He is nice and explains all the chapter well

Although some say that Mr. Rubenstein is tough and rough and not easy and all that jazz, I had a great time in his class and learned a lot about math. Even though my grade wasn't so splendorific, I think he taught me well, and it's helped me since I've taken that class over 2 years ago. You just have to be willing to learn. He has nice shoes.

Math isn't really my thing, but Prof. Rubinstein made it not so bad. He's really helpful if you have any questions, and will make sure you understand it before he moves on. There's kind of a lot of homework, and the exams weren't all that easy, but like I said, I'm not a math person so you might think its cake.

Good Professor, Attendance Affects Your Grade, Will Go Over Material Many Times Which is helpful, Drops your lowest grade, I would recommend him

I am not a math person and if I had taken this class with anyone else I wouldn't have had a prayer. He actually cares whether you learn the material. He will not leave anyone behind. He creates an environment where it's Ok to speak up and say you don't get it. He will stay on it 'till everyone gets it. He also reviews at the start of every class

Enjoyed coming to class for the math jokes. Fun teacher! Hard tests, but I am not a math person either. Got a 77% in the class, soooo close to a B. But his grading scale for a C is 65-80.

-passionate about math-organized-grades on a curve-extremely nice-patient-helped me learn. I recommend this teacher 100%. excellent.

Great teacher. Went over homework, and explained everything very well. Fair grader. I learned a lot from the class, and was able to complete a year of geometry in 6 weeks during my summer break from high school.

Great Teacher. Good man. He is very patient, and always available to help you. Challenges you to achieve what you did not think you could. If you are looking for an easy grade, maybe this is not the teacher for you. If you want to learn math TAKE THIS CLASS!

Great teacher! I took his geometry class in the summer during a break in high school, and in just 6 weeks, we covered the entire year of geometry. He explained everything well, and worked problems every day to help you learn the material well. Tests were fair. My best math teacher so far!

The best math teacher ever!!! TAKE HIM!!! He makes class interesting with his sense of humor. Exactly what you need from a math professor-soooo patient!! Ask him anything. He really wants you to succeed. I hate math, but this is the first math class I've ever found myself looking forward to.

He really is a genius. Smartest teacher I've ever had. And definitely cute/funny in the geekiest way ever. (looks like he dressed in the dark half the time). I couldn't recommend this teacher highly enough. He grades in a really fair way, so if a lot of people do badly on a test, he'll curve it a lot so that everyone does well.

He's a very good teacher. You get full credit on the homework as long as you DO it; he doesn't check that each answer is correct, but he's very nit-picky about tests. BUT non-the-less I liked him, he's SO geeky that it's charming, and I ended up with an A even though I'm not very good at math.

He is super nice and a great teacher. He wouldn't move on until everyone understood which is good but sometimes I felt it was just time to move on! Lots of HW but he doesn't check the problems just checks that you did it. I found the tests really easy, he goes over everything before hand and curves them if needed. Plus he is so cute and funny :)

He's a great guy and you can tell he really wants everyone to understand. He is very clear about what he wants out of you. You have to take notes and come to every class, but that's true for most. Everything on the test is in the notes. And he really encourages people to go beyond, by banning calculators and everything. Everyone should take him!

This guy has a great humor that helps lighten the mood. The class is fast paced, requires attendance and a lot of HW. I would recommend this class as a good foundation if you want to really know your stuff. The teacher is very patient and will help if you ask. Something about all that braininess combined with humor that makes him geek hot!

Took him in the summer, very good prof. Tests were hard, but he would compensate grades based on results. The take home final practice was excellent. Gave extra credit quizzes at the end of class for the people who stayed.Really funny!

he's a great teacher and clear explainer. he offers little to no extra credit. he's a stickler to the math rules. very nicce guy. Dorky :)

Very hard tests, curved fairly. Typically a mid C will turn into a mid B in the actual gradebook. If you do all of your homework, you will do fine. Very quirky and entertaining sense of humor.

Take him if you want to learn algebra. Don't take him if your just looking for a easy grade. You have to put some work into his class, but he is a very consistent and fair grader. Has a habit of curving and rounding up grades. You earn your A in this class though.

While he's not always the most interesting during lecture, he's thorough and clear and will teach you what you need to know. I had him for summer and he answered any questions and seemed like he cared about the class's understanding of stats. I would recommend him.

This class was tough to say the least, but it's not impossible to pass. He assigns a LOT of homework, purposefully to have his students practice the material. I did all of the homework, did not miss a class and still struggled, but he understood. His lectures are fast paced, too fast for me to follow... so I just read the text during his lectures.

Great Teacher, very clear and concise lectures. He will ask in the beginning of class if anyone needs to go over the homework and has no issues explaining the subject matter again. Tests are definitely on the harder side but he gives a Pre-test that covers everything one needs to know a weekend in advance. A bit of a dork, but its part of his charm

One of the best professors I've had so far. Will definitely take another class from him if my schedule allows. Attendance is essential and don't leave early. Drops lowest test score. Very helpful in class, never talks down to anyone and is able to teach the material well. Wants you to learn. Brilliant guy - absolutely knows his stuff.

