Reviews of professor Christopher Mooney

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Mooney is a great teacher. However, expect to learn most of the material online or from materials which he is happy to provide. He cares about his sudents. During class, we were mostly proving why certain formula works, and how. Good thing is that those materials have clear solution, and is a good idea of what will appear on the exam.

Even if you're an Athiest, pray to a higher power if you get a course with Dr. Mooney. Be prepared for him to talk condescendingly for not answering any of his obtuse questions using definitions you learned five minutes ago.

He knows what he is talking about, but really doesn't know how to teach. Worst professor I've had.

Very fast-paced class with a new topic almost every day and a quiz every Friday, so skipping is a death sentence. Homework assigned almost every night and felt like busy work rather than learning the material. Very little feedback besides corrections on tests and quizzes. The most useful thing he did was post example problem walkthroughs on canvas.

Dr. Mooney is a super smart guy, although he struggles at teaching. He explains through examples while going fast and skipping steps and leaves students like me lost every day of lecture. He isn't much help when asking questions either as he makes you feel dumb and still doesn't help you complete the problem. Unless you are a genius DO NOT TAKE!

I liked and disliked things about Mooney's class. Lectures were hit or miss, some were good, some I was lost on. Canvas page has a lot of useful stuff on it. Quizzes are graded harsher than tests for some reason. The guy is a little out there but is normally pretty chill. Take Mooney instead of Tyler if you are weighing the two for Calc II.

Gets mad for some reason when asked questions. Pretty bad at explaining course content. Likes to take off points for small mistakes.
