TEACHER IS HORRIBLE. His homework online is very annoying. Homework and notes do not match up. Very sarcastic and not funny. Full of himself wears tight shirts is very lazy. My advice do not take this teacher.

I took him last semester and he was beyond difficult. He does not explain anything properly. His exams, are 3 chapters at once! Basically you need to cover over 150 pages. Gives NO STUDY Guide on what will be on the test, just notes. I am taking Stats at LAVC and am passing with an A right now. Do not take him, find another professor. Not EASY!

I took him over a year ago or so. He was very difficult, math is not my strongest sub so I had to drop. Took it with another Profe, and passed with an A. I put my time, I studied hard and did not pass either of his 2 tests. I hold a 3.8 GPA and I struggled with him. Find another Profe.

Took him for Pre-calculus, very hard teacher. Said that more than half the class will fail, and always picks on people. He thinks he is a comedian and will call you out. Most Importantly his HW does not match the test what so ever!

Save your GPA or prepare to have a W. I studied, A LOT, went to the math lab, did the HW, showed up to class,and I could not pass his first 2 exams. I had to drop, and I devoted a ton of time to his course. Rude,smug, not helpful. Took Stats this semester with a new prof, and guess what? Got an A. I saved my 3.85GPA but took a W.

Ever wonder why there is always space in his class? No, it is not because it is a internet class. The reason is, he is a poor teacher. His tests are difficult, do not match with the HW. If he is your last option, do not, i repeat, do not take him. Wait a semester, and save your money. He tells the class most will fail or drop. Great motivator, NOT!

Makes simple topics unccesarily hard. My class currently has a d average and on tests we average a high F. Absolutly unreasonable. Avoid at all costs!

DONT TAKE!!!!!! I am an A student. I understand in most classes you need to work hard to get good grades. BUT This is one of the worst professors I have ever had. If the class misbehaves he will assign a pop quiz immediately and give you less than two minutes to complete it. On material you JUST learned. SAVE YOUR GPA and run away far far away

Do not take his class!!!! He is the worst professor in whole Moorpark college. He likes to fail people. He shows that he gives fare tests but it's all lie. He misses topics and picks only the hardest question possible. He teaches with his dumb iPad. Never reply to emails on time and don't expect any help from him in his office hours or in class.

By far the worst teacher I have had in college. He does not explain, he makes you go home and learn yourself then come to class and tell him what you learned. Stats is hard as it is and he barely helped. When you ask questions he responds with a question and barely helps explain whats going on. I would not take him ever again!

don't take him. I am a good student, with solid grades. Not the best at math, but not bad. Tom will completely break your spirit. He is condescending, and rude. Not a good leader, or teacher. best of luck to you should you decide to take his class.

I can't imagine any prof being worse than Tom. Tests don't feel like they accurately reflect the material taught in class and almost feel like they're set up to be near impossible. His philosophy seems to just assume you're a complete idiot until you can prove otherwise. Save your GPA and avoid like the plague.

Cool guy but the way the class is ran is ridiculous

this is my second time writing a review, my first one didn't get approved. please do not take this professor if you care about your GPA or sanity. I am a straight A student and had to drop his class this semester to save my GPA. he is rude, arrogant, literally does not care at all about his students, and the amount of homework he gives is insane

I do NOT recommend this class!!!! It's not so much the material but the way the class is run. The hybrid classes require INSANE amount of homework. You CANNOT have a job and be taking other difficult (or even mediocre) classes and succeed in this class as well. I kid you not, the homework would take me 10 hours to do & i still wasn't learning much!

Very tough grader, even with correct answers he'll take off points for notation. no calculators allowed either. Nice and helpful one on one when asking questions but the tests will eat your class grade alive if you're not careful. If you already don't like math, avoid, this class will make you hate it more.

He uses My Math Lab (google it), he'll make you feel stupid for asking a question, he'll find some way to take points off your exam answers, his exams don't even follow the HW assigned in My Math Lab. I swear, he takes joy in the misery of his students. I knew he was trouble on day 1, but I stuck through and now I have a W for it. Better than an F.

AVOID THIS PROFESSOR BY ALL MEANS!! i chose to ignore all the bad reviews and took this class with him as the instructor. nope, bad idea. Im typically a good student who does a good job handling the work load but this class/ professor changed all of that. i never want to see this mans face again and its only the 7th week of the semester.

I showed up to class, studied, got a tutor, took notes, and got a C in the class. Never again.

His tests are so hard and nothing like the practice exams/handouts. He takes off points on the test for the smallest things it's impossible to know what he expects from you for each problem. If you're even 1 minute late to class, he gives half an absence. He's very strict about how he wants things done and moves on so quickly it's hard to keep up..

He's a great guy and is extremely friendly once you get to know him but his class was a nightmare. About 40 students signed up for the class and all but 7 dropped. The exams are tricky and tedious and he'll take off points for what seems to be no reason. Expect pop-up quizzes and about 300 modules on pearsonmathlabandmastering. Please do not take!

