Reviews of professor Matthew Watts

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Very lenient and a chill professor. He likes hearing students' opinions on the topic he's covering or hearing feedback. He's a grad student so he was very lenient on assignments and due dates. Students had to do 3 assignments, 1 group project/final presentation, and a final paper. Most assignments weren't due until the end of the semester.

Watts is a pretty cool guy. Class was interesting and relatively easy, just pay attention, do the assignments, and you'll be fine. He's lenient with extensions and stuff because he was a student once too, he just wants you to engage with the material. Two posters and one final paper, all of which are very doable. Overall, its a decent class.

He's a nice professor but is not great about answering emails especially when the class is moved online for the rest of the semester. Has not said what they were going to do in the updated syllabus for the online classes. Barely communicates with the students who can't attend online sessions. Just not a great communicator

The chillest professor at UM. There are assignments as well as a group project and final paper, but they are easy to complete and hardly time consuming. No real HW, class lectures/concepts are also super interesting. Would recommend to everyone. Great dude

Great class that encouraged students to think morally and ethically about technology.

This is the best Philo 101 class you can take here. This guy's this man. First of all the class is super easy, and second of all he actually makes it fun. He just talks about wild theories the whole time and wants everyone to participate to make it fun. 100% take this class

Probably the easiest class you could take at UM. No quizzes or exams all year, just 3 assignments. All pretty easy, he's not a tough grader at all and he's extremely flexible with deadlines. You never have to do the readings and showing up to class isn't too important. He's laid back, funny and overall ferda boys.

Great guy, easy A, don't even need to show up to class except for first class of the week to show that you did reading. But you don't need to do the readings at all just state your opinion on topic of discussion. Easy grader on everything just get it done, very flexible with due dates. Overall awesome guy that genuinely cares about the student.

Amazing professor, amazing class. TAKE WATTS FOR PHI 101. He makes it stress free, so you'll want to come to class. Very few assignments (papers/posters) but no exams or quizzes . Class discussions are engaging and cool, based on readings he posts usually the night before. Can't stress enough how everyone should take his class!
