Great teacher, one of my favorite math teachers at the school. Good sense of humor and very thorough
This is not an easy class, but he teaches itvery well. Homework is required, and its about 1-2 hours a night, but he assigns it for a reason. Tests aren't difficult if you study and use his practice exams. Funny & helpful teacher, highly recommended!!
Very humorous and motivated instructor. Was my favorite math instructor at the JC. Lectures are very clear. Tests can be difficult, but hey... just study :)
Mr. Munton was the best math teacher I ever had.
Dan is the best teacher I've encountered at the JC. He incorporates humor into his discussion in an effective and professional manner so as to maintain a positive and attentive learning environment. If I could take all my classes, I would be happy to.
Great teacher!! Definitely one of the best I have had. He really knows what he is teaching, is very helpful, easy to approach, and makes jokes to keep your mind from straying too much.
Dan is the man. I loved being in his class. My only complaint is his tests. Danger...Danger...His tests are extremely hard...Much harder than the assigned homework.
Do yourself a favor and take Munton. He is my favorite teacher ever. His test are fairly hard and you have to keep up with the homework. Also his lectures are fun and interesting. "Sweet you say."
Excellent!! teacher. He makes the class very enjoyable and jokes around…For the tests you have to be really prepare and DO the homework. You should definitely take him
He is an awesome teacher, he makes the class fun to attend. He is very clear on what he wants. "What was that? More you say." He teaches like he's talking directly to you, and it helps people learn more. He calls on people, but not in an intimidating way. AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!
He's an awesome teacher!! Really fun teaching, love his sayings and honestly wants you to understand the material. Really enjoyed his class, homework wasn't too bad but there's a lot and his tests are hard, trust me.
Be prepared for those tests--they are extremely difficult. The teaching is awesome! Sweet you say? Yeah, me too.
Brilliant - the best math teacher I have ever had. Yeah, do watch out for those tests, but if you can definately take Dan Munton for any math course - he is the best!!!
Excellent teacher! Very passionate about math and has a way of making you excited too. He is very hard, so don't expect to skate through. He is very helpful if you go to office hours and don't understand something.
Listen to everyone. He is an awesome teacher. His lectures are funny and interesting. Also as everyone says he can have some pretty difficult tests, be prepared.
Quite possibly the greatest teacher, no, greatest man, to ever walk this earth.
Best math teacher I ever had. Show up on time, do the homework, listen and you will get an A. He is a very funny man who cares about how his students do.
Excellent instructor, hands down the best math teacher I have ever had. Really cares about his students and wants you to do the best you can. Do watch yourself on the test though, they tend to be a little tricky.
He sometimes has a fast pace. Over all he is a good teacher. I hate the text book he uses.
Great teacher. A few tips for possible students: He will make an example out of you if; you come late (even in 1st few weeks), have phone on (even vibrating), do anything other than pay attention. Tests are hard but if you do homework and prepare with his tests that are on reserve in library, you will be prepared. He also allows a page of notes.
He is the best teacher I have ever had! Show up to class on time and pay attention. He makes jokes about problems to make this hated more fun.
The best math instructor I've had at the JC hands down. He makes the material easy and, somehow, fun. He has some minor pet peeves about people being late and cell phones, but those things bug me too, so I didn't care! Most importantly, he genuinely cares about his students understanding the material.
Dan is a good teacher. Class is hard, but as long as you do the h.w and study for the test you'll do ok. There are other statistics teachers that are much easier, but i think that munton's class is better because your knowledge does increase. good teacher! I got an A. to do that study, do h.w, and get smart group for the group project.
Dan The Man. This guy's good. Never in my life have I came across such a great Math Teacher. I love when he tells little corny jokes because no one laughs, it's great. He really over emphasizes everything to perfection, it's truly amazing. His classes fill up fast so register w/ him early!
