Reviews of professor Matthew Schwartz

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Where do I begin? He lacks compassion first off, something you need as a professor. He does not take feed back well, he will somehow twist it to make it seem like he's right. Also he is the only professor I know who has managed to make me unlearn something I learn in a previous class. Overall avoid class with him at all costs. You'll be thankful.

It is rarely the case that someone can go to every lecture, study excessively for every exam, and complete every homework assignment and (random) in class quiz, and still do poorly in a class. This is one of those classes. If you can avoid taking a class with Prof Schwartz, you should unless you enjoy learning content way off syllabus just to pass.

If you don't understand something, he will make sure you get the help you need you just have to talk to him.

Dr. Schwartz makes a difficult topic more understandable, his slides are great. I always thought his tests were very fair. He tends to overestimate time though, so expect the syllabus to change about every month. Sometimes he goes through class and the slides very fast making it hard to understand, but he is accessible during office hours
