Great lecturer and is so sweet!
I've never had a professor that was as kind and helpful as Moore. He's super clear and the lectures are actually interesting. I've never written review on here but he is my favorite prof so far. He's also super interactive and has us do worksheets which I haven't done since high school and really enjoyed! Such a fun class.
If you are a humanities major looking for an easy Area C GE, look no further. A bit dry but the professor is clearly enthusiastic about the class and its topics. Graded based on labs, short lecture quizzes (2-3 questions each) and multiple choice at-home midterm and final. If you are good at multiple choice you should have no issue with this class.
Props to Moore for making lecture very engaging and having enthusiasm to teach every day. Easy GE class to take. His exams, quizzes and labs were easy to understand as long as you understand how to read cladograms.
attendance not mandatory, i went to no lectures after the midterm and still passed. very easy to pass class as long as you average C's on final and midterm and do all labs in section. overall easy class and would recommend.
Very easy class. If you need to knock out area C, take Earth 7 with Moore. Good, enthusiastic lectures and the midterm and final are both online and take home. Just take notes and it's an easy A
Professor Moore is very enthusiastic about the subject and his lectures are very easy to follow. The class consists of a short mini-quiz on each lecture but you can take it as many times as you want to get 100%. Labs are easy and you get them done within section. The midterm and final are both open note and online so this course is very passable.
The lectures were easy to follow and clear. I was able to swing an A on both midterm and final with minimal studying thanks to the effective class structure. Labs were great to help us deepen our understanding, especially with a great TA. As a humanities major who struggles with all STEM, this class was perfect for an area C ge.
Weekly labs, midterm and final. No required readings! I loved taking this class, the concepts are challenging at first but the content is so so fun. Definitely go to office hours if stuck, he is really cool and helpful. This is a great GE class, make sure you study cladograms and forming study groups helps a lot. Take Moore!!
I took his Dinosaur class Winter 2020 Q and I loved it. He was very accessible outside of class and had a lot of opportunities for office hours. He is a pretty patient and caring prof. He will take the time to break things down and explain them. We did not use a text book and the lectures were kind of long. Make sure to study cladograms and notes.
I loved Dr. Moore. Took this course to knock out my C requirement, did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. So interesting, great discussion topics in forums, forgiving quizzes. Midterm and Final were just challenging enough to keep it interesting. Not easy, not hard, an awesome class. Lectures were broken up in small parts, kept me engaged.
I'm not that good at science, but this class is solid for a GE. There are chances to better your grade if you do significantly better on the midterm or final.
The entire class was asynchronous, which was quite nice. The quizzes were easy and they allowed you to retake until correct. The other weekly assignments weren't that bad, pretty easy to do. The midterm and final were a lot harder than the rest of the quizzes/assignments. Would not take in person as I relied heavily on my notes for tests.
The best professor I've ever had, so organized, kind, and lectures were really interesting, I would always look forward to them. Not an easy A and the material is sometimes challenging but if you put in the effort to watch lectures and do the labs, you'll be fine. I would recommend 100% and I loved the course. Also, the textbook isn't necessary!
Awesome professor! Professor Moore taught the course material in a way that made it interesting, he was helpful outside of class, and the work load is very manageable. The material itself was easy enough to understand, and this course has actually gotten me interested in the earth science field. One of my favorite professors so far, easily!
Great lectures. The Professor made the class straightforward and clear in terms of assignments, due dates, and expectations. The study guide he provides is useful to know the important topics for exams.
His lectures are very clear. Quizzes based on lecture info.
ASYNC lectures but you can tell he is a very nice person and passionate. Labs which are fairly easy and allowed to collaborate with peers. Discussion board also but not very useful in my opinion. Tests were fair and explicitly gives you a list of what will be on the exam. Very organized as well & sends weekly emails to remind us of due dates, etc..
I enjoyed this class and found the difficulty level more than manageable. Taking notes is v important and helps a lot for the tests. I took class Fall 19 (in person) so attendance was mandatory then with iClicker questions. Labs were kinda cool and easy, TA was helpful. Not an easy A, but definitely not a hard A. Would recommend
I had Prof. Moore fall quarter! The class is very information-heavy so you NEED to pay attention in every lecture. I found that rewriting the cladograms and using Quizlet helped the most for both the midterm and the final. Labs arent hard, but its good to ask your TA questions before turning them in. Overall, it was an interesting course!
Very few homework assignments, the ones you do get are pretty easy. Lecture was super dry at the beginning of the quarter, but once he actually starts talking about dinosaurs it was more enojyable. There was a lab that took place during section each week, they were easy. Tests are fine if you study and MEMORIZE THE CLADOGRAMS. Otherwise, good luck.
He is a great professor! He respects everyone in his class. The best thing in his class is that he post everything (lecture slides and notes) on the Guachospace. I did not pay much attention on his lecture but studies his slides and notes very very very specific. I think you can get A if u go over his material. Honestly, his exams will be tricky.
Moore is clearly very well educated in his field and is a unique and engaging lecturer. Earth 7 is a course that requires heavy memorization, but I believe he is good at making the material memorable. With HW and labs, the class is definitely easy to pass. If you skip lecture, all slides and notes are posted online so that is nice.
The test were super complicated lots of memorization and expects too much from you for the exams . Questions are tricky and no curve is applied!
