Reviews of professor Matthew Leal

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I don't recommend taking this professor's class if you can avoid it. That isn't just for the fact that he grades tough. He gives assignments with little to no detail and then grades those assignment as if he gave great detail in how to complete them. He literally changed what an assignment said because it wasn't clear enough after giving me a 70.

Out of the probably hundreds of teachers I have had in my life, "professor" Leal has been significantly the worst. By far. If you are taking the class and see he is your teacher, do EVERYTHING in your power to get a new teacher. No matter how strictly you follow his vague guidelines, he will trample on your paper. You won't get anything over an 85

Respectfully, I hope this man either loses his job or lowers his ego. Least favorite professor Ive ever had, made me lose my interest in English.

Professor leal is the worst professor i've ever had… Any student i've talked to that's taken him has agreed. Online/ in person doesn't matter. DONT TAKE HIM. you will never get over a 75 over any major assignments. He gives no explanations..just expects you to know what's inside HIS head. takes days to answer. &could care less about his students..

His feedback for essays are extremely opinionated. Very tough grader for minute mistakes. Essay prompts are ridiculous. He asks for very personalized essays on subjective and informational essays, and then takes off points when we write exactly what he asks for because its not deep and emotional enough even though that wasnt the prompt

Overall he was a good teacher. He is VERY informative. This past semester he was topic heavy on Pop Culture. He wasnt very clear on instructions. Once we got going we wrote paper after paper. Pay very close attention.

Doesn't really teach just assigns and grades on individual comprehension. He will work with students who are struggling though. he seems to care but can be a bit arrogant. As a science major, I would advise those to take a prof with excellent reviews.

It was a difficult class and I barely passed, but he gave good feed back. I struggled

This man is extremely stubborn. God, I really wish this website would actually let me give him a 0/5 stars. Ive never been so aggravated at getting assignment notifications, especially when prompts are pointless. No extra credit, I dont think anyone in his class ever received a grade over 85 on the heavy weighted papers. Vague instructions too

Awful. Ridiculous grader and doesnt give any feedback. Gives vague instructions and no explanations as to why he takes off so many points
