Professor Matthew is the best! 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.
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. Be prepared! - many videos to watch for online discussion forum
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!
His jokes are bad - we get that! But, he is a sold professor with an amazing business and research background. I enjoyed my class last semester with him.
I wish Matthew taught more courses - he was wonderful to me!
He makes lots of jokes and not everyone gets it. Majority of the class was lost during the lecture because he picks up random things and you can't understand what the lecture is about. You try to follow up, but his lecturing really make it difficult to follow up during the lecture. Idk what I learned in this class!!! btw, grading is very confusing
What an amazing professor! He was great.
so confusing. prof matt just shows ted talk videos and give us jokes that us international students have no understanding of. Do not take as this prof is confusing
He is the best professor - so fun to learn from.
He is an amazing professor with great experience - so wonderful to learn from.
So confusing. Does not lecture at all. Weird style.
You want a graduate professor who talks all the time - I don't. He makes us think and works with us on amazing projects. If you take a class with him, you might just have fun. Just stay engaged.
What an amazing professor - he was so much fun to learn from.
He is great - what an amazing professor and so kind. It was great to learn from him.
Prof Matt is nice but he does not explain anything. Self taught.
He is one of the best professor of UCW. He shows real life ad vdo's related to marketing in class. tells lots of jokes which he calls 'bad jokes' but they r funny ones. 1 group assignment, quizzes & simulation per week, DMI & salesforce, one presentation, & weekly discussion assignment on student portal. They are not so difficult except quizzes.
Unfair in marking. No expectations or standards. Confusing. No lectures. Watch ted talk videos. Nothing. Waste of money.
He is an awesome professor and lots of fun.
So much workload for 1% discussion and weekly quizzes where rest of the professor used to take 10 questions for 30 mins but he set up 20 quizes for 26 mins. So you will not even have a chance to finish the MCQ questions.
Matt is such an awesome professor and his classes are fun, even if his jokes suck.
Have to watch so many videos. Deadline are so confusing in the moodle. You are likely to end up with B or B+ becuase of the total 40% weekly quizzes and simulatoins.
He teaches well and with passion, gives real life examples. There are several videos that you need to watch to answer and reply the weekly discussions and there are also weekly connect quizzes and simulations.
Unfair in marking, No expectations or standards. Confusing and the way he want to do presentation doesn't work in real worl and how people will understand if they only able to see the ppt file. So much workload for weekly discussion.
No matter how much you did, you are likely to end up with B. So much work load and touch grader.
Once I approched him but not helpful and will not give you any chance if you misssed any of your weekly 4% taskts due to connect error. Don't try to make any mistake for your assignment and will not get any help from him as well.
We have to write weekly post like 20% individual assignment, heavy workload, then will likely to end up with 70-75 on everything. Nothing worth even you tried hard to get good grade.
Don't fall under good comment if you are looking for the good grade based on your effort. Tough grader and not helpful if you make any mistake on weekly post, quizzes and simulation.
I faced the same experiences on one of his class in last semester. Will down your point rather than round up. A lot of home work, unfair marking
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.
I'm studying because I want to learn, not because of a VISA. So I study hard and thought I could take this professor even with the bad reviews; I totally regret it; ZERO teaching, weekly ppt and video, too much to watch then write like 20% assignment for weekly discussion. 70-75grades, awful, so far my worst experience at UCW.
Bias, unprofessional, tough grader no matter how you tried hard, he will keep you between 70-75. no worth to join his class.
I should have seen recent comments to avoid his class. No wounder he got this kind of feedback. Totally Agreed.
You will only get nightmares with the grade that you received from him. Unfair marking
All you need to do was learn yourself, not helpful, tough grader, self-centered, egotism and bias.
these feedbacks are absolute right and clear.
I really wish to see all of the recent feedback eariler. No learning from this class.
He is awesome - I am not sure why these people had such a bad experience. Mine was amazing. He is great and passionate about what he does.
in my opinion not recommended. 70 average for 40 marks in the marketing project. we expected at least 85 he was following UCW restrictions to grade students low. An easygoing professor but was not happy on final result. He ensured by lower grading project most do not get A. Weekly discussion he post only during OGL time so ul have to fully use it.
I did not have that experience with him - he's a great professor and I learned a lot.
If you only got 70% on your assignment, well, ummm?? I got over 86% and it was a great class.
What a joke. This guy is super laid back but gives everyone 70 percent. stay away. Clueless and disorganized. He need to teach better. The positive comments are by this ANNOYING professor. He told student in this week's class. sad.
I was taken this class due to previous good comments in last term. It was totally nightmare and different from our expectations. Better watch YouTube rather than joining this class. No learning at all and touch grader. Bias and unfair grading on team assignments and weekly discussion 50%.
Do not take him at all cost!!!
Bias and unfair marking even on the 10% weekly task. He looks good guy and fun infront of the class but not helping when you approach for help individually.
I wish to see these updates comments before I joined this class. Outages of workload, assignments and have less grade no matter how you tried your best.
Only the best professors have haters - I am actually proud to have taken a class with Matt. He taught me a lot of things that were outside the textbook. He was awesome to have as a professor.
Awesome professor - he's great!
What a wonderful professor - I learned so much from him!
Do not understand his jokes. He does not mark fairly. No rubric. Everyone gets 70%. Allows cheating
Outage of workload comparing to other class and gave 70 no matter how you tried. Don't fall under good comment which came from that professor because he is too focused on his rating over the student's grade. Bias, unfair and self-centered.
Enroll other good class or take marketing in another term but NOT THIS ONE!!!!!
