Easiest instructor I've never seen! Will go trhough problems before exams and that it's impossible to fail. Not much effort needed to get an A. Fantastic! Don't miss it!
He's a very intersting teacher, makes his class so that everyone will pass. If you end up needing extra help, go get it! Otherwise, u'll be stuck in the gutter. You can use all of the quizes/notes/exams on on your final, which is I.D. to the review.
Great teacher. Easy to understand and will help you when you need it.
He just loves his job. He loves teaching, and he loves math. The two goes together. He's such a nice guy and explains things well.
his teaching is too good and he's also very easy...my dream teacher
Do NOT take this teacher!!! He used to be really ez when i took him before in math 1A, but he has changed. He is a really unhelpful person now and you should take someone else!
disregard that smacktalkin about him. he's a great teacher,he enjoys what he does and it shows.he goes out of his way to make sure you understand everything! no quizzes,just exams,and on those exams you can use notes! great teacher, he himself gets an A++
He is good because you can cheat in his class and even you can bring 4 page of note for exams and final!!!!
such a nice guy..! give u 4 pages of notes for every test and follows schedule very consisely. he is not hard at all if u do ur homework. does not take attendance and give CRAZY partial credit on tets.. take him!
Geraghty is a great teacher. One of the better math teachers I have had. He is very clear on his lectures and his tests are not too difficult if you have done the hw and listened during his lectures. I recommend anyone to take him.
the best teacher ever!! i really recommend him because he can teach, he helps a lot, and his tests are easy... give extra points for homeworks, and quizes are easy... really recommended if you want to learn and get good grade!!!
doesnt take roll,tests are basically hmwk probs. quiz every fri. some group work that u can take home. collects hmwk for points to see if u did it but doesnt correct them. grading scale helps boost ur grade.has a sense of humor. i recommend this teacher.
he loves what he does. there are quizes every friday but he drops your 2 lowest quiz grade. homework is due every friday, but it is worth points.
HE is a good teacher, but he messes up too much, don't know if its the time (7:30) but sometimes after writing down, he changes his mind then you have to change your notes. But his class is easy, 4 pages of notes! thats BEST part, never had that be 4.
He's a really nice teacher and his lectures are very clear. Sometimes he messes up but overall his lectures are extremely helpful. He's a Fair professor that gives tough tests but allows you to have 4 pages of notes. Overall a very good teacher.
Good teacher overall. Though for Statistics he went a bit fast. He's helpful and friendly. However, I hate the Statistics book by Mr.Soler, it made the classes and studying quite a bit more difficult. I would HIGHLY recommed Illowsky for Statistics.
he tries to be funny but personally i don't think he is. hw is mandatory but kinda easy. quizzes were extremely easy. tests were fairly easy. especially since its easy to cheat, if you do that. clear lectures. he's willing to answer any questions. A-
Mr Mo is one of the kindest teachers on this world. So clear, tests are sooo easy if you study, of course. Always willing to help students but occasionally makes mistakes in calculating. But overall, good teacher!
Very helpful teacher w/ ez tests, but makes a lot of mistakes.
this teacher is one of the coolest teachers i've had. in the middle of lectures he throughs in jokes and the quizes are easy and so are the tests. all u need to do is do the HW, becaue thats where he gets his quiz and test questions from.
Take Calculus with Geraghty! Easy and he makes the materials very understandable. Very nice. Gives partial credit in quizzes and Exams. 8 quizzes (every Friday except when there is an Exam), 3 Exams and 1 final. Easy to get a good grade in his class.
He's probably the easiest math teacher I've had so far at de anza college. He's very helpful, clear, and doesn't mind repeating stuff until u understand...His tests are really easy, although he does assign a lot of hwk -- it's due in the end of the week.
He's so easy, and for his final he gives you 4 pages of notes(this is unbelieveable!). all you have to do is study the review really understand them and you'll get an A. GPA BOOSTER~ RECOMMENDED
BEST TEACHER...I seldom go to his class, but still get an A...easy grader, easy test, a lot of homework...he never check the homework though...just need to turn it in....HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
As easy as it gets..haha he seems like a jitter bug jumping from one thing to the next..but very easy and gives lots of notes...test are open book and hw are not graded or collected. The easiest math I have ever taken! Highly recomended
Took him in Summer'04. Although we had to rush everything (6 weeks compare to 12 weeks), but he tried his best to bring out the material even though he makes stupid mistakes often. Take him if you want to learn and get good grade!
i bet he's easy on a REGULAR qtr. but he's really hard if you take him for the summer. but he's a really nice guy. sometimes makes mistakes though.
