Reviews of professor Matthew Reinke

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Provided few grading rubric criteria, and deducts points off projects with few comments that didn't help. Multiple corrections on assignments due to errors. Expects that you'll understand material from his lectures. Very tough to reach outside of class. Had same expectations of an in-person class, even though online due to COVID19.

Did not proofread assignment instructions and had to reissue many due to errors, failed groups for projects that had no grading rubric and provided a few short sentences that did not state what points were lost for which answers. Answered texts during lecture. Stated he expected better work due to COVID19 since we can rewatch his lectures online.

If the class is supposed to start at 3:30, he may email you the day-of that the class starts at 4:30, and if you don't see the email that corrects that to 4 you've just missed half an hour of class. When you do eventually sign in to class, create a drinking game of the inaccuracies he spouts during lecture, or a side chat to vent through.

Matt is an excellent teacher who takes a 'thrilling' topic such as audit and makes it interesting. He references real-world scenarios and is a very educated professor in his field. Tests are definitely hard, and he is a very strict grader on group projects. Groups will be different for each of the three projects, but it is doable. Good luck!

Disappointing Audit Professor. The professor's teaching methods were ineffective. Concepts were poorly explained, making it challenging to understand the material. Frustrating experience. Professor's expectations for the project and exam were strictly limited to regurgitating class material word for word.
