Great teacher will spend as much time as it takes for the class to understand the topics. Tests are open notes, book, & solution manual and exactly like the homework, which is optional. Homework counts for extra credit!

Great Professor ...I would recommend him to very one
No Comments
Awesome teacher. He made everything very clear, and is extremely helpful if needed. I didn't even buy the book, just used reference @ the library- just studying his notes, I got B's on the tests. He breaks things down to simple terms, and even will review important concepts from prev. classes. He really makes sure you learn it well. *****
Great teacher! Explains everything really well. Would take again if possible
Really Great Professor. He try all his best and kindest to help out all his students to be success in class. He made it easy to follow so you would not miss anything as long you attend class. Take him if you can :)
This guy is the best! Just took him for 51 during winter. I've always failed/barely passed math in the past, but not with this Humaciu or Mr H. He teaches his student what they really need to know and what's really important for future math classes. He makes math really easy to understand. Highly recommended,I hope he's teaching 71 in the summer!!!
Explains things very well. Willing to repeat what you don't understand and is willing to stay after class to help anyone who needs it. I'll take his Algebra class in the fall.
GREAT TEACHER! Love him to death. Explains every concept very well & doesnt go into things we really dont need to know. Tests are exactly like what was went over during class. Very open to all questions. reviews before all tests/quizes & wants to help students understand fully. Definately take him!!
Excellent teacher! His appearance is not that great, but you will learn your math.
he is the best. take him take him take him
very helpful teacher, will even take time to teach prior class lecture to make sure you understand material, will replace your lowest test score with hmwrk which is due every test day, tests are very simple if you understand material and even if you dont, try and write something down as he will give you points for trying.notes are good for study
I recommend this teacher he explain each step like a manual quizzes are not hard. Do the work and you will pass. I passed with a B.
I love Mr. Humanciu! He really makes u understand math. I hate math and in his class I learned that a lot problems in math can be easy to understand especially when the teacher helps u. I would take him again.
Had for Math 71. EXCELLENT teacher. Explains things very clearly, and is very helpful. Like most, I loathe math, and just took the class because it's required, and hoped for the best. I was pleasantly surprised with a C, which is more than I expected. He takes homework and drops lowest test scores with homework points. I highly recommend "Mr. H."
Great professor, very nice will answer any quest. about the hwk before lecturing. Hands out study sheets for the quizzes and test. Just do the homework he does deduct pts. from it if not completed! Expect to be prepared for the quiz/test & have your hwk completed every 2 weeks of the semester. Received a C. Study study study!
Great teacher! I would recommend taking him. Let's you have a full page of notes for the final! This took a lot of pressure off and time to study for other finals. Go to every lecture, do the homework, use the MARC and you'll be fine. I got an A and was one of the math anxious types.
Amazing mathematics professors. Absolutely the most clear and concise notes presented on the board. Material is covered at a pace that is both reasonable and thorough. If you are looking for an enthusiastic no-nonsense mathematics professor look no further.
Easy class, will never learn your name or who is actually in class. had only 30 mins of office hours per week. Gave up on him 25% into the semester and just taught myself the material. really easy class. best part is he lets you used a notecard for exams and 1 page of note for the final
Hes a great professor!!! (:
If you absolutely HATE math than this is the professor for you. He designs the course so you will pass. Lowest test score is dropped & replaced with homework. He gives out study guides & lets you use a notecard on the test. Group assignments are easy & very doable. If you're taking STATS & have always struggled with math take Mr. H!
This professor rocks. His class notes and handouts make math so easy. I hated math and did not understand until I had his class. If you want someone who will really teach you take him
Took the 6 week winter class. Pretty easy class. He makes his lectures easy for students to understand, so if you understand his notes and do the homework, you should get an A no matter what. He even lets you use a notecard on the test and a page of notes for the final (front and back).
This is the best professor! He is so clear and his lectures are more than helpful. I took the six week course and it was brutal, hence the reason for my low grade of C. However, if it weren't for him, I would have FAILED miserably! Take this professor! You won't be sorry!
Literally the best professor for Math. He is very interactive in class and gives out study guides before tests. You get to have a 2 sided personal note for your final. Extremely nice with a good sense of humour. Strongly recommended!
Very good professor. He explained everything thoroughly and clearly. Gives out study guides and allows notes on all test and final. TAKE HIM.
I took the six week course. I am not a fan of math, but could always hold my own. This class was SO difficult in the time frame allotted, however, Prof Humaciu made it bearable and was VERY understanding about how difficult it is. Enjoyed him so very much. He does everything to help you pass, especially if you get completely lost like me!
