If you are given an option to take Porter, TAKE HIM!! He makes the class very easy, all you have to do is watch/attend lecture, do webwork, take 2 midterms, and final. The tests were online and super easy too like the review worksheets. The prof is such a great lecturer, a little monotone, but explains math very well and is overall such a nice prof

Professor Porter can be a little monotonous while lecturing, but his lectures are extremely clear, he is easily the most accessible professor I've ever had (answers emails the same day), and his tests make sense.

Very nice. Cares that students succeed.

Matt Porter is the coolest/cutest. He's so nice and willing to help. He explains everything clearly. And his math jokes are so adorable. I normally hate math but I loved this class because of him.

great teacher

Was my TA for Math 34B. Helped to clarify the lectures pretty well and was always available for help during office hours

Matt was the most helpful math TA I've ever had, he was easy to talk to and always addressed my questions well. His office hours are super helpful.

Matt was a great TA, definitely made everything more clear and helped me out. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Matt is so patient and so helpful. He always took the time to go through problems step by step until it was clear to the students. He had nor problem putting in extra hours to help students as well. He is an asset to any educational department.

Matt was a great TA. The professor that quarter was new, so his lectures were unorganized, vague, and not very helpful. Matt, however, was always willing to clarify everything and practically retaught the lesson. He communicated well with the class, was approachable, and even held extra office hours if needed.

Very friendly and willing to help students. Most definitely a helpful instructor.

He was willing to answer questions during sections and also during office hours. He made sure that we knew when he would be available outside of section. Also, made sure that we understood what was being taught during lecture.

Matt was a great TA! He would go over hw problems and explain how to get to the correct answer very clearly. I did well on the exams because of his reviews before hand. Definitely recommend!!

The professor is amazing! I honestly didn't like math before but because he made it so interesting I really loved math. This sounds like I am high or something but no I really liked math because of him. He is very generous and funny and really helpful in everything. You are lucky to get him as a professor and I cannot say this about any professor

Matt is the best math teacher I have had since 7th grade! He takes the time to get to know his students and really help them if they need. Definitely take him if you can!

Explained things well. Knowledgeable and helpful

Matt actively made himself available to students for extra help. Though the lecture was typically clear, Matt did an excellent job of making section worth the time of attending through ensuring that the students understood the material.

Matt was great! I took him over the summer & his lectures were always clear & he really cared that his students understood a topic before moving on to the next. Always willing to explain things over. Like with any course if you pay attention & do the homework you will do fine. He went over hw problems in class & had a review b4 exams. I loved him!

Matt was great. Always helpful.

He was very helpful and clear with his sections. Very easy to approach and wouldn't mind having him as a TA again.

Matt helped make confusing topics understandable during section. Our professor during lecture was unable to connect with students, so it was nice to have someone who could actually communicate with us. Also super accommodating to my schedule! When I had to miss a section, I was able to make it up later that day with no penalty.

Vey helpful TA and easy to understand.

Cool guy, his teaching style is very clear.

Explained the material well and then would test on the things that were lectured, no tricks, made everything really clear cut, very knowledgeable and easy to ask questions. Always came in prepared and organized.