BRILLIANT guy. I am not good at math but managed to get a C. He curved all our tests, and dropped the lowest one. Extremely helpful!! I was surprised at how much time he spent each class to answer our HW questions (HW every night, but really NOT bad at all). Study guide for every test, too! Entertaining? No. But great teacher.

Professor Rubinstein is a high quality calculus teacher with an immense knowledge of the subject. Preparations for each lesson are thorough and professional. This professor is fair, funny, and incredibly intelligent. He can be slightly presumptuous about your knowledge base, so make sure your pre-calc and trig are on point.

Took his class for the second time taking Calculus (first was a different professor) and he explained it in a way that made sense and didn't mind explaining until everyone understood.

No-nonsense teacher; will go by the rules w/o exception. Don't expect early release or slacking off. You'll cover whole book in the semester. Moves pretty fast, which can be hard @ times to keep up w/ notes. Hard exams. Doesn't coddle students but if you ask for help, he'll be there for you to no end. Very fair, doesn't judge, fast grader. A+ Prof!

This professor is AWESOME! He makes nerdy pop culture references on occasion, but most importantly he knows his stuff. I had him for Algebra way back in the day and miss him as I go further into Calculus. If you have the chance to take him, do it! He's not easy, but he will make sure you understand everything. He's the reason I am an engineer.

I've hated math my entire life. After this semester with Mr. Rubinstein, I love it. His lectures are extremely thorough, and he is happy to explain things until everyone understands. With that said, he is a tough teacher. He holds his students to a high standard, but prepares them adequately for it. Really hoping he teaches my next math classes!

Super crystal clear, will explain until everyone understands, answers any questions, quizzes are open book/notes/neighbors, gives time in class for some homework, grades fairly, best math teacher I've taken at Moorpark.

Thanks to Daniel Rubinstein, I now know that the best flapjacks are in Canada. A real memer. He grades harshly, don't let his approachable personality confuse you. Besides that, I think I would give him a meme out of meme. Very dank proffessor.

The best math teacher I've ever had in my school career. Articulate, extremely smart, and very funny. He explains everything so clearly and will work with anyone to help them understand. Moves at a decent pace and plan on taking him for future math courses.

Wow! I never considered myself a math person, but having a teacher like Rubinstein has completely changed that. He is completely open to questions, very clearly reviews homework, and never pokes fun when a student needs help. Yes, there is a lot of homework, but it's needed. I went from undecided major to a math major partly from loving this class!

Professor Rubinstein is the most helpful and understanding professor I've ever come across, he explains everything in great detail using the appropriate mathematical terms, he is very straightforward and is always ready to help even though the question are from a different math class. Math required extreme patience and practice, do that and you'll fly through the class with flying colors.

Daniel is possibly one of my favorite math teachers. I took this course as a refresher and by the time I left I felt very comfortable with the material we had discussed. He is always very helpful and kind when being asked questions.

Professor Rubinstein is an amazing lecturer and teacher. He certainly won't give you the grade but he will give you all the resources to get the grade you want. He explains complicated topics well and is willing to help at office hours. WORK ON PROOFS THE WHOLE SEMESTER. The computation, while very important, is generally far easier.

I love Rubinstein, I may be an outlier but his class was enjoyable as it was difficult. Linear Algebra to me was one of the more satisfying math subjects. If you share a passion for the class and math, Rubinstein might be for you. However if it just another class you have to take, beware. You will not like the class as you can see from below me.

Very helpful teacher! He helps if you need. If you put the effort, he will out the effort to help you

Hands down the most intelligent professor at Moorpark, and I could take him for d.e an calc 3. He is truly brilliant and is more than willing to help you understand the concept. He does like to get really conceptual but in high level maths that should be expected.

He is an actual genius, never teaches out of the book, comes up with proofs and examples on the spot and writes them directly on the board. He is very accessible in his office, but be ready to WORK. Class is 10/10 difficult, but he will do everything he can (and he can do a lot) to help you learn if you're willing to take the time and ask for help.

Professor Rubinstein is an absolutely amazing teacher. If you are have a career in mathematics, engineering, or related fields, you need to take Daniel Rubinstein's class. He will not only teach you how to master Calculus II, but how to think in a completely new way. However, you should be ready to put in the work. And use office hours!

His lectures are great because he teaches in a uniquely specific way that can often be much easier than methods suggested in the textbook. However, he goes very quickly and you must follow and take notes to stay caught up to the class. Class grade is determined by 4 incredulously difficult tests and a final. Good luck, I highly recommend his class.

Daniel Rubinstein is not the world's most compassionate man. That being said, I can not say that he did not make his expectations clear. The scope of the Intro Linear Algebra class makes it very fast paced. HIGHLY recommend the T/F questions at the end of the chapters, and reading before class. Good Luck!