Typical crossfitter, thinks he's totally cool but really he's super MEAN!! He takes too much pride in crushing my soul Save us all

Just very scary

Please do not take this class. He is one of the worst profs ive ever had. Insanely hard, no help.

Tom clearly very intelligent & knows his material to a T, but he is downright exhausting. His attitude is rude, belittling, & condescending in class. It is clear he was only there for the paycheck. I can't understand why he chose to teach as a profession, he's not there to help anyone. He LITERALLY just wants to be the smartest guy in the room.

Worst teacher ever. Tough grader. Always changes assignments and won't tell you. Hard class the was its ran is awful and confusing. I dont suggest taking his class.

Literally could care less about you. His way of teaching is terrible. Doesnt answer your questions. Is very quick and vague in his lectures. He relies on another teacher to do all the work(gives the same tests and project, makes you watch the other teachers lectures).

Awful teaching style. Does not care about the students. Seems like his style relies on unaddressed childhood issues, almost like he failed at something and wants to take it out on the class. Honestly first math class I ever got a B in, do not take it you will regret. Final is worth 35% tests 50% and quiz 15%.

I wouldn't take him. Honestly, he isn't much of a teacher, he just proctors classes. He has a general disdain for students and isn't very responsive. He makes it very clear that he isn't going to help you out of the start which is nice. Our class quickly dropped students and is almost below ten.

Just a horrible professor. I do not recommend one bit. You dont believe me ? Ok take him youll see. But I warned u.

Unfortunately, I had to take my math class with him last semester but to be honest, he is a nightmare, if you care about your health and GPA, don't go around him

Took this class and let me just tell you, just don't. for the sake of yourself, do not take his class. Worst grader, if it is not perfect you are wrong. Does not respond to emails at all. You use a certain software and it is fine, until you get and 80% on the test, and because your work was not absolutely perfect to his standard, you got a 50%

He does not care about his students understanding material especially with online learning. Uploads lectures, has two office hours thats it. Takes forever to respond to emails, replies sarcastically, and will take points off of tests for not being perfect also does not tell you what you did wrong just takes pts no extra credit no curve stay away!!!

If you have the choice between his online class and state-sponsored torture; I would choose the CIA any day. I took his online class, so to be fair he may be different in person. No zoom meetings. No responses. 5% of your grade is dedicated to a pre-calculus exam designed to weed you out in the first week. Your grade is weighted; Canvas is not!!!!

Surprised Moorpark administration hasn't done anything about him. His grading system is a complete mystery. Fails people if the work wasn't exactly how he envisioned it in his head even if answers are correct. He makes fun of students and does everything he can to ensure the students fail. The average scores on all the exams are 45% or lower.

HE is thee worst Math teacher HE IS A 9-5 TEACHER, he doesnt care if hes good or bad hes just there collecting a check. If youre one where math comes easy to you then ya take the class because youll be able to teach yourself. If math doesnt come easy to you then get ready to sign up for these online websites that can help you.

I would never want to take his class again. Your class work and homework arent worth nothing. And I tried to email him and he doesnt get back. He doesnt even teach, he just post videos from YouTube. I am surprised moorpark hasnt gotten rid of him. There were no zoom meeting or nothing we had to teach are selfs. I couldnt even get ahold of him

The tests were very difficult, the mean grade for them was about 50. There is not a single curve in the entire course. I don't know anything about the professor's personality since it was an online class. If you cannot learn by yourself well I would not recommend taking his online classes. More than half of the class dropped out by the end.

Professor Ogimachi was one of the worst instructors that I have ever had. This was my first semester at Moorpark College and I surely will not forget it due to my experience with this class. He is extremely test heavy and never mentioned the required software for the test (costs money) in the syllabus. Relies on YouTube to teach his students.

Would not recommend ever taking this teacher poor communicator poorly outlined class.

Take heed: He is the worst prof I have ever had. I'm not some angry student who hates math and is biased. I usually do well in math. Tom is the hardest and most unfair grader. Math is right or wrong. My accuracy deserved a B but he didn't like my work and I didn't pass. He hid our grades from us and much of the class dropped. Please stay away.

Very frustrating online class. Expected to spend 20-30 hours a week on this class which is not practical given most students have four other classes. Test are worth 40% of your grade... Also not practical the the whole class fails the first one! Wouldn't take this class. Good luck if you do!

DO NOT IGNORE THE RATINGS LIKE I DID. THIS CLASS IS THE WORST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN. he is by far the worst grader I have ever met; takes off points left and right for not having "correct math diction." The grading scale is crap and there is so much homework. save your time and money. if I could give a zero star rating I would.

This class was a stress-filled nightmare. Doing the homework and studying for 30+ hours doesn't matter at all because of how difficult his exams are, not to mention his incredibly strict grading. If possible, find and choose a different professor.

