Reviews of professor Matthew McDermott

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
So he's pretty chill, but he also sticks heavily to what his department tells him. The only things annoying about this class are the prep questions (you only have to do about 5) and that he doesn't give a lot of feedback on speeches. As long as you follow the basic requirements and show a little bit of interest in your topic, you'll be fine.

Professor McDermott made a required class enjoyable. He was funny and kept things interesting. 10/10 recommend this guy.

Class is very cut and dry. He tries to act somewhat chill in class but like others have said, he almost excessively adheres to department standards. He's also a very tough grader for what is a 100 level required course. Ironically for a com professor, he speaks too loudly and too quickly. Not the worst, but I don't recommend him.

Overall, the class was super easy and he did his job fine. Except, he was always talking about being "fair" but he took this to the extreme. If you came in after be did attendance right at 8am you would be marked absent for the day and you could only miss three classes in the semester before your grade went down.
