He is a good math teacher and all in all he likes his cats.

He is a very laid back teacher, and he makes math fun! He really cares how his students do in class, and his lectures are really organized and helpful for the tests. I really enjoyed this class!

Really good math teacher. Has a good grasp of the subject. The worst thing about him is that he sets too many rules and regulations as if we are in an army school. Too many do and don'ts......... He is only best at teaching and is very helpful otherwise I didn't really like him that much personally.

He is a pretty good teacher. He goes out of his way to help and will meet with you just about anytime. I, however, found the class really hard and failed the first time but if you do the suggested homework and ask questions you will be fine. Hes really strict and seems unapproachable but he really isnt.

Very strict, although I want to punch people who leave their phones on in class or roll in 25 minutes late, so I agree with him. I didn't like him personally AT ALL, but he is a good teacher. And an insufferable Cubs fan.

Matt is an Excellent Teacher. If you have to take Stats, take it with Matt. Really, I know you hear alot of nasty things, but honestly, I was so scared to take this class and came out with an A. You have to go to class and do the homework, but he is always willing to help you, all you have to do is ask. He is a great teacher, hands down!!!! TAKE HI

Matt is a great teacher. Now just because he's a great teacher doesn't mean that the material is easy. He makes sure that you understand the material and is always around to help. I emailed him once at 11 at night and got a response 15 mins later. If you want to LEARN STATS, TAKE MATT. Its not going to be a breeze but its totally worth it.

PROS: Very helpful, test/quiz problems are straight from the homework, avail outside of class for help. CONS: Homework is "suggested" and not turned in for credit, miss a day-miss alot so attendance is important. Very good teacher despite previous reviews. Highly recommend!

Overall I appreciate this professors straight forward style. He places the responsibility ball where it should be - square in the student's court. Quizzes and Exams are taken from suggested homework. Listen closely this concise, somewhat monotone prof. leaves a trail of breadcrumbs that will lead straight to an A.

Mr. Moe is the best professor I have ever had. Everyone should take him for everything. He really wants his classes to be full, and he doesn't mind if you text in class. Mr. Moe, watcha doin', Mr. Moe, where ya goin', Mr. Moe, here I am!

The class was difficult for me personally, but Matt goes out of his way to be available for any questions. You HAVE TO BE IN CLASS though to get the proper instruction or you will get behind. Overall one of the best instructors Kish has to offer. He answers ALL questions. You just have to ask!And DO the suggested homework!It will help tremendously!

Mr. Read is very available for help. He is also very clear about what is expected for this course. As long as you listen to what he expects you to do, you will do well in this class. When reading the other opinions of Mr. Read's class, I think those students did not follow the instructions in class or the syllabus. Mr. Read is very straight-forward

If you want to learn math, learn it from him. He's very clear about his expectations. His lectures are very easy to understand. He expects adults, so if you don't do homework just because you don't have to, you might not pass. Very good instructor!

I was scared about STATS, but Matt made the class fun. He explained everthing needed to pass. All you have to do is pay attentionm take notes, attend class & STUDY! those of you that gave poor ratings obviously did not do those things. He is a grat teacher & have recommended him to other students.

Above all else Matt is readily available to help if you have any questions. He explains things thoroughly and wants you to understand and do well in his class. He has a sense of humor but expects his students to act like adults. He is definitely one of the top teachers at Kish.

Attendance is always recommended. Matt Read is always trying to make himself available for questions both in/out of office/class hours. While HW is not mandatory nor graded, the questions are on quizzes and exams. Also, make sure to study for quizzes because you are only given 10/15 minutes. Matt Read is a good teacher.

Matt is an amazing teacher. He is very organized and easy to follow. He suggests you do your homework(he does not collect it). I learned that if you don't do your homework, you will struggle. He uses a lot of homework questions for tests and quizzes. He is readily available to help. I would definitely recommend anyone to take his classes.

Math is not my subject, so I was very pleased to have a professor who was so willing to help me with the material. He is almost always available to answer questions and go over homework with you. The quizzes and exams use problems pulled right out of the textbook. Do not miss any classes or you will have a lot of ground to cover!!!

