Advantage: - experiences and knowledgeable, interesting lectures, hilarious, easy-going Disadvantage: - tough grading on reports, especially with cohesion, connecting and clear objectives, focus on citation and APA format - not well organized, he changes deadlines/ due dates often.

Professor Matt is the most Canadian professor I've ever seen at UCW. His lectures are engaging and hilarious, ensure you are actively participating in all classes. All projects and submissions are group projects, so maintain good rapport with your group mates. The bonus Salesforce courses are awarded an extra 3% make sure to complete that!

This professor is very relaxed in his classes and doesn't care if students leave in between the class. What's being taught is read from the slides. He will keep you in the range of 70-75. He gave very minimal basic feedback and takes 4-7 business days to reply to your emails or if you contact him on MS Teams.

The most arrogant professor I have ever met He does not give feedback, and I am certain he grades randomly at the end of the semester. There was no feedback on your class participation, even you joined or not. I found the students who missed half of the class were better than me in participation. LOL, I need more space to say how bad this guy is!

He is really unprofessional and arrogant. He reduces the grades even after two of term's end. Don't choose this professor he will destroy your future. Recently many students come to know that their grades has automatically reduced and now they are on Academic Probation. choice is yours, if you really like to get grades go to another professor.

Non professional. Decrease the grades all at sudden even after 3 months of term's end. Load of students now under Academic Alert/Probation. Choose wisely, really tough grader.

He's the best professor Marketing. He'll invest his part in his classes and to get good grades you will have to invest yourself in the class timings and the group activities. Very fair to all the students. Choose the professor's courses if you wish to learn something new and practical.

Matt's lectures are dynamic and funny. He speaks so fast but really clear and the content is engaging. Beware of the quizzes and simulations: there are a lot and you need to do everything to pass smoothly.

Very laid back with a great personality. But is not a very clear or transparent grader. The expectations are not clear and the cadence of the classes can be overwhelming as well. Overall, he is a good professor but if you want good grades might be better to go with a clearer person

Professor Larson is engaging and cares about his students. The class has a specific structure, but engaging with it pays off. Using Unstuckstudy and the textbook really helped with study prep and learning the material.

He is one of the best professors I've had. I truly enjoyed his classes, as he always made the concepts easy to understand with real-life examples. His teaching style is engaging, practical, and inspiring. I genuinely looked forward to every session and learned valuable skills that I'll carry into my career. #bestprofessor

I hated this class. It was unnecessarily confusing and the teacher seemed inexperienced. "Inspiring" he is not, but it's funny that he keeps writing reviews for himself on this website. I needed this class for my program so I had no choice but to complete the course with Matt. I cannot say I would take him again if given the choice.
