Reviews of professor Matthew Graham

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Inconsiderate about students' needs. Exams test every detail from both the textbook and the lectures. Still, it feels like a waste of time to either watch the lectures or read the textbook, since they're basically the same. 
Final grade: 30% midterm 1, 30% midterm 2, 40% final, no participation grade.
Can get an A but the process is painful.

He actually curved all of our exams to fit the average (that is a B). His exams are predictable if you solve the questions in the textbook. The material itself is heavy and you have to memorize a lot but he cant do anything about that so I dont understand why he is disliked.

Dr. Graham was a great prof. If you have any science background this class will be a breeze. Lectures based off of the textbook so if you read you'll do well on the exams. Idk why people have rated him so harshly, he was really nice and funny. He boosted the grades for each exam. As long as you pay attention and study it's an easy A.

His course was not an easy one, the tests were difficult. That being said, he is very engaging and explains concepts well. His lecture slides are helpful and thorough. He is also understanding with grading, unfair questions were removed from midterms. His course requires alot of studying but you will learn alot.

I took PSYC 318 because the description of the content was really appealing to me - things like gambling, aggression, and memory. But Dr Graham takes these interesting concepts and makes them really difficult, with lectures being 3 hours when they really could be 1.5 hours. Midterm & final both needed to be curved - they were so unnecessarily hard.

This is easily the worst prof I've ever encountered in my life. So inconsiderate toward students, reads 25/220 slides per lecture then tells us to teach ourselves the rest with little-to-no info on each slide. Grades you solely on the midterm and final which are tested on extremely obscure details. Brags about his class's poor averages. The worst.

The HARDEST course I took at McGill. The prof is nice in some ways BUT students like me still felt pain during this summer semester. RUN if you see his name.

I genuinely enjoyed Prof. Graham's class, I'm not sure why people are complaining. His midterm exam was very fair. He focuses more on the lectures than the textbook - plus he's funny (LOL). Newsflash to all psych majors complaining but psych courses consist of a 40-50% midterm exam (sometimes 2) and a 50-60% final. Dean's grading is very fair.

This was definitely the hardest class I have ever taken at McGill. No flexible grading. He reads off of the textbook a lot and takes too many questions causing us to be behind in material. I got a good grade but only because I would literally suffer to study the content, day and night. No sleep. It was a traumatic experience to say the least.
