Ms. Matherne is a wonderful teacher, thoughtful, fair, brilliant, kind, outstanding, aware of team effort expected in life, and always willing to spend extra time with you. As a mature student, I was honored to be in her class. I became a better writer through her guidance. She is A+ and a credit to her profession.

Comment:
She wasn't very clear about some instructions for certain assignments. She didn't like to end class with time remaining, if we finished fifteen minutes early, she would look for extra stuff to do instead of letting us go. Her grading was a little harsh and she strictly enforces her attendance policy.

She is scatter-brained, bland, and does not seem to care if you actually learn the material. Highly disappointed.

Comment:
I had her for French and I didn't mind her at all. We would sometimes have to correct her or remind herwhere we were in our work, but I just thought it was funny. Shes really good for teaching French. I could see how her forgetfulness and disorganization ould be frustrating for other classes. There was a lot material covered in class so keep up!

Comment:
Ms. Matherne was a very helpful teacher; she once spent two hours with me out of class helping me to perfect one of my projects. Yes, she is anal retentive, which can be extremely frustrating at times, but she is because she wants you to have the best product possible. Go to class, listen to what she says, and you can have an easy A. Good luck!

Comment:
Ms. Matherne is quite frankly a horrible professor. She does not allow for any creativity or free thought by student and regards anything that is not exactly as she or the textbook states it as being wrong. She will revise your work and then pick it apart and grade very harshly after making the changes she said to do. Very, very contradictory.

Comment:
I'm fairly certain that Beverly Matherne is senile. She's a terrible teacher who is only concerned with what the book says, and doesn't consider common sense. It's common that she'll look over the group work, correct mistakes, then grade it and completely tear your work apart. I really recommend taking ANYONE you possibly can rather than her.

Take anyone but her. She's horrible. Annoying, weird, and sooooo boring. She tells you to correct things on your paper and then takes points off. Very contradictory... you will hate your life when you are in her class.

She lacks common sense, she's an absolute airhead, and as anal as they come. Do it her way, or...well, do it her way. There is no other way, at least she thinks so. Class was easy enough, but absolute hell to sit through.

VERY ANAL, forgets what she does and does not tellstudents, particularly about tests dates. hard to contact outside of class, strict attendance policy, very disorganized and sarcastic towards student requests. Very frustrating professor overall, very insensitive, and a waste of both my time and money!

This teacher is very Anal about everything. It is either her way or the highway. If you dont follow exactly what the books says, your screwed. Also, attendance you can only miss one day without losing points. Have fun, and conform perfectly to what she wants.

Comment:
The most useless prof that I've ever had. She makes it up as she goes along. Easy class but you're not going to learn anything. She'll edit all your projects in class three or four times and even if you do just what she asks she'll still tear it apart the next time that she looks at it. Lots of group work but you don't get to pick your group.

Comment:
I'm only three weeks into the class and it's miserable. She treats her students like high schoolers, doesn't allow student expression, and spends most of the time talking about herself, her life, and what she's published. Avoid her and if other people feel this way, organize yourselves and take action.

Comment:
The only problem that i really had with this class was all the teamwork required. My team never showed up to class, she basically wanted me to go to their hosues and drag them to class. SORRY, thats not my job, its hers. When i confronted her she gave me BS on how important teamwork is in the workforce. NOT REALLY.

Beverly Matherne is quite interesting. She shouldn't always wear the same dress, but that's just her way. She makes things interesting because she has an accent and that is funny.
