MATH3B . Porter M J 10 Years Ago

The main professor for this class was not very good, but Matt was very helpful in clarifying a lot of the concepts she failed to get across. He's also a super chill and nice guy, take his class if you can.

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 extremely helpful and was very calm and collected in his approach to teaching us the fundamentals of math concepts. He explained things in a very logical and conceptually understandable way, and I would recommend him as a teacher or TA for any of my math-related classes. Thank you Matt.

Has his heart in the right place, but rather difficult to understand at times; I still did well in the class though

MATH3B . Porter M J 10 Years Ago

Matt was very helpful in my section and in office hours. One day I came to his office an hour earlier than usual and he didn't mind helping me. He was one of the most patients TA's I've had. As I moved on to higher math classes, where Matt wasn't a TA, he would still help me when I asked him questions.

Matt was a good TA, he made it easy to understand the concepts of finding the area or volume of areas rotated around certain axis and he was patient.

MATH5A . Porter M J 10 Years Ago

Nice dude who was able to take some of the more difficult concepts of linear algebra and dumb them down, so to speak. Enjoyed his teaching in sections, always had good and relevant examples.

MATH34B . Porter M J 10 Years Ago

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.
