THERE IS WAY TOO MUCH WORK TO DO IN THIS CLASS, CONSIDERING IT'S WEX101. Do your self a favor and take someone else.

He gives ALOT of work...mostly packets. He is a very funny guy and usually lets you leave early sometimes. He doesn't belive in tests, so you don't have to take the midterm and final, but all that work makes up for it..Trust me....He gives alot of work!
He is an interesting teacher. A lot of work but doable. He teaches about things u can actually use in life.
HE MIGHT GIVE A LOT OF WORK...BUT ITS NOT HARD WORK AND THERE ARE NOT TESTS. HE'S AN AWESOME TEACHER!!!
FANTASTIC CLASS! There is a journal assignment in addition to other things. You will have to interview a person over 65. This class actually teaches you things you will need in life! IT'S GREAT! There are interesting videos too.

A great teacher with a great sense of humor. Lot's of work for a 2 credit class but his class is very interesting. He teaches much more than the subject--he teaches life lessons. A credit to BCC. There should be more like him!
As everyone has stated, too much assignments. But the professor is a great guy with a good sense of humor, and tends to go way beyond what is necessary for a basic WEX-101 class. And that is not a bad thing, because he provides a lot of useful info.
He is an old guy who needs to leave school and get a real life. He gives to much work and he don't care for anyone in his class. He don't know you names or who you are. He's just an old bag who needs to quit or retire now. He makes up his own rules.
He is a good professor, he doesnt give tests or quizzes so u dont got to memorize anything, but the work consists of a daily journal, timeline of your day, etc. As long as u organize ur time to get ur work done you should get an A ! :)
just do the homework on time you will get an A but you might have to spend $100 for stupid book
Prof. Martin, very good teacher. He teaches health in a good way. As long as you do all the assignment that he hands out you will pass his class with an easy "A".

HE IS A REALLY SWEET GUY AS LONG AS YOU DONT ****HIM OFF. STAY ON HIS GOOD SIDE. HE IS SARCASTIC AND FUNNY. THERE IS ALITTLE MORE HOMEWORK THAN YOU WOULD EXPECT, BUT THERE ARE NO TESTS. DO THE WORK AND ITS AN EASY "A".
He can be a cranky old man if you ****him off, but overall he's easy and clear about what he wants done and how it should be done - an easy A if u do the work

Books as expensive as hell...just pay attention and do the box of crap..easy A
Nice, funny guy as long as you don't $##$ him off. Very easy A, just a lot of crap to fill out in the packet you must buy. As long as you show up for class and fill out the books, hand them in on time you will get an A. TAke him!!!!!!

My Professor Martin is very care about his students. Taking his class u'll become happier and healthier. I truly love his class and his lecture. His class has no stress at all. You don't have to worry about exam. If you do the homework and hand it the end of the semester,U'll get an A. @~~"~~~~~~~~
expensive book, but it is deffenatly an EASY A.. i did not even write in half of the journal he makes you write andi still got an A.. the book is the only complaint i had about the class...
the best professor for easy A
TAKE HIM, easy professor, very very relaxing, if you are stressed, he is the one, his ambience music is the best, as well as the room, the stepped one, , if you sit in the back, you enjoy better the class. fill in all the books, and charts, listen to all he says, that class is the best choice OK !
take this class!!! easy to get an A....
He is a crazy old man, doesnt teach anything, but do the work and its an easy A. He is very funny, and entertaining. he comes off scary but hes a softy
Loved this teacher. Genuinely cares about his students, and won't put up with any crap from the jerks.
great teacher, i mean, if you are like all stressed out about everything this professor will help you a lot, also, the books are really expensive but they're worth it. at the beggining i thought that class was a waste of time, but trust me, the old guy is cool as hell, and he teaches in a funny way.
I love him, he is really a sweet caring old man, Its a very easy class and u will learn alot about life, truly enjoyed goin to class. i would take him again if i had to. take him u wont' regret
He's a good old guy..his class's really easy..jus do ur homeworks..u will get an A.
The teacher is a nice old man, and he will teach you a lot of healthy knowledge before you didn't know. Follow him and do the homework, you can get A.
good guy with a good heart, wants to help students figure out their future. just come to class everyday and dont make a lot of noise. doing the school work would also help. i think all of my class got an A.
