Reviews of professor Matthew Sinclair

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He takes a lot of care for the students. For instance, I was struggling in designing the project and he was helping me in the lab just the night before the project was due. He is readily approachable and friendly.

During lecture he seems kind and considerate, but the second that the lecture ends, his attitude changes drastically. If students ask him questions or inquires about anything at all, he becomes condescending and unforgiving. Be aware that he also make homeworks due at 10PM and exams due at 8PM instead of 11:59PM. They will not allow anything later.

Professor Sinclair is one of the nicest professors I've ever had. He truly cares for his students and will go above and beyond to help. 

But, this class was WAY too much work- especially for only 3 credits. There's a humongous and difficult project on top of confusing ICE/outdated lecture videos/exams. But, I bet he'll make it easier the next time

552 is an INSANE amount of work for a 3-credit class. But there is no better prof than Matt Sinclair. He is a genuinely god-tier human being. The problems, examples, and explanations he gives will force you to learn and understand the content. He will answer your Piazza posts at 1am. And he REALLY cares about every student in class. 10/10 professor

Seems to care a lot about students learning. Approachable and knowledgeable.

Matt's lectures were a monotonous slog. Delivered in a slow, monotone voice, the material was presented in a way that actively discouraged engagement. There were occasions where he provided dubious information, and students' attempts to clarify these issues were often met with frustration. He also stole Alvin and the Chipmunks (HE'S IAN HAWKE)

Matt is great, one of the best. As far as ece552 goes, its the most amount of work I have ever done in any of my classes here Physics 201/202 etc. If you have taken 551 you can pretty much double that and thats about how much work you will do. Avoid this class at all costs but not matt, he is dope.

This class was much harder than it needed to be imo simply because of how trash the lectures were. There were not nearly enough example problems went over in class, so students were left largely high and dry on homework and projects. Office hours availability was just OK, although some TAs were completely incompetent. Heads up-Exams are honorlocked

This professor has little understanding of the materials he provided to students and those materials are always unclear. He always makes mistakes in everywhere including homework descriptions and project descriptions which confuses students a lot.
