Professor Murugan is one of the best Math Professors, The homework come with unlimited attempts and is due in a week. There is a 6 Quizzes for each module and can be taken at Home. 3 Test and Final, which are so easy since he uses the day before the test to review a packet that is almost identical to the real one. Lots of extra credit is offered.
Great professor. Works lots of examples. Tests are just like his reviews and he will allow you to makeup your work.
The professor teaches what you need to know. He shows you how to use the math. Answers email promptly and will always try to help. Tests are easy if you attend his review. All homework and quizzes online.
Prof Sam is so kind and he really cares about his students especially if he see you trying your best. The reason why I like Prof Sam is because he give you opportunity to fix your exam or any missing homework. I will take him again. He was AMAZING.
Class has 4 Tests and 1 Final, he provides review packets which are exactly similar to the test, 5 Quiz (3 try's) and all Homework (unlimited ) are online in MyMathLab. Extra Credit is provided every Test and for the Final. The Professor provides a document of all notes he has taken during the class. He told us Summer Semester is much easier
The professor breaks everything down in detail and explains the material very well. He also allows us to start the homework in class so that we don't have to worry about it at home. The tests and quizzes are clear and as long as you study and do your work you'll pass with an excellent grade.
i would totally recommend this class to my peers because the professor is passionate about the class and it ensures that most if not all students understand the content. He makes sure everyone understands the problems and makes sure everyone is on the same page. Assignments are easy as long as you pay attention and do your work.
Professor is well organized and explains concepts well. Makes sure you understand how to solve problems. Hw and quizzes are okay and he will work with you if you have a problem. Reviews for the tests are helpful. Great teacher.
Professor Murugan is definitely one of the best math professors I've had. His main goal is for you to succeed and he's always understanding when it comes to homework and extra credits.
I am currently still taking this class but this professor is so good that I know I'm going to pass Business Calc with him. He ONLY wants you to pass and you actually get the information he explains! This is coming from a person who HATES HATES HATES HATES MATH I hate it so much but he makes things more clearer than a sheet of glass.
easy A !!
Mat-1033c intermediate algebra was my first ever on campus class Ive ever took. Intermediate Algebra is not my best subject. He is a great professor that teaches very well especially with lectures, gives homework that actually helps, and gives many opportunities to pass the class. Notes are thorough, gives out practice test almost exactly like test
Murugan is my absolute favorite. He makes the class funny and interesting. At times he can go a little fast but if you have questions he will answer them. The tests are VERY similar to the practice tests so make sure you do those. Even the practice for the final was similar to the actual final. I 10/10 recommend taking him before his class fills.
Although Im not good at math and dont really like it, professor Murugan made it easier for me. Hes a great teacher and always prepares you for the test. I recommend him 100%!
Professor Murugan is funny and makes learning math as fun as it can possibly be. He gives you all the resources you need to pass his class like practice test that are very similar to the actual test. i 100% recommend you take this course with professor Murugan.
Professor Murugan is honestly one of the best math professors you can take. He is very nice, very clear when explaining different lessons, and he sends the notes from every class to every student. He truly just wants all of his students to succeed and does an amazing job of teaching.
Whilst my review is for his calculus level class, I also had this professor for regular college algebra. He is an amazing professor to get along with. I understand math very easily and he's very easy for me to follow along. He is very friendly and entertaining when you get to know him, he drops your lowest quiz grade and is very caring for you.
Professor Murugan is a Professor that cares about his students well being inside and outside of the classroom. His lectures are not only funny but come across as really clear because he has a love for teaching and math. Anytime I ever had a question I would email him and he would respond within minutes, all professors should be like Sam Murugan!
If math isnt your strongest subject (or even if it is) this is the best professor to take math with. hes very thorough in teaching the lessons and makes everything so much easier for his students. guides you through the tests and quizzes so as long as you pay attention, show up and take good notes, youll pass with an A! (hes also pretty funny)
Such a easy and fun class. Very straight forward and always available to help with anything that you don't understand. Test are straight forward and what we learned in class. Gives study guide to take test and lots of extra credit.
I took this class and the professor was very helpful and made the work easy so if you take this class you will definitely pass. I will recommend this professor for anyone looking to pass this class in flying colors. The great thing when we have test he goes over it with you. This is a handed A with this Professor.
The class was pretty straight forward, and he was a pretty good teacher. Only critique is that he talks pretty fast, but he doesnt really notice so when you ask him to slow down he will. All the work is pretty easy and hes willing to work with you.
Overall a pretty good professor. For someone that worried about Calculus being difficult, he made it pretty easy and straightforward. His tests and quizzes are easy because he provides great notes, lectures and study guides. They are also very accessible to find afterwards if you happen to miss a day.
Professor Murugan is a great professor that loves what he does. I took College Algebra this semester and he makes it seems easy and not stressful at all. I recommend you to take any of his classes. If you do all the homework and the exams you will be fine.
Professor Murugan is a great Professor. I dont like math very much, but this course with Professor Murugan was a very helpful and successful course. I will be taking my next math course with him again. I started physical classes and ended up having online due to the coronavirus. Highly recommend!!! Hes very helpful and understanding.
he actually teaches ! Im not the best at math but I was able to understand literally everything!!!! HMW and quizzes are done at home and he gives great study guides for his tests !
Professor Murugan is such a nice teacher. If you play close attention to his lectures you'll understand the lessons/topics he's teaching. He gives enough time for his students to complete assignments. If you wait too long to complete then you will fall behind. If you need help with anything, he is there. I highly recommend choosing his class.
He is the best professor ever. I had him 3 times for different math and passed with an A. He is an amazing person and very understandable. Love this professor.
What an outstanding professor. I personally have a history at being awful at math (considering, with a different prof, I failed MAT 1033C with an F!) but this man makes calculus easier for you and you still learn it! I think you should take him for every math class he offers at poinciana campus!
I took Professor Murugan in the fall of 2019 semester for intermediate algebra and now for college algebra he hasn't changed. Amazing teacher, knows the course well, and very forgiving. Took this class during the Corona Virus situation and he provided videos, extra credit, and raised grades. Course is not difficult, do the work and come to class.
