Prof. Ulrich Matter brings extraordinary engagement to every lecture. Despite the strong incentives for junior faculty members to put research first, Prof. Matter is dedicated to his courses and provides excellent learning materials beyond the textbook and the lecture slides. Students value Prof. Matter’s motivation to teach for a deeper understanding and expertise. Coupled with his timely choice of topics, he equips students with relevant knowledge and state of the art tools to tackle today’s challenges in research and practice.
To say it in the words of a former student of his:
“I have had the pleasure to be a student in Prof. Matter’s Data Handling Course in fall 2018.
In class, we appreciated Prof. Matter for providing a perfect balance between, on the one hand, applied knowledge relevant to a 21-century Economist or business leader, and on the other hand a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Thereby he is helping students to grasp, not only how, but why something is done in a certain way. Students moreover appreciate the first-class teaching materials, Prof. Matter provides, which exceed the student's expectations and greatly enhance the learning process. As a lecturer, we the students, value Prof. Matter for his extraordinary commitment to every sin-gle lecture. Something which can be felt from the bench of a lecture hall.
Finally, we would like to congratulate Prof. Matter on the revolutionary achievement of providing Markdown slides, which actually look good.”
