No Comments
Don't be fooled by the started completed statistic. Mr. Mullins is great and very helpful. I give him my full indorsement and look forward to taking him again in the future.
he's awesome!!! i really recommend him.he is fast but explain all details excellently.I will take any other math class with him !!!
Mr. Mullins is a great guy.. If it werent for him I dont think i would have passed math.. He gos out of his way to explain things if needed.. Very flexible and has a great sense of humor.
DUDE WON AN AWARD IN ORLANDO FOR BEING SUCH A GREAT TEACHER!!!! I had him for Beginning Algebra and will admit he teaches fast. I am now in College Algebra and have not learned anything new from what he had taught me.
AWESOME GUY! ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS AT VAL STATE HE EASY,FUNNY, AND VERY HELPFUL.
He is the best and best and the best of all five star for Daniel Mullins
Best math teacher ever. Makes everything clear. Uses good examples. Always interesting. Explains material and beyond. Pay attention and you will do good.
Very fast pasted techer. Needs to slow down. Not all students get it. Also show all work!!!!!!!
He's a nice guy but he moves way to fast. He assumes that you know everthing he's teaching and when he asks the class if they understand they just look at each other like deer in headlights! Tests are killers, collects h.w. checks for completeness not correctness.come to class daily u many make it
he is very nice but does move a little fast but he is very helpful and explains things well
An excellent teacher who covers the material well and always shows us alternatives to solving the same questions. Answers students questions well and makes me interested in the material we're studying. Full recommendation ^^
You are an awesome teacher. Your teaching skills with the story lines to help us remember formulas are great. Thanks to you, Keep it, change it, change it will always stick in my head. Once again, thanks, and congrats on the new baby.
Fabulous teacher! You changed my outlook on math! I'm still not good at it, but at least I want to be good at it. You changed my semester. I've gone through more then I want to admit, losing a child, and you understood, helped me out. Great teacher... Great friend. Thanks Dan.
Great teacher! I am a sorry math student. No matter how hard I try math is very hard for me. He was very patient and helpful. Very willing to go the extra mile to help his student pass. I recommend him to all math students. Must like movies.
THERE IS NO OTHER WORD TO DESCRIBE DAN OTHER THAN AWESOME!! I HAVE NEVER BEEN GOOD AT MATH AND PASSED HIS CLASS WITH AN A!! HE IS NOT ONLY VERY HELPFUL, BUT CONSTANTLY KEEPS HIS CLASS MOTIVATED BY TELLING JOKES AND LETTING LOOSE. I WOULD RECOMMEND DAN TO ANY STUDENT CUZ HE TRULY CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS PASSING THE CLASS. HE'S AWESOME!
Great to take if your not good at math. Really wants you to pass so, he will do anything he can to help you out. He is very knowledgable of the information he teaches and teaches you short cuts to problems. Take him for math, good teacher to have.
Dan is an awsome teacher. He really cares and helps you out in any way he can. Especially if your struggling with math, Hes the best teacher to take!!
nice guy but teachest 60 mph too many jokes very little example notes. about 15 students were left at the end of my class. motivational speaker or math teacher pick one.
Dan is the best teacher I have had in a long time. He is really laid back and is always willing to help his students in any way he can. He really cares about his students and wants everyone all to pass. There is a little bit of hw, and as long as you study and pay attentio, the tests are pretty easy.
Good Teacher explains the work very well. But he does show up to class late.
really cool and understanding, if you neded help he was available.
Mr. Mullins is such a great professor. He really wants every one of his students to pass. I was very discouraged and thought there was no hope, and he brought up my confidence to stay in the class and I passed and will definitley take him again. There is a lot of homework, and tests every week, but I truely think it helped me so much in the end.
He's a funny guy. Take him if your willing to go home and do homework and really study a lot on your own. He sometimes talks a lot about his wife and kids and then crams everything during the last 20 minutes of class. He's very nice and if you go to class on time and do what you gotta do itz an easy A.
He is a gret teacher and truley cares about his students. I had to drop due to personal issues, but he is worth taking. It is not an "easy A" in my opinion. You really have to work hard, study, do homework, pay attention, and be prepared for pop quizes, but you will do just fine if you do all of the above. I reccommend him.
Unless you have a strong math background, don't bother taking this professor. He doesn't go over homework, he hardly wants to work problems on the board, and goes over the material way to fast. Our class started with 25 students, and we only have 11 left halfway through the term. '''WARNING''' don't be fooled by other postings.