Professor Murugan is a great professor! He is patient and understands that you may not get the material so he will re-explain when needed. The shift from FacetoFace to Online was a difficult transition for most but Murguan was able to provide very useful links to videos of every lesson and provide extra credit when needed. Show up to class.
He makes notes for each section using homework problems, gives review questions for quizzes and final exam. During face to face contact, he would teach the section very simple and understandable, but you have to pay attention because he moves fast. In the end, with his lessons and notes, I was able to do the assignments with ease.
4 Big Units with a Test for the first 3 and the 4th is the Final Exam Review, Homework as usual unlimited attempts in MyMathLab, Quizzes unlimited attempts exactly like the test. The Professor write notes for each lesseon of the material he covered in every class meeting and sends you a pdf copy. The Final is easy as well as the rest of the class.

When we moved to online because of Covid I was really worried. But the professor made the online part just like he was teaching in class. Videos and notes that show eactly how to do the work and understand it. He extended the hw a few times to make sure we got the work done.
I took Professor Murugan for MAC1105 (summer 2020) and WOW he was an amazing professor. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic our classes were moved to an online mode. I was skeptical about taking an online math class but professor Murugan was very thorough in his lectures and his notes were extremely useful. I would take this professor again!!
Wow I Took this Professor over the Summer was very unsure about an online Algebra class but he provided videos, notes and very clear examples in order for you to complete your work. I would definitely take this professor again. Seriously this is a guaranteed A in you do the work. if any questions he will answer on time. no disappointments.
I can tell you that you will be pass if you take this Professor. I took him online and it was a great experience. Hes a great guy an caring. He will give you enough time to take every exams, test and assignments. Yes I mean it. Hes that good.
Going into statistics I was worried since I do not do well in math This class was surprisingly easy Professors lectures were clear and he explains everything very well The lectures were also a guideline to the homework and tests As long as you watched the videos, which are not long, you will pass with 100% Highly recommended this professor
Professor Murugan is a great teacher & I would highly recommend anyone to take his class! I'm taking his class during COVID and his class isn't hard. He gave a good amount of work for each week. There's a total of 3 tests & 4 quizzes. He teaches by prepared video lectures explains content in easy to understand way. He is willing to help you!
Professor Murugan was a great teacher. The videos were helpful and understandable. He replied on time and graded the assignments rather quickly. Some of the material in the class were somewhat hard to understand but with practice youll be able to grasp the concept. Would recommend if you focus on your work and do not procrastinate.
One of the best professors I have ever had the pleasure of taking in my college career. He is very caring and very understanding and makes the course load very easy on students through the resources he provides. You just have to do your work and give a little bit of effort. Trust me I am horrible at math. Murugan rocks!
Professor Murugan is one of the best math professors out there. His online course is clear and to the point. He has a very well organized structured course. You will pass as long as you do all your work and follow his guided video lectures and notes. The course hw and test are mirror images. He is highly recommended.
I absolutely LOVED this course. I took this over the Summer, and never would have DREAMED I'd get an A. He goes over everything in the notes, and explains everything in a way that you'll understand. He does a review for every quiz and test as well so there is nothing that will surprise you. TAKE PROFESSOR MURUGAN you will not regret it!
I took his college algebra class for the condensed summer semester, it was relaxing. All the lessons were laid out and taught in full detail. He doesn't punish learning and has unlimited homework attempts till the deadline. Drops the lowest scores for your assignments, and surprised us all by reactivating every past module the week of finals.
I have taken Professor Murugan for multiple mathematics classes (both online and in class) and HIGHLY recommend him. He is awesome at explaining/showing you how to work out the problems (via Youtube videos if taken online). He shows you the long way and short way in finding the right answer. He is very good at responding if you have any questions.
I took this professor during the summer term and COVID and he was fantastic. I am terrible with online classes but this professor is really great and I recommend you take him if given the chance. Do not take anybody else, take him! He drops the three lowest homework grades, one quiz and he is always willing to help if you email him. Not proctored.
Amazing professor, extra credit opportunities everywhere and easily accessible. If you need help, he will respond within hours which is incredible, it really shows the commitment that he has to make sure everyone is doing good. He records himself solving very similar questions to what he assigns as homework, so as long as you follow along, amazing.
I don't like math, but I loved this class. Mr. Murugan really cares about his students and made learning online a breeze. He makes videos for each lesson so you're not teaching yourself. A few homework assignments every week, but they only have a few questions each.
Recommend 100%, Really Great !
This class is super easy that there is no way to fail this class. Intermediate Algebra is not that hard, but some people struggle with math in general. Fortunately, Professor Murugan provided recorded lectures helping you understand how to solve problems. As for the homework itself, the recorded lectures are based off of the work. Good luck!
There are weekly assignments that are easy if you follow the notes given along with the subject. The tests are open notes which makes them exponentially easy if you are already good at math or are able to follow the methods as well as there being no mandatory zoom meetings, just module videos going over the subjects for that week with examples.
I really liked this professor. all homework assignments are easy A's and the tests and quizzes give you 3 tries and he always provided extra credit opportunities on the exams.
I took College Algebra with professor Murugan and I totally recommend him. He explains the subject very good, extra credits, fair amount of homework and tests. He is very nice and I would totally recommend him. Take him for any math class and you won't regret.
Professor. M is amazing he gave lectures but he was always clear with them and he allow us to have a guide during quizzes and test to make it helpful for us, he is caring and respectful I did also have him for Intermediate algebra and the issue was the homework because a few questions weren't really similar college algebra was more understanding.
He the best teacher I've ever taken for math, if you are bad at math TAKE HIM!!! I've never gotten an A before on any math test and with him it was possible. He lets us use his notes for tests and if you study it and do your home work you will do AMAZING. I took online, not sure about in person but he's great at help and feedback too.
I was scared for this class since I am not the best at math but it was so easy to pass. He always gave extra credit and took off the worst test score you got. The work was decently easy and I think whoever is reading this should take his class. I got a 95 in the class and no stress!
Prof. Murugan is a great professor. His lectures were comprehensive and clear and tell you what you need to know for the homework, quizzes, and tests. He provided reviews for exams, which are very similar so you know what to expect. When I emailed him for help, he was quick to answer. He provided extra credit. I recommend this professor.
