Save yourself please. Never take this prof. For both of the classes he teaches the mid term average was 50%. He has failed his students and accepts no responsibility. On top of that, he is a horrible communicator and does not have an approachable personality.

Avoid at all costs! There are no assignments and most of the grade relies on midterm and final. Be prepared to study extra hours, as his lecture is useless.

Allan's a boomer. He's well-spoken and will take the time to teach you the material in-class and during office hours. But he doesn't prepare you for his tests, which demand that you have an excellent grasp of the subject. Just going over the notes doesn't reward you. Took him during COVID and he didn't host any online classes. He just winged it.

He is a very funny guy. It is a very lecture-heavy course but he makes them relatable to you and current events. He adds humour into examples which helps keep everyone engaged. Its a difficult course as he posts no notes so you need to follow along and take the notes.

I don't know if people were in the same class as me , Allan was great! The lectures were interesting, easy to follow and they truly challenge your world view. While Textbook was not really mandatory, I have read all of the chapters of concepts he has covered in class. Practice questions made all the difference, but the tests only cover lectures.

Take him if you want to learn life, he will never ever ask you to use textbook. If you understand his lecture you can get an A, best instructor ever.

OMG. I have taken so many classes at both SFU and Douglas and this has been one of the most difficult classes I have ever taken. I studied for more than 5 hours per week, used 2 textbook and practice problems, attended every single class. At the end I still couldn't pass. Allan seems nice person but the grading is harsh. Maybe it wasn't him, but me

Never take this teacher if you want to pass your program. He always says in class that he will make sure we repeat the course and he do mean that. he dont give any assignment to do, there are only few quizzes in class that include just true and false which are way more tough than one can think about. Dont make a mistake to take his class.

He provides no review material, or any examples of what his quizzes and tests are like. The quizzes are 10 T/F, and make sure you never have more than 2 trues, because you will fail. Class average for the midterm was 55%. Will put things on the exam he said he won't. Even if you try your best, Allan may not be the right prof for you.

Comment:
Long-winded. No textbook. 4-5 in-class written assignments, 1 midterm, 1 final, and an easy presentation project. You get the impression that he doesn't care much about the course or whether or not you learn; he just speaks for 3 hours from his own knowledge on various topics. Only way to pass is to show up and write down whatever he says.

Allan Matadeen is the best instructor in Douglas College for Economics. If anyone is really interested in learning Economics then must go with Allan's class. He is an amazing human being. If u attend his lectures, listen to him carefully and read only the class notes you will easily get a good grade. Hard work and efforts matter.

Review dated 10 November 2017 is very accurate. I left in fury as he was capricious, not academically rigorous--obvious to anyone having taken ENGL 1130--and very arbitrary. As a result of these 3, he'd mess with your reality (gaslighting) and drag you down to his level. Textbook case of rent seeking behavior and a walking contradiction.
