The content itself has a steep learning curve, but his expectations are clear and his exams are reasonable. Homeworks are long and quite difficult, but make sure not to rush through them since they are helpful and graded on correctness.

Just really bad. Added all the homework grades after the final and I got a bunch of really bad scores. He then didn't respond to my email about it. Maybe this is just how the class is but he was very strict on everything being exactly how he wanted. He might be better for a different class.

Although the class is challenging and different from typical math courses, Matt Porter is one of the best in the department. He's very organized, engaging, and welcoming to questions without being condescending. The homework load is heavy but genuinely helpful, and manageable if spaced out through the week. If you put in the effort, you'll do well.

Professor Porter was very chill and a good professor overall. His tests are not especially difficult and he gives extra credit on each one. Just do the work and make sure to do the homework. Study groups are very helpful with this foundational class. Office hours are always your friend.

Amazing professor! Highly recommend taking him for math 8- he taught proofs in a very easy way to digest and had weekly quizzes in section that were very simple. Very clear and fair grading criteria and does offer extra credit. I suggest always coming to lectures and he is very accessible outside of class. He makes proofs easy to understand.

Good professor.