230 231 The guy knows what he's doing. You gotta go to class and you have to learn. He's not gonna give you the answers. He makes you work for your grade. It's college guys, not grade school. These other reviews sound like people who don't want to work for their grades. Go to class, be respectful, work hard, you'll get the grade you worked for.

Stats is hard but TAKE IT WITH HIM...He comes off scary and is very strict, but he is nice guy. Don't be lazy cause he is very helpful. My #1 advice is to DO YOUR HOMEWORK. They ARE the SAME questions on the quizzes and exams. If you do this you WILL pass. I went into the final with a A and passed with a A. Once again, strict but DO THE HOMEWORK.

Matt is an excellent instructor, he has some odd jokes and is a bit strict, but he is very clear with the material. Attendance and HW are not required, but YOU MUST go to class & do the homework in order to pass, he takes hw ?'s and puts them on the test. He is almost always available for questions with tons of office hours.

A very particular instructor, but he lays that out in the first class. Stops several times during examples to make sure you don't have questions. Uses the entire time to lecture - and that is a good thing. Tons of office hours. One of the best instructors at Kish.

Good instructor. I felt he was a little dependent on the use of a calculator when it came to students taking an exam. Other than that he explained everything very well and was always willing to help.

Good instructor. He is good at explaining and stops every so often to see if students have questions. Kind of came off a little rude when I asked him for help after class so I never went to any of his office hours, but he is very available for those who need help. This class was really easy for me. Do & understand the homework and you will pass

I'm very glad I took this class with Read. I was a little nervous for this being my first time taking any calc course. He will annoy you to go in for help...so therefore there really is no reason to not pass his class. He wants to see everyone succeed!!

awesome teacher!!!! did not pass his class but def looking forward to taking it again.

Excellent instructor. He doesn't grade the suggested homework, but this is college not high school. Work on the homework so you are prepared for the quizzes and tests! He is willing to meet you almost anytime and any place if you can't make it to his office hours. I see no reason to not be able to pass this class unless you're just being lazy.

I am horrible at math, but Matt explains everything so clear, it made this class easier for me. Homework is not required to do, but highly recommend doing it, he takes questions from homework and uses them for tests and quizzes. DO NOT slack in the course.

Matt was the easiest professor I have had yet. He is very clear with what he wants- do your (optional) homework and the tests are a breeze. If you are ever confused, just go in and ask for help, he is extremely willing to help. But actually, just do the homework (and pay attention to what you're doing) and review class notes before exams. Easy!

He didn't suck!

Matt will tell you to do your homework and please do IT! The homework questions are on the test and quizzes. He is VERY picky with labels and explanations on test and quizzes. If you took precalc or calc and maybe even trig in high school this class will be very easy for you. If you do the homework and look over notes for the tests you'll get an A.

DO NO I REPEAT DO NOT MISS THIS CLASS FOR ANYTHING- if you do, be prepared to be super lost the next day in class. I recommend you find a friend in the class that understands the material incase you miss class so they can explain what you missed. No, he doesn't grade homework, but the tests and quizzes are literally the homework questions.

Matt Read is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. He gives lots of opportunities to ask questions during class and is available through office hours and email. Although the homework is not mandatory, I highly recommend doing it since the problems are very similar to those on the tests. He's very approachable.

I thought he was a pretty decent teacher. As long as you show up to his class and do the homework it should be pretty easy. I took his class over the summer so I wasn't too attentive but I did my homework and got a B in the class. I hardly studied for the tests and quizzes and still did good on them from doing the homework.

Matt Read is a great teacher. His lectures are pretty clear if you go to class, read the book, and the print-outs. I love his jokes and that he's also widely available both in and outside of class. Some say that he's a hard teacher, but he's not. This is college people! You have to manage yourselves. He can't do it for you while holding your hand.

He is very helpul! Teaches very well! And he knows what he is talking about. Everybody who takes one of his classes should pay attention to his advices about the class, because they truly help.

