he was chill, professor thoren was terrible though, wasn't TA's fault

good T.A.

Super nice, wrote everything out by hand on the board which was great, curved the crap out of the class at the end which saved me

This guy is an awesome teacher! Very helpful. I definitely recommend him!

He is extremely helpful and wants you to do well in the course. He was always eager to hear constructive criticism in order to take steps to make the course better also, which says a lot. Probably my best professor at UCSB and he is still a new professor and only going to get better!

Lectures are not mandatory. Midterms and final are not too hard.

He's awesome. That's all you need to know.

He's a good but a bit quiet.

Good TA. Always knew willing to help whenever there were any doubts. Did his best to clarify difficult concepts.

too hard

Really straightforward guy, knew what he was talking about. I always left section with a stronger understanding of the subject and a more calm and collected self because of it. Good with questions, I wasn't afraid to approach him, even if I didn't have a specific question.

Matt is by far the best math professor on campus. His lectures are clear and concise, and his tests follow his lecture examples and homework problems closely. Wish I had him for all my other math classes

I normally hate my math TAs at this school but Matt Porter was awesome and very helpful. Got an A in a tough math class and I believe Matt Porter was a significant reason for this

He explained some concepts clearly, but others were just difficult to understand even after explaining.

Great TA. He can communicate math to students much more clearly than other math TAs. Was very helpful in office hours, and you can tell he enjoys teaching students.

He is willing to answer questions. However, sometimes I don't get what is he talking about...

Matt was awesome! I was in his office literally every week and he helped me immensely with the material. He's a truly good guy and TA, make sure you take advantage!

he's a nice guy but the subject was hard to understand so i dont blame it on him, he teach me more then the professor

I had him as a TA, and honestly without him most people in the class would have not understood the material since the teacher wasn't so good at explaining the material to the class

Love Matt, he is such an amazing guy, clear and helpful throughout lecture. I enjoyed attending his class and office hours, he would spend time explaining the material over and over until understood. highly recommended

Great TA, answered questions in detail and was always available. Some of the examples were confusing but cleared it up by the end of section

Had him as a TA for Math 3B and he was a great teacher, very helpful.

Matt was a great TA. Super helpful during section and in office hours.

Great TA; very clear and easy to follow. Nice guy too. Make sure to go to sections for quizzes.
