He is very devoted and great at lecturing, not really any hard outside assignments just really work hard on the labs because they are a big portion of your grade. The tests were a bit more difficult than I thought, but you get cheat sheets so it is definitely manageable.

Took as a GE and obviously passionate about his field. Did much better on final than midterm that he rounded my grade. Weekly section mandatory as worksheets due at the end but my TA was chill and easy to ask questions to. Not much to memorize but understand general concepts and use of cheat sheets on midterm and final (don't negate studying tho!)

He seems nice and makes things interesting however if you're not into the subject it gets boring. You don't rlly have to attend lectures but definitely section. Midterm was rlly difficult most failed it however depending on final he'll bring scores up. As long as you do weekly section work you can pass the class.

He's a really good lecturer and just a really entertaining guy. The class is super boring tho, the exams were difficult and in-person.

Prof Moore was an amazing professor. You can tell he really cares about his students and his subject. Really interesting class, but beware, the tests are difficult. You are allowed a one-page cheat sheet, but don't rely on it!! Otherwise, labs have a worksheet due at the end of each class. Overall I recommend this class!
