Professor Moak is highly knowledgeable & you can tell he genuinely enjoys the material. However he does not do a great job of delivering it. His slides are super packed with words and mostly quotes directly from the text. Lecture can get boring hes a bit monotone but the material is interesting
His slides are terrible. They look like whole articles shrunken to fit onto the screen, & you can barely read them. He also doesn't post notes beforehand (he does it after class) which doesn't make sense bc no one is able to follow along. EVERY ppt slide ends with him saying "however, I disagree with this bc..." therefore refuting the whole thing.
dont take. feel regret now. I have to say sorry to myself....
Horrible PPT... I believe he doesn't know how to make a conclusion......
his power points need WORK. Literally has essays written on them.
This class is awful. His power point slides are very bad. He just copy pastes the book into his slides and rambles on about what HE thinks is correct. Doesnt make it clear what is important so it's basically impossible to study for this class
This was professor Moaks first time teaching the class so he was def not perfect. However, his class is extremely easy if you just show up to lecture and listen. Literally the readings are not needed and if you find him boring, all you need is a good TA. 1 take home midterm, 3 quizzes, section, and mc final. An easy class to pass trust me.
Copies and pastes paragraph from the readings onto the slides. He then refutes everything the reading says and tries to convince the class that what he thinks is correct. Make sure to bring your glasses to lecture so you can read the size 6 font he uses on his slides. Not a global studies class and lacks cohesiveness.
Professor Moak copies and pastes paragraphs into his lecture slides, often just quotes from people. There is so much small text on the slides that you can't read from the back of the class. He also reads of the slides. Pretty sure I learned in middle school how to create a better powerpoint than these. The readings are incredibly dense.