He's a challenging teacher, to say the least. If anyone could write "Advanced Theoretical Mathematics For Dummies," it'd be Mr. Munton. He is BY FAR the best teacher I've ever had. Beyond his teaching skills, he has an amazingly vibrant personality. His tests make you THINK, but isn't that the point? "Algebraic Massage!"
He is a very good professor and very interested in getting to know his students. I really enjoyed the way he taught the class, i don't think he is easy nor hard, somewhere in between as long as u do homework ;)
Very hands on
Great Teacher but very demanding..if you dont have a full load of classes i would RECOMMEND,he teaches good..but if you have other hard classes i would recommend another teacher...3 group projects, a lot of homework, hard tests, gets mad when your 2 minutes late, very vibrant though...
Great teacher! Tests are a bit difficult, so you really need to know the subject matter. I didn't read the chapter text and used my notes the whole time. His lectures are awesome. Clearly writes and communicates and he is funny! I would take again!
I have taken him many times for diff math classes, and strongly recommend. Not an easy teacher. He is always well prepared and expects the same from you. Hardest tests, but best lectures! Don't miss class and do all h.w. PreCalc was easy with him, 1st year of Calc wasn't, but is it ever? very limited office hours, but quality help when available!
He is an excellent teacher. I am a student who learns most things through teaching not reading. When he teaches I completely grasp his explanation and he does a great job of keeping my attention.
Dan was probably the most amazing math professor I have ever had! I have to take tons of math (which I hate) for my major, and he makes it fun and interesting. You do have to attend class and do the homework, so if you're looking for a free ride, this isn't it. But if you want to really GET IT, he's your man.
Teacher is refreshing. I would take him again for Math 155
I never thought any teacher would be able to keep me interesting in calculus at 7:30 AM everyday until i met this man.
Great teacher! He's FUNNY, helpful, clear, and accessable. He and Mr. Martin are the best math teachers at the JC! Highly recommend!
Professor Munton is by far one of the best instructors I have ever had. He has a passion for math that rubs off on his students. He doesn't make the material easy but he tries his hardest to make everyone understand the subject. Highly recommended if you want to learn and be challenged while having a good time as well.
Hands down the BEST math teacher I've ever had. I look forward to class. He is so amazing, and hilarious! He is so clear in his teaching. If you don't understand, GO and see him, he makes himself more than available to his students. Can't miss too much class..DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Good practice for the tests. EASY random GROUP quizzes too!
I graduated from SRJC in May 2006, and I still have fond memories of Mr. Munton's 7AM statistics class. LOVED it. One of the best professors I've had. He made potentially confusing concepts seem simple, and managed to make a two hour, early morning math class fun, engaging, and enjoyable. He was very helpful during office hours. A great teacher.
Dan have office hours for you to come and ask any question about the lecture, tests, projects. Also, he replies your email back as soon as he gets the email. He is a handsome, nice and funniest Math teacher.
He is really funny and you will enjoy his creative class.His tests are easy and really close to sample tests.He is willing to answer your questions as soon as possible.He can keep you awake for four hours every week by his impressive teaching.
He is such a jolly and nice teacher, has a sense of humor, and helpful advice. You have to work hard on your HW even though it's 10% of your grade, but he still gives a lot of chances for extra credit. He sometimes wears hawaiian T-shirt, which really describes his character. You are also allowed to bring a cheat sheet for the exam. Think about it!
TAKE HIS CLASS - very good teacher. Lots of energy even at 7am. Very easy to talk to and helpful. Wants you to understand and succeed. Two projects, homework each class, old tests available for review, allows one page notes for tests.
highly recommended! i actually like coming to class at 7 in the morning! Dan is a really great teacher, he really does want you to succeed and he's always available if you need help take stats with him!!
He is a funny energetic guy. He does a great job explaing/teaching math. The only thing that bugged me was that I could not work ahead on the homework because he would have us do some problems differently than how the book wanted it. Other than that excellent teacher.
great teacher. very clear, very funny. take notes, do the hw and talk to him if you get behind
AMAZING!! very clear and helpful. a tough class. you have to put in a good amount of work. he's willing to let the homework be turned in late occasionally. very nice man and helpful
Absolutly the best math teacher I've ever had. He makes something boring into something fun. Great personality and very helpful.
