I agree with the other review, Martinez is the nicest professor I've had so far! I hate writing, but the topics were interesting and that made it much more bearable. His grading is also very lenient, so I didn't have to stress too much about my essays and could focus on other classes. Would definitely recommend taking EngComp 3/3D with him.

Hes really nice. 10/10 would recommend. he's also understanding. great class TAKE THIS CLASS

I enrolled in this class because it was one of the only ones left but BEST BEST class and professor you could possibly take for EngComp 3D!! He is so charismatic!! You will want to actually go to class and it is never boring. The readings he assigns are actually interesting too ! I was so scared to take a writing class because i suck at it but this class was actually ENJOYABLE.

I really enjoyed this class with Dr. Martinez. He is super nice and really understanding. The readings are actually interesting to read. I really enjoyed the essay prompts and look forward to writing my essays. He really cares about his students and really understands the struggles of what they are going through. His grading is very fair also. He really made the class relaxing and enjoyable. His class really brightened my day and I looked forward to coming to class. Looking back, I can definitely say I really improved a lot as a writer in a very short amount of time. I really hope I can take him again for another writing class. Take this class with him!

Professor Martinez is a great teacher and he always made his live sessions funny and interesting. I recommend everyone to take this class. He gives everyone the opportunity to succeed and will improve your writing.

I took engcomp 3 with Dr. Martínez. Dr. Martínez is a very engaging professor, and he makes engcomp very interesting. The readings he assigns are very relevant to what’s going on in the world as well as the papers that we are required to write. The only thing is he isn’t 100% clear what he is looking for in the papers, but his grading is quite lenient. When I read my papers from the past quarter, I believe my writing has significantly improved. I highly recommend taking this class with professor Martínez!!

Professor Martinez is a very funny and passionate about teaching, he genuinely cares about his students and wants everyone to get better writing skills. I took this class my first year and I do not think I have had a professor that cares this much. If you need help he is super helpful and resourceful, do not be afraid to let him know if their is something going on.

I really enjoyed this class! Professor Martinez is extremely sweet and engaging and it is clear that he works hard to make the class interesting and straightforward. We focused on relevant issues and frequently discussed current events, an aspect I especially enjoyed. There were quite a few readings for this course but they weren't too long and were usually pretty fascinating. Martinez only assigned three major writing assignments the whole quarter and gave ample time and feedback for each. Overall I would highly recommend this professor and class, on top of being actually interesting and relatively easy Martinez is so kind and funny!

This review is for both Peter Sellars and Andrew Martinez, since they both taught the class. The class is very easy, and is structured to make you learn more about yourself, rather than to get a certain letter grade. The class helped me reflect on my life and what I wanted in the future. I learned better ways to live my life and this class helped me re-examine my goals. Attendance is mandatory, but it's only once a week for an hour (even though it's listed as 3). Discussion is definitely mandatory though, but I found that discussion was fairly enlightening. Even if you miss class, just let your TA know and they'll let you make things up. Everybody is very understanding and kind, and I definitely enjoyed this class.