Mr. Mullins is super nice. He truly cares about his students, and he always wants to offer good customer service to us. Test every week, but he reviews them and they are multiple choice. Homework due the night of the test. Makes the class fun and interesting. Down to earth, calm guy.
Too Fast... Nice guy... Flexible... Crams lodes of info in too short of time... Very fair; Multiple choice, drops lowest score, test redo... Will take again!
Nice guy but seems like is way too tired to teach. Teaches HS then teaches at VCC teaches fairly fast goes on little stories so if math is your weakness do not take him you will loose focus with his stories. does 2 exammples? moves on to bad if you did not get it I taught myself the material mostly and the poor guy at the math center who I asked qu
Nice guy, but teaches way too fast. Just copies the example from the book and puts it on the board, then puts up a few more up for everyone to try. Problem is you need to TEACH us how to work out the problems. I can honestly say I tried this time but still had a low D before I withdrew. I learned more at SPA (tutoring) than with him. Very diss
Been out of school for awhile... Forced to take "Pre-Algebra" with this wonder. I don't even know why I come to class. The first 30 minutes he just sits there and says nothing. You're lucky if he teaches the last half of class. Valencia is wasting money on this guy... they should just leave the textbook in the room and write "learn" on the board.
He does a few examples on the board and expects you to know the material. All homework is online, so if you can't get the right answer, eventually the computer will do it for you. He doesn't teach, he just shows up, talks, and leaves. I've learned more from the lab instructor than I have learned from him. He's a nice guy, but a terrible teacher.
great teacher...learned alot with him...the commnts below are Bullsh*t...math is a hard subject with any teacher remember that..i would deff. take teacher again great sense of humor
hes a nice guy, but if you cant catch up on math quickly with his fast pace and aren't willing to get help out of the class room if this happens to you, I wouldn't recommend him
I'm sure that he is a great teacher, he just goes very fast and expects you to understand it. I tried retaking a class over the summer w/him and I needed much more indepth explanations than he was giving!
Dan is a really great guy but if your not good at math DONT TAKE him! He goes very fast and doesnt like to answer questions. he likes to chat and have fun. which is kinda bad when you dont understand math and you want an A.
No Comments
I HAVE A LOT OF FUN EVERYTIME I GO. HE'S ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE THE CLASS INTERESTING AND REALLY TRIES TO MOTIVATE THE STUDENTS.
great professor. requires alot of homework.
Dan is GREAT!! Very fast paced and a lot of homework, but definitely an A is possible. Come to class and do the work and you will be fine. Very nice guy and has a great sense of humor, which helps to make night classes a little bit easier.
This professor is awesome. he will help you with anything. i mean if you have a problem and you speak to him about it i am sure he is able to work something out with you. attendence is not mandatory. he does use the text book and give alot of homework but it is due the day of the test he give you more than enought time to be able to get it done. ov
Dan is great and works with you to make sure you have a successful and clear path to whatever math you take beyond this class.
Professor Mullins is a great teacher, he works at a fast pace. He is always willing to go back and review material with you.
He is so fast paced. You will fail if you arent good at math like I am. Gives you so much homework, modules, quizzes, you wont have time even to have a social life. He talks too much about irrelevant stuff and not about math. A bunch of us failed and a lot withdrew. Doesnt talk about the problems. Do yourself a favor. Dont take him.
Mr. Mullins was a very caring instructor. He is fast paced so be ready. As long as you actually put in work and study, you will do just fine. If you don't understand something just ask him and he will gladly go over something in class.
Mullins is an amazing professor that cares about your grade and will take the time outside of class and sometimes in class to make sure everyone understands. The homework may seem daunting due to the sheer amount but it can be completed fairly quickly and a majority of the questions on the hw show back up on the exams. A one of a kind professor!!
Dan is an awesome teacher. He tries to make class fun and bareable. He really takes the time to know his students and actually cares about them as human beings. Dan is just an awesome professor to have and people should really take his classes because he is very thorough and will take the extra time to help you understand the content.
Amazing professor! I had a 7am class and he was always energized and ready to help those who needed it. Extremely understanding and makes coming to a math class painless. Would recommend him to everyone!
He's a great human being for sure but if you're iffy at math he may not be the best choice. I loved having him but people in my class struggled greatly. I was a math major for a bit so his class came naturally to me but I know others had a hard time. If you have a solid foundation of math take him. He's literally the nicest teacher at Valencia tbh.
