Reviews of professor Matthew Shapiro

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Crystal Clear lectures, Conveys the material in a way that is easier to understand. He really cares about making sure you understand his lectures, by making the class more interesting . I expect him to be one of the greatest professor.

Awesome professor, smartest guy I've ever met I think. Really makes sure everyone gets what's going on and he's super organized. Cold calls 100p of the time but its not so bad b/c he really walks you to the answer and doesn't have overly high expectations. Would take any class with him again. Also he's super cute.

Prof. Shaprio is an amazing professor. You can really tell how passionate he is about a topic that can be somewhat dry. He takes the time to explain what can be a really complex topic and wants to see students succeed. He is also very flexible and available for office hours. He was definitely a great professor to have as a 1L.

You'll be rewarded for hard work. He translates the information so you understand it. Just pay attention in class and you'll do well.

Civil procedure is the most difficult class first semester of law school, and Professor Shapiro made it so much easier. Lectures are interesting, passionate, and detailed. He will wrap up units with summaries geared towards conflict points and the final exam. Do the readings!!! Cold calls are 100% random and arent as bad as i feared.

Professor Shapiro was uncontested the most work heavy class of the semester, however in an odd way you dont mind it. The work is clear and ultimately its all gone over in great detail in class. He goes the extra mile to help students who want to do well. He is available outside of the classroom more then all other professors.

AMAZING PROFESSOR!! Gives a lot of work and reading. Sometimes in class you will be confused but pay close attention to his wrap ups after every topic they are super important. Study hard and you'll get a good grade. I can genuinely say although this class was very hard Professor Shaprio as one of the best professors I will ever have.

Professor Shapiro was an incredible professor. He made the topics easy to understand, yet his class was still difficult. I felt as though I left the class with a full understanding of the course material. He explains concepts in different ways to ensure that his students understand. #MattyShaps4Ever

Great guy, but needs work on teaching. A lot of reading, some of which is unnecessary for understanding critical things. Lectures can get very confusing and too detailed, and his cold-call questions are phrased overly-complicated. He is willing to help you until you get it and can be very accommodating. Final was extremely hard. Might retake him.