GREATEST MATH TEACHER EVER. I have always hated math, and he has changed that. I'm trying to take him next semester, but his class is already full as always. He's easy to understand, will help you if you don't get it, and is FUNNY!!
What I like about Dan Munton: Absolutely crystal clear in his teaching style. Always tremendously prepared for every class. Recognizes that HW is a useful study tool so makes sure it is returned before tests (or he doesn't collect it until after). Fast pace, but will go over anything unclear to anyone. Exc. pract. Exams. Bothers to learn names!
Very good teacher!! Recommend to anyone taking math 155. I have three words- HE IS AWESOME!!!!!
I really liked him. He has a good teaching style, and is always willing to help. He has a good sense of humor and likes to make lame jokes throughout the class. Really wants you to succeed and is really helpful in his office hours - I strongly recommend him for any math class
Clearly explains what will be on his tests. He will even outline exactly what he wants on the board. He willingly spend lots of classtime going over any and every question you have about the homework. 2nd best math teacher I've ever had, and I've had many.
Professor Munton is extremely helpful, but extremely hard. His tests are extremely difficult and long, but if you keep up with the homework, attend class regularly, and ask questions you'll probably do good. Advise: Prepare, Prepare, Study, Study, for tests! This is the most difficult part of the class...good thing is he is extremely helpful.
VERY HELPFUL. JUST DO THE WORK AND ASK FOR HELP IF YOU NEED IT AND YOU WILL PASS. ON HIS TEST DO ALL THE STEPS EVEN IF IT IS WRONG HE WILL GIVE YOU CREDIT.
Dan Munton has an amazing ability to explain the abstract concepts of calculus very, very well. I found that he can be very picky on grading tests and stupid mistakes may cost you a lot of points on a problem. But this is math 2A and it's time to stop making such mistakes. Overall he is one of the best teachers I have ever had.
Continued from below... One other thing about Mr. Munton is that even though his jokes in class are "lame" as one reviewer mentioned, I found myself laughing every time he made one. For example, "rhymes with shmartial shmerivative" was hilarious every time he said that.
I'm going to sound redundant after all the comments before me, but Munton really is the best math teacher ever! I had a terrible teacher last semester for math 155 (Rebecca Fouquette do not take her she is awful) and dreaded having to redo the class this semester. I needn't have worried! Mr. Munton is totally clear, understanding, and super funny!
GREAT TEACHER, I'm taking him for statistics!
NOT AN EASY A, but deff. worth taking his class! If you just do your work and study, youll pass! He's very helpful!!! Highly Recc.!!!
There have only been two math teachers at the JC that I have absolutely loved, and Dan Munton is one of those two! I have always had a problem with math, and dreaded having to take it. Dan made this class so much fun for me! His jokes are absolutely hilarious, he always had me laughing in every class! Not only that, but he is willing to help you wi
Great Teacher. Be prepared to work!!! His practice tests are nothing like the real ones! His exams are very hard!!!! Other than that hes great
Great teacher, explains everything well, 3 tests, 1 sided note page allowed on tests, 3 for the final, if you have any questions use his office hours, totally helpful, 3 projects, responds to e-mail quickly
This class is difficult no matter what. Be prepared to work really really hard. Mr. Munton will help you at any time and he is respectful, very fair and will give extra point to the class as a whole. This was the most difficult math class I took after calculus.
One of the best teachers on campus.
Great guy, with and awesome personality. He makes learning the material clear and understandable. If you put in some effort getting a good grade is not tough. Highly recommend him.
He is hands down one of the best teachers I have ever had. He really enjoys math, and he really cares about his students. He takes the time to explain concepts in a way that each student can understand.I wish I could take him for all my math classes.