He is one of the best at De Anza. Tries hard to make you understand the materials. Often tells weird jokes about his experiences with math. Great and pretty easy teacher. Take him if you want to have a easy quarter of math and still learn something.
I'm currently taking his class,but he is really nice and helpful professor. This quarter he had made a very great decision of NOT giving any quizzes b4 or after the exam to torture student. He gives groups work that's considered as extra credits. I've earned a high grade score in his class. So KOOL!
Greate Teacher. Explains well and very predictive with Quizes, one every friday so you will know what to study for. Makes his class fun and easy going. Let you have notes on Tests. I really recomend taking him if you want to lear math and get a good grade.
It's not that he is an easy teacher. His teaching is EFFECTIVE. Pretty good and there to help.
Completely a waste of my time. If you're dumb, you'll like him (seems like everyone under). Teaches easy calculus for idiots. If you are a calculus nerd like me, go find a harder teacher. This class was seriously made for idiots.
The best teacher I ever had at DeAnza. He is so clear and the best part is that this gentleman has the perfect answers to all ur questions... He's a genius.
Although I've had calc before, this class made everything fit together. His lectures are great! I've NEVER had anyone explain integration and its applications like this before! I never did hwk after 1st few weeks. Still got an A! Just pay attention, know what's being covered, and take good notes!
that calc nerd who gave geraghty a bad rating is a stuck up idiot. if you are such a 'calc nerd' why didnt u pass out of calc in the first place? geraghty is awesome and makes a hard class totally do-able. take him!! tests are just like quizzes done in class, and he gives u four pages of notes!
Professor Geraghty is one of the best teachers. He really trys to help students understand the material. Always willing to answer your questions. Open book/notes on exams so you dont have to memorize the formulas. Highly recommend this professor!
Geraghty was a good teacher, he was a bit unclear at times but he really tried to help his students. Anytime i asked him to clarify something he really tried his hardest to help me. Plus, all tests are open book and open note!! (and thats including the final!!)
id have to say that this teacher is very helpful but is often times unclear and uses this****ty stats book by soler. the class is also very fast paced and is a bit demanding at times due to labs.
EZ IN THE SENSE THAT HE DROPS THE LOWEST QUIZ GRADE, GRADES ON A CURVE, OFFERS EXTRA CREDIT, AND ONLY TAKES OFF HALF A POINT FOR MISTAKES.
For all of you stat students complaining about Geraghty, he is a GOD next to the other stat teachers at DeAnza. I did horrible in this subject previously, but I'm getting a good A in his class. He is very clear, gives plenty of examples, doesn't make you do long tedious calculations, and allows notes on the midterms.
he is one of the greatest teachers, So helpful and nice. I think he tries to keep you interested in math and have fun with it.
helpful, kind and funny. 4 tests (drops 1), 10 labs, 1 final and 1 project. very busy class. the book was a bit hard to understand but hopefully he sais he will change it soon. not that easy of a class but is possible to get a good grade if you pay attention and do that homework!
such a good guy. he is the best. easy midterms and final.
EASY A. open note and book midterms and final. POC!!!!!
Mr Geraghty is an excellent lecturer despite the fact that you have do all the lab works, projects and study hard for 4 midterms. I took both his Math 10 and 11 in Spring 2005 and I got A for both subjects. He provides online notes prior the lectures and explains very clearly every topics in depth. I would recommend students to enroll for his class
He is a super cool teacher. Very Funny. One thing creepy about him is that he looks like Freddy Crugar. Take him if you want a kick back class.
He is such a good teacher. He is so funny and escited about teaching math. He allows 4 pages of notes on every exam! more than enough, his exams are not hard and stick to examples he goes over in class, overall he is a wonderful teacher and i would recommend him to anyone and everyone!
best teacher ever, so easy
good teacher..not hard..just take a good note from the class, and review for exam..then you will get good grade..
He's very unclear and doesnt know how to explain the materials. I hated his class. However, open notes and books. If u study hard, easy to get A. On emore thing that he's not that friendly sometimes when being asked questions.
Very easy. Great teacher too, learned a lot. Teaches very well. Easy A if you take notes, got an A without the book. Best Stats teacher in De Anza. Highly recommend him.
Math is always gonna be hard but this teacher is the best there is to offer at Deanza. He presented the material very well and helped make it easy to understand. I am taking him again for math 11.
very funny teacher. He even made a SN for his students to contact him by DEANZAMO.. hahaha. If you are even a slight bit interested in stat, take him.
He is a good teacher. You get four pages of notes for tests and the final so that helps a lot. Not a lot of homework either. Sometimes he is a bit confusing, but overall I'd recommend him, probably better than most other options.
