the best instructor ever
Great professor, uses a lot of real world tools like asana and tries to incorporate them into the old, outdated curriculum. That is very much appreciated!
He is a great professor and a kind person - always willing to talk with students when they need help.
Great guy. He's the reason why I enjoy coming to classes. Funny while teaching. Highly recommend. Also, I like Lettuce.
Matthew is a nice instructor with a good sense of humor. He is kinda easy going with the students but when it comes to important lectures and the clients, be prepared. The deadlines are negotiable, as long as you are serious. He tries to bring in real clients and I really appreciate it cause it's a really good opportunity for the students
He is the best marketing professor in Douglas College. If you want to gain more practical knowledge in real-life situations, he is the person you need to contact.
The best professor for marketing.
Did not enjoy the class. His lectures are really boring. Would not recommend.
He is a great teacher - so happy to have him, I really enjoyed the class.
He is the best professor in Douglas College.
Don't take this course with him. This is the worst business prof in all of Douglas. Glad this is over!
I have so much respect for Matthew, he's a hardworking prof. that genuinely cares about his students and shows a high level of enthusiasm every class. Deadlines are negotiable and he can easily be reached outside of class and office hours.
Good prof - fun lots.
Best prof to take.
He's great profesor - wonderful and supr nice.
Best professor ever.
Such an uninteresting class.
Such a nice profesor - great to have in your network. Will help you.
Did not enjoy this class at all. Will look for another instructor next time.
What a wonderful instructor - definitely really matters at Douglas.
What an unimpressive instructor - definitely a negative experience in class.
extra ordinary man with outstanding experience. very interesting professor and makes things easy for us. Understands the students very well.
Great professor - so wonderful.
He's the best professor I've ever had.
Not a great prof. I did not enjoy his class. Not recommended.
Great professor, but hard markr - still really want to take him again.
He is the worst prof I've ever taken. -So many stuff you have to do; term tests, 2 and more quizzes, 4 short case report, team project including 10 pages final report and presentation. -Tough grader -Nothing is clear; Can't receive feedback about tests and reports. Everything is quite different as described on outline
Nice guy - fairly decent class. Just very busy - would take him again.
He is like the fun uncle at a party that is great to be around but gets distracted easily. His lectures are vague to the actual tests but they are enjoyable to listen to (Get ready to learn a lot about bikes, trucks, and Apple). Most of the testable stuff is from the textbook and a bit from the online resources. He gives partial marks, just write.
Great professor and really does care.
Matt is great! he is really clear about his expectations and is really supportive of his students. he really makes an effort to connect with people. He likes to add personal stories which makes him approachable. if you have the chance to take a class with Matt do it
A lot of work outside of the online class. The group project is rough under these circumstances. There are a lot of exercises in class that require participation. His marking is very specific, write everything! He's lenient with due dates but it makes it confusing on when things are actually due. He's a nice guy but not a great fit for online.
Great instructor - he is super nice, accessible, and easy-going. Really do ensure though that you pay attention in class, as he does test what he lectures on. He is super fun and engaging.
If you take his class and don't participate, you won't do well. Yet, his activities and lectures are really good. I really enjoyed taking his class - he's more unstructured than others and gets you to think on your own.
Matt cares about his students and wants to make things fun. BUT in my opinion his weekly lectures are kind of useless. I feel like I'm teaching myself. ALSO the work he expects us to do is crazy... he wants us to do several assignments that take hours to complete right before a midterm while also completing a simulation and paper. I'm drained
He is a really nice professor that really cares about his students - I just wish we could be in-person to learn from more people like him. Best marketing instructor ever.
Matts a nice guy but I think he expects too much from his students especially during this time. Normally there would be one big paper and a midterm and final. however he requires us to do multiple papers, assignments, presentations, all while doing a midterm and final. its too bad because he is a great prof but im overwhelmed.
His teaching style did not suit me at all. His lectures were exercises in breakout groups. Lots of work between cases, MindTap, and simulation. Not much instruction from him but he demands a lot in his marking. I won't be taking him again.
