Very nice, passionate about teaching, and is accessible and understanding. However, don't feel like I got much out of the class. Lecture was mostly discussions that centered around students getting called on to speak. The papers (Lots!), especially the 2 book reports, often felt more like busywork than actually helping me learn anything.

Jen Martin should have never become a Professor. Her abilities to teach would only be helpful for an illiterate 5th grader. Despite her total lack of knowledge on environmental studies, she speaks about critical thinking as if she has just discovered the concept. Each word out of her mouth is pre-typed and offers nothing beneficial to this earth.

This class is the biggest waste of time. For a lower division, you have a final project, final essay, AND final exam (on every reading shes given...). For that final exam, you need to memorize the author's full names, background (ie. where they studied, accomplishments, etc. ), and the year that their work was published. Its so ridiculous.

Very passionate about her lectures, but they weren't applicable. Her ability to pick TA's is awful, the worst i've had on campus. They're incompetent w/ superiority complexes, the way they are grading for lower div classes. Good luck getting your grades back until 2 days before final grades are due in gold, and the quarter is long over!

Didn't stop lecture when a student passed out and started seizing in the middle of the hall. I think this speaks a lot about the type of teacher she is--she just doesn't care about her students and their success.

Shes passionate about the material but the course itself is all over the place. Your grade is based on a project that you work on the whole quarter but the intial proposal wasnt graded until week 6 so you only get 2 weeks until presentations. The lectures are mainly her reading from her notes. Its not hard to get a good grade but its painful.