This guy is the man! He is relatively easy, but the great thing is that you will still be well prepared for 1C. Gives a couple group work problems per section, which he goes over before you turn in, 4 pages of notes on every exam, he is a great lecturer, and is actually funny. What more can you ask for? Congrats on tenure Mo!
this is the second time I took a math class with this teacher, first time math 49a. And wow, I must say he is awesome!What separates him from other math teachers is he is very, very clear and tests us what he does in class, unlike some others! Only if every teacher was like him.funny guy and cares. He motivates you study and wants you to succeed. +
I actually liked Stats after taking his class, and I hate all types of math. Not very hard, but you gotta do the work. He's a really nice and helpful guy, too. He's method of teaching actually gets you interested because he uses a lot of real life examples to explain the concepts. Probably the best math teacher at De Anza, so take this class!!
Perhaps the easiest Math professor in De Anza. You can't go wrong in his class. Some 'credit as you try' groupwork problems, one final and 4 Mid-terms, dropping the lowest score. Allow 4 pages of notes in midterms and final. Highly recommended.
The class is extremely fast as any other math classes...Just make sure you keep up with the homeworks and try it yourself....I thought I would get an C in it but ended up with an B...Good luck!
I have taken so many teachers at DA & he is the coolest! I was an F student in Math and I have an A in his class. His class seems easy cuz he is extremely clear on the H.W, lab, groupwork, lectures. He is extremely helpful. He posts answers on website. A little bit of weekly HW. Allows 4 pages of notes on test. BEST MATH TEACHER AT DEANZA!!
explains very clearly.. that is the most important thing in a subject like stats.. coz its not direct like any other subjects.. exam is not hard and its open book.. clear explanation is the key though..
geraghty explains very clearly and that makes you understand what the hell is going on in class.. he gave a review paper b4 exam and so u have an overview what to expect on the exam.. exams are easy with open books too!! labs are fun, not difficult. WHAT CAN U EXPECT MORE??
straight-forward teaching style, clear and funny lecture. posts powerpoint slides on his web so u can print it out and use it in class (very helpful). repeat important info. decent hw load. expect 30 min hw time everyday. gives pratice test so STUDY THEM! spend 5-10 hrs if u want an A. if u r only OK in math, TAKE HIM anyways.
Good class. Lecture follows book closely, so you won't get lost if you miss class. Attendance optional, but you want to make it on Fridays to turn in homework. Homework counts towards grade (a good thing) so that you're not under complete pressure to ace every test.
Hehe, I didn't do homework every day and just review the lessons right before every final and I got nearly perfect grade ^_^. His review problems and the power point lecture on his web is extremely helpful. Highly recomanded.
Prof. Geraghty is the best math teacher at De Anza. Not only that, he's the most popular too--you'll see if you try and book a class with him. Anyway, the guy is stunning. Don't take my word for it, go and check it out for yourself. TIP: Study the practice exam hand-outs. Good luck.
4 pages of notes is more than enough. he gives you reviews that are really similar to the exams. 3 exams and he drops one. the labs are easy. the project is time consuming. the final is multiple choice. ended up with an A- in the class. he's a really good teacher. makes random jokes too. take his class if you have the chance!
Prof Geraghty is awesome. He is really clear on his lessons, he is super helpful and he thouroughly wants to see his students succeed. The 4 pages of test notes are really helpful, especially because of all the formulas needed. Plus, this guy is HILARIOUS.. definately the only professor's class I would take at 7:30 in the morning.
all of you people sayin he's easy are trippin, he might be the best at De Anza but Iwas onna fail so droped and I never do! did the homework and came to every class I didn't have extra time to spend on rereading dude make a small mistake in tests and get marked down lots of self study required note pages You don't have time tests hella long
Only checks that your hw is complete, he gets chalk all over his shirt during and is kinda funny for an old actuary. He tests what he teaches and finishes right along with the greensheet while answering a good amount of hw questions. Use the solutions manual to help you with the homework and you have an A.
He is the best. So clear and nice about everything. Quizes and tests are about what he taught, a few conceptual questions here and there, really easy tests. He answers any questions you may have, and gives the right amount of examples. Very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Also, he has a great personality. Very recommended!!!
Moe is so funny. He's as clear as anyone can be when it comes to Statistics. You HAVE to do the homework, and you HAVE to study. A lot of people from Algebra think this class is gonna be simple. Big Mistake. Be prepared, this is a COLLEGE lvl math course, which 112 and 114 are not. You have to study and work but you can get a good grade.
worst teacher never ever had....he never accepted his fault
I have to say, Statistics is not an easy subject, but with the project that's time consuming, just study for tests, allows notes, he's a bit weird, one of this dorky personalities, but very doable to get an A.Study and do practice tests, they help, esp on the final.
before taking his class i was scared of stats. it was my second time taking it didnt know if i was gonna pass it or not but mr. geraghty is a helpful teacher. his lessons are straight forward and helps people who are struggling in his class. eventhough hw is worth only 30 pts it's extra practice and very helpfull. take him. very funny.
