Class is definitely hard, but it's Calculus so what do you expect. Moberly is pretty clear on what he wants you to know. Gives you a study guide of what to study for before a test. Expect a good amount of homework and studying every week for this class. Overall great teacher, hard class.

Not the hardest class but definitely not an easy A. He was very helpful though and made sure everyone understood the lesson. There was homework every week but very understanding if you can't turn it in on time. Great teacher but don't expect an A without actually studying

Smart and energetic but doesn't make the course easy.

Moberly is a pretty cool/good teacher. He is extremely helpful and tries to show up to any group study sessions. He clearly states what is going to be on every test so there are never any surprises. People grade this professor way too harshly. Moberly is actually one of the better math teachers I have had. Don't Be Lazy in this class! ^-^

Algebra is not my favorite, his chalkboard examples uninspiring. Professor Moberly provided test outlines, extra time with the homework when the class members were willing to admit that they couldn't get it done. He added calculated columns to let us know just what we needed on the final. I can pass even without the final, and in reach of a B :-)

He is very passionate about the material, an even more passionate about teaching it. By nature, the class is difficult, but he will help you individually. His teaching methods are very good, sometimes he will give out a worksheet for us to work on in groups and he will go around the room helping everyone. It's rare when a professor works this hard.

The people who rate Moberly as a bad teacher are the kids who didn't try in his class. The course is naturally difficult so lazy people will have a hard time. His lectures may not be great, but if you pay attention and put effort into studying the material it is not to hard. He's willing to help you even if you don't approach him.

He figures out ways to work the Quadratic Formula into a final exam problem in an unrelated mathematics subject. Not very open to other ways of factoring. It's like he's in league with my high school math teacher, trying to stick it to me.

Moberly cares a lot about the success of his students. He joined the facebook group for the class and regularly logged on to answer questions and post resources. He often attended the study session that were organized just before the tests to help out anyone who was struggling. He did everything he could to help people learn the material and pass.

Dr. Moberly is the best math professor I have ever had. He is extremely dedicated to his students. Dr. Moberly is always available to help students, he even showed up to multiple student study sessions to help out before exams. He gave us five exams and a final which were hard but I feel like I learned diff eq very well. Hard but good professor.

If you're looking for an easy differential equations class then don't be an engineer. Moberly always tells you exactly what to study for. He tells you exactly what problems he is putting on the test. You have to work for it but stop expecting to be handed a grade just for showing up. Moberly wants to see his students learn and succeed.

This professor is very helpful and does everything he can do to clarify any concept, for any student. His tests are tough, yes, however he gives great descriptions of the test problems and grades very fairly. Do your homework, study hard and you'll do great. If your looking for advice on which professor to choose for AE280, choose the Moberly.

Moberly is the opposite of mean. Almost too nice. He will show up to your study groups and bring pizza. (Unheard of). Very smart guy but was not prepared to teach ae 280. However, tells almost exactly what will be on the test. There will always be one thing you have never seen on each test which is a bummer but it's manageable. Can't be lazy!!!!

This guy is extremely enthusiastic about helping you out. He will literally hunt you down in the library to help you with homework or with studying. Its a tough class, sure, but if you crack open the book and do a couple examples you'll be golden. Only downside is not being able to review your past exams/homeworks.

Spent a lot of time doing **my** homework too. Learned a lot from it. Moberly times the homework to be due on test day - that can be grueling at times, but it seemed to be a sure way to get it done. Others grumble that the powerpoints were from the book - by projecting in-book examples from the book on whiteboard, he did add to and explain them.

Difficult class. Very content with the curve.

It would be better if he worked on more homework examples in class so the students can grasp the concepts easier. However if you go to his office hours he is extremely helpful and explains everything much better. He cares so much about his students and is willing to put in a lot of outside time to make that happen. A very solid professor for AE280.