Professor Murugan was amazing. I took this class online, if you watch his videos and do the work there is no reason for you not to pass. There are 4 test and a final, he makes study guides that have questions that are similar to the test. Use the study guide and you will pass the test. He is helpful and does a lot to ensure you pass. Received a 102
I would marry him. I suck at math and got an A. Videos are super easy to understand. 2-3 HW assignments are assigned every week but super easy some times its homework and a quiz. Only exams use honor lock not the quizzes. There's 3 exams and a final exam. He extends dead lines and super understanding and even let me retake the final.
Awesome teacher! Seriously cared a lot about his students and the class environment altogether. Hes very understanding, so make sure to communicate with him. HonorLock was used only for exams, you get 3 tries at quizzes, and multiple tries with homework. If you need help, dont hesitate to ask Professor Murugan! Good luck!
His class was based on videos for each topic of the chapter and each exam was based on each chapter. His lessons were very well explained through video, which allows us to go back when we needed, and the assignments were fairly easy to do after seeing each video. He was a very responsive and supportive professor and would recommend him 100%
Hes a really good teacher. He gives you a lot of chances to do your work and even catch up. He even gives study guides which in my opinion is very helpful especially during exams. I would definitely take another class with him again.
Professor Murugan is nothing short of AMAZING! Although, math is my VERY least favorite subject, he was very thorough. Professor Murugan was always available if you have any questions. Do your work, submit your work on or before deadline and you will be just fine. He also gives extra credit if he sees you try and make an effort. Why wait? Sign up
He makes the class very easy to handle to make sure you pass and learn at the same time. Not much homework and also not too hard. He gives you several chances to raise your grade. No reading, just super helpful notes he literally goes over with you during class and even lets you use on tests plus the exam. He's also very friendly and funny.
Professor Murugan truly cares for his students and is dedicated to making sure that you succeed. Just watch the lecture videos and turn in your assignments. Easy A...
Assignment structure is the highlight. Every chapter has around 1-5 parts to complete, with some having as few as 4 questions but usually around 15-25 (numbers not exact). Due dates are spread out, so LOTS of time to work. Quiz questions are extremely similar to chapter tests. Study the quiz, you'll pass the test. Honorlock + webcam tests.
Calculus is one of those subjects where everyone inevitably dreads to take and hopes they hit the lottery when it comes to easy A classes. Professor Murugan is probably the closest you can ever get to receiving an easy A while also getting the necessary learning experience when taking his course. 1000/10 would recommend to anyone looking to learn.
Professor Murugan is absolutely my favorite professor. I took him online for MAT1033/Intermediate Algebra. His material is easy to learn and everything is literally given to you. There are 33 Homeworks, they range from 5-20 questions. Then there are 6 quizzes and 5 tests. For tests, he gives you the study guide, the question exactly the same.
Prof. Murugan will tell you exactly what you need to pass his class. Follow his lectures and DO the work. I have taken two of his classes already, going for my third. I cannot see myself learning math from another professor. He is also available through his phone, feel free to text him when you need help. A MUST TAKE PROFESSOR.
He is a great teacher, he gives plenty time and opportunity to finish your assignments! Took him twice and both times a good experience.
Such a nice person! Learning with him was a great experience!
This prof is a gem. I would take 10 more courses with him if I could. He is super understanding, and gives us great reviews for each chapter.
He gives great resources! He has reviews that are the types of problems youll see on tests. Explains homework well and will stay after class to help you! Lots of opportunities for extra credit. I ended the class with a 101.46%. Hell offer retakes if you need but its not Leila you will. One of the best profs Ive ever had! Always positive too!
He easily explains the material
He is a great professor! He gives you nothing but opportunity so its impossible to fail. You can make up all assignments if missed, hes very understanding and gives detailed noted and examples.
If you not sure which professor to take, just TAKE HIM! I was so scared of this class and professor murugan was a BLESS. I am writing this review not only for other students but for the professor to know how his dedication to the class and students helped me. There were not one single time I asked for help and I was not helped. Im GRATEFUL.
This was my third class with Professor Murugan and I would definitely take a fourth! He cares about his students success and really tries to accommodate to students when they are in need. I definitely recommend you take this class.
I am pretty good at math but his videos made the class even easier, I was able to finish his class a month early and it was a summer course. He uses honor lock but that isn't much of a problem. There's 4 tests with a practice quiz for each one that are basically exactly the same except for different numbers. The homework's have unlimited try's.
Do anything you can to get him he is amazing!!! He does videos to guide you thru the homework and the way he explains the problems in his videos are so clear is impossible not to understand and get a good grade. He also does reviews for the quizzes and test which is really helpful. Really there is no way you cant get a good grade with him.
I had Professor Murugan over Summer Term 2021. Excellent teacher with an easy-to-follow course. Do the homework and the test reviews and you will pass with an A. I spent, on average, around 4 hours/week working on this course. 10/10 would take again. Thanks for a great semester!
I took this class in the summer for one of my last math credits. Lets just say Im not that good at math but this professor was very helpful. Keep up with your work and do your assignments on time.
Great professor, gives you a bunch of examples in his lectures, his reviews for tests are easy to follow along, they are closely similar. He gives you a bunch of opportunities to catch up and get a better grade. I say he's a genuine teacher who cares about our education.
This is the second course I've taken with Prof Murugan. His lectures are clear and he really wants the entire class to succeed. There is an easy extra credit opportunity on the final exam. If you want a fair chance at earning an A in this course I would definitely recommend him!
I've been struggling with College Algebra for a while. Didn't know what the out come will be. But with dedication and a great Professor like Mr. Sam. There's hope. Dont get me wrong you must do the work to be successful. But he has amazing lay out with his teaching. Take him.
Professor Murugan was easily my favorite math teacher. He was very accepting of my situation with the hospital and gave me extra time to complete assignments. There were two assignments a week with roughly 10 questions each, 2 quizzes, and 3 tests total (honorlock on tests). The study guides prepare you well for tests! Take Him! Very stress-free.