Good teacher, knows what he is talking about. Allows 4 pages of notes for tests, lowest score dropped. However, the computer labs are not easy and he doesn't explain them well, just sort of points to things and moves on. But overall fairly easy class.
he is is great teacher that i ever had before. He is very easy and tests are straight forward, take him. Highly recommended!
Excellent teacher. Crystal clear, explains everything, posts worked-out answers on websites. Grades very fairly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Attend class regularly or you'll get lost!
I don't know what everybody is complain about. I had him for math 112,114,math 10 he is so awesome. He give assignment and test but if you pay attention and get help from tutoring and go to his office hours it be okay and the lab is cool
The easiest teacher I have ever had. you can bring 4 page notes to class, and the exams will be similar to homework. Come to class everyday, do the homework, and you will get A.
Awesome just go to class and pay attention and make notes and go to tutoring then you are set. also go to office hours
I really like this guy. He knows a lot about Statistics and tries his hardest to make it interesting for his students. He is totally fair with his testing and allows notes and a take home exam. It isn't easy and I just wish i had more time to devote to this class.
Simple as A B C, easy as 1 2 3. he always have a smile on his face which made him very handsome and easy to look at, kinda look like a hairy Antonio Banderas.....TAKE HIM FOR STAT, if you want to get the hell of of De Anza.
One of the best math teachers on campus. Fun, interesting, will answer your questions thoroughly. Very reasonable grader. ONLY teacher who uses Excel with stats so barely any stupid formulas to memorize. One (10-15) problem homework assignment due per week, notes allowed on tests, great teacher who you can come to for help... HIGHLY recommended!
He made statistics way too easy, and it's not supposed to be an easy topic. If you want an easy A, go for it. But i'm telling you...with the way he gives exams, you won't really get the most out of your education. I feel like I could've learned so much more about statistics. Got an A+ and not even proud of it.
He is great teacher and his teaching style is really great. His teaching style has clarity. There are three exams and one final in his class.
HE IS VERY NICE
must say, he's very nice teacher, always smiling!! I'm pretty sure nobody would dislike him. Trust me, if you're decent in math it's an easy A for you.
wow he's the best math teacher ever.really!! He's very organized and uses group worksheets to lecture in easier way. I was going to drop on first week just b/c the class material seemed challenging but once you are enrolled in his class NEVER think to drop.-becasue he teaches in easy ways and you can also use few pages of notes during the midterms.
You have big group project(10-page paper &presentation but you have about four people in your group)*don't worry!!!! and three midterms& a final. Just attend every class meeting and you will get A or B easily. He's really nice and take care of every students. If you want to take a math class as GE take this class. You will love it!!
other math teachers in deanza should take a class from him so they know how to teach students properly! i am very lucky to have him!!
Just take him!!!!!GPA↑
This was my first time taking math 212 and I could not be happier with this teacher. He collectes homework and group work and gives you full credit even if some problems are wrong. He also gives a practice test before every exam which is really helpful and allows notes and a calculator during exams too.
Great teacher, he explains things clear. YOu just have to show up and do the work, the labs are easy so find a group. Make sure ur on track with the hws. He provide study sheet before the test :)
Amazing teacher. He made the class crack up at least once a day with his jokes. Always put everyone in a good mood! Teaches QUICKLY so make sure to see him if you have any questions.
Maybe it was just me, but this teacher taught so fast, it was hard to keep up in class. I went to the tutoring sessions and had help from Susan Dean (who taught on Wednesdays) because of Guidance 219 and still had difficulty. He is a nice person, but actually teaching the math is not his forte.
in MPS program - he talks too fast & does not consider that the students do no understand most of it - IT IS A MPS class yet he talks so fast -who is he tying to impres???
Best stats prof ever! I had a D in my transcript for stats from another teacher and with him I ended up with an A! He allows 4 pages of notes and is very clear in his teaching. The labs are easy and his practice exam is very helpful. Anyone can get an A if I can! All you have to do is show up, do the homework, and pay attention. You can't go wrong!
It was the best class ever
Professor Mo is a great teacher of the Mathematics department. His class was not an easy one. But, he provides students some group HW that will help you to pull up your grade, if you turn them in. He?s always on-time. I got a B+ in his class, and I worked hard for that.
Pretty easy teacher. Allows notes for tests and is very clear in explaining topics and parts students get confused on. Simply attend class and make notes for tests and you should end up with a very high grade.
