I highly recommend this professor. He is easy going and makes it so that his students succeed. He drops your lowest exam score (unless you have a low homework score then he'll drop that instead) and makes his exams almost identical to the homework besides changing the numbers. His lectures aren't too long either and are definitely helpful!

Professor Monte is the BEST professor out there! I took him for both stats and calc, and he's a phenomenal teacher for both. His YouTube lectures are also AMAZING. He explains the material thoroughly and offers live sessions to answer questions. It's an extremely easy class, so long as you put in the effort. Can't recommend him enough!!!

Professor M. is very straight forward. His lectures are pre-recorded on yt (loved this b/c you could always go back!) and the next day in class you would go over any homework problems or questions in general you would have. Attendance is not mandatory but ideal if you want a good grade. Test questions are like the homework! Highly recommend him!!

Professor Monte is absolutely a gem! He is an excellent teacher, easily the best math teacher, and possibly best teacher period, Ive ever had. He is funny and easily lovable. He is never boring, and you can tell he loves what he does and cares about his students success! TAKE HIM!

Professor Monte is one of the best prof's at IVC. All his tests are open note, all the homework is open at the start of the chapter, and the HW problems are the exact same, excluding the numbers, as on the tests. If you do the HW you will pass the class as well he doesn't make attendance mandatory so you can just watch the recording he puts out.

His class is grade based on exams but this class is much easier than you think because he is very good at explaining the concepts. I am so glad Saddleback and IVC have professor Monte. Take his class, you won't regret it because Math 11 is extremely difficult at Saddleback.

If you get a score below A in his class you are not bad at maths, but you are an idiot. Just do the homework and youll get an A.

So hard class! I thought it'd be easy. Lots of homework and the tests are extremely difficult. I had to drop almost halfway into the course. Monte's nice and helpful and his class's still so stressful. I have always been a math person and suddenly I don't know how to do statistics. For those of you who are willing to take him, I bid you Good Luck.

I wasn't sure whether I will do well in his class. But I was wrong. He is amazing and very engaging. Drops one exam (includes final if you want). Your Homework grade is used instead to replace the lowest test score. Even during the transition to online learning, he was flexible and gave us support as well. PLEASE TAKE THIS SWEET GUY!

Day 1 of class, Professor Monte reviewed his syllabus, it was straight to the point 5 exams and on-line homework. Grading criteria was based on the 5 exams, drop lowest exam and replace it with homework grade. Lecture were clear to follow. We had to switch to the on-line live lecture because of the COVID 19 Pandemic. The class was Awesome!

Best professor! If you struggle with math go to his office hours because he will help you solve the homework questions you have. Make sure you attend class because you will be able to understand the concepts more and know what is on the exam.

Monte has 5 tests and homework. He drops either the lowest test or the lowest homework grade. Since I got an A on the first 4 tests as well as an A on the HW, I didn't have to take the last test to keep my A. His class is well taught and everything is given to be successful. Study HW, Take Notes and make a good Cheat Sheet for the Tests ( 1 page).

Prof Monte is a super amazing professor. I took him for stats. His lectures are very clear and easy to understand, if you have a question he will answer it and never make you feel stupid for asking. You have to go to every class to pass. DO THE HW it will save you and it replaces your lowest test grade! Take detailed notes, he does go fast.

If you have to take Calculus, take Monte. His lectures are very clear and easy to follow, yet you must show up to be able to do well on the tests. Do all the homework, even though it is not required, it helps you tremendously!

Prof. Monte is amazing, his class was easy if you show up. There are 5 tests and if you do the non-mandatory hw it can replace your lowest test grade. Show up to class and take notes b/c you get one pg of notes front and back on each test. If you pay attention and show up it should be an easy class. He is also available to help after class or email
