Reviews of professor Matthew Potts

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Over 60 students in the class and roughly 90% of them were confused with what was going on. Classes were riddled with information that no one could understand, and there was constant confusion between the staff on how to do things in excel. This class is difficult because of how unorganized it was, and I highly recommend that you do NOT take it.

Professor Potts barely taught any of the material in labs. Everyone in the class struggled to complete labs and the GSIs were the only ones who got us through. If youre taking this class, prepare to teach yourself everything for the labs and/or go to office hours twice a week.

Matthew really cares about students and answering any questions- makes environmental science very accessible to everyone as an intro class. He likes to encourage class discussion so find someone you like to sit next to!

Personally, I was really disappointed in this class. I felt Matthew was a pretty confusing lecturer. He would go back and forth on his definitions and the material for the class was so scattered. You learn something very different from what the weekly assignment would be and you depend so much on the GSI for help since they are the ones teaching...

Very passionate scientist. Respect and appreciation for all roles and ppl at CD. Jokes mediocre at best.

Really difficult labs that everyone struggled with on material that was rarely taught. Ended up teaching myself excel and majority of the course
