He introduces students to new interesting topics, inviting them to keep learning outside of class.
A very knowledgeable professor with fully hands on experiments.
His courses are designed to where you definitely have to know the material to get a decent grade in the course.
Professor Mathew is an excellent lecturer! His technocratic expertise in Ethical hacking is very impressive! He really cares about his students and is always willing to provide additional support at any time.
Very competent, open minded, receptive, and extremely knowledgeable professor with years of teaching & development experience. Prof. Alex keeps the class engaged with interesting topics and stimulates class discussion. Amazing experience.
The best professor I have ever had and probably ever will have. I had him for both CPSC277 and CPSC 440. He is super passionate about the criteria and caring towards his students. His classes are mostly practical based with a small amount of outside work. If you have the chance, PLEASE take a class with him, I promise you will not regret it!!
A. Mathews is a gift from the heavens & is awesome! He is the kindest, most genuine professor that I have ever met and I wish that he could teach all of the classes at Bethany College. Cares about his students more than just about any professor I've had. He is so down to earth and wants his students to be super successful.
He is awesome. You end up with real time labs over 70 % of the time during the semester. Feel great with his explanations. Nice professor.
Matthew's is the best teacher ever! He makes things really understandable and uses lots of fun ways of explaining concepts especially in his labs.. for sure one of my favorite professors on campus who gives real time study.
Dr. Matthews is an amazing professor. His courses demand a lot of real labs studying. He is always willing to spend countless hours to help when needed. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed in life.
He is s very dedicated to teaching his students. He genuinely loves his job. Class was really interesting and I learned a lot because of his teaching style.
A great human been that is strong and filled with good information and advices to students. Many students need a person like this to go back to every once in a while. Thank you for everything Prof. Alex!
He's very interactive and relates a lot to real life. Great professor, if you have the chance to take his courses then I highly recommend it. Fully practical oriented courses. You really love it.
My favorite professor at Bethany. He is hilarious and extremely passionate about what he teaches. His class is entertaining, educational, and the best. Even stopping by his office, he is just as prepared to answer questions as he is in class. I would highly recommend taking a class with him.
Dr. Matthew is extremely helpful and is a great teacher. Lectures were entertaining Easy to look at, too :) Definitely take him! He uses real life examples that are very interesting. One of the best teachers at Bethany!
Literally the best professor ever! When I have worked with other professors in the past, they rarely remember my name and sometimes do not even recognize me. On the other hand, Dr. Alex Mathew cares equally.
Amazing lectures. Bethany's legend. He explains everything really well with organized and helpful notes! He really cares about his students and does everything he can to help them succeed.
Awesome lectures that have great examples and his note style is extremely easy to refer back to when working on homework/studying.
The best professor Ive had so far at Bethany. He is clear and concise with his explanations. He comes prepared and is able to teach the material very well. All of his lectures are uploaded online a couple hours before.
A professor that really enjoys what he does. He grades fair and is very accessible. He also gets the whole class involved in the lecture often singling out students to answer questions, but never in a mean or derogatory way.
Alex is hands down the best prof I have had at Bethany so far. He does an amazing job teaching his courses and it shows how truly passionate he is about helping others learn. The material is unique to the course and the way he teaches it. He is awesome!
Well-respected professor. He's really as good as the reviews suggest, and is great at teaching! Very understanding of situations and will regularly push back deadlines. His humor and care make the class interactive and entertaining.
My favorite professor of all time. Funny but teaches in an effective way. You need to have him as your security/forensics professor!
Alex is one of the few gems who seems to be born to teach. He is so clearly passionate about what he teaches and it makes the somewhat difficult content so much easier. He is open with all of his students and makes the classroom feel so interesting. Alex is truly one of the greatest teachers I have ever encountered, anyone is lucky to have him.
Alex Mathew is INCREDIBLE. His class made me excited to actually learn security. He really puts in the effort to engage with students and incorporates humor into each one of his lectures. I haven't met a single person who's taken him that didn't love him. Please PLEASE take him if given the chance!
Mathews is one of the best lecturers that Ive had and does such a great job of keeping his students engaged. He was very understanding during COVID and is one of the best profs that Ive had. You should take this class.
Alex is a super hilarious and nice guy!!! especially during the pandemic, his online lectures were the only course I wanted to join, he's like a twitch streamer lol! just can't miss any Rick and Morty references lol. for the lab work you can tell that he put a lot of effort into them, they are really well-designed !
Very entertaining and engaging lectures, especially for a difficult/dry subjects. Also a very nice guy, genuinely cares a whole lot about all of his students. Office hours are extremely helpful.
Mathew is a gem! One of the best professors in the universe!!!! If you have the option to take his class, take it!
People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care, and Alex shows this better than any other professor. Take this class & you will be amazed with real-time tools for this course!
Definitely one of the best professors I have had at Bethany.
Alex is a great professor!! He genuinely cares so much about his students and wants to see them succeed. He cares more about learning and wants you to enjoy learning than he does about grading. He gives lots of bonus points, is helpful when you ask a question, and responds quickly to messages. Would recommend to anyone!!
I LOVE THIS MAN!!!!! He's amazing. Super caring, kind, and understanding. Easy class, interesting lectures. Hands on activities so you actually understand the material, plus he prepares you for the tests well. Best class Ive ever taken!!!! TAKE. HIM!!
As a soon to be graduate, I can honestly say he is the BEST professor at the College. He goes way far beyond what he needs to, to make sure the students are satisfied in every way. Teaches the concepts in multiple ways until it is grasped.
The best professor I will ever have! Seriously take this class you will not regret it.
I loved MATHEW! He knows how to lecture well and will actually get to know you.
One of the best professors that I have ever had! Show up, do the assignments, and study for the tests to get an A. He knows students by name and is always friendly!
Amazing Professor! Makes an effort to know his students and is very accommodating to students if they need help with anything! Attendance is crucial for points!
Dr. Alex is great, he knows how to teach well which is enjoyable and makes the class not feel like a drag. He often asks questions that makes you think, and likes it when a couple of students share what they are thinking. The assignments are pretty straight forward.
Amazing and super caring professor. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY take him.
I took two of his classes and he is one of my favorite professors. I learned a lot from both courses and he actually inspired me to minor inCYBERSECURITY. Highly recommend Professor A . MATHEW!!
If you are given the chance to take a class with Alex, DO IT! I have him for CPSC151 which is Python programming. This was my very first experience with coding and I was nervous! But Alex made my learning experience amazing. Lots of Fun/Challenging Labs.
The perfect Computer Science professor. A rather unique blend of knowledge with occasional jokes making the session worth its while. His lectures are lucid and should be suffice if you really pay attention.
Even though the topics covered could be complex, Professor Mathew was able to explain these topics in an easy to digest and concise manner through his in-person lectures. He was also passionate about the material and was able to merge theoretical concepts with practical examples which helped solidify the material.
Alex is a really great instructor, I've taken a few classes from him and loved it every time. His lectures are interesting, clear, and informative and he does a great job being available to help students.
Alex is the best professor in the world! He genuinely cares about all of his students and ensures that you learn in a group setting without worrying about your grade. There is little work outside of class and as long as you pay attention and participate in lecture you'll do just fine. I would 100000% recommend Dr. Alex.
I gave thanks every single day I was in this class. This is the best class I have taken at Bethany, and the best professor I have had to date. He is very approachable, and cares about the success of each student. He makes each class interesting, fun, and the material digestible. Do well on the exams and it will be a breeze.
