Reviews of professor Matthew Warner-Davies

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Was an interesting class to take, loved learning about everything. Just be prepared for a LOT of writing. The writing assignments were the most difficult for me. Otherwise, great professor.

If you're taking him for Art 01, then make sure you are paying attention and keeping up with the lectures and reading assignments because if you aren't doing it, you will completely fail his class and eventually drop. Thankfully I didn't since it's always the writing assignments that make it difficult and I eventually knew what he's looking for.

He's overall a good teacher but I've encountered an issue with him that is common among art teachers; grading and judging the work of students based on personal vision or taste rather than objectively and failing to take the student's vision and reasoning into account. Some project directions are poorly explained and this leads to lower grade.

His art critiques are useful and informative.

Good prof. He would critique my work like crazy but I still got 100 on every project. 1 essay during the semester. Attendance is not mandatory but its impossible to pass if you're not there since all the projects are done using class equipment. Pretty nice guy overall. Fun projects that allow you to be very creative with your approach.

He does so many writing assignments and is very strict with plagiarism. He does not round your grade up at all. Overall his class was very boring and time consuming. Although his quizzes and exams were easy and sometimes based on things said during the lectures.

I'm a little late to rate him but i had him last semester and every week you have to write a 300-400 word essay. i didn't get to enjoy the class at all because i was so stressed about the writing assignments, he was a very tough grader, and he took forever to grade the essays, from like 2-4 weeks sometimes. the quizzes were easy enough though

Professor did a good job teaching through instructional videos and being available during office hours, and afterwards if you needed. He was helpful and cared. Biggest downside with the online version was having to respond to everyone else's concept drawings and then their final pieces. Overall he was a good professor and I recommend him.

I've taken this guy four times; he's the real deal, super caring and understandable. He is an incredibly tough grader, but his assignments are often challenging and creative. He may expect a lot, but he's chill and down to earth. He's very respectful of his students and answers questions easily. The classes are never a chore to attend.
