Comment:

Explains the material in an old-fashioned way. Gets mad when students ask a silly question. Teaches the lesson very quickly and rarely asks the class if they understand. Does not tell in advance when he will be absent. Very rude and strict. Always seems like he is bothered and does not have the energy to teach.

Comment:

He cancels class often without giving you a heads up. Gets upset if you dont understand the material and makes inappropriate jokes. Collects hw the day of each exam and hw is only worth 2%. Makes you buy an online stat program for $20 and had only used it twice in lab. I dont recommend him if you are not good at math.

Comment:

Best math teacher I ever had (coming from someone who loves math). I had him during 6-week winter course, he went very fast and there was a ton of homework every day. It wasn't an easy class if you don't enjoy math. He makes the subject much easier. People didn't pay attention and then wondered why they failed. I worked hard and earned his respect.

Comment:

Math 37-Excellent teacher, I usually hate Math and ended up loving it. Dont go into this class blind, at least take Math 65 first. Do the homework, if you dont youll end up behind. Ask questions and volunteer your answers, its the only way to learn!

Comment:

Teaching style is very old school in that he expects a high volume of homework and assertive teaching works. If you cant teach yourself then dont take him. He appears knowledgeable in mathematics but inept at teaching. Dont expect to know your exam scores until maybe 2 wks later. He also wears crocs. And sometimes he wears a fedora :(

Comment:

Lots of homework. If you don't do the homework, you won't pass. Skip class too often? Just drop the class, otherwise, you won't end the term with a good grade. He doesn't teach the material as well as he should. Double check the exams he gives back, he'll mark you wrong sometimes even if you were right.

Basura! Just kidding! He is very fun and lively professor, one of the best math professors that RCC has. He is warm and funny, yet serious about the work you must do. Be prepared for lots of homework especially MAT35. AND DO IT! Great Prof, A+.

He's an amazing teacher! all these comments are stupid. This is college, you're suppose to study hard and do ALL the homework, and you'll be just fine :) this is not high school anymore. You're on your own

Professor Morales is an interesting guy. Nevertheless, he is not the best math professor. Especially if you are not a math person.

Comment:

SO MUCH HOMEWORK! Not enough learning. He speaks out of context and focuses more on how to not do the problem vs. the correct way to do it, which confused me very much. Don't take him unless you are capable of teaching yourself.

Comment:

I don't recommend him to anyone. He gives out so much homework, and doesn't cover most of the lessons assigned during class. He expects you to know everything. The tests consist of two parts: multiple choice and free response. Beware of pop quizzes.

Comment:

This was my 2nd time taking this professor, the first time during summer session was very difficult four days a week gave on average 4 to 5 sections of HW a day. Took him again for Fall and I missed 2 days due to my grandfather's passing and I was dropped demanded I showed "Evidence" of his passing. Never been more disrespected in my life.

He explains things very well in class. If u need help, just go to his office and he will gladly help u. He is funny and helps u remember different things in class by putting stories to it. If u do your homework and study, u will pass! U might also learn a little Spanish.;)#basura I definitely would take him again and recommend u take him as well!!!

Comment:

He only goes over like 1/4 of what the section is, and then after the lecture he gives homework on TWO sections. So basically if you're not math-savvy you have to go home & teach yourself the rest which in my case, didn't work out.

I took his accelerated summer course for Math 35 and he was great! The class was long and we had loads of homework, but he still managed to make it a fun class.