Prof Murugan is a caring professor who WANTS to see you do well. He is very understanding and will work with you so you can do your best to succeed in the class. Make sure to take advantage of his test reviews!
Proff. Murugan is a legend. He is my favorite proff on campus. Recorded lectures and hw reviews. 2-3 hw each week, same questions as the reviews. HW unlimited attempts, tests 3 attempts, exam 1 attempt and proctored by Honorlock. You can use his notes for the test. Take him and you won't regret it.
I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR. His lectures were so easy to understand (a little long tho, up to an hour). His reviews/quizzes are identical to the test which was really helpful. The tests did have honorlock but they were usually short around 10 questions. He gives several chances for extra credit and gives a lot of extensions! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Great class, highly recommend if you need a class that isnt to much to handle.
Professor Samuel Murugan, has been an inspiration to me. His way of teaching is clear and interesting, and his way of communicating with his students is respectful and caring. Take this class and get inspire by this Professor's passion of teaching and guiding our minds to the next level. Thank you for everything you do Professor, you are a GEM.
Professor Murugan was a great teacher. I was in a mixed mode class so I would see him once a week in person. He will teach you the HW question by question on mymathlab. He gives plenty of guides for HW, quizzes, and tests so you will always be prepared. He also offers plenty of extra credit and will take away your lowest graded assignments.
Professor Murugan teaches concepts that can be very challenging and abstract in a way that makes them seem simple. I absolutely would recommend this course to anyone looking to take business calculus. I have never succeeded in a college level math course as much as I have with Prof. Murugan. I plan on taking him again in the Spring for my STAT2023.
He is a great professor! Makes math seem really easy. All his study guides are very equivalent to the exams. Always have videos to refer to for the lessons. A teacher that loves to see his students pass !!! Would take him again! ( I am )
Im so glad I took Professor Murugan! Its really hard to not pass this class with an A or a B. He provides step by step videos for the homework, quizzes, and exams. He lets us use his provided notes for exams that help so much . Take him if you can !
Murugans class is easy as long as you do the work. The homework may be a little much sometimes but its usually two homework assignments per week. If you take the notes or even look at them the homework will probably be very easy. Only four tests throughout the course and they have like 10 questions. Hes a nice guy and pretty understanding.
Professor Murugan made statistics so easy I even ended the course with a grade of 101.27 due to extra credit and great lectures. Mr. Murugan only gives you work that is necessary and explains everything thoroughly that will be on quizzes and exams so nothing is ever a surprise.
He is an easy-going professor who can help you on any assignment, late work is allowed but some points may get taken off. The homework even has examples you can go off on, he also drops the 3 lowest homework, 1 lowest quiz, test, and show work assignment. The lectures mainly contain him going over the homework or test. He's a respectable teacher.
Best Math professor I have ever had, The lectures and reviews he has up on his course greatly helped me learn the topics in algebra fast. First time I have passed a math class with an A. Just do all of your homework on time and actually study before the tests. The tests are not hard do not let the fact that it is math fool you.
He is the best teacher you can have he makes the class super easy. I am not the best at math and I got an A with him. Do everything you can to get him as your teacher. I took his class online and makes videos solving the problems which make it easier to learn.
Professor Murugan teaches concepts that can be very challenging and abstract in a way that makes them seem simple. I absolutely would recommend this course to anyone looking to take statistics. I have never succeeded in a college level math course as much as I have with Prof. Murugan.
I am not really a math person but this class really made me love math again! He gives really good lecture videos and gives you the information needed to do your homework assignments and quizzes.
Professor Murugan is one of the best, I would definitely recommend his class. His videos are extremely helpful. Quizzes and exam questions are similar. He gives test reviews, pay attention to his announcements but the work is doable and you will definitely learn. Professor Murugan definitely wants you to succeed and you can just apply yourself!
This professor by far definitely exceeded my expectations to having taught college algebra the easiest way possible but also the most understanding way. I would recommend this professor to anyone because he checks up on your work daily but also cares about you as an individual. Thank you again Professor Murugan for an outstanding semester with you!
This Professor will help you to do your best while having fun learning.
Professor Murugan was my favorite Professor so far in my college experience. He makes videos to go with each assignment and quiz. He makes all the questions as clear as possible . He is the most ideal math professor ever.
I would recommend taking Professor Murugan's class for his thorough explanations on the math concepts. In his videos, he teaches exactly what the content will be on the assignments, quizzes, and tests. He is also clear on deadlines, which was helpful for me.
He is great!!!!
First math professor I have actually seriously paid attention to and understood what was saying, will be thing my next math class with him 10/10 recommend
Prof Murugan is great. His lectures are clear and he is very caring of his students. He wants everyone to pass. Tests are honorlock but majority of everything is using MML. I suggest him 100% MAC1105 is not an easy class but he made it easier. I was taking 3 other classes and working full time. The work load was manageable finished with an A
Professor Murugan is easily the best professor I've ever had in Valencia he is very caring and lenient with the grading and work given. The class is very easy, and Professor Murugan makes it even easier. Professor Murugan is always working with students to try and make sure they are successful in the class. I 100% recommend you take his course.
Professor Murugan is very clear about his expectations and makes sure to communicate them with his students. He sends weekly reminders and updates about work, and he is easily accessible by canvas email. I took his class online, where he assigned weekly MyLab assignments that contained helpful examples which served as my primary learning tool
Professor Murugan is great. He cares for each student and loves the subject he teaches. He is very understanding and flexible. He is accessible outside of class and is always ready to help. I highly recommend taking his class.
He would give us quizzes before each exam that even after taking them the max amount of times, he would give us more chances so we knew the material. He also gave us test reviews before each exam and in general, a very nice professor. Homework is a little on the heavy side but it is extremely helpful. I would def recommend him!
He's great, very responsive and present. He tries his best to help students with extra credit and also exam reviews that are similar to the test. I had a good experience is his class and it was fairly easy.
This is coming from a dual enrollment student, this class was super easy, he posted weekly announcements on Mondays for what the work was for the week, due that Sunday. He goes through the assignments in lecture videos and he drops the lowest three HW, one lowest show work activity, and one lowest quiz grade, he is the best teacher you can have.
