Prof. Moore has detailed lectures, but he can go through them without much explanation, raise your hand in class if you have a question or you'll get lost. MyMathLab is required, he gives pop quizzes on HW questions in the beginning of class sometimes so don't be late! Can give off a rude attitude, and not lenient. ALL TESTS BASED OFF GROUP QUIZZES

Prof. Moore's teaching style is different & not always clear. Moves quickly through concepts, doesn't allow much time to solve problem on board & can be short in response if you don't get it. First class I've ever been too intimidated to ask a Q. Covers chapters out of order for no apparent reason & gives lots of extra busy work beyond HW.

Moore is such a greater lecturer for differential equations. The class is pretty tough, and for me, required the biggest time commitment out of any of the "upper level" math classes in SDCCD. The homework is very long because of the nature of the problems (intense algebra). However, Moore made the concepts as simple as possible and easy to digest.

Lectures are very easy to take notes off of. LOTS of HW, which I think is the biggest turnoff. But doing them will help you learn. According the testing distributions he gives out after each test, around 30-50% fail his tests (below 70%), but your lowest (out of 3 test) gets replaced. 3 take-home exams (you should get As on). Overall, great prof.

The group projects if a student in the group is MIA YOU get points deducted from the project score. Even if you can't get into contact with that person. He will make you redo an assignment multiple times until you get it the way HE wants. Even if those instructions weren't on the assignment. He won't give you the score until you fix it. RUN AWAY!!

I took this professor because of his high score on rate my professor. but the score not telling the truth. hardest class I have ever taken. I put in so much work just to barely pass. I had no life outside of this class. He had an unbelievable amount of homework. All of it had to be handwritten. I've never wasted much paper in my life.

the exams are the most difficult thing I've ever done. doesn't matter if you get the correct answer. If you don't show your work, the exact way he wants it. he will deduct points and a lot. exams are worth 60% of the grade. homework is 8%. I still did it cause, it will drop down your grade really low if you don't. I was crying the entire semester.

This professor does not have clear grading, nor does he have any compassion for his students. so precise in the way grades. He asks you to show your work in everything. But he doesn't say how wants it to be shown so you end up getting marked down and everything you do. he does not curve your grade or drop your last exam. I regret taking his class.

I took his 6-week online class after already completing calc ab in high school. Since I already knew most of the material is wasn't too difficult, but his videos are very clear and helped me understand the material easily. The group projects are annoying, however, because if someone else doesn't participate you'll get a point deducted.

The best professor to guide you if it's your first time taking calculus! A quiz every week, but you can fix the questions you got wrong and he'll give you all the points you missed back. Tests are not hard IF YOU STUDY. There are a LOT of homework questions, but they will really prepare you for the exams. Don't procrastinate.

Hard to understand. Doesn't understand when students struggle with math. So much work and so little time. Speeds through lectures, lots of partner work with other people that are as lost as you. Ends a lot of note lectures RIGHT before tests within less than a couple of days; so little time to study.

Each day you are in class besides exam days there will be a lecture, so I suggest you make friends in the class that you can notes from if you miss a day. He allows you to turn in anything late and to redo assignments, besides exams, until you get desired grade. Lots of partner work though, but you have a lot of time in class to complete homework.

Semester started off good but as it went on quality of the professor declined. Skims over important sections and doesn't go over problems on homework. Examples in class are very different than what is on the exams and on the homework.

I recommend doing all the homework and if you need help or have questions ask him and he'll be glad to help. He gives good feedback on your quizzes, so you'll end up figuring out how to do the problems that you originally needed help with. Not only that but you get one retake on all of your quizzes so that plus feedback should help.

Moore was an extremely difficult prof. Many peers switched out due to a hard time understanding his lectures/amount of work given. Often, there are projects/hw that aren't gone over in class so you won't understand without outside resources. Group quizzes every week, make friends or you're out of luck!! 2/4 exams were hard, the final is 2 sections.

The lectures are old YouTube videos. The content covered in the lectures are not accurately represented on the tests and the homework is a lot of work. There are 30-50 questions for each section and there are almost 10 sections for each unit. The grading is very unclear as well. I do not recommend this professor and would not take his class again!

Lectures go over basics of concepts. Quizzes and tests consist of extremely difficult/complex ideas or problems that are never reviewed in class or in the homework. Master concepts in your own time or you will fail. Watching tutorials, going to tutoring, and doing Khan Academy are not enough to pass at the current rate. You are expected to fail.

OMG guys he's such a great professor!! There is a lot of work though, but thats just the nature of the course. If you just keep up with the work (watching all of his lecture videos) and the homework, you should be fine. His quizzes and test are not bad at all. He doesn't throw any "curveballs," and its all stuff we have seen before,.

Only take if you've mastered Calculus beforehand and want to test your proficiency. Expect the hardest possible questions based on topics covered for each exam and quiz and be able to apply mastery knowledge on quizzes that can be as close as 1 day after the lesson. Level of difficulty hinder your ability to practice or comprehend the material.

I took his 6-week summer course, which I would not recommend unless absolutely necessary. That being said, his lectures are very clear and straightforward, and the tests are reasonable. He assigns A LOT of hw but it's great prep for the tests which are much easier. I did great on exams w/o studying, just doing the hw which took up my whole summer!

Make sure you are paying attention to the lectures because the homework is a direct reflection of what you just learned. This combo class is split into 2 parts, lecture and then time to do the homework with an assigned partner, with a 10 minute break in between. All assignments, except exams, can be turned in late or redone to get a desired grade.

He will not let you make up group quiz grades, even if you missed class for an important reason. He assigns a lot of homework that has is minimally related to the quizzes and exams. Also, he sometimes wears politically charged t-shirts which can make situations uncomfortable. Would not reccomend.

He failed calc 1 - 3 times not because he isnt smart but because its a hard subject to break ice into. For his class ask questions when you dont get stuff and lean into your peers that understand. He teaches for all learning styles. Extracurricular is mandatory. Group test are hard! Alone test...still pretty tough. Homework do-dont havta finish