Here's the thing, don't take this professor if you aren't an engineering/math major. This goes above and beyond what you actually need to know if you aren't going into the math and science fields. However, as an engineering major, I can't stress enough how incredibly helpful this class was to solidify and improve my math skills. Amazing guy.

Had him for M03. Reviews homework with class at the beginning of class but doesn't check. Amazing professor. Would take again. Chill vibe. Chili Pepper. No online. Used the white board. Take notes. He is there to help you. Ask for help if you get lost. Doesn't check attendance but it's best to go to every class so you don't fall behind.

Such a great lecturer. I had him for lines algebra and his lectures help you understand an otherwise difficult subject. His class is not easy, but that is expected. If you've been getting good grades without doing work, that ends here. He is a wonderful professor and only good students will succeed.

Professor Rubinstein is an amazing professor who should be teaching at a place like Princeton, but impressively he is teaching at Moorpark College. I am extremely grateful to have had him for Linear Algebra; thanks to him I have not struggled at all in Quantum Mechanics nor Special Relativity...

To not just learn computation but also conceptual understanding, Rubinstein is excellent. Plan to study an additional 5 hours per week studying for his class compared to other profs. I recommend him to those who are in STEM. Please: DO THE T/F QUESTIONS AT THE END OF THE PROBLEM SETS Read the book Study his in class examples Enjoy his jokes :)

You either come into his classes expecting a tough time or you will drop halfway through. You learn a lot as he is a great lecturer who is very dedicated on this subject. People are afraid of his courses because he is very difficult and his tests are hard. However, there is a curve and I have a hunch he secretly ups your grade after the final.

This professor is an absolute genius, he does proofs of mathematics that almost seem like another language is being taught. Great professor, just make sure you dedicate at least your whole weekend to this class, because you'll need it. Does NOT give out homework, you are responsible. Definitely a challenge I was not ready for. Genius, absolutely.

Great teacher, super smart guy and is willing to help you outside of class in office hours. Lectures are only a little dry because everyone stays on mute and never answer's the professor's questions. It's like he's talking into an abyss. Besides that, the lectures are very organized & useful. If you could wait to take this class on campus I would.

Prof. Rubinstein's class was very difficult. To succeed, you will need to learn a lot of the material on your own and do the homework in the book. He will not hold your hand. Do not take this course if you want an easy A. However if you manage to make it through the course, you will have learned a lot and will be a much better math student.

You will learn a lot from this professor's lectures. This is an excellent class for STEM and economics students. I would take him next semester if he was teaching Calc 3. Homework is not collected, but you will need to do a lot of exercises from the book if you want more than a passing grade. 5% 10 quizzes, 5% discussions, 60% 5 tests, 30% final.

Professor Rubinstein is an extremely effective teacher and lecturer. Even though he is forced to go through material fast throughout the semester, he conveys it in an extremely effective manner. His tests are extremely difficult and require an extreme amount of studying, but they are manageable. His class is difficult but will teach you a lot.

Great professor! Matches lowest score to the final.

A very wholesome professor: kind and calm. Passively funny and very helpful. Teaches at a very followable pace and stops frequently to double check for understanding. Very good at helping students understand problems as well as their mistakes. Grade only reliant on tests but tests are relatively easy.

Positives: Very good at teaching, Funny, Really good person in general Negatives: Your grade is solely based on your test scores, no homework grades or anything His tests are pretty challenging But if you do the homework and study outside of class, you'll probably be fine

Grade is on me, not him. Have crippling anxiety/can't go to office hours? Suffer. Miniscule EC, grades on a few exams, and canvas is a barren wasteland. But, lectures are cool+he's funny/kind. I wish class was 2 sems; the content in a sem's rough. Basically: TALK TO HIM EARLY ON! Want a fascinating course? Your guy! Just cruising through? Don't

He is nice, incredibly smart, and really funny. He seems intimidating because he is so smart but I never felt judged by him even when asking the simplest questions. The hw was useless after the first exam and understanding the notes and examples was more helpful. I wouldn't recommend Rubinstein unless you are a math major or love learning math.

Lectures are engaging, but the class is brutally difficult. Attend every session, read the textbook, and utilize Unstuck AI for extra practice - it really helped me stay afloat. Not the easiest A, but worth it if you want a challenge.

I loved this class! i've taken two other math courses but they were too fast paced and difficult. prof rubinstein does a great job at explaining everything and I never feel too stupid to ask a question. you just have to put in the work. if he sees you're trying, he's very kind and generous with your test scores. still a hard class though!

Professor Rubinstein is the most mathematically oriented person I have ever met and his passion manifests in his care towards his students. He is more than willing to explain any questions that arise throughout the lectures and very accessible through office hours. His classes are really difficult but have a lot of substance and quality.

I had the pleasure of taking Differential Equations with Professor Rubinstein for the 2025 fall semester and I have to say that he is nothing short of amazing. He deeply cares about students and holds them to a standard which I find lacking in a lot of classes I have taken. If you want to be good at math, this is the professor to take.