If you want a professor that want to see student pass take this class. he teaches you the tricks that will help you on your test and home works. he gives a lot of chances just attend class and speak with him. also email him if you have any issues. this is one of the few professors who wants to see everyone pass.
My favorite professor, I recommend him 100%.
Sign up for his class omg. I literally didn't do 13 assignments (including a test + quiz) cause I wasn't feeling good, I still got an A. Homework due Sundays, most can be done on Mathway. Even if you can't, his videos help so much. The quizzes are exactly like the test. The final review is exactly the quiz, easy final. Drops most of ur lowest work
Professor Murugan has been one of my favorite teachers while attending Valencia. His classes are honestly very straight forward and easy to understand. Most of the work is done on mymathlab and the work is due on Sundays which is plenty of time to complete. Take his class, you are guaranteed to pass as long as you do the work!
This is so far one of my favorite professors in college! He really cares about his students and does a study guide for each quiz/test so it's hard to not pass. Gives a lot of extra credit and de drops the lowest quiz, and homework at the end of the semester.
Great Professor. His lectures are amazing and he shows you the exact kind of questions you'll see on the homework. He also does one at the end of each chapter to review for the quiz, which also has the same style of questions as the quiz. There are 1-3 lessons due each week and 4 quizzes and tests. He also drops your lowest quiz grade too.
Professor Murugan was a very good Professor! I highly recommend taking this class. It is very simple and easy to understand. There are 5 tests but each test comes with a review which is very similar to the test making it so that if you can do the review you can pass the test. If you pay attention to the test study guides than you will pass!
Very cool and understanding teacher, he will be there if you need help. He gives great feedback. Class is pretty easy, final was multiple choice.
If your looking to get {A} just register now. This professor actually takes time to teach you and he has video online as a plus if you are behind. He gives you tips and tricks to not fail the class, he makes Math so easy. He's the #1 Math professor. You just need to study a little bit and attend class, there's no way you will fail.
Give him a chance its rare to find professors who give good opportunities for extra credit and give you neat straight forward tips to ace the test. Even as someone who despises math I liked his humor and how straight forward he was with teaching.
He is a great professor! He explains everything very clearly and is very nice. You get multiple tries on homework and quizzes and get review sheets for exams. You also get extra credit opportunities. Highly recommend!
Highly recommended. Professor Samuel Murrgan is a great professor who is very nice and explains everything very clearly. You'll have the benefit of multiple attempts for your homework and quizzes, as well as review sheets for your exams. Additionally, there are extra credit opportunities available.
This professor is great, you can work ahead which is super nice. He gives so much extra credit and responds very quickly.
Professor Murugan was an exceptional teacher who had a great system of teaching and grading assignments. He made us laugh, (sometimes), and was definitely knowledgeable of the materials that he was educating us on.
He is the best math professor at Valencia! I have taken him for both College Algebra and Pre-Calculus (MAC1140) and both were amazing. He really cares about his students succeeding. His lectures completely walk you through how to do your homework and understand each concept. He is very responsive and as long as you do the work you will get an A!
I took him for precalculus algebra (MAC1140).Definitely take this professor. The lectures were very clear and easy to understand. If you put in a few hours a week and really understand the material, you will get a good grade. He uses honorlock for tests but if you do the reviews and quizzes before, then it is easy to get a good grade.
Had a great time taking his class online. Definitely recommend listening to his recorded lectures as he guides through the homework.
great professor! all the modules were posted in advance so you could work on your own pace, and every sunday there was just a few homework assignments to do based on the learning modules. there are many chances to increase your grade, quizzes have multiple attempts and are just like the tests. he is very easy to reach through canvas email.
Professor Murugan was a great instructor. He was very flexible while being an online teacher and made the expectations clear for the class. The class was very neatly organized in canvas, and he was a very quick grader. Overall, the class was great and he was an excellent professor. Definitely recommend taking him if you're looking for a professor.
Great prof. Gives good feedback. Not stressful at all.
If you need MAC1105 and/or MAC1140 please take this professor! Super accessible, well-paced, and very straightforward material. He uses pearson mathlab for every assignment; exams are proctored with honorlock but don't let that scare you. You get plenty of time on the exams and can use provided notes. I highly recommend any of his courses!
Professor Samuel murugan os the best I ever had for a math I would take his class again and again if I could. The homework and test are so easy he gives lecture videos explaining the homework and gives test reviews to help you practice for the test.
Professor Murugan is truly an awesome professor. I was scared to take calculus since math is not my strong suit, however, his teaching abilities, the video lectures, and the chapter notes all helped me immensely and allowed me to succeed. He answered all my questions immediately; he is your biggest cheerleader & wants you to be successful. 100% rec
Professor Murugan was an amazing I took him twice for beginning algebra and college algebra. He cares about his students and helping to make things easier for them and he is very fast to get in contact with you need him. 10/10 recommend you take his class.
If you are considering taking this class take it with this professor he was amazing and I've taken him for two semesters now. He is a great teacher and very accessible outside of campus. He works with his students to make sure everyone has a chance at passing. So don't hesitate to take this course with this professor!!
Great class! He had notes and a guided video of every lesson, math lab was used which was easy since you can access further help and such to learn the material.
I would not have wanted to have taken this course with anyone other than Mr. Murugan. I was nervous about taking Calc at first, but he made it an informative experience. He allows multiple attempts on homework & quizzes. He offers extra credit and is very responsive over Canva email. He genuinely cares about his students and is very understanding.
Great teacher and makes sure you understand the material w/o rushing through it.
It was a great course, great teacher.
Professor Murugan includes videos of notes, along with pictures of said notes for every lesson. He has review notes before every quiz/test and goes through all problems in them. The final exam, quizzes, and tests were in the same format as the homework, so it wasn't at all unexpected or hard to understand. Extra credit is also offered.
Easy class with 7 main chapters, online videos for each topic (some are slightly long, can skip through) Videos match with quizzes, assignments, and tests. Quick Pearson homework, 3 honor lock tests with prep videos, and 4 extra credit opportunities. The professor drops lowest 3 assignments and 1 quiz grade. Expect an A with minimal effort.