WOW i dont know about all these other peoples reviews but this guy is really SCATTERBRAINS!!!! Sure he gives you notes but his lectures are all over the place. He talks about a lot of irrelevant things in the middle of explaining things then when he finally gets back on topic..you dont know what it was!
Easy to follow, open note tests. Group works were hardest part, but you have plenty of time to complete. If you don't miss class, you will get right score. I liked this class because it was very interesting way to see the mathematics. It was interesting to see the mathematics in other way than calculating.
Great class, great instructor. Attend and do your work and you'll get an desirable grade. Beats taking statistics if you don't have to.
Mo is a very nice stat teacher. He is definitely the easiest you can find at De Anza. Best thing is no textbook required, he gives you his online book for free. Also, homework is graded for credit so there's no right or wrong answer, you will get the same grade as long as you show your effort doing it. I got an A+
Ok guys. Here is the REAL honest review. This teacher is a very funny guy. He gave us cookies. I will say if you show up to the tutoring session it is IMPOSSIBLE to fail this class. I am not very smart and do not put much time after class. I got an A-. Pick a smart group for group work. Do the hw. Ask questions. If i can get an A- anyone can!!
This guy is pretty tough, honestly didn't understand him half the time. He did understand my situation and tried to help me out which i appreciate. He helped me pass, and i usually get straight A's. Take caution for Calc 1A this isn't Statistics! Which is what he usually teaches. Good personality is a plus but strict grader.
He is a great teacher and his tests are easy if you know what to put in your 4 pages of notes for the midterms. There's a presentation you have to do but it's not so bad. It's a really different kind of math class but interesting nonetheless. This guy also looks like the mentor from Eat, Pray, Love in the India part. Anyways, I highly recommend!
Was not good for Math 1A. His test were really hard as compared to his lectures. :-(
Goes very fast, keep up! Very cool professor though, one of my favorites. Very cool class. Take Mo for math 44 :)
He is a tough grader!
Class was extremely difficult. He speeds through every lecture without pauses, and speaks to the class as if we are all experts in statistics. When there is a question, he states, "thats what group tutoring is for. Teaching is not this mans forte. This class is more than difficult when taking it with this instructor.
One of the biggest mistakes I've ever made was taking this course. The class lectures were very hard to understand. Every lecture seemed as if he was in a rush. Extremely difficult to comprehend course material when he would lecture.
I study the material by myself most of the time because I often got lost when he lectured. He lectured really fast. He is not bad and if you put in the effort it's not hard to pass the class. Find a smart group for the labs because the work is overwhelming. He's a very fair grader.
I dont know why his rating is so high on rate my professor. I think his MATH 10 class is easy, probably thats why. I recently took his class and it was pain in the butt. He just rushes through the topics. Most of my time was spent in math tutorial center.
He goes through the material so fast. Most of the students don't even get the time to write the stuff in the notes. I thought he is good teacher, but bad experience
His class is like a Self - prepratory class. (learned most ofthe material on myown).Doesn't prepared me for math 1b
Prepare to teach yourself. I should have dropped his class half way through.
Omg!!!!! He is hard
His math 10 class was ok. But i dont know why he made this class so hard for us.
If you're looking for an easy A, you have the wrong professor. Mo is hands down one of the hardest yet, most educated professors I have ever had. I took his Math 10 class in summer so everything was twice as fast. I had to go to the Math tutoring center 4 days a week for 2 hours every day to get A+ in his class. We used a free online textbook.
If you've got the mindset, and want to learn something take him, he's pretty clear and if you do the homework (he doesnt collect it) you will do fine.
if you're here. be prepared to do a project about this website. he's chill but not helpful. Free book. if you want to have good grade you better study hard.
Do NOT take this class over the summer! It moves like a rapid river in which you will drown and plummet into an abyss of darkness... Unless--of course-- you have a lifejacket and you are a master swimmer, then by all means, take it.
Probably the best instructor I had during my two years at De Anza. Geraghty will definitely take the time to help you succeed if you're willing to put in the work. When I was in his class, he provided practice exams that closely mirrored the real test, and allowed open note exams.
Taking his MATH 1B class in Winter. Very straightforward greensheet. 3 tests, 6 quizzes, Worksheets (credit only, free points!!) and 1 final exam. Doesn't collect homework!. Overall, he is very intelligent and nice.
Overall great teacher. He makes a subject that is considered difficult for many students easier. Lectures are clear. Allows 4 pages of notes on exams. Work is time consuming though - homework, labs (group work), and project (group work). No textbook purchase necessary- all textbooks are available online. Highly recommended!
