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.

Very helpful and wanted you to succeed. Definitely recommend !

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

Matt is great guy, very interesting lecture and easy exams, do your homework and show up in every class will result an easy A in the class!

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 fair & helpful teacher, didn't try to trick or be super nitpicky when it came to exams. Still assigned challenging problems to probe your knowledge & grasp of the material.

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

Very easy going, taught material well and in a non-convoluted matter. Quirky dude but overall I thought he was really cool. Pretty funny.

Very helpful and straight forward. Class is designed for you to learn and not trick you. I highly recommend him as a professor

Answered all my questions and helped me do well on the Final!

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.

Good but don't really remember much, too many other subjects have been memorized and forgotten since then

He was always very willing to help. His tests were funny and interesting and so were his lectures.

Matt was a great help for this course. Basically if you went to his sections and took advantage of office hours when needed, you did well. He reviewed the material at the level you needed for exams.

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

Great teacher; he explained to me concepts clearly. Probably would not have survived this class without him.

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.

Good over all