Professor Murugan's MAC2233 course was one of the easier math courses I have taken so far, not because the material was easy but because of how easy he made learning the material. If you take this course, do the reviews, the homework assignments and the quizzes multiple times, you shouldn't have an issue passing any of the exams/tests.
TAKE Him, the only "bad thing" was the attendance. you only get 2 "excused" but they're still graded. the tests are on honor lock though. i'm bad at math and it is very manageable because he gives you study guides/ reviews that you can use when taking the tests.
I wish all professors were like Mr. Murugan. His quiz really prepares you for the test and final test. He is an awesome teacher. He replies super fast and answered all my questions. I would take him for sure.
We had 2 homeworks due every Sunday. Sometimes there'd be a quick show your work question. Quizzes taken before the test and are VERY SIMILAR. He gives a review of the test with a video that covers it. Tests are proctored but you're allowed to use notes. He dropped some of our lowest grades at the end as well. Very understanding. Great Professor!
Best College Algebra professor, he really does care about us passing the class and explains everything very well. Drops 3 lowest grades at the end of course and he gives extra credit too. If you have the opportunity to have him as your professor, please take him. he is amazing!
Professor Murugan is one of my favorite professors. He has a unique way of teaching, and he is very fair with grades. It is very difficult for anyone to fail his class. He is caring and understands that students can get anxious when taking exams, so he lets students use his test reviews for exams. I learned a lot and I definitely recommend him.
Provides thorough lectures so you can understand lessons. Not too challenging and a very helpful professor!
I usually have a hard time with math courses but this professor was extremely helpful! Not only did we have lessons in class, but all the notes he took in class he posted them on canvas for us to look back to and study. All the assignments were pretty straight forward and they were not overwhelming in the slightest! Amazing professor!
Mr. Murugan was an incredibly nice professor and super easy to work with. His lectures are easy to follow, and he allows you to use your own notes for exams! Whenever I messaged him about an issue I was having, he would respond immediately. Definitely the best math professor I have had yet and would absolutely recommend him to every other student.
Professor Murugan is one of the best professors at Valencia! He is very knowledgeable and kind. If ever you need something, he is very understanding and willing to help. He gives awesome feedback and occasionally creates fun group assignments. There are many opportunities to get your grade up in this course along with extra credit.
Lectures are very thorough, there's also videos of him going over each lesson that are accesible throughout the term. He provides additional notes from his other classes as well to ensure everyone is on the same page. Very friendly professor easy to talk to. I will be taking his class again next term for college algebra .
Amazing math professor, would 1000% take again. He is a great introduction to college math. His teaching is clear and understandable to everyone and works in a way that is universal. He is a great teacher and his class is very easy if you put in the effort. Easy to reach and communicate with outside of class.
Personally I really enjoyed taking the class. I would say he does go a little fast when talking, so just take picture of the board if you are a slow writer. He is very pro-student, super easy to talk to. If you do have any questions he will email you almost immediately.
Professor Murugan is a very good instructor, he explain everything and make it easy to understand.I recommend him because he make it easy to succeed. 10/10
Stop looking for a professor and just take him already! He is absolutely amazing; if you take him online, he might sound mean in his video, but trust me when I tell you he isn't. Professor Sam tries to help you in so many ways, even giving you study guides to help you with the test. He is also accessible after class!
There are reviews for all of the tests that are the same kind of questions as the tests. You can also use the review for the test and other notes. There is also extra credit offered at the end of the course. The assignments for this class were not bad. I would take this professor again.
Easy going and very thorough teaching.
An Amazing Professor breaks down the material for you and goes above and beyond for students
Professor Murugan is an excellent and caring math professor. Quizzes are similar to the test and help ensure you know and learn the material. If you take the time to pass the quizzes (multiple attempts and very similar to the tests) you will leave the class both knowledgeable and happy with your grade.
TAKE THIS CLASS. It is so easy and Mr. Murugan really wants you to pass. There is a ton of extra credit and only a few tests. There is a quiz before every test that is exactly like the test. So take notes and you'll be fine. The tests are 10 questions and honorlocked. There are a few assignments a week with unlimited attempts. Super easy, loved it.
If you struggle with math, definitely take this class. Easy to understand lectures and this professor makes sure your prepared for any upcoming quizzes and test. There is a good amount of homework, but you get plenty of time to do it and you'll never go into a test blind.
Is amazing, gives enough time to complete assignments. Let's you use notes on exams and notes that he makes for exams are able to be used as well. Really nice as well. :)
Mr. Murugan was an amazing professor. If you take him you will find yourself with an easy A if you apply yourself. He gives clear spoken lectures and walks you through on how to do the math. There are quizzes before test that are just like the test and he will gives you notes that you can read through yourself. You will never be lost in this class.
Mr. Murugan he is a great professor he explain everything perfectly and all the documents that he give us to study he explained perfectly if you ask me if I take this class again with the same professor I would do it 100 times I recommend that you take it with this professor I learn a lot with him and he help me a lot.
To all my fellow Student if you're currently reading this, congratulations, you found him. Look no further, so please hurry up before your seat is taken
Easy class, just turn in your homework.
He was a great professor, it was mixed mode course, tests were taken outside of class with honor lock. He reviewed the current weeks assignment each class. Pearson for the coursework and tests. lets you retake until submission date for full credit, homework every week. Easy A if you do your part. Drops the lowest: 1 test, 3 hw and 2 quiz grade
Mr. Murugan is an amazing math professor. He gives clear instructions for all of his assignments and uploads amazing lectures for both online and in-person classes. All of his tests have quizzes that mirror the tests themselves and you can use whatever notes you want on all tests,including the final. I'm 100% confident that you will love his class.
This professor sets you up for success. The way he goes about getting you ready eliminates all test anxiety.
Take time to explain the material. Also gives extra credit for test. At the time of homework unlimited attempts and no due date.
other than attendance is mandatory, he's the best. helps you so much with the tests, took him twice.
Professor Murugan was one of the best professors I've ever taken; for me, his work was simple and easy to understand. We had homework every week, but it was really simple and easy to do if you just put time into it. He gave us review sheets with all the formulas right before quizzes or exams, which made taking the exams and quizzes 10 times easier.
