Reviews of professor Matthew Lapierre

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This guy was absolutely awful. I could write 1000 words on him but he is extremely unprofessional and talks like he just learned how to cuss. He grades UNNECESSARILY hard on every assignment and no matter how much you go to class and raise your hand to participate he will give you a C in participation which is 30% of your grade.

I took the 7 week course and with the amount of homework you can definitely tell that it is fast paced. The discussion posts and responses each week had to be 300+ words for a good grade. The quizzes and tests aren't bad and are open note. Overall, the class wasn't terrible, but you definitely have to put in quite a bit of work to pass it.

Alright, class definitely interesting and Matthew has a lot of experience in the field. The group paper is a major part of the grade and you can't really half-ass it. His tests aren't meant to trick you but if you fo the readings and go to class. You'll do just fine.

If taking the 7wk course then there's loads of homework. every week: 2 quizzes (due on different days in the week), 1 discussion & 1 response (each min 350 words... due on different days), 2 exams, no late work, and lots of material (that you will get quizzed on) from outside the $150 course book. difficult exams (not enough time, lots of Qs)

Dont not take any classes with this professors! One of the least professional teachers Ive ever had. Only graded by 2 tests, group paper, and participation/ attendance. Does not provide study guides and tells you to study off lecture slides, but not all information needed can be found on slides. Do yourself a favor and never take this class
