Reviews of professor Matthew Fazio

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Worth mentioning that I already knew most of the material having taken Calc BC in high school, but I thought he went very methodically through it and explained everything in detail. He also does extensive review before every exam and is great about answering questions.

Very thorough when explaining, and very transparent about expectations. Will work with you if you need extensions. I thought he was great.

I had him for MAT108 not MAT136, but he was an amazing professor he had to take over my class cause something happened to my original professor and he did a really good job and he was pretty nice to everyone.

Matt's lectures are easy to follow and not at all agonizing to sit through. He explains the concepts very well and is very understanding. He gives great feedback and as long as you ask the questions, he is there to give and explain the solutions to you.

I actually had Fazio for MAT 137, and he was great! His lectures aren't confusing, he is more than willing to help, and he is an easy grader. He is really generous with partial credit. As with any class, you have to put in effort and study, but as long as you do that you will be fine.

I thought this professor was a great teacher. I learned a lot from this course. It can get confusing sometimes but as long as you ask questions, then you will be okay. The professor was very nice and friendly, open to everybody. I did not have any issues with him, he even took the time to know everybody's names which was very thoughtful.

one of the best professors i have had here. He is very accessible and understanding. As long as you communicate with him your issue clearly, he definitely will help you out.

Matthew Fazio helped me out throughout the class despite numerous missing assignments and mental health problems. I struggled throughout the class but having him as a professor made a massive impact and I would happily take him again. Any NAU board members seeing this should offer this man a raise.

The way that he teaches is by writing down every word that he says and spends the whole class facing the whiteboard. Just a weird way to teach and makes it hard for visual learners and people who need examples to learn. The homework is nothing like the exams and they extremely hard. Definitely take the class with another professor if you can.

I had Fazio for Calc and I'm glad I did. I was pretty nervous for this class but Fazio has clear expectations and is super chill. Homework's pretty much every day but it's only like 30 minutes. Fazio does a great job at explaining why things are the way they are so just ask questions and he'll figure out a way to explain it to you well.

He writes everything he says on the board and will get passive aggressive when asking a question. Would not take again.
