Matt literally just mumbles to himself and doesn't teach. He uses examples but doesn't really explain how to do them. I've given up going to class and just went to CLAS because it was so much more helpful. He always cancels class and is always "under the weather". Just do the homework, study the review problems really hard and you will pass.

Everything is posted online. I only went to lecture maybe 4 times during the quarter. 2 midterms and a final which he lets you bring cheat sheets to all. There's homework due every week but you can honestly get by using chatgpt for each question. He's a nice dude but so boring, class was super easy tho and he has a very generous curve at the end.

i had porter for math 34a/b. i find that his lectures weren't super clear and his teaching can be a bit confusing at times. but, i did the CLAS tutoring sessions they were super helpful, and made the course much clearer. porter is also a lenient grader and is very understanding, also incorporated a huge grade curve at the end of the quarter.

Didn't show up much to lectures or seem to want to be there. But other than that, he was nice. He would teach the basics, then we would have to figure out the rest, but also extended dates for the weekly homework frequently. Our last homework assignment ended up being extra credit, and he changed the grading scale to help us succeed in the class.

lectures were boring and he sometimes didnt show up so i barely went and still got an A. weekly webwork for homework but thats it and we get a notecard on exams. lectures all posted online also im bad at math and thought this class was easy

Class is a joke. Lectures are boring/hard to understand. Often cancels lecture or doesn't show so I never made the effort to go. Weekly webwork hw is annoying but easy if you watch the lecture videos from a different prof. Still did well on the exams and you get to use a 3x5 card. Randomly changed the grading week 10 but made it easier to pass
