Comment:
First day of class was a big no for me. Doesn't have a specific textbook for you to use and claims all stats textbooks are "the same thing." He was rude to me and other students, telling us he would take points off our tests if we were late or absent. Being a student with a disability, I'm not always able to attend class. Dropped after my first day

Comment:
Mosh teaches from his own textbook that he wrote which is nothing bad, but reading through it I noticed that it is written out more for him to easily understand the subject that he is trying to teach and not student-friendly, unless you are only taking his class and have all the time in the world to read and study through it and memorize everything

Comment:
While an ok teacher at best, make sure you have some knowledge of physics cause the way he teaches and explains problems is mainly physics orientated with the math being a secondary focus. Overall he is best suited as a science professor not a math professor and it is evident in the material that he expects you to master before he teaches it.

Comment:
He is very confusing. Eventhough I sat through the same class in my university and knew most of the topics, I felt lost. He convinces you to buy his notes from him and they are filled with errors. Ask him a question outside of his notes and you get a incoherent TEDTalk. I gave up asking him anything, Very bad experience.

Grading scheme seems hard at first but actually very easy to pass, you get free points from doing the quizzes.

Tough class in general, but as long as you study his homework/handouts, youll be fine because they are very similar to the ones on the test. One of my harder math classes at DA.

Comment:
This is my first and last quarter at De Anza college. I go to UCLA and thought I take a required differential equations course here. Reminds me of high school teachers who act hard but you learn nothing. Confusing and superficial. Spends a lot of time insulting you and acting like he knows a lot. I dropped after the first week of this mush.

Terrible class. He charges you for his notes which he directly gets paid through his paypal account and you can't take quiz unless you pay. The notes you pay for are filled with errors. I had to talk to other teachers and they all were confused by his notes. He does not explain or does not know how to explain and confuses you.

If your a math major then you will be fine in this class, however if you just want to transfer DO NOT take his class. I ended up dropping after the second week because I knew his teaching style wasn't for me. He is self centered and will only go over things once. BE PREPARED for group work and lots of homework.

The hardest math class I have ever taken. Mosh just make it harder for math41 and he lecturing too fast that can't even catch him. Drop his class with a record of W and definitely worth it!

Comment:
Mosh knows math and can probably teach it well, but his ability to communicate lacks and it shows on quizzes and exams. I struggled a lot because I'm not stats-orientated and it was hard to understand what he wanted. Especially on the final, which was multiple choice, I got questions wrong because I had no idea what he was asking me to do.

Class has a easy to follow format for grading, tests are easy if you practice the exams (only 5 question per exam), group work for classwork. Take notes and you will pass.

Pros: class materials are useful and advanced, a few extra credits, outgoing teacher, sometimes he jokes, decently kind Cons: unnecessarily tough grading, time pressure on tests Comment: the question worth 4 points, wrong answer minus 2 points, solving 80% minus 4 points. You can't discriminate who gets the idea, who has no clue what's going on.

Comment:
Undoubtedly the most clever prof in the Math department. He has the ability to transfer his enthusiasm and energy for math to students. Crack jokes at times. Some confusions in his notes, but thats the way to learn math imo (diy using only the fundamentals). Stressful class but he wants his students to succeed. I got in to Cal thanks to him. Best.

It pains me to write this, but don't take him. He has good intentions and truly wants to be a good professor who teaches well, but isn't. He is very disorganized, cocky, and terrible at teaching. The material itself is doable, but his class is hard for the wrong reasons. If you have to take him, self study your heart out and god bless you.

Despite having a notorious reputation for being very difficult, he is a very good professor as with what he teaches and reasoning behind it (especially when it comes to Physics applications). Would only recommend to take if you have a lot of spare time to read ahead and do all his homework. His quizzes and exams are based off HW and online quizzes.

When i was having issues with the material he made SURE that I got the help that I needed. During an entire class he called on me for nearly everything While this ensured thati learned thematerial. If you can't learn in this way and follow many rules. I seriously suggestyou do not take his classes. He also took points 4 going to the bathroom often

This is my second time taking Mosh, he is a wonderful teacher! Do not be scared of him on the first day. He has rules and you must follow his rules, no hats in class, have all of your materials especially a calculator every day! Attendance is huge! YOU MUST BE IN CLASS EVERY PERIOD IN ORDER TO LEARN! DO NOT SKIP CLASS!!!

He's a great prof. First time in his class but I can feel like it's an upper division class. Idk how he grades but can tell that he deeply understands everything he says. If you want to transfer, take him to learn, not only to get good grade. He might be harder than other profs, but he prepares students very well for UCs level. Trying my best.