He is one of the worst professors Ive ever had. His online tests didnt allow for you to come back if your internet went out. This happened to me twice in a row and i failed both of them because of it. In addition, He NEVER responded to any of my emails even though I followed his exact instructions on how to contact him.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR’s CLASS. I have never ever had a worse professor than him. He takes off so many points on exams for missing a single step. It is almost impossible to get good grades on exam because of his tough grading.

Read the reviews! Awful class! The professor doesn't respond to e-mails asking for help and you will spend at least 20 hours a week doing online homework and studying...and then the test comes, which is so far beyond what you had to teach yourself that most people dropped the course. On top of that, tests are done via Proctorio - eyes everywhere!

Doesnt give partial credit on exams

Extremely difficult class. Even though the class was online it was super hard to communicate and sometimes left unanswered. Lots and lots of homework and tests are extremely hard.

Unclear and a very demanding professor. Do not take him if you are uncomfortable with math. He is also not easily accessible outside of class. Furthermore, whenever you ask for help- he is condescending.

Just don't bother taking this class, there are better and easier teachers and graders. I took his class online and there wasn't any actual sufficient lecture about the material, it was only a couple of youtube videos from some random people online doing 1-2 examples and a small breakdown. The materials are given to study are difficult to navigate.

Don't take this professor unless you can teach yourself just about everything. I took it online, and failed it because I had absolutely no help. He never responds to emails. No extra credit. Insane amount of homework with no help at all. Biggest waste of my time ever. Don't take it!

I've gone the entire year and have no idea what this professor looks or sounds like. Not a single lecture has been uploaded, you learn via a textbook copy and paste. If you like to learn alone, with only a textbook, this class is perfect for you! If you need ANY help (or even think you might a single time), this class is a hard pass!

doesn't give partial credit, if you miss one negative at the end of the problem the whole answer is zero. If you are 10 minutes late, that's a partial absense. will grade harsher if he doesn't like you. If you want to do well, kiss his a** and don't ask him anything. very condescending and belittling, especially on the girls in his class

Save yourself. Avoid this class at all costs. Completely self-taught from youtube videos he links to the questions which half of the time do not answer what the homework questions include. Additionally, I signed up for the remote class and we need to go in person 5 times for exams. The workload is the most intense class I have taken.

"Tom" refuses to lecture and instead links youtube videos and a free textbook for you to teach yourself before class. He grades the pre-class problems as a quiz and will give you a 0 if you don't do it the way he wanted (which also includes the book's methods). Homework has nothing to do with the exams and the smallest mistake is points off.

Hey Tom. Let me help you out buddy. Let me reinform you on what you are hired to do my boy. TEACH PEOPLE STATISTICS. How are you gonna be a condesending wank whenever someone tries and asks you a question about YOUR curriculum.

just dont take this class.... go in person... this class is VERY fast paced mixing in pre calc in 2 months and trig in 3. an exam or 2 every month which are REALLY hard even tho its 10 questions. he gives you practice problems like a week before. he gives u like 3-2 hw math assignments most of the time including a quiz and discussion.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!! THIS PROFESSOR IS SO BAD!!!! he posted practice problems before the quiz and one of them wasn't even done correctly. I called him out on it in a message and he responded 5 days after the exam was already over. just does not care about his students it seems.

awful experience never take this class

Bad communication and lack of care for students.

HW difficult and there is always one ridiculously diffiicult question. CW solutions had errors and steps did not make sense. Does not teach at all, just uplaods vague solutions. for ex the factorials steps were al wrong. Takes points off for everything. If you thought clas was meant for learning, its not. hes just getting paid to grade harshly.

Incredibly difficult and unfun. If you are 1 minute late to class, he will consider you absent and after 4 or 5 lates he will drop you as soon as he can. His tests are awful, and he doesn't give you any resources to help you; I know other reviews say this already, but never never never take a class with him. He's also plain rude.

This is a very tough class, and a bad teacher makes it much worse. You will have to learn everything from Youtube or other outlets. His tests are extremely difficult and he doesn't give partial credit. Doesn't keep grades up to date and doesn't respond to emails. Avoid this professor at all costs.

He has a very smug and rude attitude when it comes to teaching and doesn't respond to emails no matter the case. I don't understand why the College doesn't drop him as a professor because he clearly cannot teach or be compassionate towards students which is literally the main role for a professor.

This may be the worst teacher I have ever had, zero participation with his online class. You will learn nothing, be prepared to do a lot of homework which is all worth only 20% of your grade. He will not respond to emails, all around not a nice guy, Avoid this class like the plague, Please fire this teacher, he is a danger to our generations future

This professor is the worst I've ever had. He makes it impossible for students to succeed and belittles them when they ask questions. If you're absent 3 times he can drop you. I have a 4.0 gpa and had to drop because I didn't want to tank my gpa. Don't take this class unless you want all online lectures, zero teaching, and insanely strict grading.

I dropped him on the first day. The way he explained his teaching method for Calculus is giving practice problems in class and assigning Youtube math videos for the lecture and book problems for homework. I've also never seen a professor with such a bad attitude towards students. I heard many people drop him or fail.
