ECON1A . Porter M J 11 Years Ago

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.

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

Matt was SUPER flexible and was truly there for the students. SUPER NICE. Teaching-wise, he was straight to the point, gave us the necessary materials to do well on the quiz. Matt gave us supplemental material to prepare us for the final. He let me take quizzes in other sections, so he was REALLY nice and forgiving.

He was a good ta. He was really helpful during office hours and during section. He explained everything clearly and concisely and if you didn't get it he would try to explain it in multiple ways so you would eventually understand it. He is also really nice so get him if you can

He was a very helpful and understanding teacher. Told a cheesy math joke in the beginning of class but that's what I will always remember him for

He was a great at teaching the material, and he was very funny. If you had a question he made sure that when he went over it with you that you completely understood the material at hand.

Matt may not come off as engaging at first but it doesn't take long to notice the clarity in his teaching style, which involved examples and many different perspectives on how calculus problems can be solved. He was always very available outside of class and very willing to provide extra explanations. I'd take another class with Matt for sure!

Professor was very enthusiastic about the subject. Shows fun math videos at the end of the class and often shows us how the material we learn in class is useful in real life. Very helpful during office hours and was always had a concise and clear explanation for class especially when answering homework questions.

Matt is a great professor. I went to his office hours 2-3 times a week and he never failed to help me. His lectures were clear an concise, and he enabled me to understand everything. I had to take 34A twice, but with Matt's teaching I got an A+ in this course. It was nice to have a good math teacher finally.
