Reviews of professor Matthew Van Rys

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Van Rys was a very kind person. His lectures were always well organized and helped the students understand how to create something such as a website, appear professional and will help you as much as you need. He is a very approachable person and gives very clear instructions on what and how to work in various programs such a Photoshop.

Professor Rys is a great teacher!! I had to take this class online, but he made everything very easy to navigate and understand with tutorials he makes himself and extra help sessions. The only negative for me was that as an online class, it was very overwhelming because of all the discussion posts and work we had to do. Other than that, great guy!

This professor really made my 8am classes more enjoyable. He genuinely cares for his students and loves participation. Everything is project based, and every step is written down, so as long as you show effort I am sure you will get an A!

I'll honestly miss his class, love this professor, he made class so fun and was easy to talk to and occasionally joke with. As long as you try you'll be totally fine. He also gives you a healthy dose of 'real talk' & tries to prepare you for the bigger picture. Be prepared to meticulously label your files lol.

He is a new professor at SCAD that I took on a chance, and boy was I impressed. He has very clear grading criteria, and as long as you follow his organization and submission format of projects, you are guaranteed a B, probably even an A. He even records all his classes so if you miss or need help you can go back and watch a class. Highly Recommend.

Prof Matt is so wonderful! Very funny and engaging lectures. Definitely the most organized and detailed professor I've had- every question I had could be answered in the project sheet. If you still needed help, responds to emails very quickly and has office hours/extra help. Each project is a good amount of work but you truly do learn so much!