He's a good professor and he cares - it is definitely a fun class.
He is the worst. Just talk talk talk. Bad when it comes to grading!! Whatever you write, you will never get more than B; you dont really know what exactly he wants!! The game thing is ridiculous, just a waste of time. The exams are horrible. LOOK, if you want someone laughs at your face and gives you bad marks, then go with him
Great professor - super fun.
Class is more chitchat and watching TONS of Tedtalk videos. Exams are unclear, cases are just repetitive. I learned more from my lectures in 1120 prof than in this 4000 level course. Wouldnt recommend him at all.
If you work hard and understand the subject, you will do well. You just need to get involved in class. He's been great for me. He's a wicked marketer.
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 is a really sweet guy. The class was a hot mess. There was a LOT of work required for an intro course. Class is chaos, videos and some pretty common sense talk about advertising. The book/test content has nothing to do with the rest of the course. You will work hard. There will be lots of awkward group work that doesn't teach you anything.
Hes a good professor - kind and easy going. Great to have as a contact. He even helped me land a job.
One of the easiest prof I got. He would move tests date if you let know that you have another test on the same day and extend assignment dates when you ask with no penalty.
He's a good professor who was happy to talk to me - I took a few of his courses and he is great. He's lots of fun and the game is pretty good.
The class was quite disorganized and the structure was terrible however, Matthew made the course pretty enjoyable and accessible. Really fun and approachable professor.
Matthew was an awesome professor. This was my first uni course and he made it super comfortable. Lectures were fun and easy to understand, and work was quite easy.
Not everyone is going to like every professor - this is the easiest one I had!
This guy is all over the place. Course materials are expensive. There are few instructions and he is a harsh grader considering he isn't clear on citeria and you don't learn much during class. Good luck...
He was great for me - I really enjoyed learning about marketing from him.
Avoid with your life and money. nice guy but no clear instructions. Throws a last minute final exam that does not cover any of his materials., he just talks an shows tedtalk videos. He needs to learn how to teach
What great professor? Kind, decent, and willing to help! He is gud.
I first took courses with Matthew in 2018 and he was amazing to learn from- what an awesome prof. He is great to work with and easy to understand.
DO not take this professor. Talks about his bike and does not lecture. No t clear . Test were on other chapters. Confusing.
Unfair and disorganized. must avoid.
He's an excellent professor and a good guy - I took many classes with him.
Take another better instructor. you will get your moneys worth.
You can tell Mr. Matt is writing the good reviews. LOL.
good instructor
Matt is great! I really enjoyed his class and if you pay attention and don't skip (like the person below did), you might actually do well. All the best to Matt - he is great.
Clearly Professoor Matt is writing and monitoring his rate my prof rating. LOL. Boring professor. LOVES the international students ALOT.
Matt IS a nice guy, that is clear. However, class is a hot mess of Youtube videos, chat filters, and silliness - and THEN he has the audacity to be a tough grader after not making it clear what he wants, so that is a problem. I do not recommend this teacher.
I am very thankful for Matt - what a great professor to have? I really enjoyed his classes and he really does give you the time you need to learn.
Run away. Worst prof ever
When I had Matt, he was amazing and taught me so much. Maybe he talks too much about cars and he knows about Lettuce (it's an inside joke for him).
what a disorganized class. You do all the work and he doe snot lecture. I aske him questions and he kept referring to the internet. Stop playing ted talk videos and youtube videos. Stop this nonsense.
He has a lot of experience and makes the class super fun. He is very accessible outside the class. I would say that having a good team for the final project is a plus too.
Bad professor.
He is a very caring professor.
Greatest professor ever!
Best Professor ever. He is so fun - like an uncle at a party.
No lectures. Prof matt gives you work and that is it. doe snot take attendance. Please sir I want to learn but I leant nothing
Mr matt is ok.
Matthew is a great professor and he cares about his students. He is flexible and understanding probs the best marketing prof at Douglas.
boring class. You do all the work. Prof Matt is nice but not good.
