He takes random breaks in the middle of a sentence just to say how "cute" our class is... You can either copy what he does or pay attention not both.. while it's great that he does worked examples in class it would be great if he explained what he did and not simply doing it and expecting us to copy it down.

He's a great prof and is really good at explaining concepts, he also does lots of examples in lectures which is very helpful. His tests are fair. I recommend going to the lectures and copying down all his examples, and try to do all the examples by yourself when studying for tests, and you'll do great.

Compared to tests from other sections, his tests are extremely difficult and long. Other sections are way easier, switch out of his section if you can. He is a good teacher, but tends to go very slow through the easier parts and speed through more difficult content. Don't ask questions during class, he will be upset with you for wasting his time.

He went way too fast during class, and I would often have to come back and fill in sections in my notes because in class there wasn't enough time. He's not a terrible teacher, but not the best either. Kind of rude when answering questions and frequently interrupted class to ramble. Tests were long and not enough time would be given.

Took the course over the summer. Does tons of examples and assigns fair questions from the textbook. His tests were packed same with the exam, not hard if you know what you are doing, just time consuming. If you don't study, you won't pass.

Mathieu was a really out-going guy, made lots of jokes and seemed passionate in what he was doing. But he does go on a lot of random tangents. He has also stopped posting the hand-written lectures he's done after October 9th. Still a really great guy but I honestly would not take his class again.

Explains concepts very well and seems well organized. It seemed as though he didn't want students to ask him questions during lectures. Quizzes were quite simple and I really appreciated the time flexibility he offered with them. The final was a nightmare by comparison. I would have preferred a midterm and a lighter final like my other courses.

Honestly I'm confused about him. He's a really good Prof and teaches really well. The grading structure was reasonable. Sometimes he's a bit rude? Also he didn't post any notes as he used to (stopped abruptly) to soft-force attendance. He puts a lot of examples which is good. The course is straightforward. He was *mostly* professional.

Quizzes were easy. I skipped class for 2 months and he stopped posting notes and I still did okay, so you'll be fine. Expect your grade to drop after the exam because you will not finish that exam. In the few days I went to class he seemed like a fun guy and he's pretty funny. Just don't ask dumb questions during class because he might get annoyed.

His lectures were alright but he is very unprofessional. it was uncomfortable to be in his class, wouldn't recommend. talks about the students he dislikes in class. quizzes were fairly easy/straightforward, but the exam was really long with lots of questions and not enough time.

Mathieu is really weird and super passive-aggressive. He will pause the class to single out people for being on their laptops or quietly whispering even if they are not disrupting the class. I would honestly prefer if he were straightforward about what he doesnt like rather than stopping the class to awkwardly point out something he says is "fine".

Test are much harder than other profs, like EXTREMELY different from other sections (8-12 LA compared to 5MC 1LA). Rude towards students who are more or less just minding their own business, tells you the same story's over and over again If you want a enjoyable math experience, go to any other prof

Loves laptops and people using their phones, be sure to talk throughout his lectures he enjoys discussions amongst his students. Get up every two seconds to use the washroom, or just walk around if you want he's very calm

very unprofessional. will go out of his way to embarrass students in front of the whole class. not a great class environment. nobody will ask questions because they will likely be made fun of by matthieu, or he will make you feel bad about correcting something he did wrong. should learn to control his emotions.

I honestly love him as a prof, his teaching style if my favourite as he mainly goes through many examples. All the other bad reviews are mainly just because the people writing them have been personally called out by him and want to get back at him. If you shut up and don't disrupt the class, he's a 11/10 prof.

Overall, his teaching is good. I enjoy his lectures, but I feel that if he were to listen to students instead of ignoring feedback, his overall class and tests would be more enjoyable and manageable. Tests should have similar difficulty across sections and is fairer for all students, their difficulty should be on the same playing field.

Great prof! It was my second time with him. Once in a while he would remind students that they are not forced to come to class as the notes are posted on Brightspace. Big difference to others wrote. Somebody wrote about his tests vs the ones in other sections. Maybe it is the prof in the other sections that were faulty. Have you thought of that?
