Reviews of professor Matthew Rosenthal

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Essay has extremely broad rubrics, yet students are expected to somehow find their way into a very narrow criteria of what Rosenthal secretly expects, without any actual direction from the professor at all. Tests are structured as memorization vomits, with little testing on actual comprehension (I got As on both) Overall, a terrible experience.

Rosenthal was a mess, he was a terrible teacher, had no idea what he was talking about and was not available for help if needed. He gave lengthy study guides that were irrelevant to the exams, I spent 12 hours + studying for his exams. I was a 4.0 student until his class.

I enjoyed this class! Rosenthal is a bit unorganized (random assignments every once in a while) but he never assigned too much work in an unreasonable amount of time. A big part of this class is working with a group to run a research study, so try to pick a solid group to work with. Tests are easy if you complete the study guides and memorize them.

Had multiple issues with him not clearly communicating something and receiving poor grades because of it. He seems to believe that he is always right, i'm sure he's often right as he is very smart and educated in his subject, but students can be right too. Would not take this class under him again or frankly any class with him as the professor.

Rosenthal was a very disorganized and hard Professor he gave most of the grade based on two test and a paper and a handful of assignments. He was a very harsh grader, he had lengthy study guides which did not cover most exam material. He told us during class something would show up on the exam but it never was.

Very accessible and really seems to care about what he teaches- definitely would take another class with him!
