Very good and understanding professor. Would like to see his students succeed, if you go to lectures and do all your homework you will do fine in his tests. Would totally recommend him to anyone!

His work is very easy. Students in his class can get 100% in assignment by web assign which allow you to try 10 times until you input the right answer . Even exam or group work ,No challenge at all. He would answer all your questions no matter they're covered by textbook or not . Once you write down the note and pay attention,you'll be fine.

Professor Mata is very responsible,helpful, and patient. I took his Math 160 last semester and got an A. I am an international student. Beside the language barrier, I am not really good at learning math. Study the notes and do the homework, you will be fine. By the way,he won't check the hw, but it is very helpful. We do it for ourselves, not him.

Mathew Mata is an outstanding teacher. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Pros:He is good at communicating clearly and effectively and is good at making mathematical concepts easier to understand and visualize. He is courteous and (too) compassionate towards his students. Cons:He doesn't curve and doesn't give extra credit.

Prof Mata summer class was boring but very straight forward. He gave out a decent amount of homework and there were few quizzes. There were hardly any test and they weren't long. He'll tell you exactly what's on the test so if you study you'll pass with a good grade. Overall, he is a bit boring but he thoroughly goes over the material so take him.

Professor Mata is one of the best math professors I have ever had. Business Calculus, although I hear is easier than regular calculus, is not a class you can slack off in. It is possible to receive an A, but you must work for it and spend many hours studying. He is clear and willing to answer all of your questions. I would take him again.

He is such a generous professor. I left one whole question on the quiz empty because I had no idea how to approach it. so i wrote some random formula, and he gave me some credit for trying. The content of the class might nto be easy, but he will help if you need, and he will be generous enough for you to keep you trying.

He lets you out of class early sometimes, and he teaches in a way that it works at other universities. He does his lecture, you're expected to take notes and use it to do HW and prepare for other assignments. He curves a lot, which is good!

His class is definitely a tough one, but he's one of the best higher division math teachers there is. He curves the final to your advantage, and he sets up students for success, but only those willing to work. You are given weekly homework and quizzes. His teaching style is honestly pretty tough to understand, but he knows his stuff.

Dr. Mata is a very smart professor, you easily tell it by just looking at him. His lectures are sometimes boring but he is very clear, and also very respectful to students. He won't roll his eyes or sigh when a student asks an "obvious" question, he's quiet but very friendly once you talk to him. He wants students to pass, but beware of his exams!

His lectures are fast paced, so if you are a student whose slow at math your gonna have to put in extra work. His office hours helps if you need clarification on anything you do not understand. Quizzes are pretty easy since he uses the same problems from the classwork. His tests are SUPER LONG, so if you are slow at math than take someone else.

He lectures through about half the class. Very dry lecture. Gives the remaining class time to work on HW. 25+ problems of HW and 25 problems of extra credit for each section. Tests are tough and make up 75% of the grade. Extra credit totaled 7.5%. Every week there is a quiz. One question is given, one comes from assigned work. He knows his stuff.

He knows the materials well and explains everything so well. You have to try in order to fail the class.

This guy wants you to pass. He drops your two lowest quiz and homework grades. Optional classwork is given for each section but DO THE CLASSWORK. Quiz questions come straight from it and it can be turned in each test for a lot of extra credit (10% of the test to be specific). He lectures fast so use his office hours if you're not a fast learner.

Took this professor for Winter. Almost did not pass but thanks his help and his generous extra credit, i was able to pass. I would recommend him forsure.

I took his class for winter 17. He teaches the class with the notes he wrote. He doesn't seem like professional professor. But you do not need to worry about homework. Homework is optional in his class which is good. He gives partial credit.

Took a while to get used to his teaching style , but overall a great teacher. Very knowledgable man, extremely nice and will answer all of your questions without making you feel stupid like other professors.

The dude lectures nonstop with a 12 minute break in a 2 hour class. Class can get boring but the class is fair. Take home quizzes were essentially the homework for the class, they were due once a week, every week, even on days when there were exams. Honestly just a normal, fair class. Come in, do the work, get the grade you deserve.

Took a 6 week summer course w Dr Mata. At first, it was a bit intimidating due to the speed of his lectures, but once we started asking questions he would slow down and go more into detail. The class does Move quickly. 2hr class was 1hr of lecture & 40 mins of classwork/ask questions. Late / leave early counts as an absent. He drops after 3.

This is my second semester taking Mata for mathematics. All I can say is this guy wants you to pass. His tests look just like the homework problems, gives good amount of extra credit, and his homework packets gives you a boost on your grade. His lectures are pretty fast paced but if you ask him to slow down he will, easy as that.

Dr. Mata is extremely knowledgeable in terms of mathematics. He is also very professional. If you want to pass the class with flying colors, you must do the homework that he assigns because it provides extra practice, and he offers help during office hours and class time if you have any questions about the homework or worksheets.

