Reviews of professor Matthew Carroll

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He is a very easy person to get along with. He treats you as a friend and does his best to make sure you understand the topic, overall great guy

Tough grader and didn't give clear feedback for what he wanted. Didn't make the course interesting at all. You have to do the work and if it's not done perfectly you will most likely do mediocre at best. Wouldn't recommend

Had to write 6 papers over through the course, some varying in difficulty. Lectures were way too heavy, no way that anyone could write them all out, would probably be two exercise books worth. Too much information to be able to absorb any of it. Nice person but lectures could be better and grading was too tough with not enough info about papers

One of the worst graders I've ever met. It's like he enjoys lowering the class average. I had to take this course as it was mandatory. Don't waste your time with him.

Do not take this guy for 1090. One of the worst experiences I've ever had. No proper feedback to how to improve writing.

Dr. Carroll understood that most of the people who were taking this course were only taking it because they needed the credit, so he made the material easily understandable and kept the content engaging. Show up for the midterms and read the notes online and you'll be fine as long as you hand in assignments and put in a decent effort. Great prof!

I took English 1090 online with him and found it a bit difficult. Hes a tough grader and isnt really specific in what he wants. He was friendly and always responded to emails quickly. There was a weekly discussion post and assignment. 3 major essays and a final! If you put the work in youll do fine

WORST PROFFESSOR EVER .

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Would not recommend him to anyone. He is a very tough grader and does not make it clear about what he wants. I've always been good at English and with him, never received higher than a 70. The highest grade in our class for our final essays was 72. Avoid at all costs.
