Reviews of professor Robert Matera

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Matera is an excellent teacher. His style of instruction is heavy on preparation outside of class, which made this accelerated course extremely challenging. He creates opportunities during class for innovative learning and welcomes questions and is clearly very knowledgeable about the ancient world.

extremely patient, makes a real effort teach the content in diverse styles (memorization, games, songs, peer teaching). Very nitpicky but for good reason. Caring - even offered an extra practice hour since the course is so intensive. lenient with attendance, but if you dont go you WILL fail. really nice and intelligent guy, sad he might leave.

I love. He is so intelligent and eloquent, and knows his Latin. Hes fun to talk to about everything, from life to movies to classics, and he creates a really warm and welcoming atmosphere, which is helpful in such a challenging language. He wants you to learn, hes very smart, so helpful, an all around good guy. He does require exact translation.
