I knew nothing about I/O Pysc prior to this class. I was apprehensive about liking the material at 1st, but he was very enthusiastic about it. Really enjoyed the class. READ THE BOOK! The tests will knock you on your ass if you don't study.Going to class is worthwhile, ive never been more attentive at 7:30 am.

The class material is interesting if you like human resources or work psychology! matthews was passionate and fun when teaching lectures. I did not need use my book much for tests (mainly notes) but you still need to buy the book (needed it for some things). Tests are difficult so studying (and class attendance) are necessary! GOOD TEACHER

Interesting class, teacher is easy to understand but sometimes goes kind of fast through notes. Rarely need to use book. Homework is fast and easy and good way to get points.Tests can be a little tricky but not too much to handle.

Although waking up at 7:30 wasn't too fun, Matthews was a really good teacher and made things as interesting and fun as possible. He cares about his students & is a great, enthusiastic teacher. Highly recommend!

Great professor! kept class interesting and the information is really interesting as well!! Gives bonus too!! Would love to take him again in another Psych class

Overall he is a great professor!!!

Fun class. Useful material for anyone majoring in business. Would have been better if class didnt start at 7:30am

great teacher, great attitude, nice man

If you go to class he tells you a lot of the test questions and there are a few days he gives random bonus, do the homework and read the book before and you will definitely receive an A.

Makes getting up at the crack of dawn enjoyable. He is funny in his own way, the exams are fair if you go to class and read the book!

He has a dry sense of humor and is most definitely a dork in a cute way. Its not bad if you go to class because he really explains the notes in recognizable terms. Only thing is that its so early.

Good teacher.

I found the subject matter somewhat boring and it was difficult to wake up for a 7:30 class, but he offers a different perspective. He's passionate about the subject.

Do the homework! Tests aren't too bad. Go to class and halfway pay attention and you should be fine. Don't really need a book except for clarification.

I did not really enjoy this class, the content was not particularly interesting to me and it was extremely difficult to get up for 7:30. Also, Professor Matthews can be extremely negative sounding at times.

Professor Matthews is hilarious even at 7:30am!

While class isn't mandatory, it would be really hard to pass without going. It's hard material and his tests are very challenging, but they're fair.

Wonderful teacher.. i loved the class..

This class is an EASY, 3000-level elective especially for mgt majors. It's material you've seen before. Take it with Prof. Matthews and you won't be sorry!

7:30 class is not fun but his excitment about the subject kept me awake and in tune. His test weren't difficult but you had to study the powerpoints and notes from class. To say I was not that interested at first, by the end of the semester if was fun to learn.

Really easy 3000 level course. Dr.Matthews is a fun guy for a 7:30 class. Can get by with an A without the textbook, but it helps. Lectures are a mandatory to attend, ~89% of the tests come from powerpoints.

He's really a good teacher, he's very helpful. He offers out of class assistance which I'd recommend you take advantage of. It's an interesting class. You learn a lot of helpful information on how businesses hire.

Very knowledgeable professor. He uses tons of examples to help you understand the material. Challenging course because of amount of information, very manageable, though. He is extremely sarcastic about everything, which lightens the class up. Course is very applicable to real life and he makes it interesting. Great teacher for the course.

The material is pretty easy but boring. Going to class isn't a chore. Dr. Matthews makes it interesting and his sarcastic comments are funny.

Professor Matthews keeps lecture very interesting and is able to convey the information to his students very well. He is also very funny and enthusiastic about the course material.

Unfortunately, this class usually takes in at 7:30 most semesters, but Dr. Matthews is very energetic and makes class interesting. He gives great examples. Homework assignments help boost your grade and tests aren't too hard. Definitely a good class to take for anyone that's going into business someday.

Great teacher. Material is a little boring, but he tries to keep it interesting. The book is not mandatory, but I'm sure would help emphasize.

The class is very beneficial if you have an interest in management of any kind or in Human Resources.

Dr. Matthews is a very enthusiastic teacher and is extremely interested in industrial psychology and it shows through his teaching methods. The tests were pretty tricky! Not just a memorization class, have to be able to apply the information to certain situations!

Early class, but Dr. Matthews' lectures were as entertaining and informative as they could be.

Prof. Matthews is very enthusiastic but I'm just not interested on the subject.

He is a super teacher!!

He is a really cool teacher. The tests are tricky though. Make sure you do the quizzes they help your grade a bunch.