I have taken both Introductory Statistics and Business Calculus with Matt. He is, without a doubt, one of the best teachers I've had. He may be a bit quirky at times, but I feel he is an engaging, passionate, and humorous teacher. He is extremely available on and off campus. Show up, participate, do the suggested homework, and study!

Matt is a great professor, he really wants everyone to succeed. Make sure you write every detail down during lecture or you will not understand fully when reworking the problems at home. Focus on the problems that are done during lecture as there are always similar ones on the exams. He tells you exactly what to know its just up to you to learn it.

He is a really hard teacher who's grading system is very rigid. He does not give out extra credit, and there is no make-up for tests or quizzes. Even though homework is required to and essential to pass the class, it does not count towards your overall grade. He is a nice and easily accessible-out-of-class teacher.

Great Teacher, dont skip class or else you wont pass the class. Also he has a no Make Up for Quizzes or Exams. I took this course in summer, it was difficult but manageable if you put in the work. He is very hilarious

Matt Read is the fastest grader I've ever had and I am so appreciative of it. He is also always on top of responding to emails. If I email him a question about the homework, he responds with a clear answer that helps me finish the work within the hour. He's a bit quirky, but you learn to love it.

He's a great teacher. He grades fast and he is really helpful. If you have a question ask, in fact he spends quite a bit of time asking for questions. He is available pretty much at all times through e-mail. He tries to reply within the hour. He is clear on his exceptions and follows the syllabus.

I have taken 2 different courses with Matt, College Algebra and Intro to Stats. Same structure for both. There is quizzes or exams each week, but if you understand the classroom examples in the notes you'll do excellent! He always grades the same day, which has its pros and cons. There is limited feedback, but is willing to meet with you to discuss

Matt is one of those professors that will bend over backwards for you if you are willing to first put in the hard work. Matt is fair and will sit side by side with you and work out problems until you understand them. He is never condescending when addressing you and VERY much so willing to go the extra mile AS LONG AS YOU DO TOO.

I took this class all online with recorded lectures. The system used was Cengage and it was harder in my opinion because if you miss any small part, the entire question is wrong. When you are in person you have the opportunity to have half credit for questions. He was always available, however, and helped me within an hour or less during the day.

Matt is the best professor I have ever had. I had read some bad reviews, but if you struggle with math, he's great at explaining things at a level you can understand. He does dig in his crack occasionally during class, but otherwise very focused.

MAT 150 and MAT 208. He is available outside class throughout the semester if you need help. I understand the bad review because the PDF lectures are insufficient to understand the material. However, if you understand the homework and put effort, you won't have trouble passing his classes. Try to practice more examples before attempting the tests.

I was scared to take his course when I read his ratings on this website but honestly he was the complete opposite. He was really understanding when it came to late work. He does email you a lot through out the week but he does it to make sure you are understanding his course and to assure you that he is available if you need help.

I had a rough start the first few weeks where I actually almost decided to drop. I had expressed this to professor Read and he offered to set up a video call so we could go over everything I didn't quite understand. Above that he really gave me some really good advice which inspired me to push myself a little harder and now I've passed every test.

He emails often (maybe a bit too much), but he is accessible. He was kind and helpful. However, his final is what I really disliked. There was no midterm so the final covered the entire semester and he provided no extra review materials. It was also worth 40% of my total grade, which is more than I've ever seen a final worth.

He's very good! He was super helpful and was always sure to check in to see if you needed help. He was always very respectful when it came to recordings for tests, and he emphasized internet safety when it came to the recording software that we were forced to add to our laptops. His jokes are so bad that they're good, and he's relatable!

You can tell he cares a lot about helping and wanting to pass his students. I took a generally easy class, but he made it 100x better. He emails back within 24 hours and really tries to help.

Very easy to reach by email, and responds very fast. Also accepts late work without penalty to your grade, which was super nice.

The class was not hard, nor easy. My biggest issue was that we were not actually taught how to do the formulas. The majority of the class was memorizing where to input data in statcrunch. I also felt that the testing particularly for the final was unfair. You were required to memorize twelve chapters and not allowed to utilize any notes.
