Peter Matthews

This was my first economics class at Middlebury and having Peter Matthews as a professor was a great way to get my exposure started. He explains difficult concepts in simple and understandable ways and he ensure that everyone is understanding the concepts. OVerall, great experience.

Peter Matthews is a good prof. He will repeat himself many times to make sure everyone understands. Overall I thought the material was not too hard to understand and that the grading was pretty nice on the exams. That being said the exams account for 80% of the grade, but you can drop your lowest one.

Professor Matthews runs a solid Intro to Macro course. He cold calls, but it keeps you on your toes and engaged. Exams are every other week, but they’re totally fair if you stay on top of the material. Grading is fair too—no surprises. If you take good notes and actually do the readings, you’ll be in good shape. It’s a straightforward class with a professor who knows his stuff.