Teacher good at keeping your attention which is good if your taking it at 730am. He's funny and is always prepared. Attendance is not mandatory but he always tells you what to star in your notes or to ignore completely. If you have the option of taking Human Resources MGMT or this class... TAKE THIS CLASS!! Test questions are tricky, expect a B

Enjoyable course, professor provides insightful experiences in the field. There are homework assignments but they're helpful. There are 3 exams plus the final. Textbook was $200 when I bought it! However, I like the book, and I/O is a specilized field after all.

Very entertaining and fun class, will both teach and make you laugh

It was an okay class, but the topic in general was very boring. This is not at all a typical psychology class, so if someone is interested in the brain and chemical effects with the human body and mind, this is not the class for you.

lass wasnt too bad he gave a lot of extra credit opportunities i you attend class and do the homework you'll do fine...i did neither and still managed a "C"

Teacher was a good teacher. I think that the slides given could have been more specific, mainly pertaining to explaining definitions because alot of the terms on the slides are not in the book.

Great Teacher!! He gives a good amount of extra credit and the homework assignments are fairly easy. Tests require a little thinking and aren't basic memorization.

He is a good teacher and is nice and energetic especially for a 7:40 am class. If you want to make an A in the class I would suggest going to the class taking notes and reading the text! He is a helpful teacher though and is willing to answer any questions you have for him

Class is boring. Tests are kind of tricky but overall a good class. Study, do the homework and you'll do just fine!!

The class itself is really boring, but the professor is really awesome! Read the book and do the homework!!! It helps!!!

Easy class, just do what you need to do for an A

Go to class and do the homework. Homework counts as a big part of the grade. other than that, not too hard.

Teacher is good and fair to students. He encourages students learn the material adn apply it to real life situations. He is very helpful outside of the classroom.

You have to apply the material in the class to "real world situations" for the test. There are few actual vocabulary defined words used. I found the book to be helpful when I needed futher clarification. Also, Dr. Matthews makes himself available on campus, and via the internet.

GREAT PROFESSOR! Not Interested In This Class At All UNTIL The First Day. This Class Is So Interesting! So Many Things That You Can Apply To Your Life, Now And In The Future! MUST TAKE NOTES AND READ CHAPTERS TO DO WELL!...Attendance Is Optional, But If You Show Up, You WILL GET THOSE "EXTRA" Notes That Appear On The Test!

Study book and notes ..... Go to class to get his notes ! Homework brings up grade a lot !!!

Good professor. Go to class, DO HOMEWORK! It's 20% of the grade...

Dr. Matthews is a great teacher! He makes a very boring subject, interesting.

It wasn't that hard of a class, but obviously, if you don't study the powerpoint slides, take notes, or come to class, you'll fail. Lectures are interesting though and make it seem like it goes by fast. I'd recommend him.

DON'T BUY THE TEXTBOOK! It's crazy expensive and you really don't need it. Just come to class and take notes, then study the slides. You'll do fine on the tests without ever having to crack the books spine!

I took this class b/c I'm trying to graduate, but I have really enjoyed it. It has answered many questions that go on in the work place. If I knew what this class was about, I would have taken it along time ago!! I would recommend this class to a lot of people!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE TEACHERS FOR AN UNFAVORABLE CLASS!

He is one of the best professors that I have had. His lectures are fun and engaging, and not to mention useful for a broad range of majors. Attending class is a must, and homeworks need to be completed. Overall, this class was fun and I feel that I have gotten alot out of it.

Great class, enjoyed it.

Pay attention in class and do the homework.

good class. glad it's over tho

dr. matthews is fair and interesting.

good information and good sense of humor, made the class intersting

Interesting class. Even if you aren't interested in it you can still take away from it. Teacher provides plenty of good examples and makes sure you understand it. If you go to class it will save you a lot of studying and that will make the class easy!

Everything that was on his tests were in the notes. Very clear notes on powerpoints given on moodle. Tests were straightforward no tricks. He has a great sense of humor and keeps the subject relevant to the student.

Very interesting material. Requires lots of studying, but it's worth it. If you listen in class, definitely better outcome

Mainly powerpoint with a few details from the book, take notes and attend class and its not bad at all.

Course was interesting for "real world" expectations of jobs and performance. It is helpful to understand material if you are currently in job force outside of a University setting. Overall the tests were difficult because the test questions are a little confusing if you do not know the material backwards and forwards.

Get the book but not the latest edition. Got an A with a book that was two editions older. Great class and teacher.

He's pretty funny, a great adviser, and not as dorky as he thinks he is. If you go to class the class is cake, if you don't its still not too hard as long as you study.