I personally or professionally didn't get any learning except from TED talk where we can learn on our own.
Don't fall under good comment which came from that professor because he is too focused on his rating over the student's grade. Credit to following comment. I don't feel any learning from this class.
So much workload, assignments and put you between 70-75%. He will never gave your garde at first and will suprise in week 11 with 60 for group project with useless comments. No one is perfect but he can't give a fair garde even you followed the rubric.
Matt was great for me! He was amazing.
some of the students and including me missed 4% weekly quiz and simulation due to connect glitch but he never let us get again. Not a supportive one and so much questions comparing to other calss. Don't consider to take his calss.
He's so wonderful - was great to have as a professor. I learned so much.
We expected the grade for the effort that we invested but this class will let you in between 70-75%. Unfair marking on the attandance and group project (60 mark for 40% group project, are you kidding us?). Don't consider to try this class and wait for the next semester if you couldn't enroll to good professor class.
Majority of the rating are bad. Don't waste your money and time on this. We expect the quality of teaching, fair grading and ethical support as we paid.
Matt is simply amazing.
Matt is inspirational and awesome - if it wasn't for UCW's limitations, I think this class is super fun. I earned an A because I worked hard. You need to realize that this is a graduate level class and requires a lot of work.
Matt is simply awesome.
Prof Matt is not amazing. Stay away.
He will let you in between 70-75%. Unfair marking on the attandance and group project. There no A or A- stuents since he designed to fail the student.
Outage of workload and stay away.
Matt is awesome - this student must be off their rocker.
This professor is the worst. Does not teach. You do all the work. Everyone gets 70%. Do not take him
I met with Prof Matt to discuss about my mark and he did not give any reason. There was no feedback. Just a number. I want to improve next time. He gave me no answer.
I had Matt his first semester here at UCW and his course was nothing short of amazing - not only is he an amazing Professor, but he cares. The writing of these posts is horrible - Matt keep doing what you are doing.
I had Prof Mat in first semester. Worst experience of my life.
Great professor - super fun.
Matt absolutely rocks - what a great professor. You can't trust these bad ratings, because he is awesome.
Prof Matt does not rock. No fun. Boring
Matt is awesome - but, he is a tough grader.
I will never recommend him to anyone
He only cares about his rating here, not the student grade.
Matt is amazing - I learned so much from him.
Matt was inspirational and very Canadian - he might speak to fast, but he is great and brings in real world marketing knowledge. He even discusses the latest in what is happening and goes beyond the textbook. I am in a wicked job because of him.
He is the worst professor that I have ever seen in my life. His teaching style is more focused on grading rather than educating the class, assignments are also not relevant to the course, more narrow, focused on matters like " Grameen Shakti". Don't waste your money and time on him guys there are many other professors who are better than him.
Good rating are given by himself. So don'f fall under his trap and no one ever get A at his class.
Worst subject that I ever seen with no learning
Matt was great for me - wicked professor with lots of real-world knowledge. He really did help me to get a wicked gig.
The worst lecturer. He is trying as much as possible to fail you. So much of workload. Weekly discussions with 2-3 questions, video references with each discussion with 300 words for one question. And also need to comment on 3 classmates' posts weekly. He detects our own, genuine work as AI written and gives participation marks below 3/10.
Proctored quizzes weekly. No good marks for good work and has a favorite student concept who only gets 8/10 for discussions. Have jokes that are not funny. But you have to pretend that are funny. Never recommend. Now the whole class is struggling to get a B to this easy-going subjets.
Best professor ever, I had so much fun in his class and learned a lot.
Average workload. You'll get good marks if he sees your dedication to the job. He knows how to recognize good work. He is humble, calm, flexible, and humanized. The assignments and tasks is not difficult. Sometimes I had trouble understanding the explanations, but if you follow the rubric, you'll do well. He is approachable outside of class.
Thanks again Matt for being so great!
Outage or workload. Don't take him
The whole class is struggling to get a B to this easy-going subjects. I should have listen to the other students comment and feedback from previous class.
I do not believe I learned much after class. There is no proper slides or notes after class and he never post them.
Matt was great for me - I really enjoyed his class.
Wow, you are only getting a B or lower! Hmmm. I found Matt to be very humble and kind. He really did help me to learn about marketing and to get a good job later.
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!
Matt was amazing - probably one of my favourite professors. He focuses more on building a really engaging class. He truly does care about his students!
DO NOT TAKE!!!
Do take if you are not a cheater - he checks everything, but he is an amazing professor. He is inspirational and knows his stuff.
No learning and just asked you to watch the TED talk where we all can watch for free. LoL
The worst professor I even seen.
Best professor ever - he's got amazing experience!
Wrost professor ever! stay away.. Better run away.
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.
Matt was a great professor for me - super helpful and amazing to learn from. I did not get that experience from him! I recommend him.
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 is really chill and one of the best faculty members at UCW!
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
Really a good professor i ever had
Never take firstly give you scores but in the end of course will cut your alot of scores.worst professor ever.
A very online-savvy professor - I learned a lot from him.
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.
Don't recommend
Matt is an awesome professor! I definitely recommend.
Matthew was inspirational and very easy going - great professor to learn from. Definitely recommend him.
Did not like his grading
Wouldn't recommend
Wouldn't recommend.
I would not recommend, but you can go ahead.
He was great for me.
Best Professor, I have ever taken don't go on comments. I had marketing 625 and best valuable lessons was given by professor. Best grader and he listen to you everytime. He has a cool attitude will make you feel like you are in family not in a class. #bestprofessor

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.