He is an awesome teacher. He teaches very good and if you don't understand and need extra one-on-one help, he will take the time out of his day to help you. He is also is very understanding. He is overall an awesome teacher!
This professor was very clear in his syllabus what he requires if you just follow that your gonna do great in his class. He also is available to answer any questions you need to ask and he responds within 24/48 hours depending on work hours. Overall great professor.
He is a good professor, his learning chapters are really helpful, very clear in his syllabus what he requires, and he is also available to answers questions.
I took an online class during the summer semester. The instructor organized everything really well, making it easy to follow. The work was straightforward, and you are almost guaranteed to pass the class with a high grade. Honorlock was required, but there were always quizzes to prepare for the tests. I highly recommend his math classes.
I thought it would be difficult to take math online but, he made it very easy. The lessons (videos) range from give or take an hour to 30 minutes. He is clear with instruction and his lessons; everything you need to know will be there in the videos and notes. It's all very organized and clear on what you need to do each week. Would take him again.
This professor will make sure that you are able to complete your work in a manner that is convenient for all students to get it done very quickly during class time.Therefore, it leaves students with time to themselves outside of class to not have to worry about homework as much. He is a good professor.
Professor Samuel Murugan is a highly understanding and supportive educator who goes beyond teaching to provide invaluable guidance and mentorship to his students.
Mr. Murugan is a great professor, the time he put in his lectures is top notch! I took his class in the summer and it was a good experience. He gives us enough time to do our homework and quizzes. We had like 4 tests including our final exams and he give us practice questions for the tests which prepare us for them! Definitely take him!
The professor makes the class very manageable, with well-organized lessons and ample support. Using unstuckstudy alongside the provided resources has been incredibly helpful for my study prep. Definitely would recommend this class.
He's a sweet teacher, and I would recommend him. He doesn't do PowerPoint, he does the work with you( helped a lot). My only issue with him is that he's very dry- like I loved him, but sometimes his way of teaching became very boring to me. Other than that, his class is very easy and it's almost impossible to fail unless you're not doing the work
His lectures are very thorough, he takes the time to make sure everybody understands the material. He provide videos in addition to Notes. And he is always willing to help if you're struggling to understanding a assignment. I have taken him for two classes ,I'm praying that I can take his class for statistics as well .
I had Prof, Murugan for College Algebra and Calculus and he's an amazing professor. He is understanding and his reviews/quizzes are exactly like the test, so no surprises. He uses honorlock for the exams but it wasn't that big of a deal for me personally. I would take him again, easy A.
The class is very easy just pay attention and you will receive and A.
Professor Murugan has been one of my favorite professors at Valencia. Homework is manageable and he explains algebraic concepts clearly in his lectures. The test material is identical to the homework problems, and he reviews the test problems in class as well. I'd highly recommend taking his course, especially if you're math averse.
He have a good teaching style and discuss all of the topics about the assignment in class to help you complete the homework. Overall a good teacher
Honestly, If u are looking for a professor that will make your life simple, this is your guy. The way that ALL of your homework and labs are part of your test is my favorite part. Nothing that you learn goes unused. All you have to do is just pay attention and then you are set.
Professor Murugan, is an easy instructor and he did not make anything difficult for me. I look forward to taking him for college algebra next semester.
Took this professor in person and it was the best class I had registered to. Good caring math professors are hard to come by, he definitely cares about his students success and the way he teaches is very thorough and easy to understand with all the helpful tips he gives. Goes out of his way to print out exam reviews for us and homework notes.
Tests and Exams were very easy
Professor Murugan is such a wonderful professor. He is extremely thorough, understanding, and genuinely cares about his students. He offers extra credit and also drops the lowest homework and quiz grade for the semester- which is definitely a plus. I would definitely recommend his class and would take him again for other math courses as well
He is very kind and understanding. The assignments are easy and he grades well, even dropping your lowest test score. He's good at communicating and will answer emails in good timing. Do not be late or absent, though. 10/10 recommend.
Professor Murugan is a great teacher. Explains everything very well and so easy to pass his class. You don't have to be really good at math to have an A in his class.
I would say that the way he teaches made this the easiest class of the semester. If you show up to class he'll teach you how to do the work, do examples, and then the homework. Overall great professor, no issues at all. He also posts notes online if you miss class but they can be difficult to understand, so just show up to class.
This professor had great lectures, his grading is precise and efficient. He helps you to be in engaged in his lectures and answers any questions you have either during the lecture or after. To ensure that you understand and can pass his class he wants you to ask questions if you have them.
Professor Murugan is a great teacher. His teaching style and dedication to helping students pass the course is truly remarkable. He solves all math questions with the class, posts course material in Canva and drops the two lowest homework grades and one lowest quiz grade. So, if you are looking for an easy math course , this is the class for you.
Professor Murugan is a good teacher and made understanding the material a lot easier. His modules are simple and have a decent workload and his explanations were really helpful. Overall, a great professor for this course.
This class had homeworks and sometimes tests and quizzes due every sunday. However the assignments did not take that much time and if your decent at math they can be done in one sitting. He had videos on how to do each lesson and notes as well, the notes were very helpful and the structure of the class was well organized.Would definitely recommend!
I would advise anyone to take this class. He's a great teacher, and understanding, always available if you need his help. His program is well organized and he is very explicit.
His online class is perfect for busy students. Engaging YouTube videos provide valuable insights, and using an E-textbook and additional resources simplifies learning. Unlimited homework attempts allow error correction and learning through practice, while clear grading criteria and prompt email responses, support, and motivation.
I would recommend Professor Murugan. Great semester , easy class, explained in details. Test are HonorLock. There is a video for every class and quiz, as well extra credit.
He has an accent, is monotone, and can go really fast when teaching, but he is very caring and sweet. Please do not sit where he will block the board; sit in the middle. Tests, quizzes, and HW are all very similar to what he teaches in his lectures. Allows notes for tests, which are also proctored. Will drop your lowest test grade. Easy class !
Professor Samuel Murugan was a great instructor. The class has a moderate amount of assignments. Tests will be weighed heavily. Make sure to study and read the modules and you will succeed in the class. Exams are honor locked. Quizzes are not. You have two attempts on quizzes. Highest score is kept. Lowest quiz score in the class is dropped.
