Reviews of professor Joshua Matteson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof. Matteson is very knowledgable and reliable. It's tough teaching controversial topics from a Christian perspective with facts, but he handles it gracefully. He encourages students to look beyond his lectures and do their research. I took a similar class in high school, but regardless, it was still fairly easy to pass and understand.

Prof. Matteson has been one of the few professors I have met who truly cares about his students. He is truly a great example of GCUs values, and spreads positivity in everything he does. He is a great man.

Prof. Matteson is an okay professor. Easy A. Instead of really teaching and lecturing he'll go off on tangents where he just preaches. It's hard to stay focused and feel like you need to be there. It felt like I was just teaching myself. His theology is a little wonky too, so use discernment with what he says.

One of the best professors at GCU! Professor Matteson made this class enjoyable and fun.

He's a great guy, really. He takes the time to really let his students get to know him and is very open to letting you talk to him outside of class. This is a mandatory class for everybody at GCU, and he knows that is the only reason most people are there lol.

I purposely took his class because he had such good reviews, but be warned, his class will feel like a complete waste of time. Youll sit for 1 hr and 45 min and think of everything else you could be doing instead. He tells stories the entire time, goes on random tangents, and still makes everyone do huge group assignments every single week.

Matteson's love for Jesus and teaching is well exemplified in every lecture he presented. He genuinely cares about all of his students and wants them to succeed. He made all assignments and quizzes easy to pass. He is also very knowledgeable about the Bible. I honestly would take another class with him if I could!

Very kind and funny. Very respectful if you are on SDS or learn at a slower pace

Joshua Matteson was a very kind and respectful funny professor. But very hard class with lots of memorizations. Joshua is very welcoming and kind to students on SDS who learn at a slower pace. And is very understanding to students who struggle in class. He will accommodate and do whatever it takes for a student to pass the class. great guy

I literally watched netflix everyday in his class and still passed the quizzes. Hes funny, very inspirational and very passionate about being a Christian! Sweetest professor ever, he explains how hell help students if theyre in need like if their car broke down or they need food. Hes a great person overal. Recommend!!
