Cares a lot about the subject, made it enjoyable.
She's a really nice professor! The homeworks are usually super easy, but she always answers emails really quickly and makes herself available for office hours. Her lectures are really in depth too and she gives lots of examples.
Dr. Martin is very friendly and genuinely wants you to learn the material. Homework for this class was really difficult for me, but her office hours are a live saver. Usually there are 7-15 students that go to her office hours and we all work through the difficult problems together. The exams are tough, but the class is curved!
Very rude professor that doesn't care to help students if they reach out. Class is test heavy
avoid. takes life away from stuff which is supposedly cool. very boring lecturer.
Great Professor. Don't know why she doesn't have a higher rating. Moderate difficulty for an upper division physics class. Readings are usually 1-2 chapters a week but her notes are very thorough. She is very nice in office hours, answered all my questions. HW's are hard, Midterm is easy, final is a little harder but fair.
