Brags about his Phd, puts down students, looks like the KFC guy. stay far away!

Not only can't he teach math, you should see his pathetic comp. sci. skills!

How did he get a teaching job? They hire anybody nowadays!

He lies. Said that no one will have an ind. study for a certain class, but then lets a student secretly have one. This is being brought to the Dean's attention. He is a VERY dishonest person!

Dropped class. Awful classroom explanation (what there was of it). Confuses you more as he goes along and doesn't address questions. Tries very hard to make you understand, but doesn't succeed. Nice nice person, horrible teacher and subject matter.

He is so hard to understand, he has a bad stutter. His class is hard, he is not willing to explain and he gets mad when you ask questions.

Not at all sympathetic to those with developemental problems. Doesn't seem to care, or really desire to care. Not a very nice man either. RED ALERT......RED ALERT.....AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

can not talk! he stutters and mumbles nonsense! he writes definitions and examples directly from the book so it doesn't really help any. doesnt answer the question asked, goes off on something completely different

hard to understand at times. He is a vary nice guy tho. If you struggle in math avoid at all costs. He grades on big curves allot. Does not collect homework.

I'll start off positive, hes a nice guy.Thats about it.He is the worst math "professor" I've ever had.He rarely gives example problems and when he does, he faces the board and struggles to figure it out himself.A day in his class usually consists of furiously copying definitions and then you leave to figure out how to apply the useless deffinitions

I would not recommend taking this professor. Extremely hard to follow in class. I have always excelled in math and I really struggled with this course. He tends to stutter and ramble on. By the middle of the semester no one would show up.

He is a very nice older gentleman, but as a professor he is horrible. He stutters to the extreme and it very hard to even comprehend what he is saying. That doesn't mean you can't pass the class, you just have to put more work in. I taught myself everything and I am getting an A+. You get notes for test and he always curves big. Good luck!

Be prepared to be given the hardest problems in the section with no explanation. He doesn't get quizzes back in a timely manner so you don't know how you're doing. He's mostly worried about telling you his life stories instead of teaching. Skips around and doesn't cover material well at all. AVOID

Terrible teacher. Period. Talks to himself and does not teach material covered on exams. Curves the tests incredible amounts just to create the allusion that he teaches the course correctly.

He is horrible. will not help you. told me I should change my major

Avoid this professor if possible. His class has the possibility of being simple if you know the material prior to it. You WILL have to teach yourself a lot. He'll help if you ask, but it won't make sense. He mumbles a lot. Tests questions are much harder than homework questions. If you can, AVOID. he was my least favorite prof this year

This teacher does not teach you anything. I taught myself the entire time.

Taking him currently for complex analysis. I agree with every review i've read so far. He is a nice person but very poor at teaching. The good news is, he curves tests. And he seems to go easy on homework grading. Put it this way, I've had 'easier' teachers in other classes and walked away with lower grades on tests. It should work out.

Avoid this professor at all costs! He does not teach you a single thing. He is either standing with his back toward you or sitting down attempting to turn around and write. His writing is barley legible so good luck reading it. He doesnt use powerpoints, does his own notes on the board which is just problems from the book. YOU HAVE 2 TEACH YOURSELF

He is very hard to understand and doesn't do practice problems or actually teach math. However, he curves everything and allows a lot of notes on all quizzes and tests. No homework just quizzes and tests most every week. If you aren't good at math or you find it difficult to teach yourself new things, I highly don't recommend taking him.

If you can't teach yourself, passing will be very difficult. He is hard to understand and does not teach. He just reads the chapter to the class like you are in grade school without explaining anything. When he did sample problems with the class, he had a hard time solving it himself! I was at the tutoring center every day and I still did not pass.

He is very monotone and boring. He speaks very quietly so you can barely hear him. He teaches from the powerpoint, sits in a chair the entire class, and his handwriting is horrible. If I were you, I would not take him as a professor for biostatistics.

Avoid at all cost! He sits in his chair and just reads off of the power points which are identical to what is in the book. I think I have seen him do a total of 4 examples on the board the entire semester. He also mumbles so its hard to understand him. Nobody shows up for class they just come for the test. Prepare to teach yourself.

Hard to understand

He is very hard to understand and ends up going off on rants on his life. He is very unorganized and gets lost in his slides (which he just reads). A few times he couldn't even solve his own problem that he gave the class. I learned better by reading the book and doing the problems. Also use the tutoring center!!!!