A really solid and pretty easy math teacher whose tests are designed to test your knowledge, not fail you. He gives a lot of partial credit so if you know roughly what you're doing, you'll do well. I've chosen to take three of his calculus classes in a row - that's how much I like them.
Great teacher, easy to get A. I got A+ (1A,1B,1C). Do exercise on the book. That's
He is seriously a really easy and good teacher. He will answers all questions if you have any. I've had him for two quarters for the statway program. He's nice and funny. Just do homework, go to tutoring if you need help, do well on the quizzes and test, and you will pass this class.
He's the best. I was so nervous about taking stats but he made it seem so simple. He uses really great examples and his lectures are clear and follow his exams too. If you do all the homework and labs and actually pay attention in class, you'll do great. He really prepares you for the tests too & lets you use notes. Plus he's really funny and nice.
I love him <3
He is really really nice teacher!!! so good!
Great professor! Interesting lectures and assignments! Such a nice guy.. Thank you Prof!
Mo is seriously the greatest professor I have ever had in my academic career. I took him a few quarters ago for the Statway program. He is AMAZING! I have never done well with math, but the way Mo teaches makes it easy to understand. He is a great guy who generally cares about his students success in the class! Take his class, you wont regret it!!
ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS EVER!!! So freaking helpful will literally answer any question you have without showing and sign of being bothered or annoyed. Just practice and pay attention in class. I love this guy and he's the best math teacher in De Anza by far. Great dude too. Tests are hard but if you study they're easy. Final was good too.
Professor Geraghty is honestly the best I've had. I hate math but he made the class enjoyable and easy to understand! The class is simple: show up to lects and do the h.w and lab to get credit and do your project. Try not to miss class or you might be lost. Exams are hard but you get to use notes! I also found him hilarious! He's the best!
great teacher, helpful and clear. passionate about math
He's a very good math professor. i didnt understand stats better with any other teacher, but him. i easily passed my stats by taking his class. take him you wont regret it.
MO IS AWESOME
He's a goofy guy, liked him a lot. He's really experienced in the field and really knows what he is talking about. A lot of insight if you are lookin to go far with stats. The hw is pretty tough but the grading for it is effortfull credit. Exams are easycash if you do the hw. I'd recommend him, kinda gotta put in some work tho
Mo is seriously the best! His lectures are amazing and helpful. He is very intelligent and knows exactly what he talks about. It is not an easy class but he makes it seem easy. He is also very funny, which makes the class fun. I would recommend anyone to take his class. I would totally take his class again if I have the chance.
I took his math 1B last spring. He is super nice and helpful. He gives group work every lecture but does not assign group members so you can work on your own if you want. He posts all the answers after every quiz, exam or group work. If you do all the work, you will definitely get A
His lectures are very clear, especially on the powerpoint, which is very useful. Overall, Mo Geraghty is a useful teacher.
He is amazing teacher. There is credit for group work, homework, and labs. You can easily get A . Would love to his class again . He use online notes
He's one of the best math teachers here on campus! This was my second time taking Stats. I actually understand it more well this time. Test is easy if you pay attention in class!
HW once a week, so is the lab, which we did in class. The class can be boring, especially if it is 2hr 30 min long, as the subject is difficult and dry. All the HW helped me as to what methods of statistics to use when. His prep exams and final were extremely useful, and learning from them was the reason why i was able to understand them at all.
Prof Mo is the one to take if you ever struggled with math. He offers all the help a student needs: txtbooks, slides, correctedHW, preparatory tests, everything is on his website. He's also available outside class, and very willing to help. Fair grader, has clear grading criteria, is very knowledgeable and funny; don't miss his class, he's amazing.
Took his Summer class. He's amazing & helpful. Hes a fun, laidback teacher. Hes willing to answer questions or repeat anything just so you understand the material. If you arent good w/ Math but HAVE to take stats in Summer, try to enroll w/ Mr G. If you fail in his class, it's because you didn't try.
This was my 3rd time taking stats and I wish I had taken him sooner! There is group work everyday and hw due every week which really helps you prepare for each midterm. Highly recommend taking his class.
Professor Mo Geraughty is an extremely great professor! I came to his class knowing absolutely nothing about Statistics. After the course was over I had the opportunity to become more familiar with the statistical concepts. He is a really nice professor and is always willing to help his students succeed. I highly recommend taking his class!!
Professor Mo is awesome! He's fair and cares about our success. He gives a lot of resources to help us succeed.
took Stats with the MPS program. Daily assignments, 3 tests, lots of help from in class tutors. Mo is a great teacher, willing to go back and explain concepts, and is very patient, funny and quirky. 10 out of10 would recommend.
