Reviews of professor Matthew Braaten

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took this class during winter online and it was a horrible experience. Any time I would ask him a question because his assignments were so difficult to understand he would reply and tell me to relax and still didn't help me. I would NOT recommend this professor to anyone.

The majority of the work is this huge amount of useless questions that are for participation (no feedback, just busy-work). Further, he didn't seem familiar with the textbook. He was not engaged with our class and gave little actual instruction. The few assignments he did grade were lackluster. Don't take his class.

In the beginning, he did a good job of being consistent with the workload and providing clear instructions. For the final assignment, we had to do a group project that didn't seem to be that difficult. After reading the instructions he left for class with more questions which followed by a lot of emails back and forth that gave me more questions.

I recommend his class if you don't have many classes because his workload is pretty heavy but easy, and his assignments is usually 2-4 things and usually Monday deadline. You have to study at least a couple of hours before the quiz and watch his lecture to help and be sure to do great in his quiz cause it plays pretty big role in your score.

He is the single most unprofessional instructor Ive ever had in my whole academic journey. Not approachable, extremely self-centered, and disconnected. Not only he assigns tons of essays, but also grades them almost at the end of the semester. I would not recommend him to anyone. Save your nerves and take this class with another professor.

Prof B assigns a ton of useless work which takes hours to complete. His quizzes are annoying. Save your brain cells and take this class w/ a diff prof unless you want to spend 10 hrs or more of your day just on his class.

Wow... Biggest mistake. He gives an insane amount of busy work that took hours to complete and the quizzes were ridiculously difficult. We had to go to 2 plays and write 2 page essays on them! And on top of that a group project where he assigns strangers as your pair. Not to mention so rude and mean! Save your time and take it with someone else.

 All I want to say is AVOID this professor. He made my life a living hell. He always has to comment something negative on my assignments. His tests are ridiculous with no multiple-choice questions and tests r TIMED with hardly enough time. Tests are mainly writing or selected responses. You have to spend time reading the textbook to pass the exams
