Reviews of professor Matthew Simon

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Mr Simon let us watch movies instead of reading books for us to write our essays on. We were given PLENTY of time to complete essays, each essay has a clear rubric for you to read at all times. For my specific class, 2 essays were on paper, while 2 were video recorded essays. Generous grader! Would recommend.

His grading rubric is too subjective. It's not clear, and too many points get taken off for minor issues. Rough drafts are graded in a peer review, which isn't helpful, since classmates don't know any more about essay perfection than I do. Don't have peers do rough draft reviews and then be disappointed when half the class fails everything.

Professor Simon is an excellent professor. He is sometimes late to class but will answer any questions you afterwards. He is easy on attendance. Lots of reading, gives good feedback, a decent number of papers. Is caring and not really test heavy. But reading is pretty easy. Discussion posts are many and kind of annoying. Is very understanding.

Discussion post are a little bit annoying but the reading is somewhat good. great teacher though and work with you if their is an issue you are having in the class. overall a good teacher just what you expect out of a college professor.
