Comment:
His class is an interesting class. His lectures are hard to follow at first; however, he is easy to follow after you get to know his style of lecturing. I recommend taking only one course with him because his other courses seem to cover the same material.

Very hard to understand, mumbles. Some very offensive comments made while teaching. I found him difficult to deal with. Will never take another class from him again. On the plus side, he is a nice person.

Comment:
Colin is a smart guy. Graduated from Harvard with a PhD. However, he is a little hard to understand, but when you can, he is HILARIOUS! Think: Ozzy meets Hank Hill. Loves rhodedendrons.

Dr. Martindale is an interesting and probably misunderstood sort. His class was interesting, although I suspect teaching is not his first passion. By any measure, he is one of the best psychology has to offer.

You can never understand what he says most the time. I didn't learn much, his exams had grammatical mistakes and it was hard to understand what he actually wanted????????????

Comment:
He wrote his own book but leaves a lot out compaired to other text books of the same type. He's nice but should be retired by now. The campus should enforce the no smoking in buildings law with this guy and tell him he should not smoke in the halls.

Comment:
Sensation and Perception class could not understand a single word this guy was saying. He's obviously like 70 or 80 years old and need to retire. Draws circles and lines on board but noone understand what they mean or what he is saying. Funny old dude.

Comment:
Martindale is an interesting guy, and a great sense of humor, when you can actually hear him. He's quite difficult to understand in class though (talks too low), and he smells funny (probably all the smoking in the office).

This teacher mumbles too much. His tests are ridiculious, half the class failed. He needs a megaphone so that you can understand and hear what he is saying.

He chain smokes in his office, there are no windows in his office. He doens't like teaching, he only does it because he likes to do experiments and research, good professor though. Smart guy.
