Illegible handwriting. Only assignments in the class are tests, so if you already know how to do calculus you might be okay. Do not recommend taking this class; you will be left to teach yourself from the textbook.

Things that must be noted when taking Moore. 5 textbooks will be used, differential equations, Hoffman and Kunze (hard to read), Supplements (his own book), 2 Linear books. His tests are very similar to Supplement tests, YOU MUST attend review lectures because they are SO FREE. DO NOT TAKE IF CANNOT TAKE A JOKE. P.S. do not be a loser head and cry.

I strongly recommend not taking this professor. Throughout lecture he constantly ridiculed students who asked questions to the point where nobody wanted to speak up. If you really want to learn math and not have to teach yourself from five different textbooks, take someone else.

This professor is so one dimensional he is everything that is wrong with the school system. He has no respect for students and would not recommend anyone who wants to learn something to take him. He is a just a sad old man who should have retired 30 years ago.

Comment:
bad enough that it's just plain hard math but it's all the more confusing when you cant learn as effectively because of his horrendous handwriting he can also make frankly uncalled for jabs at you for asking a "stupid question" If he's your only choice left for a class consider taking it somewhere else or another semester seriously. Never again.

Comment:
Words cannot describe how bad he is. You will not learn anything from him and his lectures are just useless. Requires about 5 textbooks so good luck finding them all and reading every single one of them. After the first week, I decided to just self-learn this course. He makes me hate math. If you actually want to learn the material take some1 else.

Comment:
Simply a terrible instructor. His writing is often completely illegible, he skips steps, goes way too fast for anyone, and makes comments that border on misconduct. He is not like a "university professor" as the review below says. That is a ridiculous sentiment. See Gilbert Strang's MIT course on YouTube. Strang is the antithesis of Moore.

I wanted to rip my teeth out from how utterly terrible this class was. If it weren't for the class creating a group chat, I would have failed the tests because we had to help each other translate his handwriting. If you use online calculators, this class is perfect, but if you actually want to learn, choose someone else. Use sladers for hw help.

Happy I finally found a professor who acts like an adult and doesn't baby the class or pry for class "participation." Too bad I am already done with the lower div calculus series, otherwise I would have taken him for every course. Lectures like university professors; very fast paced.

Maybe its because of the pandemic, but this guy is unbearable online. He knows his field but jesus man the class is so unorganized and only takes place twice a week on zoom. No canvas or any other math website is used. He emails exams that he hand writes and is very hard to read at times. He goes all throughout the book, which i think is fine.

I believe Arthur Moore is an amazing teacher in the classroom, HOWEVER if you are taking him as an online course, don't. He doesn't make use of canvas, and everything is sent via email. Along with that, his hand writing is extremely messy. There are 4 exams that makes up your grade. Attend and take notes on review day, and you should be good.

I took 180 from Art during fall 2020. Dropped within a month and a half. I've been a good math student in the past, but I could not deal. He doesn't do canvas&sends everything via email. When he sent out our first test, I got a pdf of it. It was HANDWRITTEN and ILLEGIBLE. During lectures I was bored out of my mind and could barely read his writing.

Comment:
Writes in an illegible script. I could not read his writing and some of the textbooks for his class are in his handwriting. Trying to decipher the notes and "textbooks" took more time than the homework problems. If you're trying to prep for upper div math then take him at your own risk but if you're just trying to understand I would not recommend.

He never grades your test on his own, he always let his assistant grade everything. He always assumes that the student knows everything so he skips a lot of steps and said: " you should know about this". He knows a lot of math but he always looks down at the student he always said:" u should change ur major if u don't know this".

Art is a chill professor, knows what he's teaching. Grade is based on four exams and he reviews them for you also. Review and review a lot and you'll be fine.

Comment:
Ive had plenty of BAD teachers at OCC and Art is NOT one of them. He preps you for future math classes. Exams are extremely straight forward. He gives you EVERYTHING you need for an A if you practice material. His jokes are too witty for most to catch. Graded only off tests. There is EC. He isnt arrogant, but he does humble himself and his students

He's old fashioned, which is code for lazy. Writing is illegible, assumed you took every previous math class and most future classes; goes off topic several times in class and assumes most students are as pretentious as he is. Expects you to regurgitate proofs on his exams, but doesn't teach you much about them. Exams are almost identical to olds.

Art is my favorite professor at OCC. If you put forth effort and show you care, he will do the same for you. To prepare for exams he keeps all of his old tests that you can take pictures of. However, his tests are still a challenge, so DO THE HOMEWORK ON TOP OF IT! Good luck reading his handwriting(takes some getting used to). Best upper div. prep!
