Reviews of professor Victor Matos

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Matos is a great professor. He's very knowledgeable and gives very clear lectures. Two issues with the class. We did not finish the material. And it was very easy. His lectures are so detailed that you really understand the material but I wish his assignments were more difficult because that's how you get better that CS.

Professor Matos is highly knowledgeable in the field of CSCI. He is really nice and cares about his students. He record his lectures, but its best if you show up to the live lecture to ask questions. CSCI is a hard field, so dont expect to pass easily. You will have to put in work, but Professor Matos will do his best to set you up to succeed.

This professor presented a midterm to the class that had no study guide or practice. I listed out the potential things that I needed to study and asked the professor to confirm if that is what could be on the test, and he said "yes". I confronted the professor about this post midterm, and he said, "there was a miscommunication".

Take another prof.

Extremely intelligent and personable professor who is always willing to go the extra mile to help his students. He is knowledgeable about current practices in the field of software engineering and has interesting anecdotes and historical stories behind each topic. His class gave me a solid foundation and let me ace later classes such as CS3.

very boring lectures, he is a nice dude but tests are very hard. quizzes are on Quizlet. helps you with labs and accepts late hw. no xtra credit. you have to teach yourself the class. you will most likely pass with an A or a very high B. no text book needed.

His lectures are very boring and repetitive. Very tough grader on the exams. He will take away lab grades if he thinks people are cheating. Very specific questions on quizzes, very difficult to get an A in the class

Professor Matos is an expert in Java with years of experience with Android development (Java). If you are a CS major, he's PERFECT for you! Ask him about complex topics and he'll help you understand it. If you are not a CS major, he's PERFECT for you! His classes are easy to pass. Grades based on 3 programming exams and weekly homework.

He is a good professor but not for an asynchronous class. His lectures are long and boring, but they get the job done. He's not very available for extra help. The weekly labs can be difficult, but if u watch the lectures, attend his OH, and seek help, u should be fine. Being able to do the labs will make or break your grade. Quizzes are free points

To be honest I would avoid matos's class he is terrible at giving lectures and they are super boring, Not only that the grade basically depends on the three midterms which are super hard if you haven't taught yourself or read the book as they cover stuff he doesn't teach you. Same for quizzes but those are on quizzlet so :D