Uses powerpoints in class, which is very helpful on the tests if you take notes about his examples. Approachable and even gave an extra credit assignment. Def on my top list of teachers at LSU!

Dr. Matthews is great. A lot of people only attend class around test time, but if you attend every class you'll get extra credit for group assignments during class. He offers lots of extra credit. the key to making a great grade is to study his lectures, attend class, and read the book. Although, you'll do decent without reading the book

Good teacher, very enthusiastic, helps because the material is AWFUL!

Easy to understand and makes an early class more energetic

Passionate about subject, is very clear, gives practical examples.

As long as you keep up with the work then it is a fairly easy class. There is a lot of bonus. You need to study at least 2 days before the tests.

really enjoyed this class!

Dr.Matthews is an excellent professor! He is entertaining and keeps your attention, but the subject can be boring. Tests are multiple choice(scantron) with 53 questions(3 are bonus). There are 6 homework assignments, the lowest one is dropped. He gives plenty of opportunity for bonus points. He posts powerpoints online which makes note-taking easy.

I thought this class was interesting. I liked how there were lots of opportunities for grades other than tests.

The material in this course is unlike anything I've studied before - I'm a science major. Dr. Matthews did a great job explaining concepts and new definitions, which I appreciated. Going to class really helps as does the book. However, be sure to get the most recent edition because the older ones lack some relevant information. INTERESTING COURSE!

Keeps the class interesting by adding jokes into his lecture. As a student you always know what is expected of you. Textbook is helpful for more information because the posted powerpoints do not always have the definitions.

makes class enjoyable, but the majority of the class lecture is to fast to write the info

Great professor overall. Very enthusiastic. Sometimes talks quickly. Some material on test seems to not be covered, but this is most likely because I do not read the book. Material is somewhat boring but very useful and practical.

Not a hard class if you show up and pay attention. He is more engaging than a lot of other professors, which makes class bearable. He is very helpful and approachable. I enjoyed having him as a teacher.

fabulous teacher! funny! woo :)

Homeworks are very helpful in learning the material. There are 6 homeworks and extra credit. Great sense of humor and passionate about subject. I enjoyed this class!

Great teacher with clear guidelines, Homework helped with understanding the material

Although Dr. Matthew's class contains information that's essential for future psychologists and business managers, it's also just generally useful for anyone entering the workforce. On top of that, Dr. Matthews isn't afraid to be completely honest with his opinions on the workplace, and he's always lively and entertaining about it in a cynical way.

Dr. Matthews is a great teacher!! He loves industrial/organization psych so much and is extremely intersted in it. He talks kind of fast but is very funny! I would definitely recommend him!!

Awesome teacher. His sarcasm is pretty funny at times. If you come to class and read the book you should get a good grade.

Great teacher. Makes the class very interesting and uses good examples to help us understand the material better. Lots of opportunities for bonus. Reading the textbook is helpful but not necessary as long as you go to class.

Good Teacher who taught the material clearly and with great interest in the subject. Sarcastic humor makes the class enjoyable.

snarky, fun sense of humor

make the boring information easier to listen to... very upbeat, sometimess too upbeat and talks too fast, but will always go back if you ask. tests are average and homeworks are easy.

funny in class. talks to fast sometimes

Talks very Fast

Dr. Matthews is an energetic dude that is good at what he does. He makes a boring topic a little less boring.

overall useful & great class

good class to learn i/o psyc

good class, helpful, useful, but too much note taking

His Powerpoint slides are easy to understand, and they're elaborated in the text

good class for anyone interested in going into the industrial psychology field. provides lots of informations related to job expectations.

If you don't get the book, you should go to class.

I like Dr. Matthews. He's a little nerdy but it's fun because he always has witty comments and jokes. He talks fast, especially when he's excited, but he'll slow down and repeat something if you ask him to. He also gives bonuses! For every test, there's a chance to make three bonus points and he gave ten other bonus points throughout the class!

Really enthusiastic about the material

He was cool...

He's enthusiastic about teaching and he kept my attention during class.

useful for anyone going into i/o psychology

He is Great. just go to class take notes and you will get a good grade. Really easy going and pretty funny.

Great class, great teacher. It wasn't a cake walk, but wasn't super hard. I reccommend this professor. I got a C, but if you attend class regularly, take notes, and do all of the home works, you should be able to do better than I did!

Tests are hard, but you'll learn a lot. I didn't do well in his class, but I feel like I learned a ton of things that I use in my jobs, and will take with me to my career. The professor teaches like Leonard from The Big Bang Theory would.
