Reviews of professor Lincoln Matra

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I love this teacher. Very kind and cares about his students. Very funny and makes a lot of jokes. Would take him again. Easy assignments and quizzes. Very lenient grader. He's lit!

He's okay. Only one midterm and final, but no study guide. Just vaguely tells you what you should focus on. Grades rough on the homework. He'll deduct points for the most trivial things. On the other hand, he is passionate about this subject, and he clearly cares about his students' well-being. Very approachable even outside of class times.

Professor Matra is very good and really knows his stuff, I just didn't vibe with him. The class mostly consists of decent lectures, with lots of real-life examples. He does what he can, but 240 is an extremely boring course. Participation is weighted very heavily, at about 20%. Other than that, 2 tests and a few fair homework assignments.

Professor Matra is your best option for CS240. Like other reviews, this class is dry and if you are not a CIS major your time is best spent elsewhere. Professor Matra is very funny and tries to keep it interesting, but he also doesnt pester you if you want to be on your computer. Make sure to at least scan the text book before the test.

He's new. The class is enjoyable and he is a nice guy and good professor but he is a very hard grader on participation and presentations. All hw and exams are easy but be cautious of your participation, it counts heavily and it graded harshly unlike other IT profs. Raise your hand and make it seem as though you want to learn.

Easy A. If you complete the DC quizzes (easily done) and the excel assignments (kinda hard but normal). You will get a good grade. One presentation which is a breeze and barely needs work. A few in class quizzes which are just as easy as the homework. He likes participation so raise your hand once a class. Lectures mostly but they're fine.
