Reviews of professor Matthew McCoy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you are not comfortable with math, take this prof. He is great at creating a learning environment free from judgement. He always tells the class to ask him questions or set up quick meetings with him if we are confused. Make sure to keep up with assignments. He is very willing to work with you if you show that you are putting in effort!

Professor McCoy is a great teacher. If you care about your education and really want to know what you are doing not just copy and paste, I will definitely recommend him. Attendance is not mandatory, so when you skip class, he always posts notes on Canvas. Follow his rules, get your homework done and you will be fine. he gives clues for exam tho

If you are a math robot that can be sure that nothing will ever go wrong take this class. However, if you're a human who may get sick, have technology and WIFI issues, or turn something in a couple hours late, I don't recommend. He would always tell us that if we miss a test for any reason we get a zero and lose points on exams if WIFI goes out.

I didn't pass, but that wasn't because of Matt. He is the best mathematics lecturer I've experienced. I've never seen anyone show so much work on the board and I honestly think that allows for a greater grasp. I took the Summer class and it was just too fast paced for me to keep up, but that was because of the online due dates in rapid succession.

He was OKAY. The lectures typically left out a lot of material that was covered on the tests and physically going to class didn't seem to be much of a benefit because of that. I mostly had to teach myself everything with MyMathLab and the online homework so this felt like an online class instead of an on-campus class. Could've been worse though.

I've flunked College Algebra 1 twice. I dreaded retaking this class again, but I got a great instructor this time! Matthew is a caring teacher who will always take the time to answer questions and re-explain a concept if needed, never making you feel dumb. I never opened the textbook--My Math Lab has everything you need to learn the concepts.

Prof McCoy gives very clear guidelines on how to do well in his class. All of your homework will be online on MyMathLab, which has step by step examples for all sorts of Math questions so it can really help clear your concepts. Do your homework on time. Keep up with homework and study for quizzes/exams on time and you will end with a good grade.