Mo rushes through slides and expects us to be an expert. Not a bad guy, but I learned almost nothing in his class
He's not a bad guy but he is a bad professor. Unless you have prior knowledge of statistics, don't take him. He introduces new ideas in every lecture and rushes through problems without explaining concepts thoroughly. It is very hard to keep up unless you're doing the absolute most for this class for example, such as getting a tutor and going to OH
He's a great teacher. He's kinda quirky but he's really nice and if you don't get something, go to his office hours !! He makes sure that everything in his class is free and available to you --no textbook (its online for free),no scantrons, no mathlab or anything. I'm glad that I chose to take his class. Tests aren't too hard either
This guy is a great teacher and really helped me enjoy his stats class. If you are not great at math this is the teacher for you! He is very helpful and is always willing to go the extra mile for his students
The best math teacher I've ever had. He gave lots of hw, but nothing too overbearing. As long as you show up to class often, and ask for help when needed it will be manageable.
Mo really knows what he is talking about and really wants you to do good in his class. He will answer questions whenever. It helps if you print out his class notes before class and add on notes from his lectures. Even though Stats isn't the easiest of courses I think his class is your best option. He has such a sweet quirky personality!
Mo is by far the best Stats professor you can have. He takes things slow and is very good at explaining models clearly. Very flexible and reasonable guy that really intends on helping his students succeed. We had 2 exams, a final exam, homework due every Monday(flexible) and if you show up to class and ask questions he will gladly help you!
Mo very nice, i took his class and he is easy, his midterm and final isn't that hard, if i can choose i will take him again
Mo very nice, i took his class and he is easy, his midterm and final isn't that hard, if i can choose i will take him again, in his class we have mps program and it helpful
Professor Mo is great! He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to pass his class! He will help you if you ask questions!
Prof Mo is the best math professor in De Anza. If you are stupid in math, you must take this class. I improved very much listening to his lectures.
his tests are really hard and he gives way too much work.. you should re consider before taking his class
I swear if you just turn in the hw, group work, and labs in you'll be able to pass. 3 exams & for each you are allowed 4 pages of notes. there are tutors in the class to help you. His lectures are only an hour long. He goes by his own txtbook but all that stuff is on his website (his textbook & printable notes) love this old man so much :(
Take this professor and be done with stats, took him over the summer quarter and he was awesome. Gives material that will be on test, no notes, homework is test material, so do your homework and the test will be a breeze. An A grade is possible my friends, TAKE THIS PROFESSOR,
Highly recommend to take Prof Mo!Homework isn't due, lab is easy and 4sheets of notes front&back is allowed for every tests!! FOUR!!He wrote his own textbook so we can use for free); Such a cinnamon roll<3 He also drops your lowest test out of 3 tests the entire quarter. Go to class for the papers and lab days. Dont skip lab days!!
Mo is a easy professor. For stats he had 3 tests in total. 3 normal exams, one was considered a final but it only goes over the last couple of chapters. Also drops your lowest test score so you only have to do good on 2 of them. The homework is optional except the syllabus on the first day which is 5 points. Highly Recommend this class for easy A.
If you're anxious with math -- Professor Mo will help you without judgement. I had withdrawn from 3 math classes already at De Anza and finally decided to take a 4 day class with Professor Mo. Totally worth it! The speed at which he teaches his perfect and he explains everything very clearly! MPS program helps a lot!
He was a really nice man and could explain the math easily. No homework + 4 pages of notes for the test... a dream. The only problem is that it moved pretty fast and the labs were so confusing. anyways if you're good at math his class is perfect for you.
Great professor if youre bad at math. He explains it to you in the simplest manner. If you do the homework & group work everyday you'll pass with no problem. He lets you use notes on the exams too! I failed math Classes all my life and this is the first time I got an A in math! So that says a lot!
The best teacher ever
The best professor, super nice and understandable. He gives his own free textbook for us to use. The lecture is very straightforward. If you do well on the first 3 midterms you can skip finals. Highly recommended.
He is a nice, caring, supportive, and understanding professor. Weekly easy discussions, labs, and group works(but you can choose to work on your own). Only 3 exams are required which means if you do well on the first 3, you don't have to take the final!! Take him, you won't regret !
Prof Mo is one of the best professors in de Anza. He is caring and only wants to give the best to his students. His workload is acceptable, two group projects every week (you can do it by yourself if you want to) and you can always email him for questions. Exams are easy. 4 exams and he drop 1 with the lowest score.
Professor Mo is an excellent teacher. He literally wrote the textbook you will learn out of and he gives it to you for free. Complete the assignments on time and you get full credit, tests are straightforward and open book/note. It's an easy A if you attend the zoom lectures as he explains everything in depth and they makes the tests easy.
