CollegeTake a course with her, genuinely nice and kind person who cares for her students but doesn't lose the crux of her intellectual curiosity. Will challenge you to think outside the box and engage with some seriously cool history.
this class had very long and kind of boring lectures, but you can tell she cares about the subjects. mandatory attendance and participation for sections and the papers weren't that hard.
Lectures long and honestly a bit boring. Class was easy and you just need to participate in section to get a good grade (30% of grade). Exams were take-home essays and not difficult to do. Probably wouldn't take again, but needed to for major credit.
I'm liberal, but Professor Moore takes it to an extreme. Most of the class is her complaining. To her, all George Washington is is a "brutal enslaver" and slave rebellions are the most important part of history. She even said the Haitian revolution was more important than the American and French ones. Don't take if there's anyone more left than you
Professor Moore's a kind person. Unfortunately, her lectures were boring. I went to every one and she only read off an outline. It too bad because it's clear she's passionate about the topic. However, in terms of course content, this class was interesting. I appreciated how she provided a free version of the textbook.
Prof Moore is very passionate about what she teaches, however, I found her lectures to be extremely boring and long. We got graded on two papers, discussion attendance, and a final. The final consisted of two essays and three paragraph responses. You don't need to go to lecture, but you need to attend section which I found more helpful anyway.
