Take him if you will attend sync or sit in front, read the slides, and drill the example-parallel quizzes. The four injected comments agree he is knowledgeable and A-able. Lean away only if you need a slow, highly interactive live recitation, or if the offering is the video-dense intersession programming format and you cannot keep up with many lectures plus undiscussed code.

I had sir Muga for MATH 51.3 but i think it will also apply for calculus. Sir had synchronous sessions every class session in the schedule. He gives slides of the topics beforehand for you to read. I dont know how the exams for Calc will be but in my class all of his problem sets were relatively simple. He would give the problem sets pdf before you actually attempt the prob set (but the prob sets have unli time so its more of just inputting the answers). Other than that sir is ok in terms of the online setting. He really worries too if people dont attend the synchronous sessions but lectures are recorded so dont worry about that. In my class at least, he's very A-able as long as you read the slides and attend lecture sessions (because sometimes the lecture session topics could differ according to the slides).
A disadvantage however would be that some of the topics that he posts in the slides are completely irrelevant (we sometimes talked about open problems in number theory and like how solving them would give you $1 mil) but if you're a real nerd for that then to each its own.
In terms of exercises, you'd have to rely on the book for you. He just gives slides on the topics and discuss book exercises during some lecture sessions, but it is helpful sort of. Its gonna be hard if you are one to fall behind in because thats all you can get without consulting the book. Then again, as I have said, the prob sets are relatively simple (sometimes iterating concepts and derivations from lecture sessions). Just be careful not to make any careless mistakes because its all multiple choice or what not and usually theres a few questions only that would make up 100 pts. But i think for calculus, they would make you submit a scan of your solution.
Tldr; ok prof just read slides and attend lectures and dont make any careless mistakes and you can get an Amore
LOVE SIR MUGA
You'll really see that he's passionate and knows what he's doing!!
There's a Synchronous Session every schedule (I recommend you attend this) where he goes over the topics and lots of examples. He teaches up to the smallest detail, but sometimes nakakaantok yung boses 😭✋. His canvas modules are pretty direct to the point, lots pf practice problems din and book references that you can use to practice. He likes to chika when ur early sa zoom (hi miss Cristyanna) so that's that.
He posts the synch recordings the day itself and is usually responsive to messages.
His Quizzes are fairly manageable, kasi most of them parallel sa examples niya (aside from the departmentals,, those are deadly) he is very gracious with partial points though, so make sure your whole solution is there.
I don't think he curves, because I got the grade that I was expecting, but taking sir muga is super worth it talaga!! esp if ur like me who's relatively bad at math, sir muga will make you want to learn!more

Lots of videos, fast pacing, grades still high

Had him for PSYC 18.01i (Data Analytics for Text Analysis) last intersession (online). We had 3 profs back then, and Sir Muga was the one in-charge of teaching the programming and math parts of the course. Very asynchronous yung course tbh, and most of Sir's learning materials are video lectures which are accompanied by zip files of the codes that he used in the video. Pacing is a bit fast I think, plus may times din na magbabanggit siya ng mga concepts/code na di pa nadidiscuss before. Medyo exhausting din nang slight since ang dami talagang videos per topic. I'm not sure how he handles his other classes pero ayun, medyo maraming vids, mabilis na pacing, and maraming concepts na bigla na lang lalabas. Grades relatively high naman and is quite responsive din sa emails.more

He's legit too smart to be a teacher

He is a very smart person who can't communicate effectively.

He usually didnt count attendance (he only did for the first few days and when there's a lot of absentees)

the board learned more math than I did. Didnt care if my phone was my calculator at times. His problems on tests are mostly solving so as long as you know how to do it, there’s no problem.

Nakakaantok, sobra. Para kang nanonood ng ASMR pero A-able naman siya. Twice ko na siya naging prof so mga dalawang sem din nakumpleto tulog ko.
Requirements naman, usually quizzes lang. Hindi madali pero hindi rin mahirap. Self-study ka nga lang kasi kahit 25 hours pa tulog mo, halos wala ka talagang matututunan sa kanya. Nice naman siya though. Very lolo vibesmore

not only a-able but an easy a for sure. took him first semester last year and his reqs were
- 2 LTs, super super simple, even simpler than his examples on canvas, so just practice on them and youre good to go
- 2 group works, super easy and he grades so well (got 100/100 on both)
so even if you struggle so bad to the point you fail both LT's, you can still 100% pass the subject.more

Took him last SY! Sit sa front so u can hear his voice lol but srsly:
His discussions can be a bit boring because he talks super slow. Also, he just discussed the same examples from Canvas.
As for the requirements, we had 2 long tests and 2 group problem sets. Each of them are 25% sa final grade.
I learned through self study + practice quizzes in Canvas. Be sure to practice bc it's similar sa actual test! I think A-able naman, just do your best and choose your groupmates wisely!more