He is a nice guy, his class is interesting and made me think about how i am handling my life. He is fun and all that you have to do is to give him all the homework to do.
Awesome professor. I recommend anyone take his classes. He's serious yet funny at times.
an interesting course. I learned a lot from this prof. I had a different, beneficial experince. Admired him
i took him in the summer his class was so freaking easy its not even funny, not only that but he is hilarious. . seriously. . hes old but sooooo funny. take my word you want him as ur teacher.
Very funny and charismatic teacher. Makes a class like WEX interesting.
great teacher, very cool! you should deff. take him. doesnt give TEST and the home work is easy theres no way to fail this class
good teacher. no tests. do the work- sure A.
take him when you are in his class its a bug out the old man is funny i had him late in the day and it always mad my day do all the work you will pass not dout about it
He was easy, just do the work and youll get an A.
He's an easy professor but can easily fail you if you take advantage of the class. He never gave tests and exams but you'll be getting lots of written work. Highly recommend him.
really nice old professor!!!! no notes, no tests. gives homework alot, but the good thing is it counts as test grades. doesnt require alot> just respect. i recommend to anyone who needs 2 credits and no hard work.
Martin is by far the cutest teacher ever...hes reallllly funny, and doesnt give tests...lots of homework but not a big deal...easy and fun!
No tests ever- but a lot of homework-Very easy class,and do the stupid thing in class and the stupid kids homeworks. Quiet easy pass class...
This professor is a tremendous old man. Most of the material that he teaches will be very helpfull in your future life. You have my recommendation for this teacher.
Dynamic personality, teaches about life and the things we really need to live a good healthy existance. He demands respect and being on time. He shares his life experiences and mistakes to help us grow. He teaches how to relax and save money in a fun way. Take this professor you will not be sorry.
Prof. Martin is absolutely the greatest!! He is soO EASY!! Just make sure you get all the assignments done and do not misbehaving in his class- cause he hates that!! If you want to learn something and want an easy A you have to take him...
GREATEST TEACHER EVER!!! that pretty much sums him up. He's a great guy and he's very lenient.
easy class..old guy tends to forget stuff once he had a this woman come n speak to our class twice on the same subject..fill out handouts n the books n u get an A.. NO TESTS
Okay, not to sound rude, but you have to be an idiot to fail this class. He can be really annoying and cranky sometimes, but there is no way you can fail. There are no tests, just a lot of handouts, which are so easy. He's a little wierd - makes you meditate during class, but if you want an easyy A, take him.
Will teach more about life and what you need to do inorder to live a happy and successful life is an easy A but its not just about the grade its about what you get out of the class this class will help in life mo matter what your major is or what you end up doing in the end he explains the things in which we all need to focus on.
He takes an otherwise boring class and makes it fun. No tests, just fill in easy dittos. Very eccentric, but in a good way. Very funny. Very passionate. Politically very liberal-a bit one sided. Teaches some good life lessons, i.e. importance of investing-but it's never boring. Starts class with meditation, walking, and stretching. Take his class.
Prof. Martin is a man full of knowledge and wants to pass some of it onto his students. At least the ones willing to pay attention to his classes. No tests just alot of handouts to be filled out and COLORED. Gets a little cranky at times and can be quite bitter about it. Just pay the man the respect he deserves and you'll do just fine. Easy A.
great guy. learned alot from him. teaches you to not procrastinate with the many dittos he hands out.
Extremely helpful and understanding, helped me through some problems that I was going through. Really sweet and caring, as long as you do his work you'll get an A.
Awesome Teacher, Just Ditto Work, Easy A
I absolutely hate this teacher he is not a professor i have no respect for what the man has to say. If you are looking for an easy A in Bergen then take this class, but if you are truly in any shape or form a college student don't take his course you will NOT LEARN ANYTHING YOUR BABY SISTER CAN'T TEACH YOU...YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
EXTREMYLYYY EASYYYYYYYYYY A+. for the first 10min of the class u just sit down and meditate with the lights off. and then u stretch for 5min. there are no TEST or Quizes. NO MIDTERMS AND FINALS, just hand outs and serveys. no need to take notes. i've only been to class 4times. he doesnt check attendence, u could tell ur friend to sign in for u. he
the class is very easy, there is a lot of work, but hay there is no test. about attendance freind of yous can sign you in. also he doesnt check the assignments, he just looks at it to make sure you did it. another tip, he is an old guy, and forgets stuff. if you hand in the assignment late, just pretend that you handed to him but he didnt check it.
very easy teacher, not much work easy class easy grader.