I took him for 1C and came back for 2. He's really in love with his subjects and one of the best math teachers on campus. Math 1C and 2 aren't interesting subjects but he tries his hardest to make it fun and is very helpful at office hours.
The best math teacher i have ever had. He loves math, understands it well, and can help you understand it in more than just one way. more than willing to help and explain the homework, and goes over literally everything you need to know for tests, homework and quizzes. i would take him again
Dan is a good teacher, although I didn't enjoy the class very much. He is very energetic and likes to engage the class. This is useful for an early morning class. Exams are HARD, and he is a nit picky grader.
Mr. Munton is awesome. I actually enjoy going to math now and not only is he hilarious, but he relates to his students and actually tries to get to know them. He does a great job of helping people remember things and is very approachable.
One of the best teachers I've ever had! He's engaging and funny and does his best to keep everyone up to speed. Incredibly helpful in his office hours. Easy if you put in the effort. Do your homework!
Munton can show you the beauty in math & he can show you the comedy in math.That may sound like an unlikely combo, but that's just 'cause it's rare.Munton is a rare instructor.Yeah, he's hard.Beware the brutal exams.But pay attention (the lectures are a treat) & you'll succeed. You'll laugh despite yourself at his horribly cornball yet witty puns.
Munton is surely a quirky guy. He makes you laugh nearly every class, and it is refreshing to find a teacher who is passionate about what he does. With that being said, do not take this class for an easy "A," because you won't get it. It is easy to fall behind, and the tests are difficult. GO SEE HIM IN HIS OFFICE, he is more than happy to help.
Dan makes it easy to do math! He has a very creative and intelligent mind and uses it to get the lesson so well into your head that you will think it was your idea. Bravo.
Mr. Munton was by far the best math teacher I've ever had. He really makes everything clear, and makes math easy! He is also hilarious, and managed to make what I thought would be a dull, dreary night class into a engaging fun learning experience. Great teacher!
Mr. Munton is the best math teacher I have ever had. He is funny, keeps class interesting and is very helpful and wants to help you understand the material. His tests are hard, and you need to stay on top of the homework. I hate math,it is really hard for me and he made it so much easier!!!
Dan Munton is an amazing teacher! He is very clear and very understanding. He makes math simple to understand. I highly recommend him
Dan slays the math.
Great teacher would highly recommend. Very helpful and personable. learned everyones names by the third day of class.
He always sings the quadratic formula song
One of the best math teachers I have ever had. I learned so much in this class. Munton is extremely entertaining during lectures that going to class 4 times a week was fun. His tests are very difficult, but he curves them. His first test is ESPECIALLY difficult, but he is jus trying to weed out the un-dedicated students. Stick it out.
He's one of my favorite teachers. There is no non-sense when you take Math from D. Munton, he is precise about everything. Except for the fact that he can tell jokes. I'm taking him for my next semester.
Usted es el mejor profesor y muy guapo!
I wish I had taken him for my earlier math classes.
He's the best math teacher at the JC. Sign up for one of his classes if you can.
I love Munton. He is a great teacher that loves what he does. He is super funny and makes the class a little less stressed. He is not an easy teacher though, he wont let you slide. I definitely recommend him as a teacher, he is AWESOME!
Well, I am not gonna get a great grade but that's my fault--not his. He really is a great math teacher(the best at the JC); his lectures are so interesting, and he's funny to boot--he had students laughing each class. It was my favorite class this semester and of my time at the JC. Thanks, Superman!
didnt know it was possible to laugh so much in a math class. tests are kinda hard but he knows his stuff and helps in office hours.
great teacher. Helpful and makes math fun to learn.
Good class, I would take this teacher again.
mandatory class, but it matters who you get.
GREAT!
This class has been really hard for me. I suck at math. But he's been great.
Good teacher but don't come in late.
