Reviews of professor Matthew Russo

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Really nice guy overall and great teacher. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about mathematics and he does not make tests purposefully tedious etc. Nice grader lots of partial credit.

Dr. Russo is a fantastic teacher who cares about his students (and animals, and bugs, etc. He's a gem). He claims to overexplain but I find that his teaching style is super helpful because by the time you get to calc 3 almost everyone has holes in their knowledge, so the detailed explanations are perfect.

He is the best of the best. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!!! Very thoroughly explains things and isn't a hard grader. Extremely understandable. He is somewhat long winded but that's because he explains everything so in depth. I haven't taken the final yet but have over a 100 in the class because he gave extra credit on the other exams. Partial credit grader!

Matthew is an amazing character and an even better lecturer. His energy and thoughtful insights into the material made Calculus II so much less daunting. If you take MAC 2312 expect to have a normal course load. I advise attending lectures unless you want a hard time. Calc 2 is a hard subject and he can only make it easier if you come to lectures.

Dr. Russo tried his best to make sure that everyone understood the material presented in class. He was very approachable and I never felt dumb whenever I asked him a question in class.

He's the best teacher we have here. Literally can't think of anyone who made such a tough subject so easy and so much fun. I legit loved this class so much and wish he taught calc 3.

He was one of the best math professors I have ever had and if you put in effort you should pass. He is super friendly and will answer any questions you have. Definitely recommend taking him.

There's lots of homework but he gave extensions if needed. He's very laid back and understanding about individual situations. He has office hours on an individual basis so if you want to meet with him you will have to schedule with him personally. The lectures are helpful but not mandatory he posts recordings and uploads his notes.

He's your best bet for this course, a gem of a guy who genuinely cares about his students. I don't know how else to characterize how amazing he really is. Legit made calculus 2 a cakewalk. I got 100% on everything and passed the course with more than a 100 because of all the extra credit because he was so good at teaching. Never was the best atmath

Russo is the best math teacher I have ever had. He uploads prewritten notes to canvas at the beginning of the semester that he mostly rewrites during class. I would write the notes before class and if I had any questions he can answer during class. He also posts study guides w sol the week of exams that are just like the exams. 4 exams for the sem