AWESOME Prof.!!! Teaches you life skills. Taught me how to meditate to de-stress. I am a returning adult student and didn't think I'd get much out of this class but I did. The steps to deal with stress were the biggest thing for me. I also really appreciated the way he showed us how things going on in the world relate to our lives.
he talks about the most uninteresting crap that has absolutely nothing to do with the course and really isn't all that helpful. he gives a lot of paper work which really isn't hard its just a lot. to me he's just overall annoying and old.
Has his own rules whether you like it or not !
He may be easy- but I learned nothing about wellness and excersize. The man has his own ideas about what he should be teaching. Really dull and oversteps boundaries- talks way too much about politics- i mean this is a health class!
He is supposed to teach wellness and exercise and all he does is babble on and on about nothing!! he makes you do all of these stupid useless handouts and makes you write down quotes he makes up in his head. People say he's easy but he's not! It's a lot of WORK. Stupid work but work nonetheless. Dont take him. Honestly.
funny guy... hes supposed to be teaching wex but talks about everything but what he is supposed to... easy class.
He made us meditate and then JOG around the classroom at the start of each class... like duck-duck-goose. Do the work and you get an easy A. You have to endure his ranting and old man philosophy. Ladies, he's crude - a lot of cursing and references to sex. Otherwise, it's an easy "A". It wasn't bad. The trick is, take him during summer semester.
He is very easy but if you are a republican, i suggest taking someone else. He doesn't like them. The work was nonsense but more time consuming than anything else. He is crude. Don't forget your name card, and don't wear a hat to class.
Do not take him it is the worst class. he only talk about politics and his problems. And he teachs you nuttin about health . And you have to teach yourself from all three books.
He wants everyone to get an A. You are allowed to redo all your work. Just turn your phone off, don't wear a hat, and don't slam the door. You'll watch quite a few movies and have some discussions. Homework is comprised of mostly self-tests and evaluations.
honestly..this class is really easy. professor is one of those cranky old men. you have to buy the book if you want to get an A. but if you have no patience for listening to uninteresting crap for hours on end and hear him whine and do really annoying 100 page worksheets then go for it and sign up. if not...beware.
oh god this proffesor ir the best i took in college..when we get to class we meditate for 15 min..then we just talk and talk about politcis nd whats going on on everyday life..hws are the easiest one..if u dont want to be in his class just sing in and then be out hahah..i would def recommend him ;)
It is very easy to get an A. An Excellent Teacher. Just need to do homework and you will be o'k. No tests, just homework. Highly Recommended!!!! Very easy to get an excellent grade!!!
I think he is funny
Here's the deal..You get a bunch of nonsense assignments to do,like record your phone calls for 3 days & a bunch of LONG surveys and 100+ page packets.If you do every assignment,you will get an A.However,Martin doesn't have a syllabus or clear list of assignments.The whole time the class had no idea what the homework was, resulting in lower grades.
NO HATS WHATSOEVER!I did not learn 1 SINGLE THING tht this course is supposed to teach.Martin makes up his own course,talks about his opinions on everything but what we're supposed to be learning in Wex.Talks down to "our generation," &thinks hes giving us lifesaving advice& every single word that comes out of his mouth, he tells us to write down.
number 1 the best ever
This man is the best teacher, honestly i learned so much in his class the work is not a lot obviously if you wait for the last minute its going to pile up but its so easy to get an A just do all the work and you will really learn a lot about finances and life in general, if your looking to succeed TAKE HIM!!
One of the best professors you will ever have! He is a great teacher because what he teaches you are things you need in LIFE not just to pass the class or to graduate. You will truly remember him as one of the greatest professors you will ever have. Despite the random profanity from time to time, he is a funny and helpful prof.
