Comment:
Very knowledgeable of the material. Has review sessions. This class is information overload which test may cover 8-10 chapters. Good notes won't help here, only memorizing most of the concepts. Make sure you have other easier classes before tackling this one as study time is more than the average.

Honestly, Professor Martin is an extremely intelligent man. Bio 101 is not his passion, he's a paleontologist. Anyway, he did an excellent job teaching his class.

A little bit of a rambler. If you are religious, I might gently warn you that he did bring up many times creation vs. evolution so be aware of that possibility. :)

Comment:
Dr. Martin knows what he's talking about, but his classes are pretty hard. He lectures for about 10-20 chapters, and then gives you a test over it. His lab is great, except when it comes to tests. His lab tests are EXTREMELY difficult. I would recommend taking someone else for lab/lecture if you can.

Comment:
The class was poorly organized and it was difficult to take notes. However, the material was interesting and he was comical at times. His exams were as random as he was, but for the most part they were pretty straightforward. He really doesn't try to trick you, but you do have to study a moderate ammount to get an A in his classes.

Dr. Martin is the****! He is so into what he's teaching, it makes the students want to be into it too. He is very progressive and down to earth. But, you need to write down everything he says (when he's on topic). As far as tests go, as long as you study ALL your notes, you'll be fine. My favorite professor ever!

Absolutely love Dr. Martin! One of my all-time favorite professors! Foward-thinker, brings great, new ideas to the classroom. Also had BIO 221 with him, and loved both classes.

Comment:
He realizes that zoology is a very involved subject so he breaks it down and lets you know the main stuff that you'll need for the test. Uou have review sessions before that tell you EXACTLY what is on the exams. As far as zoology professors go, I would highly recommend him. Yes you have to study but hello, we are in college haha.

Comment:
Dr. Martin is a really cool guy. He makes zoology easy and fairly interesting. There are 3 lecture tests(multiple choice) and 2 lab tests(identification of pictures.) Zoo is nothing but memorization, and Dr. Martin is straightforward about what you need to memorize.

Comment:
Lectures had little to do with the book. Tests were hard. The lab was pretty easy if you're willing to write a good (group) research paper. I made a B in there. He was awfully scatterbrained and often went off on tangents, but he cares about his students and the class could have been much worse.

Comment:
Dr. Martin is a very nice guy and will help you out a bit, but he is very unclear on his tests. Hardly ever uses the book and most of his PowerPoints have nothing to do with the tests. Made a B, but I have no clue how because I didn't do well on the tests. Looks exactly like George Carlin, which is awesome!

Martin is a scatter-brain, but a good teacher. Fun class. 300 level ecology isn't that fun, but as good as could be. Lost my final exam, still passed the class with a B.

He is very unclear during lecture. He basically talks in circles. His tests are almost impossible to pass.
