David Martinez HESP214 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 02/22/2024	Took him during the Spring 2023 semester as a gen-ed (also because I thought this would be an interesting class to take) and I have NO REGRETS. If he taught more courses (that I, a CS major, could take) I would definitely take it. Dr. Martinez makes this course super fun and the coursework is honestly very light (I would often finish any assignment during class). Quizzes are very easy as they are based on the readings, and the class has NO midterms, just a final presentation. This class is by far one of my favorites, I learned a lot and was genuinely interested in all the topics covered in class. Not only this class is interesting and fun, the class is very engaging and thought-provoking. I could tell Dr. Martinez is passionate about what he is teaching, and it honestly makes this class more enjoyable. I HIGHLY recommend taking this course WITH Dr. Martinez. If you are here for an easy A, you will not only be left with an A+, but you will 100000% have a happy and satisfied learning experience.
David Martinez HESP214 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/02/2023	I took this class on a whim, but I am really glad I did. Professor Martinez made the class really enjoyable and by the end it became my favorite class of the semester. The discussions are really engaging and Professor Martinez does his best to make it fun. The class itself is discussion based, but there are quizzes almost every class. So don't skip, but also why would you want to! Take this class if you want a really easy and interesting Gen Ed. Martinez is definitely the way to go
David Martinez HESP214 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 01/29/2023	Great professor that loves he content he teaches and makes classes interesting. No need to worry about grades as almost everything is pretty straightforward, and you'll most definitely get an A as long as you do your work. Very fun class with interesting topics.
David Martinez HESP214 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/12/2022	One of my favorite classes, He genuinely seems interested in teachings and always made the lectures engaging I ended up learning the content really well and he was really flexible grades wise. There are daily quizzes which he often drops at least 1 or 2 questions from and a discussion with discussion question each day of class but if you put at least a little thought into them you should be fine.

Alison Robey HESP214 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/14/2021	Professor Robey is such an open professor, allowing you to contact her as much as you need with questions about assignments. There are no tests in this class, only 4 major writing assignments based on in-class discussions, one group presentation, and a final reflection which are straightforward. Honestly, she did a really good job making the media and empirical pieces be applicable to many students and I felt like I actually learned something in this class.
Jared Novick HESP214 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/25/2021	Took online and asynchronous. He always made sure that students knew he was there for us. The class itself can be hard if you're not experienced in reading and analyzing scientific papers. Read a couple web articles a week and a scientific paper ~every 2 weeks. Workload also includes writing summaries for 4 scientific papers. Final is a paper reflecting on what you learned.

Jared Novick HESP214 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 10/29/2019	Dr. Novick is absolutely the best. He is super clear in his lectures and made the class super easy to understand even if you have little to no science background (I'm a business major). I loved this class, it was an easy class that got me thinking differently than the rest of my core classes!
