Professor Porter is amazing - he really wants you to succeed. Stay on top of the homework, use unstuckstudy ai for study prep, and you'll ace this class. Lectures are super helpful, and he's very accommodating.

One of the best Professors that I've had so far. He is very caring and clearly explains what is going to be on the exams. Do all the HW's and you will be able to get a good grade in the class.

This is the greatest math teacher to ever exist. He deserves everything he has ever wanted, everything his heart desires. He wants you to succeed so badly and gives you every opportunity to do so. If you fail it is quite literally on you. Do your homework and have a good note card for the test, you will get a 100% I can guarantee it.

Porter was extremely accommodating to his students, adjusting the grading scale when needed. Grades were based on weekly webwork homework, 2 exams, and one final. The workload was very manageable and he had frequent office hours if you had any questions. Lectures were very informative. He had a very dry humor which made class interesting and fun.

Love Porter! Had him for Math 34A and now Math 34B. For both classes, he adjusted the syllabus so that homework is weighed more than the exams. Not only that, but he also gives students an extra point boost in their overall grade. No doubt, he is the best professor I've had through out my first year in college.

He's an absolute legend. I had him for 34A & B. I'm HORRID at math, and ended both classes with an A. He really listens to his students, and his Dad jokes during lecture are adorable. Don't take any other math professor but him, I promise you're going to regret choosing that 11am math over his 8am. I promissssse.

Porter is truly such an amazing professor who cares a lot about his students. He always prioritizes his student's concerns and safety above all else and will listen and adjust to any feedback given. Highly recommend taking his class.

Porter was an amazing professor who cares a lot about his students. He takes everyones concerns into consideration and adjusts accordingly. Class is really easy as long as you are caught up with lectures.

I have never had a professor who cares about his students more than Matt Porter. Not only did he rearrange the syllabus for this class(after being requested) so the tests would be worth less than the homework, but he also canceled the final exam because the student felt unsafe on campus. Go to lectures and you'll get an A.

Porter does not make attendance mandatory and posts all lecture notes online. He does cancel lectures quite a bit, but again, all notes are posted online. Overall, he shows that he cares for his students and will change the grade weights to benefit them. Porter is a great guy, and I would definitely recommend taking one of his classes.

A professor that provides different aspects to think about the questions and concepts. Though sometimes it's a "trust me, it works" scenario, but he did the proofs and canceled all the doubts. Unfortunately he had some family issues to deal with during my quarter, which forced him to cancel a lot of classes. I would like to take more of his class.

Amazing professor. Pay attention in his lectures but he posts his notes anyway. Exams are exactly like the practice exams so make sure to do the review.

Porter cares about his students. If you put in the work, you'll get an A - simple as that.

I never went to lecture and still did fine. The exams were pretty reflective of the practice tests so it was easy to cram right before the tests. Weekly webwork homeworks which were pretty annoying but not that bad. Huge curve added at the end of the course which was awesome. He just wants everyone to do well

I never went to lecture he uploads vids of another prof that are easier to follow along. Weekly webworks were so hard but u can do as many times as needed to get full credit. 2 midterms, 1 final all insanely easy compared to webworks. Section attendance mandatory. Not the best at teaching but he seems nice and the class was easy so

Could not comprehend a single thing Professor Porter said during lecture. Stopped showing up after the first midterm. He grades fairly and is a kind person; however, he mumbles his words and you literally cannot understand what he is saying. Go to CLAS. TA Emily will get you through this class.

Honestly hes pretty chill. This class is more of a reflection of you. Put in the work? Good grade. Dont go to class/look at notes? Dont get a good grade. I did less than the bare minimum and got a B so its pretty chill. Just be sure to study cause if you miss 1 thing it stacks.

His lectures may be boring at times as he only goes over problems and speaks softly, but was helpful to understand when it comes to preparing for midterms and the final. His exams were fair as he graded them based on effort and accuracy and gives a curve at the end if we show exordinary effort. Overall, chill professor that made course fairly mid.

You would have to attend his classes to understand material. His teaching style is very boring, he only does problem examples to teach you (I learned best this way so it was easy for me). His practice exams are somewhat like his exams but shaped differently. He is a very nice teacher, just attend lectures and do homework.

Very boring class, so I stopped showing up after the first week. However, Porter is such a nice professor and very accommodating with making up grades. One of few professors who truly wants you to succeed.