You are graded on 4 test and a final he drops your lowest test grade and replaces it with your final. Homework every week and if you complete the homework 48 hours in advance you will receive extra credit. Everything is fairly easy and if you do not understand a topic he will be MORE THAN HAPPY to explain it to you. Funny guy with dad joke humor :)
he definitely cares. i didnt think i was going to pass this class because of a few bad test grades, but professor Dan knew i tried my hardest and helped me believe in myself enough to pull through. Never been so proud of myself honestly. i will be taking my next math class with this professor.
When I first came into the class he introduced himself like this "My name is Mr. Mullins but i would much rather you guys call me Dan. Mr. Mullins sounds like really formal and what old people address me." From that day I knew I would like the class. He's super energetic and funny and he would help you pass in any way. His class is designed to pass
Over-rated.
I usually don't do these but, "Dan" gets off topic too quickly and even if you doesn't reach the lesson he still expects us to do the homework. Math center is going to be your friend if you don't understand the material he goes over and for the most part you don't, has pop quizzes. Overall wouldn't recommend.
Dans the best! He clarifies anything you need. There is a good amount of homework and he reviews problems in class.
The Professor is great! Just be ready to learn math. I took it in the summer and the summer term is shorter than the other terms so I had to crunch a lot of information in. It was hard, but just put time in the class and study and youll be okay. There are pop quizzes like 4 and test are pretty standard. Just study and youll pass.
Dan is a caring Professor, many of my classmates dont think so. He truly tried to help everyone pass. He gave extra credit for test which are 10 points. At the end he allows you to retake a test you score low on. Not to mention, he goes over questions missed on test or quiz. Just study and youll be okay. Dont expect to not study and get an A.
This class made me appreciate math a bit more but unfortunately, lots of people cheated in this class in order to pass the exams using an application called Mathway they ended up with As on their finals while people who studied didnt end up with good of grades. He needs to confiscate phones prior to exams in order to minimize cheating
Professor Mullins is probably one of my favorite teachers by far, he was super helpful when i was struggling in his class, and he went out of his way to help me. I would definitely take him again, 10/10 recommend him. Also knows his information and knows how to tech it clearly.
Dan truly cares about all his students and wants everyone to succeed. One downside, he uses an online program for all tests and homework. He has four tests and a final and will drop one of the lower grades for the final. If you struggle in math, this might not be a good fit as a lot of it is doing online work yourself.
I took him for my 1st semester for int. algebra and I am now taking him for college math for my 2nd semester. He is one of the best caring professors that I have encountered since high school. You should show up to class, he will go over any Q's and help you out. The math lab might be your best friend if u struggle in math like myself. TAKE HIM!!
Amazing professor, he make sure that you feel comfortable when taking his class. If you're a nerdy sci-fi person or watch a lot 80-90s movie then this is your profess, but anyway. Homeworks and quizzes/tests are easy, IF you study, but if not then you going to have some hard time in this class. Just remember, study make everything easy.
The best math teacher ever. He very understanding and cares for his student . Mullins such a caring and understandable teacher he like to see everyone pass if you fail his class its because you was being lazy.
He is a very smart professor but he had a lot going on and little time for people who need a little more help. Office hours were terrible if you work everyday. He did not teach everything on the test and when we asked about it he told us that he could not teach everything we had to do work ourselves. I am retaking online now and it is amazing.
Professor Mullins is one of the best teachers I have ever taken. He is available in scheduled meetings 2x weekly, has an assistant for extra zoom meetings as well as schedules to meet with your schedule. He wants you to succeed and by meeting with him you will get help with missed questions and he will give you points. Offers extra credit.
Professor Mullins is amazing! He genuinely cares for his students and wants to see them succeed. Even though my class was online and it was basically learn from the textbook, he was always available to help with any questions I had and is super understanding. :) Having him as a prof made me dread math a little less lol
Dan is a professor I would love to have for all my other classes. I took his class online and he really helps you not only pass the class but to get the best grade you can. If you reach out to him he will let you retake tests and quizzes, he will do all possible to get you to your goal in the class.
Professor Mullins was truly one of the best professors I've ever had. He genuinely wants his students to do well in his class and he goes above and beyond what is expected of him when he teaches. I took class with him online and he did daily zoom lessons to ensure that his students were successful. Fast replies to canvas messages. 10/10 teacher!
