"This was no doubt one [of] my favorite class[es] this semester ... even at 8 in the morning."

"Attending this class was often the highlight of the school week. There were so many interesting conversations that came out of this class that I will carry with me for a long time."

"He cares for his students and makes sure that work is being done but he accommodates students better then most teachers have."

"I hope to have him again in the future. He makes my day better after having his class."

"The professor was very open about what assignments there were so there was no need to worry about what was going to come next because it was easy to look it up."

"Literally my favorite course of the semester, I looked forward to it every week and I look forward to further classes with this professor."

"Matt really knocked it out of the park with this one. Classes were engaging and assignments enhanced both my technical and creative skills. Providing the slides to us before class was also a big plus."

"His willingness to help with other classes within his realm of knowledge and the time he takes to get to know each student [were valuable]. I could not have asked for anything better."

"He always went over exactly what everyone needed, and made sure everyone knew exactly what they needed to do, going above and beyond to help students."

"I really liked being able to turn in play-test points in exchange for passes on some assignments, it allowed me a lot of flexibility with my workload and made my other courses much more manageable."

"The instructor's caring and understanding of each student is very valuable to me. He is very easy to talk to which makes it easy to ask any questions about the course."

"Walking through the lessons and also taking time to walk through things like color symbolism and font use have taught me a lot. I know a lot of people who appreciated walking through the tutorials so they didn't have to do them outside of class."

"Thank you for all the site links [to further learning resources]! They will prove incredibly valuable!"

"I realized how much I love talking about games from an analytical standpoint and made me actually consider going into academia in the future."

"Professor DiMatteo was super nice and really cared about the mental health of his students. He created a friendly and fun environment to learn in."

"Matt is a great professor. He's very chill and very willing to listen to his students - especially about deadlines and projects. I would absolutely take him again, and hope I can take a class where he's teaching again at some point in the future."

"The instructor is absolutely terrific at being both clear and straightforward with what is needed to succeed in the class. What has been most valuable is how not only is he very enthusiastic with helping each student become more passionate about their project but he also is able to give vital information on how to properly work and communicate within a group working on a games project."

"Definitely one of the greatest instructors that I could've had for this course. He has been very open to every team's ideas for their project, and would be available to get advice from for challenges with working as a team. Available to communicate outside of class, and is overall a great person to be around!"

"I really appreciate how Professor DiMatteo explains the topic he's teaching in an easy-to-follow manner. He is extremely well-prepared and his powerpoints are super helpful when following along in class. He is accessible outside of class as well and I can tell that he has a curiosity and passion for web design that I think has also rubbed off on me! This class has truly spiked my interest in web design and I wish I wasn't graduating so that I could learn more from him!!! Wonderful professor and although there is a large amount of subject matter, he is able to easily walk us through it and make web design less scary then it initially seems."

"Just overall had a very nice time taking this class and it made me want to delve deeper into the subject matter! He's a great professor, keep him around forever!"

"All course material was very organized with links and images. Canvas was organized and prepared already, all assignments were already put on Canvas with descriptions and instructions. This is how I feel a Canvas page should be. All course materials labelled and nicely organized. All Assignments already created and have detailed description and instructions. It was perfect and I loved it. I would definitely take this course again if I could."

"This class shaped up to be one of the most impactful classes I've taken in IMM."

"I think he's really well equipped to teach this class not only knowledge based, but also just his personality is welcoming and encourages you to speak about what you're passionate about."

"If I could, I'd probably take more classes taught by Matt. I've always been looking forward to his classes."

"His level of enthusiasm and interest in the course combined with his positive attitude helped be both engaged and comfortable with the class and the work."

"I think that he is very knowledgeable on gaming and gaming related stuff . . . that helped class move along really nicely to make it fun."

"Professor DiMatteo's interest in all of our games that we made for class made me feel so proud of what I was able to accomplish. He truly just wants the best from his students and loves to see them succeed."

"He's knowledgeable in many aspects outside of what the course material covers, so he's able to answer some other partially related questions that students have about game concepts and designs."

"Please allow him to teach this and other gaming related classes more often."

"I LOVED THIS CLASS!! And, the main reason was because of the professor. He has a great balance between being a professor and making sure you get your work done, but also being a friend and being there when you need assistance with school work. He is very understanding, and wants to make sure you are not only completing assignments because it is required, but you are learning something valuable."

"If I had to recommend a professor to a student in IMM, it would be him!!"

"I really enjoyed the project reviews we would have at the beginning of every class and all the programs we touched on in the course. I feel it is very well rounded and you come out knowing a lot and building more experience."

"Did a great job at covering the entire curriculum and enriching the students in a multitude of programs and media."

"Professor DiMatteo was very open minded on the intentions of the art we made for him."

"There was nothing I felt needed improvement with this course."

"Prior to this class I had little knowledge of some of the software apps that we used in class. Now I feel comfortable with everything I learned and I will definitely use what I learned to help me in the future."

"The slides sent before class were extremely helpful and I could look back on them if I was confused with something."

"I really loved the class and everything we did in it. I really want to keep doing things like this."

"Professor DiMatteo rocks!"
