Easy class

Matt was my TA for what is now math 6A. He was one of the most helpful and nice TAs I've ever had. He was bomb at explaining concepts that seemed really hard in class, making the class much easier and was able to do this with students of different learning levels. Loved him and highly recommended!

Great TA! I struggled with calculus but he made himself very available to help and explained things very well which helped me get an A in the class.

Matt Porter was the TA for Professor Buoni, and was excellent at relating the material in layman's terms and engaging the class to challenge themselves with the material.

Matt is a fantastic teacher. I wasn't looking forward to taking lin. alg./ diff. eqs, but he made it interesting (wow!). He is approachable and could explain things in a way that made sense to me. I haven't written reviews for the other math teachers I had at UCSB, but Matt really stood out. I would definitely recommend taking his class for linear.

Matt is a methodical teacher. He was clear and precise with his language and methods. Made complicated ideas simpler for those who needed help. Very friendly and approachable. Lots of questions asked, and lots of questions answered well.

I had Matt as a TA for my Math 3A teacher, he is the only reason I passed the course. Very clear and helpful.

Great Porfessor! Definitely knows his stuff.

Super nice guy who actually cares that you understand the material. He's very clear and gives useful example problems.

Very helpful and clear TA, probably the only reason I passed the class! He also was in close contact with the teacher so he was able to give frequent updates about tests, and clarify all the problems that were unclear in class. Definitely recommend him for future students

He is good and friendly

Good TA, pretty helpful and clear.

I took MATH 3C with this professor, and I would have to say that he was my favorite math teacher here at UCSB. Class was not mandatory, but I would recommend going. He was really easy to understand and could effectively convey the concepts to the class. The tests were also completely reasonable and there were no questions that were impossible.

Appreciated that he tried his best to clarify what the visiting professor was trying to say. Good teacher assistant

Great TA! Very helpful and takes hints from students on which ways they learn better.

I had him as a TA for Math 3C which dealt with Linear Algebra. He was student oriented, in that what he covered in section was consistent with the material we had to know and was always open to answering questions. He would answer the questions in a manner that suited the student such that we would understand the topic clearly and such.

Such courage in teaching the maths.

Helpful t.a that went over all the practice tests in Econ. He tried to explain higher level theories for the students that wanted extra insight. If you are interested in the major, then he is a great teacher. The only thing is that the section felt really slow. Overall, good T.A and helpful.

Very punctual and helpful. Could always be contacted which is great

I had him as a TA during the summer and overall he was a very helpful TA.

Good TA.

Great TA

Overall awesome TA! He had extra handouts with helpful material that other TAs for the same course did not make or give to their students. He stayed after class for as long as needed to answer and explain questions and concepts and was clear in his explanations. He was also very approachable and a great guy

Great prof. lighthearted and does his best to keep the class interesting. Tests are straightforward and he is very helpful
