    124IG . Jackson M G 1 Year, 4 Months Ago

    He's a pretty zany guy, I wish I was able to take more classes with him. I will say though, the problem sets didn't really prepare me for the exams.

    he is the best. Take this class over Earth 124I. Matt is so kind and funny and makes the class understandable, he wants you to succeed. exams are a little hard but he curves them. problem sets are also diffucult but go to office hours.

    His slides can be a bit misleading as far as midterm content goes, but he is such a funny man. He'll include random animal pictures that will make you fall out of your seat laughing. His exams include funny questions too. Unfortunately, the problem sets are key for doing well on the midterm, and they can be pretty tricky. But overall he's great.

    We love Matty J! He's my favorite professor at UCSB! His lecture slides are definitely not boring since there are random animal pictures scattered throughout them.

    Matty J!!!!! My favorite lecturer I have had at UCSB. Super chill, really into the material, and objectively deserves a chili pepper.
