Love him, but to break it down whether you should take it here it is. If you love math and want to pursue higher math classes, I recommend him bc he makes you think how to get to an answer rather than just telling you. On the contrary, if you are just trying to get a basic math credit, I don't suggest taking him because he does make it kinda hard.

Great professor!He explains the material until you understand it, regardless of how long it takes. Breaks up the ch. so each exam didn't have too much new material.(e.g. quiz over 5.1-5.4 then another quiz 5.5-5.8 instead of exam over 5.1-5.8). Exams are easy if you study your hw and in-class notes. Really knows his stuff, highly recommended.

There is a difference between knowing your material and knowing how to teach it. While respectable in intellect, Dr. Muhundan's ridiculously difficult tests and lectures in which he expects you to learn through his way and only his way reflect his major flaw as a teacher: a seeming disregard for the fact that everyone learns in different ways.

Muhundan will answer any math question. One question, that he took class time to answer, was at least 10 very long steps. He very willing to help. His tests aren't too bad. I would highly recommend him to anyone. One of the best mathematics professors at SCF.

Has an accent that can be unclear. Grade consists of tests and final exam and that's it. You can use mymathlab as extra credit but it won't make your grade. sometimes teached us well while others times he would whisk through your questions. Doesn't communicate with students and doesn't use canvas.

Doesn't really help you study for the tests, just gives you an online study guide. You better show up or you're getting dropped. Has an accent so you have to pay attention. Homework is on MyMathLab is extra credit which is nice, but you have to keep up with the class. Goodluck!

Yes, he does have an accent... BUT he is the sweetest man. There were numerous times he would stay after class and help me understand the material. I am taking him again this summer!! He also gives a lot of extra credit on tests and online homework. It is not his fault if you do not study for the test. He is TheBomb. Com

He gives a ton of homework, but each test is worth more than the entire semester's worth of homework. So even if you get 100% on every single homework, you won't pass if you don't do well on the tests. And the tests have completely different materials than what the MML homework showed you.

Knows his material, but the tests are way, way different from what he lectures you on and from what you study on MML. Instead of teaching you exactly what you need to know for the exams, he expects you to recall practically everything in hi lectures where he blazes through *moutains* of material. I will say that he does stay after class to help.

He was very helpful whenever I emailed him, and always responded in a timely manner. The homework was fairly easy and he gives enough time in order to get it done and you can redo the problems as many times as needed in order to get an A. As long as you do the work the class is a breeze. Also offers extra credit on all tests, even the final exam.

There is a lot of homework, so don't put it off until the last day. Each test includes extra credit which is nice (even the final). Don't take an accelerated course unless you're ready to cram - I fell into this trap and now have to retake the course. It had nothing to do with the professor, it's just a lot of work.

LISTEN TO ME. His exams are exactly like his reviews with different numbers, do the review and you will get a pretty easy A. The homework is just as much as any other class. Usually a section due each Sunday, usually about 20 math problems. He is really nice. After the first 2 classes his accent will be completely unnoticeable. (:

Very lecture heavy. My Math Lab is no longer EC (as far as I know, thatd be a sweet surprise) and that leaves very little opportunities for EC, which sucks if youre a bad test taker. Tests and exam are worth 75% of total grade. No makeup tests, no matter the circumstance. Dr. Muhundan seems like a sweet man, but a rough professor.

Great for engineering students. I look forward to lectures. Talks about applications to problems instead of just the theory. Ideas from earlier math courses are tied in so you're not simply memorizing the book. Has a sense of humor. I travel from Venice to Bradenton campus specifically for this class. It's worth the the extra drive time.

For this class all you had to do was watch and read the chapters pre made by Pearson and do the homework on time. Test online were okay but if one thing was off like an extra space the computer marks the whole problem as wrong. My issue lies with the professor not responding if you need help.. plus he lacks empathy. Would never take again

I'm still early in the course and it is horrible. This prof grades weird. Homework is 9 pts and tests are 100 pts, doesn't sound right to me. Also Honorlock, I haven't used it yet but I never had to be watched to do timed tests for online classes, which he doesn't(in my opinion) give you enough time at all to do the problems.

I had no choice but to take this prof over the summer. While he wasn't terrible, he is pretty tough and doesn't budge. I had 46 credits and a 4.0 GPA before taking his class, so I would say I am relatively smart, but his class is intense. Obviously calculus isn't easy but he is tough. No extra credit, 1 attempt tests. Only take him if you must!

If you're going to take his Calculus course then be mentally ready. This class requires some extreme discipline. You'll have to research many concepts to understand them properly. You'll have to start studying for the Tests while still only halfway through the chapters. He does help students if you ask for it. Good luck.
