Reviews of professor Matthew Berry

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
One of my favorite professors at Berkeley! His lectures are always dynamic and make you focus with his clear diction and clear voice, not easy to find with all professors. He puts a lot of detail into his lecture slides and his explanation of assigned readings makes the class so much easier, I often wait for lectures before reading it myself. 5/5

Two papers, one midterm, one final, and daily iClicker quizzes. He offers EC on the quizzes tho so it's SUPER easy to get over 100% for participation. There's hella reading but it's interesting and skimmable. The course content is kinda boring in the first half but prof berry is incredible and SO compassionate. He'd do anything to help his students

He's a great professor and it doesn't really take long to get into the groove of his class. I enjoyed it and would definitely take him again. There is just a lot of reading

NWMedia 151AC is just hideous. The content has potential to be interesting but it seems like its just filled with buzz words which is given more importance than the actual concept underlying them. Exam question requires you to remember authors names and who said what. It doesn't place an emphasis on concepts. One of the worst classes taken at cal

Professor Berry is my absolute favorite person on campus. Never has a professor at Cal taken the time to give me the same amount of feedback and insight that he has. He makes folks sure that they want to major in Media Studies.

The lectures are long but he gives sooo much extra credit participation points for iClicker quizzes, at the end of the semester I had like 105% in that category and I missed a few days. The essays are straightforward, but the written midterm exams are actually so much easier because in his office hours he lowkey explains everything - so go!

Berry is arguably one of the best professors at Cal. Always the disclaimer that there's a lot of reading involved with his classes, but he has great lectures and is just so engaging when it comes to having a discussion.