Mr. H was awesome! I liked how he says "I am not a big name dropper" and he means it! No complex terminology or fancy math terms here! Just straight raw math! Nice guy, but you need to spend time with the book and homework! Don't take him if you don't have the time or energy to succeed in his class!
Teaches VERY clearly! if you suck or dont like math this is the teacher for you, takes his time, overviews material, study guide, homework help, and a notecard for the test, if youre good at math or learn quickly this class might drag for you. overall great teacher, if youre not doing well its you
I think if I would have dine all my hw I could have gotten an a but I still got a B which im happy with. Also the textbook is necessary there is hw for every day although he collects it only before a test, but I wouldn't wait, I made that mistake.
One of the best math teachers I had, math is not an easy topic for me. Fyi I'm getting ready to write to the dean of the department asking them why isn't he a full time professor! He cares that you get the material. I highly recommend him.
Best Math Professor I've ever had. Take him if you can!
Mr. H is amazing. Took him for Math 50 and 51A, Love him. Teaches in detail, slows down for students to understand. If a student does not understand a problem, he takes his time to make sure the student is comfortable. Gives and goes over test reviews in class. I hope to have him in my future math classes. His classes are a must take!
Alright Alright Alright Friends listen Up! Humanciu sound like Matthew mcConaughey! his lectures are amazing and they are very detailed. he includes everything in the lesson and he does not leave anything out. is my second time doing stats and he's better than my last professor.
MR. H is an amazing professor! He wants to make sure all of his students understand the concepts. He will always help you much more than many other math professors. I highly recommend to take him. I would not be at Cal state LA if it wasn't for me understanding statistics which Mr.H helped me understand!
I was failing his class after the first two statistics tests, then told me on the last two tests if I didn't understand the question he would do a one on one with me. Really good professor and I would recommend him. He's really nice. :)
i took math 51 three times and failed all three times. took 51A two times and passed. 51B was very hard, However Professor H was there for me. He helped me out when i was struggling. His Lectures are in class are very good and writes side notes to help you remember steps on how to solve a problem. He is very GOOD and would take him again.
Hands down the BEST math professor! He's so nice and simple. He's just awesome. TAKE HIM you won't regret it
Professor H explains step by step on how to solve a problem. He gives out examples of what is going to be on a test. If you can take him for any math class DO IT! You will not regret taking him. Make sure if you had problems with HW ask him in class the next day because you will be lost and not have a clue of what is going on in the next section.
Mr. H is an excellent professor and kind of funny. He color codes his notes on the board and gives excellent explanations for the material. There are no tricks to his exams, follow his instructions and you'll do fine. You can tell he enjoys teaching and genuinely cares about the success of his students. I would recommend him without any hesitation.
Take him!! I was so afraid to take stats but he is honestly the best. You get to use a notecard on every test and he explains everything clearly. You can't go wrong taking him.
Don't know why people say there are no good math professors at Mt. SAC, he's the BEST! The class is pretty much note taking, so you can't really miss a day. He's really helpful & clarifies everything you don't understand. Group projects are easy as heck! He even gives you the answers to some of them. He's so nice and can crack a joke here & there.
I took Stats with Mr. H over a 6 week intersession and it was extremely intensive, and, as expected, it was extremely intensive and fast-paced. 4 exams and a Final, 4 "Team Assignments," which are extremely easy, and all homework assignments were extra credit. Mr. H is pretty funny and he's a really nice man. I would happily take him again.
he lets you use a 4x6 notecard on all 4 exams and a full page cheat sheet on the final. the study guide he gives you will be on the test so include that on the note card. the questions that you see on your four exams will be seen back again since it's a cumulative final so include all four of those study guides on your notecard. I hope that helps
Mr. H is a great Man! he's a gem and i was so grateful i had him for Stats. i learned so much from him and taught me how to be better at Stats. make sure you make use of his office hours or stay after class (which he's willing to do) if you want to learn even more or don't understand the material
mr. h tells u everything u need to know for the test and all the hw isn't due till the day of the test. i believe he treated me unfairly. i missed 2 classes due to a medical issue that put me in the hospital so i missed all the lessons for the test and he would not give me extra time to study or let me take the exam on a different day
beware if u hate group projects keep that in mind if u take him. his lectures consist of him yelling the whole time. sounds like a politician
If Math is not your best subject, this is the professor to take. He's clear on everything he lectures. You don't understand something he's more than happy to help you out. He wants Math to be as easy as possible to learn . Be prepared to take notes .