Coursework was a bit difficult, but he always clarified and corrected questions if they were worded weird. He did the hw with us in class as practice, so if you attended, you would know how to solve the problems if you took notes. Honorlock is used but he's very understanding about technical issues.
He is a good professor.
The homework and exams are pretty easy, nothing too hard. He's very kind to all the students and always ready to help. He explains everything clearly and answers any questions. It's honestly a pleasure to learn with him!
Sam gave clear instructions and provided many materials to help with homework and tests. We had notes in class then he would post the notes for those who missed it on canvas. He also made review guides for when the tests came and helped us go over the problems and explained everything on any questions we had. Overall, a great teacher.
This class was great! It was easy to follow, and all the problems in the homework were on the test. The professor allowed you to use notes during the test and gave extra credit and dropped some grades if you completed the extra credit. The notes on Canvas made the class easy, which helped greatly.
Professor Murugan literally changed my mind on how
This class was amazing! Literally changed how I view college classes. He set the tone in the very beginning and allowed the class to feel calm, and comfortable. No crazy amounts of work, and the way he explained how every concept, and simplified math equations is like no other! Everyone needs to take a class with him.
This was one of the best courses I've taken! It was easy to navigate and follow along for each module. His test reviews practically mimicked what would be on the test, which he also allows you to use your notes, too. The Professor drops a few grades by the end of the semester & offers extra credit. I honestly wish all of my classes were like his.
Goes over through every question of the homework every lecture. Only took two test, both open notes and he gives you a study guide that is the exact same. The midterm and finals are in person but are easy. He does have one quiz on each chapter but they are the same has the homework and its online.
Amazing teacher! - Every test is open book, including the Final exam (He gives a review sheet too) - Around 2-3 my lab assignments a week - Post the notes after class every day - Attendance is graded but if you email him stating you can't go he will excuse it. - Drops lowest test and 2 lowest homework. - Accepts late work until the last week.
He is a very good professor , I enjoyed my 2 semesters with him , I learned a lot.
I took Prof. Murugan and class was great! The class is mostly online based as all the assignments are on myMathLab and per week the assignments range from 1-4 with the 4 usually including the weekends where there was a test and quiz as well. Most tests are online and non-proctored with 1 test, midterm, and final required in-person.
Amazing professor, can genuinely say id take his class again with no hesitation. Two big test in the semester & both were open notes, he gives you all the tools you need to pass. Im horrible at math & can confidently say hes the first professor ive ever actually understood.
He could be fast at times but he really explains how to do the math very well. He assigns 2 homework assignments every week but he goes over every question in class so it's not hard. For the mid term and final he gave us a packet to review as a class and we could use it for the day of the final so that was really helpful.
Professor Murugan is an amazing instructor! If I could take all of my math classes with him, I would! He sincerely cares about teaching and it shows every day. He explains concepts clearly, is kind, and makes seemingly difficult topics easy to understand. If you have the opportunity to take his class, PLEASE DO! You will be happy that you did.
I would definitely say that this instructor helped me understand and feel comfortable in algebra. I do recommend taking this class because it is a nice and healthy environment where you'll learn and feel safe. The assignments are easy to do and the notes he gave us come in handy and are very useful.
He's a very great professor, someone who's passionate about mathematics, you will enjoy mathematics by having him as your professor, and you will learn more than expected in his class.
I really liked this class, it was easy, we had a maximum of 3 tasks per week andIf I'm not mistaken, we did 5 tests he always gave us a quiz before the test to practice, we don't use textbook but it is always available, on the homework page and that is paid, pay attention and do everything assigned and you get an A. He allows notes in the tests
Honestly he was so kind and his instructions were always very clear so it's hard to misunderstand. He is very understanding too and i would take his class again if I needed to.
Professor Murugan was great! He always explained the lessons in-depth with lots of examples but never overcomplicated the process. He uses Pearson for all the work and allows desmos calculator on tests. The class I took with him was also just easy to understand. Regardless, awesome teacher!
Great and friendly professor! He is open to students' honest feedback. Explains course material very clearly, and lectures are very understandable. He gives easy to understand coursework and homework. Highly recommend this class!
Professor Murugan is an excellent instructor. He explains each concept step-by-step and makes even the more challenging material easy to understand. His recorded walkthroughs are incredibly helpful, especially for visual learners who need to see the process in action. I truly appreciated his teaching approach and highly recommend his class.
This professor was nothing short of a blessing!! Math can be very hit or miss depending on the teacher, but he made this class wonderful. Reasonable amount of homework and tests. He provides lots of notes so you know exactly what you're getting into on tests. If you use his recourses, you will 100% pass + learn. Would take again, sad it's over!!
This professor is clear, straightforward, and genuinely helpful. He keeps the class upbeat with his humor and creates a positive learning environment. The workload is balanced—never too heavy or too light—and he's always understanding and willing to support you however he can.
he was very fair with grading, overall it was a good class i would definitely take his class again
Best math professor ever.
Very fair professor willing to work with you.
Professor Murugan was great, the class is very straightforward as everything is on Pearson, he walks you through all of the assignments in class. 100% would recommend his class.
This teacher only wants his students to succeed. He will take out your lowest test score, quiz score, and 2 homework to help your grade. Also the review he gives before the test is very similar to the actual exam. He will not hesitate to help you out if you don't understand something and is one of the BEST math teachers I ever had!
Nervous about stats? Take Prof. Sam Murugan. I had him for hybrid STA2023 and it became the best math class I've taken. Clear, kind, teaches to the homework and exams, drops low scores. I finished with 102% and real confidence. Do the work and you'll excel.
Easy class, he gives lectures on each of the homework and makes it super clear to follow. Midterms and finals, he provides a cheat sheet for the exam, and it's pretty much a 1 to 1 of the exam. It's a super easy class; just put in the effort, and it's impossible to fail.
Professor Murugan is an excellent instructor who explains material clearly and makes class engaging and enjoyable. He creates a supportive learning environment and genuinely cares about his students' success. I learned a lot in this course and would definitely take another class with him again.
