Reviews of professor Matthew Perras

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Perras is one of the best civil engineering professors in our department. His Geological engineering and design class was extremely interesting with a possibility to learn various softwares to do rock FEMs. He is always willing to talk about his subject outside class time. Very organized. I only wish the final wasn't 40% (similar tp CIVL2160).

Amazing professor, always willing to help and listen to the opinion of the students. I have worked in the Land surveying field and concrete (formwork high-rise) for the past 10 years and defiantly can relate my experience to his expertise for what the students required to excel on the field.

Professor Perras works hard to ensure that his course content is engaging, applied to real-life studies, and overall well understood. Throughout his labs, recorded lectures and assignments, he found numerous ways to demonstrate real-life concepts and tools that are used in Civil Engineering. His notes are very informative and easy to understand.

Fun and Interesting course! You'll learn a lot in this course and if your planning to go into geotechnical engineering, this course is perfect for you. The content itself is not difficult but like any course, you need to put in the work. The professor is very helpful and throughout the semester he was there when I needed help or had concerns.

Prof. Perras is one of the best professors in the civil department. Rock mechanics is a difficult course but he boils it down to what you need to know and gives you the resources and his time to further explore topics if you want to learn more. He understands the pressures on students and seems to want to see his class learn and do well.
