Reviews of professor Matthew Brown

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Brown definitely knows linguistic material, but whether or not he can teach it is another story. Lectures were monotonous and dry. The classwork and readings are normal regarding the class level expectancy. Three exams and one final, after snow storm he combined third exam/final. Two papers. Nice guy overall. Wouldn't take the class again.

Do not take this class! The professor did not grade work and submitted final grades without letting us know what we got on the 3 out of 5 assignments in the course. There is a quiz at the beginning of each class over the 5 REQUIRED books that you must buy which are not cheap. I definitely would not recommend it.

Dr. Brown took over a month to grade midterms and never ended up grading neither our short paper done over thanksgiving break and our final exam. At the end of the semester, his course was erased from canvas and I was never able to access my final grade, just was left with the same grade as before, which reflected on my official grade.

This is a 7 week course, so the material was very crammed together which added to the difficulty level. Coming from someone who tends to get by with As without studying - you're going to need to study. Some tests did take quite a while to be graded. I had no issue getting timely email responses from him & the lecture vids were clear & helpful.
