Reviews of professor Matthew Gervais

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Hey, I wanted to make a clear distinction between Dr. Gervais' PSYC 391 courses - there is a culture course and a newer emotion course - please remember to make it known which one you took, it isn't fair to rip him when his culture course has gotten rave reviews and it seems his emotion course has been less than ideal. I took Culture!

Found him to be patronizing and rude. On many occasions I tried to talk to him, he always seemed to be talking down to me. I found his lectures to be poorly done and the class overall to be poorly organized. I would suggest skipping this one, he and his curving down is not worth the effort.

For all those out there who did not like 391 or Matt, dont worry he isnt even truly a Psyc instructor, he couldnt get that far so he stuck to Anthropology. He is meaningless

Professor Gervais ratings have nothing to do with the difficulty of the course, only people who are upset about a poor grading scheme. However, he has since corrected it and now a 90 will be within the A range (the norm for psyc upper divisions). He is very passionate about the material and is very accessible for help! Ignore the bad reviews!!!

Do not take Mathew, was a horrible instructor. He was so disorganized, seemed to barely understand the material and read from a script. In the end he had to curve everyone down to the point where a 90 was a B.

Took psyc 391 with him in Spring 2020. He is an amazing prof. So caring, so considerate. Went out of the way to make sure all his students scored good in times of pandemic. Very flexible and responsive