The lectures include a lot of example problems, and his worksheets offer a chance to really go over all of the material to be sure you're solid on it, and they're honestly there for pointage padding for your grade. The quizzes once a week help spot problem areas too--helpful before a test. If you have questions, he's very approachable.

The class went from 40 people on the first day, to 17 on the day of the final. Do not let that deter you! His class is not difficult, although at times he may skip steps while working out problems. IT IS IN YOUR BEST INTEREST TO ASK QUESTIONS! Stop him right away if you need to. Engage yourself as a class with him, thank me later.

Matthew Mata has been the BEST math teacher I've ever had in my education experience! He not only answers every question you have with detail, but he provides many examples with every topic introduced. He was very cooperative, professional, and knew his topic very well. The book was rarely ever needed for me since the notes he gave us sufficed!

I didn't think his class was challenging because I took calculus in high school and the material is exactly the same, if not easier. A lot of people were struggling, but as long as you do the homework and understand it, you'll score well on the exams. Straightforward class, would definitely take him for higher level courses if he taught them.

Had Mata for 2 classes. Math165 and Math130. The classes are lecture heavy, but easy to keep up with. Quiz every week based on the worksheets. Gives brownie points on exams if he sees you are on the right track even though you didn't get the right answer. Gives time during class to work and ask questions. Would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Mata has done an outstanding job during the pandemic. He posts great video lessons on time in Canvas and posts his lecture notes , too. Most instructors don't do both. Although he gives tough exams, he gives good feedback on what I need to improve. I feel definitely prepared to take Calculus in the summer.

I took him during the pandemic. He gives good notes. He goes kind of fast. Does skip some steps, I email him & he replies with clarification until I understand. He does care! Gives extra credit opport. every quiz which has saved me. Quiz every week. HW is optional, does not grade it. But always do the HW. Quiz and exams do reflect HW and lecture!

I am glad that I took Professor Mata's Math 120 in the summer. He was very clear in his instructions unlike many other professors during the pandemic. He gives plenty of time to take exams and he is a very fair grader. I highly recommend him if you want to take math classes online!

Not a bad teacher. Gives notes and provides explaination videos. Quizzes and homework were not bad, but I didn't feel completely prepared for the exams. Study the notes, homework, and quizzes. Show all work or else he'll take points away. Lots of time to complete quizzes/exams. Offers office hours if you need extra help.

I am doing good in Professor Mata's Math 165 class. I really like that it's on campus and much easier to learn calculus than online. His notes are helpful. He also gives tons of extra credit which helps saving me every time

Calculus is tough for me but Professor Mata is very patient explaining things. I didn't do well online last semester, but I am doing much better in his face to face class this semester. I recommend him.

He's very reasonable. Calculus is tough but he gives students many chances to pass.

Homework can be excruciatingly painful,even when you pay attention during class because of WebAssign bad vids.Requires access code for homework and book, and the book is worthless as most ordinary students struggle to understand it. He did answer every question we had which was essential, extra credit earnable on all quizzes, and rounded my grade.

Not a class you can slack off in, but if you pay attention in lecture and keep up with HW (or equivalently, teach yourself and take notes from the book) you'll do fine. Dr. Mata knows his stuff, but he also tries to explain things in layman's terms. Don't give up if you have a rough start initially! I got a C on my first test and a B on my second.

He's one of the few online instructors that actually give good feedback and return assignments quickly. Very reasonable in grading and gives plenty of time for tests. If you keep up with the class, you will be do just fine.

I am taking this class on campus. It's very fast paced in the summer but he gives you many opportunities to pass. I like that he gives more than just exams and also extra credit too.

Umm his teachings were really easy to follow and there were many chances, there were many opportunities for extra credit. Each quiz that he gave there was an extra credit question. If you did enough extra credit you could literally even it out with exams. He also answered any questions students had very clearly.

He's really reasonable as a grader and gives good lectures. I will take him again if he teaches another class.

I was nervous for this course as I am not good at math and calculus seemed scary, but the content was not as difficult and he was a great professor! Straightforward with lectures and is chill. This is a class you will need to dedicate a lot of time too and to study for. He gives extra credit every week, quizzes & HW every week, test corrections.

I am not good at math but Professor Mata is very patient and gives everyone a fair chance to pass. If you do homework, then you'll be fine on the exams.

Online requires a lot of homework but the professor is fair. He gave many chances for us to pass. I would take him again.

He explains very clearly and he is patient in answering questions. I recommend him.

He was very easy to follow in class. If you keep up with homework, you should be fine. I wish I took him for Math 165 earlier. I took it with another Math 165 instructor first but it was a mistake.

Professor Mata explained things well and wasn't ridiculous in his expectations. He understands that we are not good at math and he tried to help us. I enjoyed his class.

I was able to follow him in class. He gives good feedback and return exams quickly. It's important to keep up with homework. He gives extra credit which really helped me.