Easy A, but won't remember the material after the course. 2 group works and 2 labs every week (you can do it alone). A total of 4 exams, drops the lowest exam. Records the lectures and posts them on Canvas. The labs and group works are similar to the homework (not mandatory), so you can always refer to that or email him if you have any questions.
Just attend his classes, do all the homework, and make sure you study for the test and you will get an A. His tests have no time limit so you will have enough time to figure out the answers.
Professor Mo is honestly an amazing teacher. I did not know what to expect when I took his class, but on the first day I took him, he was very nice and caring. His class is pretty easy. His homework is not graded so homework is optional and you can do it to help you for the midterms. There are 4 midterms. I would take him again and recommend him!
Professor Mo's class is group work heavy, but there's also the option to work alone. Just watch his lectures and understanding the material shouldn't be too hard. He also has tutors and an MPS counselor in class to assist with any questions. An easy A if you complete the work plus his tests don't have any time limits.
He is a real treat. Off the bat after hearing why he decided to teach stats, I already knew he would be an understanding person. He has a textbook that he made himself (which was given for free, COVID) which is funny, you actually learn things from his lectures, everything was decently easy, and I will always remember our personal talks. Take him!!
Mo is one of the best at De Anza. I was a little scared to take stats because its math heavy but that was not the case with Mo. He breaks it down so that it's more digestible and more focused on concepts than calculations. He provides tons of resources to be successful in the class. He is for the students. Even made his own stats book.
Professor Mo is amazing most of the work is group work you can do it alone if you choose to though. 4 exams, weekly discussion, weekly lab, weekly group work and a final project presentation. The presentation is very easy you just present a research paper. take Mo you wont regret it. take notes!
Best Stats teacher out there. Gives plenty of resources to succeed in the class. In Our current situation gave us multiple days to complete the test. No surprises on the test either, most things covered in HW and group work. No final but final presentation, which is fairly simple if you follow his instructions and do office hours.
Prof Mo has to be the best teacher I have EVER had. He is clear and concise. You can't fail. Mo really has provided all the tools for success. There are 3 exams, 1 final. 2 labs and 2group work assignments that you can do alone per week. (drops lowest score)Discussions are interesting and engaging. I wish more were like him. Uses own textbook! <3
Prof Mo is very chill. all lectures are recorded. the only way you are getting points in his class are discussion posts, groupwork and exams. all exams are take home exams & u have 3-4 days to submit. you'll pass the class if you're lucky to have cooperative people for groupwork. U can also work by yourself, but more studying for u! HES SO NICE :D
Mr. Mo is such a kind proffessor. Bless his soul! All his homework are optional, the best way to succeed is to simply be on time on all his lectures and you're good. There's 4 exams and he'll drop the lowest one, and the final is easy! You got this!
Great prof! He knows what he is talking about and obviously really enjoys what he teaches. As a class, it is a pretty easy A. As long as you do the assignments and study for the tests you'll be fine. There are group assignments but you can do them individually if you want. The tests were all online and you had multiple days to complete them.
really nice guy. 4-5 quizzes, drops your lowest score. 3 weekly assignments, he has his own textbook (free) if you want more practice. the final was a presentation, very easy. please please please take him if you can!! overall a really interesting course and i'd love to take more of his courses in the future
Professor Mo is an awesome teacher. Very helpful and is able to walk you through any problems. Zoom meetings consist of groupwork (1st meeting of the week) and a lab (2nd meeting of the week), and are fairly easy. Weekly discussion are related to the real world which is nice. Overall good teacher and an even better person. Please take this class.
Although I don't love statistics, Professor Mo made this class manageable and kind of fun. He created his own textbook, which is easy to understand and follow. The lectures were long but informative. You definitely have to attend class and do some work to get the A. I would take him again!
Professor Mo Geraghty is a good lecturer. He encourages the students to learn by doing. Homework is optional, but it is recommend that you do it to do well on the tests. His tests are not too hard, but it is important to understand the material and participate on the group projects if you want to do well on them.
All group work and lab work (3GW 1Lab a week) done in class with help from prof & tutors. Prof. is helpful and willing to explain and offer extra help. Lectures are long, can be watched in own time. NO COST CLASS. Prof. has his own textbook for free. No way you can fail this unless you never watch the lectures or read. 3(?) exams, 1 oral final.
Very cool professor to have, if you don't get something dont be afraid to ask. He gives very simple and straightforward explanations that are easy to understand. Attendance is mandatory but his class is an easy pass as long as you pay attention.
Prof Mo is really nice and accessible to students. Grades leniently and tests are open for a couple days and open book. Final is a one-on-one presentation. Group work and discussions make up the rest of your grade. Lectures explain everything you need to know and he wrote his own textbook free for students! He likes what he does and is great at it.
