Reviews of professor Andrea Matranga

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Really sweet man. Most people don't participate in class, even though he grades on participation. If you talk or are involved he will really like you. You have to read hard economic papers but there was only 4 and you have to write a basic summary. Easy points, Easy grader.

There are two midterms and one final, and weekly homework assignments. He speaks in a monotone voice the entire lecture, and is extremely boring. If by chance, you are listening to his lecture, you'd end up more confused, than if you'd never read the textbook. His homework assignments do nothing to help you prepare for his tests.

He is a very caring professor. It is very lecture-heavy at times, but he is always accessible outside of class if you need help. Very accommodating to students. You get out of it what you put into it. Sometimes rambles about stuff that we don't need to know. Make sure you go to his office hours.

The class is all lectures, he does about one chapter a week. There is weekly homework that is pretty easy and is graded based on completion. The grades are made of 2 midterms, 2 projects, a final and then the homework. Does not give feedback on midterms and can be hard to follow when he is lecturing. Good personality and cares about students

His lectures are very fast paced and he is actually really funny if you pay attention. He posts powerpoints on blackboard. You don't have to read the textbook if you take good notes in class but it definitely helps. he teaches you material then tests you on your ability to apply it to real life which is why people say the tests are hard

Some of the reviews scared me but he doesn't have a heavy accent, so don't worry about that. However, he wasn't very engaging and half the kids in my class were falling asleep during the lecture; it was hard to stay awake. He's a really nice teacher though. Ended up dropping his class after getting into Kyle Hampton's and take him instead if u can!
