Reviews of professor Matthew Barros

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof Barros is fantastic, but I absolutely hated the class material. I found linguistics to be immensely dull and difficult. But the class was a fairly easy A. I do recommend showing up even if attendance is not mandatory, as he seemed really bummed near the end of the class when barely anyone showed up.

Barros is a funny and relaxed guy. If you put in at least some effort, you will do fine in the class. Lectures pair well with the reading, and he infuses humor. Good at answering questions. Quizzes are not that bad so long as you're paying attention and read the book, and discussion posts are really easy. Take if linguistics sounds interesting.

Matt Barros is actually a legend. Really cares about getting to know students and giving great lectures. He made the material incredibly interesting and was flexible when students had conflicts with test times, homeworks, etc. His dry humor made going to a 9 am class really enjoyable and his class was something I looked forward to

Professor Barron truly cares about his students. He is very understanding and open to work with students. His lectures are fun and the textbook is a free download. If you're interested in linguistics or looking for a class to stretch your knowledge and thinking, take this class.
