Really intelligent and very good teacher. His powerpoint lectures are helpful but doesn't give you all the information, you need to come to class for in depth details. Tests are straightforward. Easy grader and is enthusiastic everyday in class. My only problem is that he gives too much homework for a 100 level class but overall good professor

Friendly, funny guy with immense passion for what he does. His lectures are crystal clear and he loves to make jokes. He provides a half-complete note set so you don't have to feverishly write down everything he says, and generally, you get from it what you put in. If you need your AUCC science credits fulfilled, this is a great class.

Matt is an awesome professor and really knows his stuff. You can tell when a professor loves to teach, or is here just for the research. Students can definitely tell that Matt loves to teach and does a good job of it. He respects his students, and is a really humble guy.

Dr. Camper is the best professor I've had so far. He's super passionate about what he teachers and also super knowledgeable. He makes a required class super interesting and understandable and shows that he cares about students. The class is also easy to pass because the exams are open note and he offers a lot of extra credit.

Matt is literally the best. He truly cares about his students and I'm glad that I have him in my corner. Class was always super interesting and you learn 50 new things each lecture. The tests are open note and the note packet is made for you! I would 100% recommend this course with Matt even if you're a liberal arts major. It's that awesome

If you need to fulfill a science credit take this class! By far the easiest class I have taken at CSU but one of the most fun. If you show up to class and take notes you will do well on exams. He takes all the questions straight from the notes packet. Matt is such an awesome professor and really cares about what he is talking about!

Hands down the best professor I have had in all my years at CSU. He's the nicest, most helpful, most understanding professor out there. He's a total G and I would ABSOLUTELY take his classes again. Highly recommend. All quizzes are open-note, open-peer. and all exams are online and are open note. Just go to class, take some notes, it's easy!!!

He is one of my favorite professors ever. He is so caring and 102 is super easy. The only advice I have is don't not go to classes for a long period of time because there are in random in class quizzes that will affect your grade if you miss more than one.

Matt Camper is definitely one of the best professors I've had at CSU! He is very passionate about his work, cares a lot about his students, and makes lectures fun. The class itself also isn't hard at all, only somewhat difficult aspect is an occasional pop quiz. Would highly recommend Matt and BPSM102!

I was recommended this course by so many people, and it was definitely 100/10. There were online exams (may change because of AI usage) and a few writing assignments. He typically announced pop quizzes. PLEASE TAKE THIS COURSE IF YOU CAN

Matt is an amazing professor, his class is easy and he makes his lectures fun. He gives TONS of extra credit opportunities throughout the year. He does have pop quizzes (4 throughout the semester) but all of them are open note, open friend, and help provided from him and TA's if needed. His grading criteria is clear and he's an overall great person
