by book authors

Mr. Martinez is a very nice teacher. His feedback on assignment are very good, although they're long; you will learn a lot from them. He does not give out test only CTA's and papers.

If your not willing to try or pay attention then I would not recommend to take him. It was an hard A to get because I have no knowledge of history but I have gained so much from his lectures and the readings. Yes a lot of reading but its informative when writing essays. He's a great teacher and inspiring. He makes you look at history different.

If you like reading and writing then this is the professor for you! There was not one single test in this class. Everything was done by writing assignment. It is quite reading intensive, typically 2 chapters a week. Active participation in the discussions are a must for an A. EXTRA CREDIT!!! I learned a ton! I would take his class again!

I personally enjoyed the way the class was taught. Same pattern as other history courses, expect to read and write a lot. Not that hard, but time consuming. I've been in harder classes. Overall, the professor is very ethusiastic about teaching the material and clears it up pretty easy.

This was great! I learned so much of the true history of the second half of American History. This class does such a great job at showing you all perspectives. The book is a must, you will not pass without it! You will read the entire book. There are dais and essays and assignments are from the book. Great class but be ready to work!

Informative lectures and a very helpful professor.

Dr. Martinez was a good professor. He posts things that are due by 7 am and that was a little confusing for me, but he is helpful, informative, and takes late work. Yeah, and like every assignment is an essay, and he does read them.

Paul Martinez is a very though professor he grades very hard and in detail. Miss one assignment and you practically failed. Expect a lot of reading and hard reading as well. Homework is about the readings and discussions boards. Make sure to elaborate in yours DBs. And everything is due Tuesday before 7am.

As others already point out, every thing due Tuesday- no exam, just lot of papers. Class is not hard if you like reading, writing, and critical thinking ( a lot). You must also spend time on discussion to succeed. Grading is tough but not reasonable. Since I took him on online, I can't said much about his personality, but you'll be fine.

He is a great teacher. It's a lot of reading and writing essays at least once or twice a week. I only read what the assignments were on and did well in the class. Participation and attendance is important in this class. Some days were very lecture heavy. No tests, just all written assignments. The professor is very professional and grades quickly.

Mr. Martinez is laid-back and has a great disposition. His class is ALL papers. If you don't like writing, don't sign-up. Overall, very informative and all-inclusive class. Class time is mostly group discussions. He gives you time to read in class also. The final and mid-term were a paper and powerpoint. Nothing too overwhelming. Cool guy!

Professor Martinez is a great professor to take online. Im taking his online class and everything you need to do is all straight forward and nothing is too hard to handle. Papers are every week but they are 2-3 pages. Grades well and gives you a week to complete assignments. Would take him again if he taught classes other than history!

Professor does give a lot to read and participation on DB are important and easy 100s. Essays due every week, which is not that bad with them being 2-3 pages long. Very lenient with work and works well if your late turning in. No final exam given, just a reflection on what you learned. Easy A.

Easy A. Post your DBs and others post to get easy 100s, the essays due each week are 2-3 pages long. He is willing to work with you if you turn in late work. No final given, you write a 2-3 page paper on reflection of the semester and what you have learned and gained. I enjoyed this class.

Super nice! Classes always have the same structure. Goes over the readings over class, but you'll have to do them on your own as well. Get ready for an essay basically every week.

Mr. Martinez was a good teacher. Those who didn't do well never read the textbook or listened to what he said during lectures. He does assign a decent amount of papers but they aren't too hard. He always discusses the chapters in class so the more you participate, the better you will learn. I don't like history very much but I enjoyed his class.

Took this class online. 1-2 essays per week that were 2-3 pages in length. Easy class but do the work. 4 discussion posts weekly, plus another on the weekends. Overall, he was a very nice professor.

I really liked Professor Martinez, He gave excellent feedback although he gave too much homework. we are in college to learn, aren't we? so learn!!!!!

Great professor but will make you work for it with the readings and essays. So I would take him if you have free time because it will be a challenge. Nice and cool, I liked him a lot.

This might be my favorite class I've taken so far. It was super challenging; literally the entire criteria was thinking critically through historical events. It's less of "here's what happened" and more "why do you think these things happened?" I really appreciated Professor Martinez's emphasis on critical thinking throughout the course.

Dr. Martinez was a professional and fair professor. Deadlines are strict, but he gives thoughtful feedback and utilized the textbook. Weekly workload summary: 20-ish page textbook reading, 1 essay, & 1 DB w/ 2 responses. EVERYTHING is based on the reading material. If you're up for a challenge & enjoy critical thinking, he's the professor for you.

Great professor for 1302, all we did was just discuss specific time periods of U.S History and read out of our textbooks. Explains the material very well. Attendance is Mandatory. Gives a 2-3 page essay almost every week, so be prepared for that.

Although, he does give out writing assignments every Tuesdays he gives great feedback on assignments, respectful, and helpful! I highly recommend him if you are required to take a US History course!
