I love Matt Porter. best professor ever, please take his class. Two midterms and a final.

Grades super easy, and helps with any problems you may have.

I have never had a professor who cares about his students more than Matt Porter. Not only did he rearrange the syllabus for this class(after being requested) so the tests would be worth less than the homework, but he also canceled the final exam because the student felt unsafe on campus. Go to lectures and you'll get an A.

Porter does not make attendance mandatory and posts all lecture notes online. He does cancel lectures quite a bit, but again, all notes are posted online. Overall, he shows that he cares for his students and will change the grade weights to benefit them. Porter is a great guy, and I would definitely recommend taking one of his classes.

Everything is posted online. I only went to lecture maybe 4 times during the quarter. 2 midterms and a final which he lets you bring cheat sheets to all. There's homework due every week but you can honestly get by using chatgpt for each question. He's a nice dude but so boring, class was super easy tho and he has a very generous curve at the end.

Not the best lecturer, but works with all students to do well, he is really compassionate. Just go to office hours for both your TA and him, and you will be fine. His review packets for tests are harder than the real one, use those and note problems, and CLAS practice tests to study.

i had porter for math 34a/b. i find that his lectures weren't super clear and his teaching can be a bit confusing at times. but, i did the CLAS tutoring sessions they were super helpful, and made the course much clearer. porter is also a lenient grader and is very understanding, also incorporated a huge grade curve at the end of the quarter.

Didn't show up much to lectures or seem to want to be there. But other than that, he was nice. He would teach the basics, then we would have to figure out the rest, but also extended dates for the weekly homework frequently. Our last homework assignment ended up being extra credit, and he changed the grading scale to help us succeed in the class.

lectures were boring and he sometimes didnt show up so i barely went and still got an A. weekly webwork for homework but thats it and we get a notecard on exams. lectures all posted online also im bad at math and thought this class was easy

Matt Porter is a great guy. I had him for both 2A and 2B in a row, and he is very clearly on the students' side. In 2A, he clearly had some personal matters which limited his abilities, but he went the extra mile to make sure those issues did not impact his students. As a student who isn't great at math, Porter made me believe I can actually do it.

Class is a joke. Lectures are boring/hard to understand. Often cancels lecture or doesn't show so I never made the effort to go. Weekly webwork hw is annoying but easy if you watch the lecture videos from a different prof. Still did well on the exams and you get to use a 3x5 card. Randomly changed the grading week 10 but made it easier to pass

goes rlly fast in lecture. but the tests are really easy

Before taking this course, I used to love math, HOWEVER, Matt Porter made me hate calculus and anything it had to offer. Although it was my first time taking a calculus course, Porter made it 100 times harder to understand and made me dread going to class. In short, if you are looking to pass Math 2A with a good grade, DO NOT take Matt Porter.

A professor that provides different aspects to think about the questions and concepts. Though sometimes it's a "trust me, it works" scenario, but he did the proofs and canceled all the doubts. Unfortunately he had some family issues to deal with during my quarter, which forced him to cancel a lot of classes. I would like to take more of his class.

Amazing professor. Pay attention in his lectures but he posts his notes anyway. Exams are exactly like the practice exams so make sure to do the review.

terrible, seriously. his lectures are monotone and just examples, no real explanations of how to do the work. i spent a majority of the class teaching myself. the homework took hours but at least it was a good cushion for grading. he curves the grades at the end a lot but that doesn't change the fact that his teaching abilities are nonexistent

His lectures are equivalent to a double dose of valium, he makes no effort to explain topics clearly and basically just whisper mumbles through a few irrelevant examples. He cancels class pretty often, and on multiple occasions he just did not show up to class, forcing 100 students to get out of bed at 8am and come to class for no reason.

I really liked Matt. I took him for Math 2A this fall quarter, and was surprised about how easy the subject was. It was most of the things covered in my Highschool AP Calculus AB class, so the content is not too challenging. If you do the Webworks (weekly assignments), you already secure yourself a C. The rest is really on your test performances.

Porter cares about his students. If you put in the work, you'll get an A - simple as that.

I never went to lecture and still did fine. The exams were pretty reflective of the practice tests so it was easy to cram right before the tests. Weekly webwork homeworks which were pretty annoying but not that bad. Huge curve added at the end of the course which was awesome. He just wants everyone to do well

I never went to lecture he uploads vids of another prof that are easier to follow along. Weekly webworks were so hard but u can do as many times as needed to get full credit. 2 midterms, 1 final all insanely easy compared to webworks. Section attendance mandatory. Not the best at teaching but he seems nice and the class was easy so

Could not comprehend a single thing Professor Porter said during lecture. Stopped showing up after the first midterm. He grades fairly and is a kind person; however, he mumbles his words and you literally cannot understand what he is saying. Go to CLAS. TA Emily will get you through this class.

Honestly hes pretty chill. This class is more of a reflection of you. Put in the work? Good grade. Dont go to class/look at notes? Dont get a good grade. I did less than the bare minimum and got a B so its pretty chill. Just be sure to study cause if you miss 1 thing it stacks.

His lectures may be boring at times as he only goes over problems and speaks softly, but was helpful to understand when it comes to preparing for midterms and the final. His exams were fair as he graded them based on effort and accuracy and gives a curve at the end if we show exordinary effort. Overall, chill professor that made course fairly mid.
