Reviews of professor Matthew DeLaMater

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor DeLaMaters lectures were so disorganized I had NO idea what was going on half the time. He never had due dates for things they were all due at the end of the semester so I had to rush to do all the work the last week (partially my fault).SOOOO much work. At least 10 movie reviews, 5 papers, AND a 100 question midterm and final.Overall no.

A really great professor! He definitely rambles on but it is really insightful. He really cares about your education and learning new things. An easy class, it can be easy to skip. A lot of reading so stay on top of it but it isn't that bad. Very lenient about grades and due dates.

He was a great professor,I just feel like his lectures were very disorganized and I almost never took notes, but I still passed with a good grade so I'm not complaining. He's very laid back and kind. He also never gave us assignments for the first 75% of the semester then gave us everything at once so that kind of sucked

I loved this class and Delamater is an awesome professor. I struggled because of family stuff but he helped me do well plus I learned a lot. He knows a lot about history and made sure the classes were interesting and everyone felt heard. As a bonus he has a great sense of humor and is really easy going. I would def take another class with him.

He's a great guy, I'm not sure I learned too much actual knowledge but overall he was a good professor and got his main points across. I'd definitely take again.

Extremely boring lectures and highly unorganized, but very funny. Graded by a few things, some in which I didn't even do and were never graded.  Doesn't give due dates, so stay on top of things. He is very nice and passionate, but I couldn't even tell you what I learned. Overall very easy A, as I didn't even go to class half the time.

Really easy-going and SUPER lenient with due dates. A blessing and a curse when it comes to deadlines mainly because it lowkey feeds into procrastination. Overall, really great professor!

Easily my favorite professor I've had at New Paltz. He is not too concerned with rigid structure for his classes or lots of assignments, it seems like he just enjoys engaging with students and sharing his knowledge. His goal is to spark interest in history for his students and get them to explore further on their own, which is a philosophy I admire

Great professor, even better guy. Just wants all his students to learn, very understanding of personal circumstances and just kind overall. I enjoyed his lectures, super passionate. I fell behind and he helped me get my grade all the way up to a B, he's fully on your side. If you ever get a chance to take one of his classes, do it.