Munton has been the best teacher I have had at the jc. He made MATH 1B an easier class compared to taking MATH 1A with John Martin. He is super witty and has cheesy jokes. I have taken three math classes with Munton: 27, 1B and 1C, all with online homework that dramatically helped me. TAKE HIM! you wont regret it.
Would take again.
Would you sign up for a Math class at 7am? I never thought I would either, until doing so was the only way I could take him again. Seriously, best Math teacher (if not best teacher, period) at the SRJC. Taken him two straight semesters, registered to take him again in my third. *Highly* recommended.
wonderful teacher. bad subject
Munton and the quadratic formula song Rock!
The only thing I was looking forward to at the beginning of the semester was finishing the last math class i will ever have to take. But I was surprised to find i actually looked forward to his class. Not like a regular boring math class, there was lots of interesting things that he taught us , like how different cultures used math.
He is funny, and keeps class lectures on track. Home is online, which is actually really helpful. He loves it if you read the section beforehand, and will always help clarify in classoffice if you have any questions. Come to class! This is tricky material. Tests are straightforward: based off of examples, homeworks, old tests. Final is tough!
Dan is the best teacher ever! He's a great math teacher, yes, but I would take ANY class that he taught. He is very clear, goes slowly, but is very entertaining. I HATE math, but he totally saved my semester and really my whole college career! I can only say great things about him. Definitely take him whether you like math or not.
Dan is very nice, what I did not like about the class is that the homework is to be done online. Basically you can guess on the homework and get a good grade on it but you will not understand the material which means you wont do good on exams.
Munton was one of the best teachers I have ever had. I have always hated math, but he made my 7 am stats class totally bearable. He is so clear with all of the material and uses useful examples from real life situations. If you go to every lecture the homework and tests are not hard. He even allows a page of notes for each test. Would take again!!!
One of the best teachers I have ever had! He made my 7 am stats class totally bearable. Extremely clear on the material and uses funny, real life examples. Homework and tests are totally do-able if you go to all the lectures. He even allows a page of notes for each test. Would take again!! (And I haaaate math).
Dan made a hard subject easier. He is comical and fun and not what you would expect from a math genius. Homework online and in class most nights, But the homework helps prepare you for the exams. There were group projects, that were pretty straight forward and simple. I would take another course with Munton.
The best teacher ever, he tries his best to give you a clear understanding of any material, he is also funny and make the 2 hour seem like 10 minutes. Time just goes fast in his class. I recommend him 100%
Love this class because he so funny, easy to understand. when u ask questions he will kindly explain it again... u have to come to class and do work to pass
Dan is an awesome math teacher! I had him for 1C and it was great. He really presents the material and goes over things if students don't understand. His exams are a bit tough but very manageable. He really want you to know the concepts. His hw is online with some written work. He does not do quizzes. Answers any questions you have. Great jokes!
Dan is an excellent instructor! The material was hard but he explains it in a way that made it some what easy for me. I recommend Mr. Munton for anyone who has a hard time with Math.
Dan Munton is hands down the best math instructor I've ever had. He reviews while approaching new material, tests you on new material-not old, allows notes on tests, always willing to answer questions, does problems in detail so that you really know how to do it. I wish I could have taken him for Calc1 and 2, then I would be doing so much better.
Dan was great! I had to repeat the class and couldn't get a class with him but he was a really great teacher. He was very enthusiastic every class, explained things well and I love his examples and made up stories with word problems. Homework was in class and online but not too bad. Tests weren't too hard and made the subject easier to learn. :)
Great teacher, he goes really in depth about each section and breaks it down where its easy for everyone to understand. He is caring, works with students to make sure everyone understands and provides great notes. He cares more about this students than himself. Great humor
A very respectable and great teacher. Always more than willing to help in any situation, and provides a ton of examples and good lecture notes. He can get a little annoying if you're someone that's always late, but besides that, I would 100 percent recommend him for any class. He provides study guides for exams, and final, allows notes. Must do HW.
