Dr. Martin is the best professor I've ever taken at KSU. He is so knowledgeable and respectful and willing to help any student.

Not sure what happened this semester, but I don't think I've ever been more unsatisfied with a class. He was out the first month of class then never seemed to care about class.

Great guy and great teacher! He's more than willing to help if you ask.

You'll have 4 quizzes over readings, 3 mandatory tests (plus an optional 4th), and a weekly HW assignment. He's tough on grammar!!

Amazing prof, take him! No textbook needed, he has a lecture video for every topic, all you have to do is watch it and take notes plus read an article and write a summary, which he doesn't grade for accuracy. best grading policy, gives you answers for quizzes, test grades curved so that the highest test grade is a 100. Taking him next semester.

This is a hard class but he was so helpful. He will go over topics as many times as you need and wants his students to succeed. I think he is the best professor for this class. He seems intimidating at first but I promise he isn't! He is actually funny too. TAKE HIM!!!

Honest, funny, responds to emails quite quickly, helpful, and caring. There is quite a bit of content, but if you pay attention and do a bit of studying, you'll do well in the class. He knows his stuff pretty well, so if you have any questions or need any help you can always go to him and ask. He is accessible inside and outside of the classroom.

Tim is an amazing professor, I have nothing bad to say about him. There were 4 exams and you could drop the lowest grade (potentially not have to take the final) so make sure you study and do well on the first 3. We had a lot of quizzes and article summaries but they were all easy 100s. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!!

To be completely honest, this is a difficult course. However, Professor Martin is a great teacher. He makes the class so that the information is a bit easier to understand. The exam study guides outline everything that can be on the test. 4 tests (lowest gets dropped), and the tests are curved. 10 quizzes and 10 article summaries (easy 100s).

He is honest about the work and the effort you need. He really wants you to learn and succeed in his class. If you need help,have questions,or need more time,email him, he will work with you. Dr. Martin provides you with all the materials you need to succeed. He demonstrates SPSS in class and is willing to do it many times. Take this class!

Oh my goodness, Dr. Martin is an amazing professor! He answers emails quickly, has entertaining but impactful lectures, wants you to succeed, and is just a great person in general. Psychology isn't an easy subject, but he breaks it down in a way that's really easy to understand! And if you don't, he is always open to questions. Take him!

Prof Martin is not a bad guy. He will give pop quizzes after the completion of ppts but he gives the answers before the 2nd attempt. Note Heavy, tests are cumulative which I did not like. Must take tests and quizzes in class. Not an impossible class by any means but if your memory recall isn't great beware.

Dr. Martin is amazing! This class has difficult content and a lot of it so be prepared to work hard but he is great at teaching it. The cumulative tests are difficult, but he gives two chances on quizzes which is helpful. Definitely be prepared to work hard and memorize a lot but he is just a great professor with a lot of good experience.

Great and very very nice man. The class itself is heavy and needs a lot of studying and notes. He makes it easier and a bit more understandable. Exams are kind of difficult but just study. He gives pop quizzes but gives two chances and goes over it after the first chance. Highly recommend, he was super chill.

There are only a few assignments for the entire class (quizzes, chapter summaries, tests). He's a very easy grader. The content of the course can be difficult to understand so it is best to show up to class.

This was the hardest class in terms of content that I've ever taken. If it wasn't for Dr. Martin, I wouldn't have passed. In fact, I finished with a 100 in the class. He is very lecture-heavy but loves answering questions and having discussions about the content. He'll administer random quizzes throughout the semester but gives two attempts on them

The content of this class is hard and not fun and his tests are fairly hard, but 2 attempts on quizzes and gives u answers so easy. Had to read a book and do chapter summaries, also not hard...easy grader. Lots of material so def need to study for the tests but he does a curve. He is very laid back and can be funny. Don't stress, you will be fine!

I have never written a review on this site but I created an account just to say that Tim Martin is the best professor I've had in all four years at KSU. Pop quizzes but he goes through the answers and gives you a retake, study guides are exactly what you need for the tests, and his lectures are engaging and actually teach you stuff. 10/10.

Honestly, the course was very hard, but he made it to where we actually understood the concepts. Make sure you find good study methods or you will learn some in this class because it is CONTENT HEAVY! But, to make your life easier - take him. Pop quizzes, but gives you a second try on them!

Had him for a 4-week summer course. It was very manageable like 1.5 hours of work everyday (lecture+lecture summary/quizzes/readings). The tests were very similar to what we learned in lectures and the study guide he posts on d2l. He was lenient with late/incorrect submissions and he responds to emails quickly. He gave me a great intro to psych.

Dr Martin is very laid back! There are 1-2 chapter summaries due every week but you can just skim the reading for answers. He does do pop quizzes but he gives you 2 tries and goes over it in between. Tests are fairly difficult but he does curve them if nobody gets a 100. Would definitely recommend it was not a hard class to get an A in.
