Great professor. He really knows the subject material, but carefully emphasizes the important information. He makes sure his instruction is very clear, because the subject can get pretty murky. He's great to talk to and he makes himself very available for help, especially right before exams.

Dr. Matthew is amazing! CPSC 450 is an innately difficult class, but Matthew makes it easy. Lectures are hilarious and SO informative. Weekly quizzes are short and simple, and tests won't surprise you if you're prepared. Dr. Matthew gives you all the resources for success, so come to class, study, and you'll get an A!

I have so many good things to say about Dr. Mathew. What would normally be a difficult class was made so much easier. The lectures were easy to follow and understandable and lab manuals are adorable. Quizzes were easy, homework could be annoying but doable, and exams were straightforward. He genuinely cares about his students and it shows.

Super organized, passionate, and a friendly/caring professor who is always willing to take the time to help students. He will address a concept until it is understood, and lays out the course pretty clearly for you which makes it significantly less stressful.