Mr. H is a great for so many reasons. If you struggle at math, fear not, because his lectures are very helpful and he gives out study sheets for each chapter. He is way better than the professors that I've had who are on faculty, I kid you not. He also drops the lowest test score, which is very generous. The material is tough and you will work.
Doesnt expect you to know all the answers. In fact, he explains everything step by step! Awesome professor.
awesome professor
Homework was due on test dates, total of 3 tests and the final. His tests were not hard at all just pay attention and do all your assignments.
He truly is an amazing professor, he has a syllabus and it has all of the tests and the material that will be covered throughout the semester. There are five tests and a final, we were able to use a cheat sheet and he gives a study guide for every test there is. He really goes into detail to make sure everyone understands what is being taught.
He is the best professor I 've ever had. He will not disappoint you. He is very detailed and people who are a visual learner, you should take his class. He thoroughly explains his work. He will review everything from square one just in case students forgot how to do the problem. AMAZING TEACHER
He's cool. He lectures a lot, but he is very detailed so that students are able to fully understand. He gives a fair amount of hw, I mean this is college, what do you expect?He gives extra credit opportunities. Some of the hw problems get confusing, but taking his class I learned to find that his test were always easier than the hard hw problems.
This is one of the BEST PROFESSORS I have had at Mt Sac!!! He wants all his students to pass! He gives you points even if you ATTEMPT a problem on a test! He offers extra credit in all his exams! He's always willing to further explain something if you don't get it. He explains things thoroughly & skips stuff if he doesn't feel it's necessary to kno
I'm one of those people who hate Math, and I was dreading Stats. He makes it kinda easy. He drops your lowest test scores with either you HW or group work scores, and he offered extra credit on exams. I allows notecards on the exams, and he is always available for help. If you dread math like me, take this professor, you won't regret it.
I dropped his class because I was going through a tough time with personal life, but I took him for math 50 to 71 and I received all A's. Very easy and takes the time to go through everything from scratch. I will take him again when I am ready to take math 110. HWK is easy and not a lot. Gives odd or even numbers to do. very easy class
Do not make the mistake of taking Stats with anyone else. He will get you through what is an extremely difficult course if you show up and use everything on the board as your notes. Do the homework, do the group projects, be on time for everything. Mr. H is the best choice to pass Stats 110 on the first try.
Mr. H is a national treasure at MT. SAC! Breaks down material & eases you into difficult subjects! Just be kind and respect him! Attend the lectures! 4 Tests plus final & 4 Team assignments (they are fun!), HW optional (but try it!). I had lots of fun using the TI calculator and I will continue to use it! Thanks, Mr. H! It was a pleasure! -R Najera
Professor Humaciu is a really good professor! He is super nice and caring. He is there to answer any questions you might have on the lectures. He is super easy to understand and I am so glad i got to take his class. Just make sure you go to class and pay attention and take the notes.
Loved having him this past semester. If you have the opportunity to take his MATH11 support class with his MATH110, do it. He teaches you what you need to know about Stats and makes all the information really clear. All the study guides clearly outlined any information on the test, which was awesome. Definitely recommend him :)!
Professor got me hooked on stats! Compared to algebra, stats was interesting and he gives you simple problems and great explanations! He wants you to pass! Allows you to use your phone to take pictures of lectures, and use your phone with wabbit emulator to use a free graphing calculator! Very kind, and tries to save you money! A+
Professor Humaciu is the best Math teacher ever! He is always prepared to help students and is so understanding . He always gives clear instruction and is willing to clarify everything. Mr. H allows students to correct mistakes on tests to help them better understand material they struggled with. I would also recommemend taking the Math 11 support.
4 exams 100pts each (not cumulative) also have EC. A final 200pts cumulative (no EC). 25 Hw assignments 4pts each. 4 Team Assignments (100 pts total). Total points 700pts Study Guides are practically the exams and he accepts hw Late for 2 pts each. Withdrew from last math class due to exam difficulty but in this class, my current grade is an A.
Horrible. After the course was converted to online, he's been giving out a crazy amount of work. He is really strict on it, and the tests are timed, so you barely have any time to think. AVOID!
He does not teach. All he does is go on tangents about random things. His assignments and tests are also really hard. I have no idea why he makes his classes so hard for no reason.