He is one of the best professors at Douglas College and is always so kind - wish there were more professors like him.
He was pretty cool for me.
What an amazing professor - he is so kind to all of us!
He is pretty clear and teaches what it takes to get into industry!
I took Matt's MARK3340 class the summer of 2022. It was a good class as i learned a lot about drip campaigns that I can use with my own business. I had an amazing time with the group project and created long lasting friendships. I am not sure why theres a few bad reviews. just show up and talk with the class and FOCUS!! youll do great.
Be careful. You learn nothing. My humble request to avoid this prof matt
Horrible professor. Midterm was weird and gave unclear instructions. Waited for a month to get results. will not let you look at midterm. No lectures. Watch TEDTALK videos in class. What is the point? Professor Matt is lazy.
Participation matters - but I had so much fun with him. He is a great professor - thanks for doing what you do Matt!
The course was approached from an "advertising" perspective. The topics are very superficial, the class ppts don't have much content and there are no textbooks to get more information. The due dates are constantly changed but not updated in the course outline. The content is not deep enough to make you feel that you have learned.
I took Matt in the summer of 2022 and his promo course was awesome - I still use the drip campaign technique for my business. I really do remember the practical reality of needing to know about the changes in marketing and now I love what I do.
Instructions are confusing. Too brief. True he shows a lot of video's in class. Prof Matt does NOT lecture but gets students do work like watch more videos and rea articles. This is very superficial. This can be self taught. Take anotehr instructor instead. Save your time and money.
Truly disappointed with this class. The topics are interesting but the way of teaching does not help at all. Lots of disorganization, unclear instructions and zero lecture. It is strange how there are so many good comments when the reality is different...
I decided to take this course with him because I saw good reviews, however, his classes were disappointing. Whenever we had activities in class he didn't give positive feedback, instead, his words were "Cool. Next team" Also, his instructions were unclear and he changed the course outline three times.
He is a great professor and I am glad I had him - I really had a good semester.
He is an inspirational teacher - who is here to help. I really did enjoy his class.
I got an A with Matt - if you work hard and do the work, you should do well. He is a super cool professor too.
Worst professor ever. Does not teach...just babysits us.
Stay away. Waste of money and time.
Great professor! It was a pleasure to learn from him - I hope he never loses his cheerful spark.
Read the feedback and this professor does not disappoint - he is amazing. Great to learn from.
Nope. Prof writes all of the good reviews here. Do no trust. Do not take. Run away
Hopeless. Stay away
I took Matt and he was great for Marketing - he was actually quite inspirational in even helping me to get a job. Thanks again Matt.
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 super awesome and supportive - he really does care about his student's success. The key to him is understanding how to find solutions to issues.
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.
He is the worst teacher I've ever had in my life. Don't waste your money on his class if you want to learn something. He doesn't teach, and he's not an easy grader. DO NOT TAKE WITH 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.
Matt was inspirational for me! He really does care about his students. I really enjoyed the group projects and had fun in his classes.
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.
Matt is great - even if his jokes are bad (haha). I highly recommend him.
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.
Matt was inspirational for me!
Matt is an inspiration - he is kind and easygoing. Best advice - work hard, ask questions and pay attention.
Try working with this guy. He thinks he is inspirational. LOL.
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.
I got an A- in Matt's class (personal selling) and it was a fun and practical course. Matt actually did give us access to a wide array of digital technologies and tools. With College, the best advice I can give, try your best and forget the rest.
Best professor ever!
Worst class I've taken at Douglas. He is nice, sure, but all over the place so this class was stressful in a way it didn't need to be. Also expensive. I should have dropped it when I could have.
Matt was awesome and gave me great feedback. I learned a lot from him.
Matt is amazing - an epic professor.
Matt was fun and approachable - he really did help us to understand that marketing is a human activity. He's great.
What a great professor? He was awesome and helped me get a good job. Thanks Matt.
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.
Great professor to me.
Warning! Don't take him if you want high grades. He grades so low, line of 7 grade is apparently normal for him.