Definitely worth avoiding. Mooningham's lectures are very slow paced and the notes mostly come straight from the textbook. He doesn't explain topics very deeply so you will need to teach yourself a lot of the material. He often goes off topic and talks about things that have nothing to do with the class.

Mooningham is super slow and hard to understand. He doesn't always teach you how to do the problems so the tutoring center is a must. At the beginning of class he will ask to go over problems but just go to tutoring center. He gets lost when doing problems which makes things even more confusing. Pop quizzes are frequent. Tests are HARD.

takes forever to get through lessons and doesn't always follow the course guide and gets behind on his schedule. At the beginning of the semester he said be prepared for pop quizzes but we only had 4. His test are difficult if you aren't good at math, in general don't take him if you want a math teacher who actually teaches you.

This is possibly the worst professor at SVSU. He will sit in his chair and read from the book and do hardly any problems on the board. He makes the tests super hard and have nothing to do with what you learn in class. Avoid at all costs!

Avoid him at all costs! He is very hard to understand, and mumbles a lot. He does curve the test, which is great. You learn more by teaching yourself so attendance does not matter. He sits in his chair and tries to lecture but he is not loud so he can not be heard. What he write on the board is pretty much impossible to read. AVOID THIS CLASS!!!!!!

He doesn't teach at all. He does problems on the board but you can't read his handwriting or hear what he is saying. Most of the time he gets to the end of the problem and he did the problem wrong. Except to be very confused and teach yourself all the material. He does grade on a curve but it doesn't help much as you don't even understand anything.

I strongly recommend trying to get another teacher for this class! He is late everyday, takes him around 10 minutes to set up, then only reads off a pre-made power point. He rarely does practice problems with us and often doesn't grade homework, only tests are in the grade book. He sometimes falls asleep in class and you will be teaching yourself.

As a person, he seems like a great guy. But as a professor, he doesn't even actually teach. He just makes up questions or grabs them at random from the book. He then just does the problem, and when you ask to explain he mumbles and cant explain well at all. He curves tests but it doesn't help if you are not learning anything from him to begin with.

Mumbles all the time. Super hard to understand. Does all the problems wrong. You will teach yourself all of the information so your better off not going to class.

Mooningham seems a good guy, but I was not able to pass his class last semester and the time I knew I had to retake the class, he was the only option... Again. I am currently in his class and it is not any better. He mumbles, has sloppy hand writing, and cannot hear. Unless you enjoy teaching yourself from a textbook, avoid this class at all cost.

Dr. Mooningham is hands down the worst professor I have taken at SVSU. He mumbles, doesn't answer questions, and barely teaches the content he is supposed to. If you're looking to spend thousands of dollars to watch youtube videos to grasp concepts the professor should be teaching, Mooningham is for you! If not, avoid at all costs.

Worst professor or teacher I have taken. Tests were the only things graded, and the problems were much harder than the practice problems. Can't understand what he is saying or read his writing. He can't hear, see, or read writing. He showed up 10 minutes late and unprepared everyday. Do not take this class. If you have to, do not go to lectures.

Just watch YouTube and figure out the material by yourself because you won't get anything useful from lecture. Only reason people go to class is pop quizzes, which affect the grade a decent amount. As with every math class in SVSU, most people will do terrible, and because he curves, putting in some effort will land you an A.

Good luck if you take him, he's always late, can't use technology, you can't hear him or read his writing. Doing math in this class is like shooting in the dark.

Doesn't teach. Puts textbook pages on wall, mumbles incoherently, then switches pages. You'll pass math with him, but you won't LEARN anything outside of what you would learn reading the textbook. He is a fine example of how hard it is for a teacher to get fired when they have tenure. So buy a gradehis class or learn and earn gradesomeone else

The only grades in the book are tests so you have to do well. His lectures arent very helpful so know what chapter your learning and teach yourself from the book.

Was always mumbling in class. Was not prepared to teach. Never explained what he was teaching on the board.

Do NOT take prof Mooningham unless you absolutely have to. I had to transfer out of his class about 3 weeks in for numerous reasons. Every day he was about 10 minutes late, and then we didn't end up starting class for like another half hour and then after the half hour he barely even talked about math. He barely taught which made it very difficult
