Student Comments
I really enjoyed getting to know Dr. Deeg. He works incredibly hard to include everyone and make students participate. (Leadership, Spring 2023)
I think Dr. Deeg does a fantastic job presenting the information we need to learn in the course and he allows a great way for us to defend and critique our knowledge as well. I think that the level of difficultly for this class was pretty high in that this was my first COBA course, but he always helped clarify and ease my stress when it came to this course. I love the content we learned and how we were able to apply it. Overall, my experience in this course was really positive and it always started my early T, TH classes off to a good start. (Organizational Behavior, Fall 2022)
He did an amazing job at always coming to class prepared. He always made sure to make the class engage in discussions and truly cared what each student thought. We had many presentations for this class and it was a great learning experience on how to be a team leader, and also work with team members. He always made sure to give us good feedback on anything we turned in. Lastly, he was always so caring and willing to work with students to improve in his class. He truly cares about his students and wants the best for them. (Leadership, Spring 2022)
One of my favorite professors at ku! his knowledge on the topics was unreal and he was very approachable so if you wanted to continue to discuss a topic he was more than willing (Organizational Behavior, Spring 2019)
Matt is one of my favorite teachers so far. He had guided notes which were very helpful and helped keep the class engaged in the material. I wish more classes were structured this way. (Organizational Behavior, Spring 2019)
Matt was an awesome teacher this semester and I could really tell that he cared about our learning. (Human Resources Management, Fall 2017)
Excellent job, he made the class very entertaining. (Organizational Behavior, Fall 2018)
I really enjoyed this class! Matthew is a great teacher is a good at applying lessons to real world scenarios. I feel like I learned a lot of valuable lessons in this class and would recommend him as a teacher to any peers taking MGMT 310 in the future (Organizational Behavior, Spring 2019)
I gained skills from this class and learned a great deal about organizational behavior. The professor did a great job teaching and taught the material in a great fashion. (Organizational Behavior, Fall 2018)
I love Mr. Deeg!!! He's the best teacher and so helpful. He makes learning exciting. (Organizational Behavior, Spring 2019)
I did not get a chance to thank you in person after [the final exam] for your time and effort in the classroom this semester. You made the class extremely entertaining and personable throughout the year. When I first entered the class I viewed in previously as one I would not be interested in (as a Finance student I'm sure you understand I'm more of a numbers person). You taught excellently and connected with each individual student extremely well, and I view you as one of the top professors I have had in my KU career.
