Reviews of professor Matthew Ward

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Ward can come off as rude/arrogant but most of the time he is joking. Participation is very important, he makes everyone answer at least once in class. he does not like tardiness and likes to think he is a harder grader than he is. Put effort in class and he will be easier on you. Groups are picked at random which can make or break your grade.

Worst class I have ever taken. Professor does not care about you in any way. Does not accept late work. Will give you a 0 if he does not like the assignment. You either get full credit or a 0 on an assignment, no in between. Does not explain assignments well. Terrible class, do not recommend.

took this professor for COMM01- this class was hard, I did have some difficulty understanding what the homework/presentations were asking for, and he grades tough!

Sweet and decadently rich!

Terrible class structure, and lots of busy work for just an online class. No real depth in assignments. Grades are harsh and most assignments have multiple steps making them very tedious and time-consuming. I do not recommend him at all.

Despite the B I received as my final grade, Professor Ward's class is easy. The coursework is very light, so his class won't overwhelm you if you have a full schedule already. Occasionally, there will be a short virtual presentation, but you'll pre-record that within a small group, nothing intimidating. Lastly, Yes, Chegg will help with quizzes.

I highly enjoyed taking this class with Professor Ward. I learned a lot about communication and he is a very passionate professor. Many of the bad reviews seem to come from students who do not want to put in the effort on the assignments. The instructions were pretty straightforward regarding what needed to be done. He is an amazing Professor.

This professor is one of the most laziest professor I have ever met. If you have a question, don't ask this guy because he will not help you. Upon meeting him, I did not feel welcome. He talked with a condescending tone.  It's ironic that this communications professor is horrible at communication. If you signed up for this guy, good luck.

The way this professor grades is so hard. Nothing is ever good enough.

He would randomly give you bad scores even when you complete the assignment exactly as specified, and give no explanation why.

Grading is harsh with little to no feedback. I do not recommend anyone to take any of his courses as they are incredibly dull and all assignments seem to all be busy work without any depth. Each assignment has multiple steps with little room for error. You will create topics for assignments you won't use till weeks later in the course.
