Matthew Dickinson

Matty D is the best proffessor I've run into at middlebury. The class is high on readings and the lectures are intense, but if you keep up with the course it's very engaging and will teach you a lot about the American poltiical system.

Prof Dickinson is definitely a tough grader, and very particular and a bit nit picky in terms of how he likes things done. But he is also very funny and witty, and clearly so intelligent and knowldegable on the course material. he makes everything seem interesting, and explains things clearly. Hard exams, you hAVE to do the reading.

Professor Dickinson is great! Definitely a harder course compared to other intro level courses, but extremely rewarding, and it is easy to get invested in the material and really want to do well in the course. Lots of readings and a fair amount of writing, but he is very accessible and will help you in office hours if needed. He really cares about his students, and while he may come off intimidating at first, he genuinely wants to get to know everyone and help them through the course -- if you ask for the help you need.