Dan Mullins was the best professor Ive had at Valencia. He cares about each of his students and does everything he can to help you pass his class. He cares about his students and goes above and beyond to help in any way he can. He helps you understand and will take as much time as needed to ensure you understand the topics. Best professor ever.
If you typically struggle with math take Dan! Hes the best math professor Ive had. He will stay on zoom and go over your homework and tests with you. I passed with a B !
The professor is one of the best I've had. He meets with you after every unit test to discuss the answers you got wrong and if he sees that you do understand the concept, he gives you extra points. Follow the syllabus and assignments/quizzes in Pearson and you will get a good grade. He wants you to succeed and he is available throughout the week.
Take this professor. He will change your life. He actually cares. His announcements are inspirational, he calls himself our coach. I have never met a more caring person, I caught COVID and was out a whole week and he made sure I caught up. Make sure you participate in his zoom meetings hes great at answering all your questions!
As a professor he is very kind and caring. He will go out of his way to help you. As for his class...I am horrible at math. This was easily the hardest class I have ever taken. It was a lot of work. More so at the very beginning of the class. Less work as the time went on. Math lab and no proctored. Allows notes on test.
Professor Mullins truly cares about his students and wants to ensure their success. As a student who works full time and goes to school full time he gave ample opportunities to help me have success during this course. There is work to be done but if you stay on top of it and keep a good schedule it is a easy class, I highly recommend.
Professor Mullins is a good teacher, but be prepared - you have to learn a lot. It is a good combination of a little of theory, which is included in exam tests, and practice. You have to pay attention to theory! In rest, Professor Mullins is helpful and friendly. Regards.
Professor Dan was an amazing math teacher. I took online Calculus for Business and Social Studies. At times I procrastinated and severely struggled as this was my first calc class but as soon as I started joining the optional zoom sessions he was there to support me every step of the way. He truly cares about his students.
He is amazing! I've never met a more understanding teacher that actually cared about my well being. He will do his absolute best to make sure you understand the material and will go over it 1000 times if needed. He will go over your test grades with you to give you extra points. Definitely take this man, he is amazing and a great teacher!
This is my second time taking this course. The first time I took it; the professor I had was rude and never cared to help so I passed with a D in that class. But when I took it the second time with Dan, I passed with an A. He helped me so much and made sure I took tutoring which helped. This is best professor I have ever took classes with.
Professor Mullins cares about his students & their mental health. Professor has an assistant so contacting them for help is really accessible and prompt. Zoom is optional for help and extra points. Reviews are much like the test and quizzes, not proctored nor honor locked. AMAZING class for online. 10/10 Take!!
Quizzes have 5 attempts. Tests have 1 attempt. EVERYTHING is open note, including the Final Exam. He offers Test Debriefs. I recommend taking notes and copying down examples, it truly helps. I took this course F2F for 8 weeks. Just make sure to set aside chunks of personal time to work on assignments; it's essential. Soooo caring and I loved him!
I Loved Dan's class, I took a hyper-accelerated class and I hate math but he made the topics easy to learn and I got out with a B+ his grading is quizzes tests and the participation (come to class) he really wants to help you if your willing to help yourself.
He really tries to help you succeed, HIGHLY encourage you to seek him outside of class if a test goes bad. In the accelerated course we did group work in class, but to pass you definitely need to put effort in watching the explanation videos and doing the practice questions with the textbook that you need to purchase.
Professor Dan is one of the best Professors at Valencia College! He truly cares about his students and their success in his class! Math is not my strongest subject at all, but I passed with a B! Make sure you attend test debriefs for extra credit and take advantage of quiz makeups. Don't be afraid to reach out, he is more than willing to help. :)
He's excellent, truly cares + tries to put the material in simple terms so the students can understand. Easily accessible outside of class There are HW and lectures online because the class is pretty tough with a lot to cover, but i'ts straight forward and easy to follow. I've tried this class with other profs and could never understand before him.
I absolutely love this professor. I took his class for summer b 6-week class, and how he would structure his class is every Tuesday and Thursday we have class. Instead of lectures, however, you get randomly assigned groups, and all work on problems together. Dan is super respectful and caring, and I genuinely say he is my favorite professor ever.