This professor has no idea how to teach an online class. He assigns an insane amount of work, and he doesn't ever answer questions. His exams are also extremely difficult, and he is a really tough grader. This class is really hard to pass simply because of the way he teaches.
I'm taking him for Spring 2020 during COVID-19. Im terrible with math, always have been. He is the best math professor I have EVER had. Lecture videos can be viewed more than once and are simple to understand. I'm taking 3 other online classes and his is my favorite with minimum homework, group activities and clear lectures. I currently have an A.
Took this class online due to COVID and it was honestly very managable. He describes everything step by step, you could pause the lectures whenever to take your notes, does give a lot of homework which is normal so don't wait until the last minute, and reviews practice test that are very similar to the real test. Definitely recomment him.
I took this class online due to COVID-19, but he is a great professor. He gives great lectures. He lets you know what is going to be on the exam. He will give you a Sample Exam; exactly like the real exam so there isnt any surprises. Math is my least fav subject, but I passed this class with a 100%. TAKE HIM! Easy A. Do the HW and the Sample Exam
Prof Humaciu is so caring to his students. I suck at math but he made this class so easy. I took this class online and it was really straight forward. If you talk to him one on one, you can see he really wants his students to succeed with an A. Of course you need to study. His practice exams (in the notes) and actual exams are so close to identical
The best statistics professor. I wish I could take all my math classes with him. The way he teaches is so clear and straightforward. Clear grading criteria, grade is based on 4 exams and cumulative final. There are also 4 assignments worth 25 points each. Everything is manageable. Just watch the lectures and do the study guide and you can get an A.
If you dont want to be stressed all semester take him! He makes everything easy to understand. His exams are exactly the same as his review exams, except he changes the numbers. Your grade is based on 4 exams + final and 4 class assignments. He even gives you a stats calculator app so you dont have to spend money on one. Hes the best!!
I don't know what's up with the negative reviews, but I took professor H more than once, and I can say that he's the only one that simplifies math and made it interesting! I've taken him way back since algebra, and graduated because of him! In all honesty, I don't know where I would be if I didn't take him! I wish he taught higher math levels! A+++
Professor H is an excellent instructor. I've dropped Math classes so many times bcause I could never understand it. In this class I actually enjoyed learning and watching the recorded lectures. I highly recommend watching the test reviews, super helpful. I didn't really use the book, so I would say its not necessary. Easy class, if you do the work.
Professor Humaciu is amazing! I never thought I would do good in math as it's usually my worst subject but he really explains everything clearly. He makes sure it's understandable and has office hours if you need more help. There was no homework only exams but he even has a test review which really helped me pass! Definitely recommend!
Prof H was great online. Outlined the entire class on the syllabus so there were no surprises. Homework was recommended but optional. Gave helpful homework and study guides almost identical to test. Super organized and easy to follow. Cant believe a online math class was this easy. Graded on 4 exams, 4 team assignments, and the final.
I've taken Mr. H for years, and he's probably one of the top professors at Mt. Sac that makes the subject more digestible. He's very kind, clear, and wants you to pass! I feel that students that bash him with negative reviews don't appreciate math instructors very much! He's great at teaching! I still have notes from his lectures when I took him!
The class was pretty easy. You can pass the online class by using the practice test he provides as its very similar to what the actual test is like.
I waited so long to get into his class. Hes always taken and after finally getting in and doing Fall 2021 with him I can see why. Hes such a good professor. He explains everything so easily to understand. All homework is extra credit. His exams. If you practice the study exam he gives and watch his videos. You will definitely pass. Good prof.
I took his class for the winter2022 sem. I can tell u math wasn't my favorite or my strong suit but taking his class helped me a lot and thankfully I had passed!! he's very nice and respectful helping and explaining things!! don't miss out, take his class
Highly recommend for taking MATH110H. 4 exams, all very similar to the study guides, and your lowest one will be replaced with an 100 if you complete the 4 (very easy)class activities. He is very clear with teaching the concepts and provides notes highlighting what needs to be known. Attendance is optional and all homework is extra credit!
Took him in summer. Study guide pretty much same as exam. Encourages calculator use and shows you how to use it. He explains everything clearly and is actually kind of funny in class. Real cool guy. Really recommend easy A.
He is clear on what you will be graded on. Amazing lecture notes provided to you. Need a TI 83/84 calculator for his exams. You can borrow them from MARC. HW is extra credit. He is a solid choice and you will do amazing. Do his sample tests to study!