I feel bad for Moberly. He's a really nice person, and he's always excited to teach, though to be honest he's not that great at it. He definitely knows his material and will help you outside of class though. Homework is long, get the solution manual, it'll help. Tests are solid. Tells us every question that will be on the test. Easy A if you work.

Really not as bad as these reviews make him out to be. In my class at least MOST students didn't put any effort into the class, then antagonized the professor when they didn't like their grade. As for the project get started early and ask questions often. Not only will you do well but you will be one of only a few students who didn't procrastinate.

Dr. Moberly is one of the most intelligent people I've learned from. If only he could communicate what he knew to his students. He speaks only in theorem language and does not do any examples that are on the tests. Clear test grading criteria. I attended every lecture, studied religiously, and emailed him constantly, and was able to do well.

Dr. Moberly truly cares about his students. His tests are not as difficult as people say. It's exactly what he tells you it will be on the study guide. If you study the study guide, you can easily get an A in the class. Make sure you go to class to get the clicker points. YouTube videos help the most as his lectures are energetic but unorganized.

Get ready to spend some time in this class. Make sure you study, and do the HW and the study guides. This class has mandatory participation, HW's, 3 or 5 exams depending on the class meetings, and a final. Examination is very controlled; assigned seats, etc. You will understand the subject well, and learn a lot once you do everything required.

He follows the book very carefully, in his lectures he shows all the shortcuts and little exceptions that you will need to pass the tests. Not only did he show up to every study session that someone asked him to go to but he fired up the room to do math. Overall great teacher, he clearly loves math and he makes himself available to students.

Dr. Moberly is an excellent professor, the people who say otherwise are slackers who don't want to put in the effort to learn the material. He is very passionate and extremely knowledgeable, if you have any questions just ask during class or office hours. If you can't learn this material on your own, you are probably not fit to be an engineer.

Homework wasn't given back, and I don't believe going over the tests was a helpful. Tests aren't representative of the homework. Otherwise, he's a great guy that shows he cares and will help you learn if you put in the effort and show interest. You'll be doing some self-teaching no doubt, so don't give up and try to pay attention for the clickers.

I think a lot of people blame Dr Moberly for the course material being so dry/tough(it definitely is both of those things). Still, Dr Moberly grades fairly, is enthusiastic in lecture, posts youtube examples, and comes to the library for study groups that students set up(!!). I have never had a teacher do that. Put in the effort and you'll do fine.

Dr. Moberly is one of the most helpful professors I have taken at SDSU. The material is quite difficult, but he frequently offers to stay after lecture to review problems, answer questions, etc. There is a fair amount of homework, however, the abundance of material provides a lot more practice for exams.

He was a super cool guy and made lectures more enjoyable for a pretty boring subject. He made it easy to understand by doing a lot of example problems. The class had a total of 110 attainable points (not including extra credit) and the class is graded out of 100 points, so it's a pretty decent curve.

Professor Moberly really cares about students' success and will give you all of the tools to get a good grade in his class. 3 exams and a final, which were all based on the outlines that he provides. There are some difficult concepts but if you go to class, do the homework, go to the study sessions, you can do really well. Great guy & professor!

Great Professor. If you do not understand something he will stay and help you until you do. This is by far the most intelligent doctor Ive ever had. I am not a genius, but golly spending some time with Dr. Moberly I sure feel like I COULD maybe one day be one. Two thumbs way up. Thats all.

Moberly is one of the best engineering profs I've had at my time at SDSU. He makes sure his lectures are interesting and fun and he's a great teacher who cares about his students. He handled the online classes due to COVID super well and is easily one of my favorite profs I've taken. Class can be homework heavy but tests are fair and reasonable.

Study the chapter before the lecture, this will help you with "participation" points because he will give polls during the class. There are 16 short quizzes and a final. HW is generally easy til ch 11. Before each short quiz, he gives a WS which is nearly identical. If you pay attention to the lecture, read the book, and don't fall behind its easy.
