Comment:

Matchett is a sweet old man, but even has no idea how to teach and it is very confusing. I have always been good at math until this class. He teaches the easiest problems in notes but makes the same problem ten times more confusing on the tests. You can't read his handwriting, he talks to himself, and does not make the material clear to student.

Comment:

Professor Matchett is like that one grandpa everybody in the family loves. He is a very sweet, kind man and wants you to do well. He is always willing to help and accommodate to your needs. He's in Murphy plenty of the time, so if you're struggling you have no reason to not get help. He can be confusing at times and rambles. But he is a great prof.

Comment:

Matchett is a sweet old man, who may be confusing sometimes but he makes the class easy to pass overall. You get to use your notes on quizzes and get formula sheets for exams (which are similar to past quizzes). He sometimes rambles, but you can tell he knows what he is doing and is passionate about the subject. Was dreading stats, but easy to pass

Comment:

A sweet and funny old man. When it comes to teaching, hes alright. On some topics hes great, other topics hes not. However, he is the least strict grader Ive ever had in my college career. Hard to fail this class, even if you arent good at math. Just keep up with all the assignments. Matchett is great and funny.

Quizzes every week for 10 points, hard to do bad on them, he jokes that you get 6 points for your name (I don't think he's kidding). Get full sheet front and back for notes on exams and an equation sheet. Super funny and sweet old guy who cares about his students. Easy A for someone who's never taken stats before!

If you're planning on taking STAT145 take Matchett. He is a cute, funny old man, although kind of confusing teaching style. Do the homework he assigns and show up to class. He allows notes and formula sheets for all tests and quizzes.

EXCELLENT teacher. This was the second time I took stats and I did so so much better! I actually understood what he was talking about. He goes really slow and repeats things. It seems annoying at first but I realized it really helped me learn! Easy grader, kind person. DEFINITELY take him if you get the chance! (Plus sometimes he's funny!)

Comment:

Older teacher who definitely knows what he is doing. He created the textbook in which all of the course work comes from. Along with that he also tends to be a very easy grader. However, the exams taken count for much of the overall grade. Just make sure to sit up in front of class if you wish to hear him in lecture and you should be fine.

Comment:

He's a very funny, odd, but nice old man. He's kind of like that grandpa you have that has lost his mind but is still very smart. He teaches using his own textbook so homework problems are exactly like the tests which are nice. He is also a very very easy grader when it comes to tests and the small homework assignments (only five for the semester).

He is a very approachable professor. He takes attendance, but you are not penalized for not attending. The quizzes are easy and help bump up your grade. The tests can be difficult but you get to bring a page of notes and formulas. I would advise you to go to class to see worked out examples.

Comment:

He is literally the worst professor for calculus. I don't know about his other classes, but calc was pure hell. There is no partial credit for work, and beware that he will give extra credit on a whim. You can spend eight hours working just to receive no credit. He just confuses students and is not willing to help whatsoever.

Very passionate about the subject, although found that not all lectures were very helpful, attend class or you have to do papers on the given homework for the night. pay attention and you should pass just fine

Very kind and adorable man with some quirky humor. If you do the bookwork and try a little bit you'll do great in this class. He tries to make it as easy as he can for you and likes everyone to get a good grade. I've never seen someone love statistics more... Just don't skip class and you'll do good!

Andrew Matchett. The worst professor I have ever had kindergarten-sophomore college year. I took him for Calc I and he didn't explain anything. I was lost the whole semester as were my friends. He didn't give partial credit on exams so if you added wrong your whole problem was wrong. Got a C, took Calc 2 this semester and started out so far behind.

Comment:

Does not know how to use graphing calculators so know how to use it. His lectures and notes are scattered but once you go through it all there are some good pointers. He uses a textbook he wrote, and the way he poses questions is extremely confusing. I would not suggest taking his course if you have no background. Other than that good course!

Matchett is a great guy. I've never filled out a rating before but I thought I should for this man. He's quirky in class which helps the hour fly by, but as long as you do some of the problems he assigns you should have no problem getting an easy A. Gives practice problems in class that are about 95% identical to what you will see on quizzes/exams

Very good teacher. Enthusiastic about the material and made tests similar to the notes and quizzes so it was all things that were already covered in class. Never understood stats until having Dr. Matchett. Best math teacher I have ever had.

Horrible professor! he makes no sense and talks to himself about how confused he is. Avoid this class if possible!!! I never understood a word he was talking about and you can not read his handwriting! He explains things in the most confusing way, you are better off going to the tutors during class instead of actually going to class.
