Reviews of professor Lincoln Matra

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Took him for CS213. Class starts out very interesting and easy but the second half quickly became too difficult for most students and the class experience suffered as a result. Lots of assignments but he is very willing to help, even outside office hours, and even extend deadlines. Overall, solid choice.

The material of CS240 is awful, but Matra tries his best to make it fun. This man brought in wiffle balls several times just to engage the class in an example. He really went the extra mile to make jokes and keep everyone attentive. You get a large cheat sheet for the midterm/final because he doesn't expect you to memorize everything. Awesome guy!

Matra is the man. CS240 has boring content, but he has worked really hard to modernize it and turn it into something worth learning. He does an amazing job keeping class interesting, and the time will fly by. If you're a CIS major, he is your best option for 240. If you're not a CIS major don't take 240, there is more interesting content elsewhere.

He is so nice and sweet, and cares about his students but this is a hard class to take virtually. I found it really hard to pay attention and even when I did, I had no clue what was going on.

This semester was his first time teaching here. Considering that he did a very good job. When it comes to grading, all the automated grades are fair on the HW but his participation and project grades are kind of graded more harshly than in other classes. He's def good, just new. He even made boring IT lectures fun by having trivia games sometimes.

Professor Matra is a gem. A very caring professor that tries to make the lectures somewhat interesting given how dry the material is. He is the best option for this class, no doubt.

Professor Matra is a very engaging lecturer. He also did a great job explaining the course material. I don't think he currently teaches any undergraduate courses other than CS240 and IT101, but I'd definitely take another course with him if I had the opportunity.
