Reviews of professor Marty Matheson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class is super easy and interesting. The only downsides are 1-he tends to drag on and the class sometimes is boring and 2-you have to volunteer for 20 hours but there are cool places to volunteer. The tests are super easy matching questions and it's not a big deal to miss class. Marty really cares about what he does which is cool to see

Marty is one of my favorite professors. If you're interested in social work, I highly recommend taking from him. The reading wasn't bad, and honestly you could get by without it, but the lectures were great. I looked forward to class. There are twenty service hours required, but they're a breeze. Easy A. Take from Marty if you have the chance!

I'm half way through the semester and enjoying Marty's class (one of the best classes I've taken at BYU so far). Really nice person as well!

I did not have a great experience in this class. He seems to know very much about the topic, which was helpful, but he is very unaccommodating and - to simply put it - seems very full of himself. He was often bragging about his success as a therapist and did not come across as genuine. The class was easy, but it was not an enjoyable class.

Marty is a really great choice. He is so knowledgable and passionate about social work. The only slightly difficult part of this class was filling required volunteer hours. Marty will give you a list, but many organizations require weeks to certify volunteers. Start volunteering EARLY and with multiple places, so you aren't in a bind at the end.

Professor Matheson was great. He is definitely one of the most caring professors I've ever met at BYU. He is kind and understanding to his students. He told many stories giving examples of what Social Work is really like day to day. Easy class, just a couple vocab quizzes and no final. It's an easy A, and he's such a nice guy.

I learned a lot in this class from Marty. It was very valuable information especially if this is a field you are looking into. He told current stories. He loves talking to his students 1x1. Participation was definitely appreciated. I missed a ton of class but watched zoom recordings on 1.5x speed for slightly less credit and still loved it.
