For the math-impaired, Doug is a lifesaver. If you need 97, 98, 99, TAKE DOUG. Sometimes hard, always fair. I'm dyslexic/dyscalculic, and I got so much out of 97 and from Doug. Take advantage of his office hours and the pre-test reviews.

We have all seen the movies about those rare heroic and noble teachers. Mr. Mooers is the REAL thing. He is simply the most outstanding teacher I've encountered in my lifetime. Yes, his lectures are fluid, clear, and (if you're lucky), you'll also get some extra cheese. In short, I gained something beyond just the math from Mr. Mooer's classes.

I'm seeing a general pattern here. Math 141 and below. That's below 141 he is a great teacher. 142 and above not so much. I don't know if it's because the material is more difficult or what? I think he's good. Needs to slow down some times but still good. Show up, take notes, do the homework and ask questions. You'll at least pass the class. Hard!!

Doug Mooers is a Great Teacher. Out of all the math classes I've ever taken I would say Mooers is the best in explaining and teaching math. NOW that being said, his classes are alway HARD. He doesn't give 2nd chances like other teachers. No Notes on Exams, No Exam-Re-Dos, No dropping worst exam. Your grade is based on 3 Exams and a two-day final.

Absolute best math techer I've ever had. Most hilarious techer i've had also. Just come to class and you'll understand everything. Tests may appear to be hard but he tells you exactly what kind of problems will be on it on the review. No wonder all his classes are over filled. Better hurry to get in.

Great Math Instructor! I've had him for Math97,98 & 99! He explains things in an understandable way. He makes sure everyone is good before moving on. His exams are straight from the study guides.
