Comment:

This class was a waste of my time. Matt is arrogant, self-obsessed, and unable to see alternative view-points. Class time was spent with a different brainstorm topic every class, and he often shot discussion participants down instantly, discouraging others to join in. While Matt is passionate, he does not create a productive learning environment.

Comment:

Unprofessional and unqualified. In Intro to Peace and Justice studies, we spent 95% of the time "brainstorming" what was meant by "peace," "war," and "justice." It felt more like he was surveying us than teaching us anything. Coupled with three 8-10 page papers, which he very harshly graded, this was a waste of my time and a GPA killer.

Comment:

Matt is definitely a very engaging teacher who makes class all about discussions. As for the material, it is hard to follow the focus of the class and where he is going in lectures. Overall, great guy to talk to outside of class.

Comment:

I really enjoyed Matt's class and his assignments were interesting, but it's true that he's a little arrogant. If you actually devote time to thinking about the material on your own, it can be really fulfilling. If you only go to class, you won't get as much out of it as you could. You basically make it what you want. Overall, I'd recommend it.

Comment:

Class is pretty simple, lots of readings but none are required. Only work is a midterm and essay. Matt is engaging and cares what his students think. Very liberal and a self proclaimed Marxist. A little self-serving.

A great class, and a great teacher. Very interesting, a dynamic lecturer. Reasonable with his grades, good grades definitely attainable if you work and put in the time.

Comment:

This is a worthless class. The information is so basic and he gets it all directly from the book, so why anyone would attend this awful class is strange to me...unless, of course, you LIKE hearing the teacher talk about himself and ask superficially philosophical questions, only to negate them by saying, "We'll get into that later."

Comment:

Prof. Gregory is the WORST professor I've ever had. He made a mistake on my grade and after contacting him 10 times, emailing him w/o getting responses, and finally getting in touch with him, he admitted to his mistake. I had to go to the Chair of the dept. & she had to override the grade HERSELF.

Very unorganized, has trouble getting back to you when you try to contact him. Was a very good lecturer, but didn't spend as much time and effort in grading projects.

Very intelligible/interesting. But he is very unorganized. He is in a learning stage. He will improve with honest feedback and not people saying they can't stand him. He tries. I have had two classes with him. He is very liberal and concerned about all.

Class is intersting. Lots of discussion, lots of reading (but you don't have to do it all), kind of disorganized, also very liberal.