I took his face to face 130 a while back and I learned a lot from him. I knew very little algebra but he was willing to answer lots of questions in class. He cared that we understood the stuff. Take him if you want to beef up your algebra.

Online requires a lot of work but I really like the format of his class. He's a fair grader and offers extra credit, too. Gives feedback right away. If you keep up with the videos and do homework, you should be fine.

Calculus in the summer was a lot of work but Professor Mata was very fair. I highly recommend him.

I took him for Math 165 in the summer. It was very doable because he has reasonable expectations of us. He gives many chances for us to do well and he grades lots of assignments. I heard from my friends that some professors don't grade anything. I'm glad that I took him. I would take him for statistics if he were teaching it.

If it is as important to you, as it is to me: this professor is using lockdown browser for online classes. I saw this mentioned in another review but it was old, so I had to find out if he was still. Anyway, quizzes about once a week, sometimes an exam also. The textbook is about $111 and HW is about 40+ points/questions. Good luck, everyone~

Good teacher to take business calc. I dropped the class strictly due to mental health. Nothing against the teacher buisniess calc just really hard

He does use lockdown browser and webassign for hw and textbook access, but I didn't really have any problems with the class itself. The weekly quizzes are 1 question per subtopic covered that week, the midterms and final exam weren't too different from the notes given, and a study guide for the final is provided. Overall a pretty reasonable prof :)

I'm not the best in math, but Professor Mata was amazing. He's very patient and cares about his students' education. He gave extra credit problems on every quiz. No notes are allowed in quizzes, but exams are acceptable. There are four exams and the final exam (if you do well) will drop your lowest exam. Office hours and studying will help you pass

I had to study a lot to understand calculus but Professor Mata was extremely helpful. He gave us many chances to do well. I would take him for another math class if I ever need one.

This class was tough but it's doable if you can keep up with the videos. Online learning is difficult but the professor was super helpful.

This is a good class to take if you're not very good at math. I understand his lectures more than other math professors. I would take another class with him if I need it.

I can't say this class is easy but the professor is nice and gives us many chances to improve. I understand him well and he's better than most professors.

This is college so work is expected. Class is decent if you put in the time like I do. I recommend taking this professor.

This class is very doable online. You have to put in the work but professor is nice. Take it if you are not gifted in math like me.

Dr. Mata is a great person and a wonderful teacher. He has infinite patience with students. I wish more teachers are like him.

A good class to take. Not too easy and not too hard. He grades fairly. I recommend taking him.

W professor, I took him hybrid & highly recommend. Very patient and willing to help students until they understand the material. LOTS of extra credit, weekly quizzes, 3 midterms, final was 2 parts, half online, half in person. Uses webassign for homework, & he answers hw questions within 1hr. His notes are clear and basically replace the textbook.

Professor Mata was the best math teacher I've ever had. All the material is explained really well, if you don't understand something he'll try to re-explain in a way you'll understand. There's a quiz everyweek, but he gives extra credit on them. Pay attention and study your notes and you'll do well. Amazing professor I recommend him to everyone.

He is the best teacher that I have ever had. He was very patient with the class and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend him. Prof. Mata is very patient and can explain math to someone who is not good at math like me.Take him!

He is the best teacher he can explain anything and make it seem easy and better, especially for me to understand the topic. He is patient and doesn't mind if you ask questions throughout the lecture. The homework is so easy, and he gives you a week to do it. His weekly quizzes are mostly only two questions and are even easier. I recommend it!!!

Always happy to answer questions and break down strategies. He teaches quite fast though. He always gives about a 10-minute break in class which I liked. Homework load is pretty fair. The concepts of the class are difficult, but he gives tons of extra credit which makes the class very passible, if you put in the work.

Professor Mata is great at explaining concepts and provides many opportunities to succeed. Attendance is mandatory, but worth it. Unstuck ai was a huge help for practice problems and exam prep.

He hits the ground running, but he will answer any question no matter how silly it may seem. Gives insane amount of extra credit (got a C on first exam and still ended w/ an A). Lectures are packed with info, but take good notes and review after and you'll be good. If you struggle with math, study ahead of exams and make a good note sheet.

I took Dr. Mata for his hybrid 190 last summer. The videos were good, but he still explained stuff in class. I needed explanations so hybrid worked for me. I liked coming to campus only twice a week during summer. I recommend him. I would have taken him if he taught 191.

This is definitely a hard class we finished with ~40% of the original class size. The tests and quizzes are far harder than what he prepares you for in class. The homework is on cenegage which I loath far more than words can describe. He is genuinely helpful and his lectures are informative, but does not prepare you for what he tests for.godhelpyou

I'm not the best when it comes to math, but this professor was incredibly supportive and kind. It's not an easy class by any means but he gives lots of opportunities to make up the points you might've missed on exams. If I were to do this class over again, I would go to his office hours and get more help early on.