He is great !!
Good professor. Go to class, buy the book, do the work and you'll get an A. He teaches stuff which EVERYONE will need in life such as finances, etc... Interesting class. Keep your mind open and do the work and you'll do well!
this guy is a wack job. its like some shell shocked world war 2 vet ranting for 80 mins. we didnt get to anything health related until the last week of the class. he gives tons of work that has nothing to do with education. all his assignments were either middles school "what are your dreams" assign. or how to save the environment. dont take him
This guy shouldnt be teaching. Yes I agree with what the previous people stated that he is teaching life lessons but this is a health and fitness class. I came in hoping to learn more about excercises and nutrition but instead am being taught his completely one sided political views.This is college success that he is teaching not health & fitness.
Should b teaching ICE w/ wut he focuses on: mental health & success. Don't take if already took ICE or if you're health nut or gym rat. The only thing about nutritional health & physical fitness you'll learn is from the book, & you probably know that stuff already. No tests. Lots of easy HW, but what the HW is often unclear. Ask him after class.
Easy, just get the work done. Talks too much about economics and politics for a health professor. If you're Repulican, conservative, or religious, don't take. Some things/views he teaches or shows videos on may offend you or make you angry with disagreement. Teaches opinions as if they are facts and tells us to apply them to our lives
Very funny, nice, old man. He has a lot of good things to say about life and politics, but not to much on fitness. So if your looking for a health that looks at health, than this is not the class for you, but if your looking for a class that is easy and fun, were you learn a lot about life, than this is it!
P. Martin is the man! Class is about analyzing your life and making improvements. No tests, just homework which consists of short essays on videos from class and self help type surveys. Whether you agree with his opinions or not, just do your work and you'll be fine. He's funny, wise, and cares about his students.
Fits into the stereotypical old man category. Has been here for 46 years. he is 76. Will learn nothing about wellness/exercise, but talks about politics/health care/life lessons, ect. Gives u a million assignments, but easy as hell. No tests or anything. Most people just signed in and left. Just do the easy ass assignments, hand them in and leave.
EASY A's!!!!
this class is a joke. first day of semester you can tell it's an easy A! this guy doesnt believe in tests whatsoever...no midterm, no final, no tests, nothing! except homework...your grade is based on the homework and assignments..but all u have to do is just DO them and hand them in on time. u meditate at the beginning of each class.
if you cant get an A in this class then it's either your lazy, a bum, or just dumb. it's impossible to fail this class. just do the hw and you'll be fine.
THE BEST PRO BERGEN EVER HAD AND WILL HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's the easiest professor you'll ever have, but I'm going to school to get an education, not waste my time on his rants, whether I agree or not. This is a HEALTH AND FITNESS course, people! It was insulting expecting to be educated, but have to sit though this instead.
An easy A, but you have to earn it by listening to his idiotic lectures that have ZERO to do with health, fitness or anything close to educational. We spent 3 classes watching "An Incovienient Truth", remember this is WEX not Political science. Take the class, but an "A" is all you will get out of it. Crazy Old Man theater.
I completely agree with 2 previous comments about the class and the teacher. From the first day it felt like it was one big brainwashing class without any health and fitness connection. All classes seemed to be political disputes, hating of rich people and lack in the Health Insurance field. Easy A, some homework and hours of people's complaining.
Easy A
I just took professor Martin of the summer and its an easy a. Although you learn nothing about health at all,you learn about things things that will help you out in life. Professor Martin is a kool guy and this is probobly the only class whose notebook im keeping after im done with the class so I can back at the lessons Ive learned. Easy A.
Professor Martins class was by far one of the easiest A's. All you have to do is fill out the handbook and the workbook he gives you by the end of the semester. And there are also some "essays" you have to right on surveys. its nothing to complicating and sometimes the class was boring a with the movies he played. but overall his class was easy
prof. martin is so funny and he's a very good teacher. if you miss an assignment he'll let you hand it in late, but don't make it a habit. doesn't give a lot of work, no tests, make sure you do the whole workbook and little work he gives. very helpful.
