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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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 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. :)

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.

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.

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.
