Reviews of professor Matthew Tolbert

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Don't get me wrong, Professor Tolbert is a cool guy. But he loves to hear himself talk. He tries for the whole flipped classroom concept but by doing this, we're not learning anything. What is often well done work is graded harshly and if he disagrees with you, thats the end of the discussion.

One of the best professors I have encounter so far. His class was fun and he always stick to a set schedule so it was easy to plan out your weeks and get good grades. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Professor Tolbert makes class very interesting by using group projects and fun discussions instead of the traditional lectures! Always be on time to class as he takes attendance right at the beginning, but otherwise the class in an easy A. By doing the two extra credits, you can raise your grade 4%. Open book online tests. Highly recommend!!!!

Dr. Tolbert was not my favorite professor. He is not very Christian, and frequently advocates non-Biblical teachings. He does not treat you well if you disagree with him. If he disagrees with you he will dock your grade. He seems to enjoy lecturing and arguing with the class. I will not take from him again.

Awesome Professor! 
Pros: Class is discussion based, NO TESTS, quizzes are open book, he cares about your opinion and encourages conversation, super interesting content. 
Good to know info: Do the few assignments he gives you, they matter a lot to your grade. He will disagree with you sometimes, that's life, he'll be mature about it, you can be too

I took his Developmental psych class and it was really interesting ( easy A if you stay on task). Great lecturer and gives good feedback. Straight forward class, tests, and quizzes. Classes are lectures and a lot of group discussions. Tolbert seems passionate about what he does and wants his students to succeed.

Hands down the best professor I have had during my 3 1/2 years Ive been here at Southern. This man knows how to keep a class learning and engaged. He cares about his students more than most professors. Most of his classes are DISCUSSION based and EASY As. i could sit here ans write a book, just take his classes, you wont regret it.

I took Dev Psych for smart start and it was the most fun class I have taken so far. He makes the class enjoyable and it isn't difficult at all. If you are debating between Developmental Psych and General Psych - take Dev Psych. It is much easier and more specific, but both classes are great.