1000/10 recommend Professor Matthew Humaciu. Caring, takes his time, and really does make sure his student understand the material. He is willing to explain the material a little more if needed. Tests are EXACTLY like test reviews. Also does test corrections. I managed without a textbook, the choice is yours.
Professor Humaciu was very kind and had lectures and notes online if you couldn't attend his in person classes. Your grade mainly relies on the tests, but you get a notecard cheatsheet for each test. The tests are pretty easy as long as you do the the given test-preps and write your notes accordingly.
Professor H class was the only class i enjoyed my whole fall semester. His study guides are identical to the exams, if you need any help hell help you, and his teaching is so straight forward literally the best professor ive ever had!
Professor Humaciu is a great professor! I have always struggled with math and word problems especially, but his lectures are so well thought out and very precise. The lectures made it easy to follow along on the provided notes and actually help understand the material. I definitely recommend his class if you haven't taken it.
Essential Notes!!! Everything you need to know is provided for exams/Final are on the notes he provides. Must watch lecture videos to fully understand material. Textbook is only used for additional practice, not necessary. Rent 12th or 13th ed, not 14th as stated in bookstore. He uses 12th (old ed) the most. Easy A if you do the work.
The professor gives his students a lot of support. He provides many ways to help. The lectures he does in person are the same as he does on his videos so if you're absent, no worries.
I took his course ONLINE during the winter term. I highly recommend Professor Humaciu because he explains the concepts in easy-to-understand videos. He encourages students to ask questions to him or each other in the posts and people have which also helped me too. I just don't recommend slacking as you're only graded on very few things.
Homework was not required, you are graded only for the tests. He gives you videos with tests reviews that are pretty much the tests that you'll be doing. As long as you watch his lectures and tests reviews you'll do great. He is willing to explain further if you go to his office hours. I would suggest you to take your own notes. His are a bit messy
amazing proffessor
Professor Humaciu has probably been the best math teacher I've had. His lectures are clear and he even takes the time to show you the steps that are needed to understand things better. I took the online asynchronous course for summer and it was very manageable. Follow the notes that he provides while watching the lectures and you are sure to pass!
Professor Humaciu was amazing! 4 exams and one final, lowest exam score gets dropped by completing the 4 easy team assignments. Homework is not required, no book necessary. Everything you'll need will be in his lectures. Does test reviews, which are similar to exams but with different numbers. Breaks everything down step by step. Provides notes too
By far one of the best professors i've had here at MTSAC. I took his online course for summer 2023 weeks & it consists of 4 discussions, 4 exams & 1 final. All lecture & material will be on the test but tells you exactly what is on it. If you do the work you will get the grade you want. He cares about his students, highly recommend to take him!
TAKE HIS CLASS! I took Professor Humaciu's stats class for summer and it was extremely organized and easy. Simply watch his lecture videos and take notes. His class consists of 4 quizzes, 4 assignments and a final. Basically 1 quiz every week or so, along with an easy hw assignment. Did not use the textbook once and got an A.
Boy oh boy, where do I begin? Professor Humaciu is like the superhero of the classroom! His lectures are a delightful mix of humor, insightful wisdom, and the occasional unexpected dance move. Seriously, I half-expected him to break into song at any moment! If you put in the effort, you will absolutely thrive in this class.
Very easy to understand online course with support and lots of opportunities.
Professor Humaciu is one of the best professors I've had! His class is well-organized, and everything you need is in the lecture videos. No textbook is required, which is a plus. He breaks down concepts step by step, making it easy to follow. There's 4 exams, 4 team assignments, and one final exam. Definitely take his class if you can!
I took him for Winter intercession. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR FOR UR STATS ONLINE CLASS!! I was super scared bc im rlly bad at math. However, his class formatting made the work easy and understandable: lecture videos are 1 hour and provides step by step solutions. Take notes! Homework is also NOT mandatory. One exam and quiz every week, open note.
I am a Mt. Sac alumni, when I took Matthew Humaciu for stats in 2025, I was amazing on how supportive and open to answering questions he was. He always had open office hours and was always very encouraging. So grateful to have had the oppunity to take both his math 51 class and stats.
Prof. Humaciu's class is the best experience for a math class. His lectures are easy to follow along and he explains the concepts in simple terms. If you do all the work, you can easily get a good grade. If you do the extra credit you have an excellent chance at improving one whole grade. He's very chill but no nonsense.
I'm so grateful that I took his class he teaches really well and makes it easier to understand. There's about 5 exams if you get a good grade in the last exam he'll drop a low test exam grade and offers lots of extra credit as homework's which is optional.
