    "comment": "Different teaching style than most teachers. It is ESSENTIAL that you do the readings. Little is actually taught in class but if you read and then go to class then class is helpful. Automatic 100 on homework but doing it actually helps. To sum it up you must put a lot of time into teaching yourself the material.",

His lectures do tend to go on strange tangents from time to time, and he never really finishes problems completely. Tests are very hard but he's extremely generous with partial credit. Tough class over all, but Martin is a decent prof.",

However, the homework doesn't require too much time, and the tests are reasonable.  He even let us resubmit our graded tests for some extra credit points.",

Tests are about average difficulty, but totally manageable as long as you do the homework he assigns, which isn't too hard at all. (Typically 2-3 problems each class period)",
