Reviews of professor Matthew Dugas

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dugas really tries his best to help his students understand, but it doesn't shift how anal he is on students being SPECIFIC on students showing their understanding on the curriculum. If an example isn't perfect on a test, he'll acknowledge you might understand it, but only gives a fraction of the points. Lab was fun though, helped me with the class

If you go to class, do the practice exam, and study the slides, you should be prepared for the exam. Go to every class - and he will also be kinder if you ask him for help you if he sees you in class and knows you are trying. I also noticed that when he wrote stuff up on the white board it was likely an exam question, so be sure to write that down.

Generally speaking, he is a decent person. He is accommodating to a point when things go wrong, but that has its limits in a large class with 100 people. Even when you document what went wrong, and hindered your participation. Observed double standards. He is a qualified person and researcher, but he is relatively new to teaching and it shows.

this dude is an asshole, the class is so boring and he ridicules any student that asks a question. he legit does not care about students and if they are doing well. would never take this professor again, I hate this class with a passion.

It is confusing to figure out what is expected and how he explains things (or refuses to explain things) does not help. Obviously does not care about students.

Dugas is a tough grader. He uses precise language and there's a learning curve to being able to consistently understand exactly what he's asking for. However, it will pay off in the long run if you invest in thoroughly understanding his course. He has also gone way out of his way to help me with career stuff. He really cares and shows it.