Professor Munton has really helped me improve my math skills. His lectures are very clear and he is willing to answer questions. He is also very funny and makes the class interesting(this is coming from someone who hated math). Prepares you well for tests & responds to emails quickly. Enjoyable and informative class. Take him!
Mr. Munton really helps you learn the subject with lots of examples and handouts to perpare you for tests.
Mr. Munton was my last math teacher. I had him for 150B and it was a breeze. On the other hand math 15 was very difficult for me. But Mr. Munton did not give up on me and helped me so much. He's very funny but don't be late to class or he will jokingly call you out.
most amazing teacher I have ever had. got me through the class by teaching us step by step. very easy to understand, uses real life events.
Explains everything a lot maybe too much but that can be very helpful
Dan Munton is one of the best math teachers I've taken so far! He makes learning math fun and relates what we larnt o the real world! Take him for Math 15
Professor Munton is one of the best professors for math courses.
Mr. Munton is an amazing math teacher. I was so afraid to take Algebra again after 30 years. He makes the class fun; cares about his students understanding the material and succeeding. His lectures are clear and engaging, and he makes jokes throughout. It's obvious he loves his job. I'm disappointed he isn't teaching 150B next semester.
Mr. Munton is THE BEST math teacher. He is clear in lecture, explains things in a way that you can understand and apply. He is funny, and cares about his students. You have to do the work, and go to class. He is available to his students and will go over any questions you may have. I highly recommend this teacher.
Munton is all around the coolest teacher I've had in my college career. He's hilarious and genuinely loves the material he teaches. I've never enjoyed math (or received good grades in math) before this class. If you keep up with your homework, come to class every day, and ask for help when you need it, you'll pass with flying colors.
DO NOT TAKE IF YOU'RE ANXIOUS ABOUT STATS! I took his STATS class after reading many good reviews. Though he is entertaining, he does require you to do online assignments as well as written. He also gave us 2 group projects. What Math class requires group projects! I scored well on projects as well as did all my hw but still did not pass his class!
Dan's an incredibly sweet person who reflects a passion for the subject and cares for his students inside the class and out, however, he really makes you work for the grade and understand concepts thoroughly. There's weekly homework both online and in textbook, and tests are often fill in the blank/essay oriented. Great class, but seek out support.
I was dreading taking Math as it had been over 2 years that I took a math class but Professor Munton made this class enjoyable. Its a tough subject but he was accesible and would even hold late office hours the week of any tests. You have to put in the work, do all the HW, do the practice tests and go to class and office hours.
This man printed out all the lecture pages in packets to fill out, lots of info is provided with minimal writing, super easy and consistent way to study. A whole page of notes per exam and four pages for the final. This stats class is a breeze, especially if you're no stranger to STEM classes. He does use a $100 online textbook tho.
Professor Munton goes out of his way for his students. He has printed lecture notes all ready for you. A whole page of notes for tests and 4 pages of notes for the final. He also goes to you when he sees you suffering and allows you to re-do assignments for a better grade. Truthfully one of the best Math professors out there. He's amazing for math!
Professor Munton is by far the best professor I have had. I love his teaching style. He is very caring and wants you to succeed. I highly recommend taking his class.
Mr. Munton is an amazing math teacher! Math is by no means easy but Munton truly explains everything in such depth that as long as you ask questions and keep up with the homework, you'll be sure to pass. I ended up missing a good portion of classes and as long as I communicated properly, he was super understanding and even offered extra help.
He takes true care and time to helping us students understand the material. He makes math fun and has a great sense of humor and his lectures make a lot of sense and leave room for questions. I recommend this course to anyone who tends to struggle in math and thinks they cannot succeed. This course will change your mind.
Mr. Munton is an amazing teacher! He gives out packets and walks you through each lecture. He gives you plenty of prep for all tests with practice tests to do beforehand (optional). A couple projects but they aren't too difficult. If you struggle with math he is good to take. Very caring and understanding. He is also hilarious! My fav class yet!
