    MAT101 . Begley M R 8 Days Ago

    Professor Begley is a very intense and captivating lecturer, but is also secretly one of the kindest professors you'll have in Engineering. Going to lecture is essential. He might seem like he's improvising the whole thing, but it all starts to piece together by the end. He is also (exceedingly) open about future exams.

    INT94MS . Begley M R 8 Years Ago

    Had him for seminar so I can't comment on his difficulty in general but he was super engaging and I loved the class.

    ME10 . Begley M R 9 Years Ago

    Lectures aggressively, almost shouting, asks you to call him Matt and challenge him if you don't understand. Bit of an unorthodox style but actually pretty friendly. Good at keeping your attention and getting info across. First 3-4 weeks was a repeat of Physics material. Then the difficulty increased quickly. Tests were quite difficult.
