Only had him for a couple of lectures, but he's a dead set legend and great at explaining content whilst making it seem 10x more interesting than it actually is.
He's obviously very passionate about what he lecture on, and this really translates in the way he speaks. I look forward to these lectures every week, and he doesn't read from the slides or a script, but just talks about these topics which he finds truly fascinating. He makes learning seem easy. :) Definitely recommend psyc2040, and also wish he would lecture more!
Matthew is such a genuine person and is always generous with his time in helping students. He is so knowledgeable and yet down to earth. He is always clear with his explanations and makes everything sound so interesting! Definitely UQ's best!
My favourite lecturer I have ever had! Lectures are very clearly structured, well explained and interesting. Even potentially dry content is made enjoyable. Assessment expectations are also clear, and if any issues arise Matthew is very approachable and has such a genuine nature.
Professor Hornsey is most likely the reason PSYC2040 was my favourite subject of the semester. His lectures are entertaining, understandable and taught in a funny and thoroughly interesting way. Definitely one of UQ's best.
Best lecturer I ever had. Was always engaging, friendly, funny and easy to learn from. Applied a lot of the content to his own life. He actually made me want to go to class because he would turn off Lectopia when telling some of his really funny stories and he played cool videos before lectures and in breaks. Wish he taught more classes.
Matthew Hornsey is perhaps the best lecturer I have had the pleasure to learn from in my time at UQ. He is clear, logical and insightful, as well as clever, funny and all round entertaining. He ensures that lecture content is always interesting and well structured, and he always leaves you with the feeling that he is totally approachable. I wish he taught more of the psychology courses, as I'd love to be able to continue learning from this amazing man.
