Reviews of professor Matthew Phillips

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Matt was easily the best professor I've ever had throughout college. He doesn't take attendance but randomly he'll give you extra credit for just showing up (especially if the weather is gross). He is caring and genuine with his students and makes an interesting class even more exciting to go to. Highly recommend taking CSD 203 with him.

Here to hold you accountable Matthew as accountability goes both directions. Your lazy non committal answers to your students genuine concerns and questions is a fault that I do not care if you fix but should be pointed out for future students.

I thought he was good teacher. His lesson plan was pretty straight forward, and easy to follow. One thing though is he makes you buy an expensive book that we never use, you can easily get by without it. I would still take again.

The computer game design class was interesting, and I definitely learned a bit, but Phillips is condescending, and he spent a lot of time complaining about how underappreciated his own games are. His quizzes expected you to know things he did not teach, and he made the class buy an expensive textbook that he hadn't read and that I never needed.

Worst CS professors here. Does not really teach well at all. The class was easy, I had a 96 up until the final project where I emailed him about an issue i had that prevented me from running or saving the code, so I did not know what to do. I figured a late submission with docked points would be alright, but he gave me a 0 and did not care at all.