The reviews that Professor Mullins has accumulated on here are all true. Professor Mullins is one of the most humble and caring teachers i've ever had. He is very motivating and sends out weekly motivation, I took the 6 week course and it was a lot of work but it is attainable. There's a lot of opportunity for points and open notes for test
as someone who has much trouble with math, dan was a friendly and funny guy who made math a lot easier. he made me understand math very well due to his availability outside of class. very accommodating to my personal life and let me bring my grade up as much as i could! i would take him 10x! thank you dan!
Very good professor! Would recommend if you need a professor that actually cares for you! He wants you to succeed!
Dan Mullins is by far the best professor I have ever had! So kind and generous, and will give you extra time and help if you need it. There are a good amount of assignments but they are all doable and relatively easy with practice. The Practice Exams are extremely helpful to the actual exams. If you get the opportunity definitely take his class!!
Amazing professor! I strongly dislike math & this class helped me understand it so much more. Lots of group work! Dan is very respectful & you can tell he genuinely wants to see us succeed. I took his 8 week course & it was a lot of work but it's also self-paced so you can work ahead. If you did poor on a test PLEASE DEBRIEF! 100% would take again!
Professor Dan has been THE BEST professor. This was my first time taking math online and in English, but he made it an amazing experience he is EXTREMELY caring and kind and sometimes he will give you extra credit. The only thing there is A LOT of homework but he is very understanding with the due dates and also his test are proctored by honorlock.
He is an amazing professor! Since it was a new class, it was difficult and he wanted to hear our feedback on the homework assignments and quizzes. Also, he is very caring and helps as much as he can. Besides homework load and some quizzes, there are 5 exams in total.
Professor Mullins was my favorite professor during my first semester. I entered his class hating math and exited it loving math. He is extremely engaging and makes an effort to make the subject interesting rather than boring. The materials he uses are extremely helpful and he provides really good feedback. I wish my next math class was one of his.
He's a great professor. I wish I could take him again for my next math class. There's hw every week but it's not hard. There are test but if you do the hw they are easy. He offers labs for extra help and always has open communication lines.
Professor Mullins is one of the best math instructors I've had. He explains concepts clearly and is very accommodating - I was able to bring my grade up significantly thanks to his help and flexible policies. The course is manageable with the right study tools like Unstuck ai alongside the textbook.
Professor Mullins is my best teacher I ever had since I started college, he's caring student, just email him your problem, its will definitely solve. He answered email so fast and he ís so nice.
Professor Mullins is an awesome math teacher, we work more in group setting which allows us to interact with our classmate. There is a lot of homework though. As long as you take really good notes and understand the material you are golden!
Prof. Dan is motivational and deeply cares. The class is very straight fwd. Read the chapt, aim to get a 100% on hmwk & quizzes. Always complete the practice tests they are very similar to the actual test. Attend Zooms. You can pass if you try. Don't procrastinate, it's easy to fall behind. The class moves very fast but doable. Best prof to take!!
Professor Daniel was amazing and very helpful he provided lots of information and it really showed he cares about his students. I will say if you are taking this class be prepared to spend hours on homework and exams are like every week so you must be prepared to take lots of test. He does offer lots of ways to make up your grade so that's a plus.
I am not good at math. But Dan made this class helpful. Homework is a couple days a week. You can tell he really cares about teaching. He does debriefs after tests. At first I didn't want to do them, but he really does want to help you learn from mistakes. You might get extra points in the debrief too! Honorlock but you can use notes on tests.
Take this class!! Professor Mullins truly cares for his students and wants to see them succeed. If you do the assignments, you will pass. If you study, you will pass. Don't let the honor lock exams scare you, you can always go for a debrief meeting after and see where you went wrong (notes allowed too). He is super understanding and very present!
Mr. Dan takes his students success very seriously; he will remind you about your test. Do your homework assignments early so that you have time to redo your quizzes. This teacher will work with you if you are willing to put in the work as well. Youve got this! CHOOSE HIM! I had him for *HONORS MGF1130
A total of 7 units + 1 prerequisite unit with a LOT of hw! (58 total HW Assignments). HW ranges from 10-30 questions but some questions have like 15 parts. 10% off per day you miss a HW from the due date (4-7 HW assignments per week I believe). Offers a GRACE PERIOD: 1 week that removes all late work penalties.8quizzeslockdownbrowser8testshonorlock
Prof. Dan is caring and understanding. His debriefs are always helpful, and he's willing to work with you. As long as you stay on top of the homework and lectures, the class isn't hard. I'm looking forward to taking more math courses with him!