Professor is a realist. He speaks about truths. We are tomorrows future and if we do not take charge of change then we will get left behind. Several short papers he calls "conclusions" on what matters to us, what we believe and feel. A workbook to fill out and no exams. It was my pleasure to take your class. Wonderful professor!
Great teacher! Tells it how he sees it! 2 workbooks and some small assignments are assigned - do them and you pass the class! No tests!!!
He is very likeable & adorable! He is one very wise man--for his age he has experienced a lifetime of things & desires to teach us about humanity and its unfortunate realities. I found it really interesting. Work: NO EXAMS, but.. fill out 2 workbooks, 1 "interview", and write 1 paragraph essays. *He doesn't read them just checks if you wrote somin!
I don't know what these people are talking about. Yes the class is easy but it was SO boring. All this 90 y.o man talks about is money and how we're all going nowhere in life and we all piss away our parents money. He's actually kind of offensive when he talks about certain jobs like how dpw workers are below us. Easy A but TEDIOUS work and BORING.
EASY A :) Just fill two workbooks, one interview. and some one paragraph conclusions. We do "mindfulness" for the first 5 mins of class. I def. recommend this professor, he's such a nice guy and he doesn't give any exams or quizzes. You have to be REALLY lazy to fail his class. Just put some effort into it, it's an easy class.
This professor is one of the worst i have had at bergen so far. He teaches nothing relevant to the health class that he is suppose to be teaching. Its only been day three of this class & he has already gave 8 assignments, absolutely ridiculous ones at that. Day 3 he cursed us out then proceeded to kick the class out for not answering a question.
Professor Martin is a great source of knowledge. The amount of assignments are reasonable and interesting. The course was pleasant and so was Mr. Martin.
Great professor! Easy!!! No tests, just some easy assignments that are not due until the end of the semester!!! if you want an easy A take him!!!
Worst professor I've ever taken at bergen...like someone mentioned before all he talks about is how were screwed in the future because of mistakes we made and we barely learn anything. He also gives a TON of homework assignments each class. He also just expects you to do the entire workbook on your own...wow thanks professor for teaching us nothing
Prof: Martin is a realist. He speaks truths. We are tomorrows future and if we do not take charge of change then we are screwed. Several short papers he calls "conclusions" on what matters to us, what we believe and feel. It is a pleasure to take this class. I am still in it, Wonderful fun professor!
GREAT GUY. very enthusiastic and passionate about his work.
This professor has not even the slightest clue as to what he is suppose to be teaching. It's a health and fitness class NOT a class on what Peter Martin thinks. Do all the given assignments and you'll get an A. I must warn you the assignments are completely pointless!!!!!! BY FAR THE WORSE PROFESSOR.
great teacher easy
One of the worst classes I have ever had. There is absolutely no structure in this class or information pertaining to the course title. It is supposed to be a health and wellness course but it is far from that. Although some lessons pertain to the topic of health he usually just goes off on a rant about his life and how stupid this generation is.
horrible professor. he doesnt even talk about what the class should be about and gives you easy, tedious assignments. if you want to take this class, just prepare to be insulted
If you want an easy A this is the class to take, however, if you want to actually learn something about health science then you shouldn't take him. The class was molded into what he wanted to teach and strayed completely from any type of "wellness and exercise" Take only if you want an easy A
Mr. Martin was the best online professor I've ever had. He is very involved and truly cares that you succeed. He is incredibly fast with his feedback. I never even cracked my textbook for this course, his online lectures had everything I needed to succeed. I highly recommend this instructor!
If you think he offers nothing and isn't teaching what he is suppose to, you will never succeed in life! This is probably one of the most important classes you could ever take, not for health and wellness, but for the life he is teaching you!
Stupid class. Doesn't teach you anything about nutrition, or health. We meditated in class. Ridiculous. All we watch are speeches.
He has a lot of wisdom and loves to share it with students. That's basically the whole class. He gives out pointless essays that are due at the end of the semester that have nothing to do with what we talk about in class, which varies day to day. If you want an easy A, take him but don't if you want to actually learn.
Traditional students shouldn't take this class, I mean book"smart" students, it's really hard to find such a great professor like him, especially at community college, you are treated as friend, don't come if all you want is easy A, observe and think, talk to him that's how you learn
