He is like the fun uncle at a party that is great to be around but gets distracted easily.

Not a fan of his teaching style. Zoom classes are just discussions, if you've taken multiple classes with him he mentions the same stories repeatedly. "Lectures" are mostly Ted Talks then him speeding through the content. Exams are very tough and he is also a tough marker for someone who barely teaches.

Matt was a great professor - kind, easygoing, and makes sure we know what is happening in the industry. I got a good gig because he personally helped me to land a good job because of his connections. I can't say that for other professors. Don't believe the other reviews that are negative - most likely these students failed for not attending class.

Matt was one of the best instructors I came across at Douglas. I have taken 4 courses with him. He tries to explain the course concepts by giving you real-life examples with a hint of jokes in the middle. He has a clear grading criteria and his exams are easy as well. Highly recommend him.

For me, Matt was inspirational - he truly does care about his students. You just have to work hard to get a good grade and yes, he has expectations. For the person who says he is the worst ever, I guess you are failing because you are skipping class. Nuff said, Lattice out.

I do not recommend this professor at all. Does not cover course materials in class but expects you to know them for the exams and case analysis. Does not provide clear instructions and is an extremely tough marker with unreasonable expectations. Talks about the same three stories every class with no relation to course materials or concepts.

This is the worst class I have ever taken. It was difficult because the prof isn't a good teacher - he is extremely confusing and does not give good instructions AT ALL. I should have dropped the class when I had the chance. I would never take a class with this guy again. Good luck people.

He spent his time talking about his bike and how spends most of time biking outdoors. He didn't teach any good personal selling technique or access to any digital tool such as Salesforce or Hubspot. He made us spend 50 dollars on a software to upload assignments. However, he is approachable and friendly. But just doesn't know how to teach.

He's funny but in my experience he is not a good teacher. As someone who does not have any idea what an SEO is, when I ask him during class, he told me to search it in Google instead. And when I asked for clarity regarding our activity, he just said search it online. He seems pretty chill, but I came here to learn from him, and not from Google.
