Awful
Professor Mathinson is certainly a nice guy but beware... his class is EXTREMELY difficult. If you struggled in math before calculus, this class will not be easy. He gives pop quizzes that may include material he didn't cover yet. Tests are half multiple choice (hard ones) and half short answer. He offers no extra credit.

Matheson is a very hard grader. Invest in a tutor because going to class will not be enough. If you don't get an A on the first exam, drop the class and save your time.

Awesome
Dr. Mathison is an outstanding professor and the best professor that I ever had. He do really cares about his students, very lenient on his assignments and a very understanding professor. I had a tough semester under his class but luckily his willing to help and make sure that I'm following during his office hours. I'm giving him a score of 10/10.

The thing that bothered me is, Professor Mathison was terrible at explaining material. It was very easy to lose interest in what he's saying. I usually ended up teaching myself after class. There were also lots of homework like paper and mymathlab given. And, he graded every little thing on the papers. There were no reviews conducted too. If you can, do not take his class.

This teacher is really not the best. I'd recommend avoiding him if you can. His classes drag on and are hardly interesting. There's not much helpful feedback from him. I thought having him as a teacher wouldn't be as bad as everyone else said, but boy, was I wrong. I didn't pass any of his tests, even though I'm a straight-A student. So, if you end up with him as your teacher, it might be a good idea to switch classes as soon as you can.

Designed
Taught and Evaluated many Freshman and Sophomore Mathematics courses. Troubleshot customer problems in the Math Learning Center. Performed Mathematical Research – devising and proving new theory
programming and analyzing simulations
and performing literature based explorations.\n\nKey Results: \n\n• Used Matlab to simulate and run tests near singularities on dense flows and maps of the torus.\n• Created a library of LaTeX macros to streamline the creation of quizzes and tests.\n• Produced a comprehensive sequence of first year Calculus notes as a supplement to the textbook.

Or
Single Bubble Sonoluminescence research (theory
data collection and analysis) as well as the design and (metal shop) fabrication of needed apparati.\n\nKey Results:\n• Fabricated variable inductors to replace old units that where no longer commercially available.\n• Designed shielding and mounting equipment to increase the usefulness of our Spectrophotometer.
Physics Researcher

Designed
Taught and Evaluated Remedial and Freshman level Mathematics courses – To this end some specific duties include: planning
scheduling
record keeping
data analysis
programming
public speaking
document/slide/webpage creation
customer service and troubleshooting customer issues.\n\nKey Results: \n\n• Created and administrated on-line homework sets using WeBWorK. Discovered innovative ways to\nadjust “standard” questions into the more restrictive WeBWorK environment by designing new problems and answer checkers via Perl. Managed the student enrollment and records databases.\n\n• Created and managed a library of on-line Learning Objects. These provide immediate help with common issues and misconceptions through a short video explaining and working through each step.\n\n• Designed and created slides in beamer (a LaTeX document class) which stepped through lecture topics and lessons. These enable students to review or self-study through the material at their own pace.\n\n• Redesigned Intermediate Algebra class into a “half-flipped” class where time and emphasis is spent more on student engagement with the problems instead of with on-the-board lectures.
