Reviews of professor Clay Matlin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
ive taken multiple classes with clay. he assigns difficult readings, but is also very understanding and always willing to help you understand any mentioned concepts. you can absolutely get by in his class without reading everything anyways. seriously recommend esp if youre familiar with reading theory-- has a more progressive approach to teaching

He seems like a nice person. He does give a lot of readings and they are NOT easy... I try really hard for his class, I read online explanations, watch youtube videos, and read the passages he gives us and I still don't or barely understand. He also assigns 2 essays or an option of 1 long essay.

i really did not enjoy this class. clay is a nice enough guy, however the way he leads class is frustrating. he assigns massive readings weekly and then class is spent mostly with him talking about it. he occasionally asks for other's opinions so maybe 2 students get to speak, however participation is 60% of his grade but it's hard to speak

I really am not the kind of student who complains about homework or work load But this guy gives out crazy amount of reading to do every week and the text is so difficult it is impossible to actually read/understand it in time Literally none of the students were able to do all the readings he gave out DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS
