Reviews of professor Matthew Berry

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Genuinely one of the best professors at Cal. He assigns a lot of reading, and I can't exactly say his essay prompts are easy, but he's caring, clear, and organized. He happily helps students and will absolutely change deadlines or alter the course schedule if given a sensible reason. His passion for the material is also infectious. 10/10

Berry is my favorite professor! His course is not so easy, but I am sure that he is extremely inspirational. It is really useful to go to his office hour to discuss the paper and ask the review study guide. I am sure that if you put efforts in it, you will definitely get good grades on exams. He curves exams so that everyone get much better grades.

My previous rating was deleted. The course was interesting but Professor Berry is a little inconsiderate with how fast he speaks. We understand he's trying to feed us a lot of information each lecture but would have appreciated the slides being posted prior to class. Two big papers, a midterm and a final exam. Lots of dense and jargony reading.

Prof. Berry makes the media studies major -- he is a true king, i would follow him into war. His office hours are the most helpful I have ever had at Cal -- he wants you to succeed and wants to challenge you. All of his essay prompts allow you to research something you are interested in. Reading heavy but he carefully selects the best topics. KING!

Professor really cares about students, however the amount of reading and the demand from the essays is more than other MS classes. The essays are complex, difficult, and time-consuming. Course content is dense and long lectures are pretty boring but he tries to make it interesting. There are daily quizzes and both tests and assignments are essays
