He knows what he's doing and is very helpful to those who need it.

Go to class and participate and you will do well

Finals are easy, regular tests are really hard. very helpful.

Very helpful teacher and caring.

Average student will not do good in this class. Our average test score on the last test was 58%, that should tell you something.

can relate the material very well. go to class and pay attention. dont really have to even read the book

He was better at teaching Phliosophy he really kept my attention His ecn is confusing but if you really try you'll get through it ok

He is a very nice guy. A little soft spoken, but grades fairly.

He is a fairly good instructor, and he is on the board of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. He really knows economics well, and is an advocate for free markets.

He is a great teacher, he makes the class interesting and is willing to help students if they don't understand. I would recommend him to everyone.

A very intelligent professor who truly cares about what he's teaching. Very insightful and brings concepts into perspective through real life examples. I recommend him to everyone.

Although I was Hotel/Restaurant Mgt (1996), I learned lot in his class, and still carry some of the basic concepts and philosphy that I learned. He was a GREAT teacher. You will realize how much you have learned once you are in the 'real' world!. I would take a contining Ed. class through him versus Haywood anyday of the week!

This man is the most intelligent man that Northwood employs...it is too bad he is probably under paid. Very helpful, not an easy grade, but you learn something by taking him.

Very smart teacher that makes learning enjoying.

he is a very nice intelligent man. knows his stuff.

Most of the bad reviews are likley from students who didn't want to work hard. However, he is an excellent teacher who pushes his students. He is passionate about what he does. No grade inflation here. Great teacher!

I learned stuff without having to read the book. I think he was a good teacher.

Dr. Matcheck is that one professor that makes school worth attending.

I believe he's avery smart guy but ite hard teaching a class that no one gives a damn about

I believe he's avery smart guy but ite hard teaching a class that no one gives a damn about

great.

he's helpful, if you ask for help

I thought he was an absolutely wonderful teacher. He is strict and has high expectations and does get frustrated with his classes. But if you go to class, participate, and talk to him. you will get a decent grade. He wants his students to gain something from his class. I would definitely take him again. But he is not an easy A.

I took his classes about 15 years ago. I was a foreign student. I really enjoy his classes. He is a strict professor but easy to get along with professionally. Personally he can be a good friend until even today.

Awesome guy. Took him in a mini.

Not only was Mr. Matcheck one of the best professors and genuinely interesting people I've meet, he has written numerous recommendation letters for me , years after the fact! I took his class in 2007 as a freshman and absolutely loved it! Granted Econ was my major, he makes the topic very fun, and does not "lecture at you" he aims for discussion!

The Professor taught a difficult subject, but made it more 'human' by introducing study sheets that is helpful to students. The Professor had a very human and down-to-earth approach to his teaching style and understood it was NOT an easy subject. He went above and beyond to meet at odd times and made it his mission to see me succeed.

You'll love Matchek. His classes are so much fun and you learn great stuff.

People like him make you want to become an econ major. Very nice person and he knows so much. You can take a lot from Matcheck

if you plan to go to graduate studies, you have to take this course and the professor rocks

Learning interesting stuff without stress. Since then I took another class with him and loved it too. Matchek is cool

one of the best professor at Northwood, great interaction in the classroom

Matcheck is very competent and understanding of your circumstances. Class was fun and we covered a lot.

The guy is an expert in the area and loves to teach it.

this coursewith Matcheck is worth a whole semester of higher education

All Northwood students should take this course. Very thought provoking lessons and he's a spring of knowledge.

he's kind and very smart, ask questions in class and you can learn much from him

Everyone should take this course- very interesting lectures and the instructor was always ready to help us.

You couldn't ask for a better professor in economics. You'll have to work hard for your grade but he's very flexible and gives great advice.

a truly amazing professor who cares about his students and the subjects he teaches

Awesome instructor. He teaches at a pace that makes it impossible not to follow. Matcheck has a great personality and relates to students very well.

A very inspiring teacher. You absolutely must attend lectures, lecture questions will be on exams. It's an easy A if you put forth the effort.

Matcheck is nothing short of awesome. I wish he could teach all my classes. He made what I thought would be dry economics subject very interesting and relevant.

He is a very good professor with nice personality that shows in class. I would definitely take his class again.

Inspiring and knowledgeable instructor. A life changing course. You must take economics with him!

I learned a lot and the prof has great connections--will helps students get jobs and internships when they excel in the course.

A really a great guy. He loves his job. Matcheck is very engaging and cares about his students' success in his courses and beyond.

He challenges you further than most professor I've taken at Northwood.

very knowledgeable and passionate about teaching economics, hard but also one of the most helpful classes I took here

Matchek is an awesome professor, you will learn so much from him.

very interesting and provocative readings and a very kind and smart professor

He knows his stuff and expects you to learn it pretty well.

I enjoyed the class, the professor has picked interesting readings but you can't cover too much in just 50 minutes per week.

the class is fun and easy, good to know what Northwood stands for

I liked the course and the instructor.

He'll talk your ears off but he gives great lessons about why freedom works.

Dr. Matcheck is arguably the greatest lecturer I have ever had a class with. His classes are taught so that complex economic concepts are presented in a fluid, understandable manner. You would benefit from always being in class, as his lectures are not only the best way to learn, but also hard to replace. Every NU student should learn from him.

Prof. Matcheck brings many interesting concepts to the table and teaches them well. He is very much lecture oriented and sways from his slideshows most of the times. Be prepared to read as his test and quizzes almost directly relate to the weekly readings. Although he does teach these concepts in class, he pulls specifics for the test from the book

Matcheck is like your conservative grandpa, he has alot of opinions but is a decent enough person and teacher if you just talk to him, he is more than willing to help out if you need it, Lectures are not the most interesting, but it was also a subject that many people find boring. go to class, do the work, you will do well
