He is terrible at lecturing but the homework prepares you well for the exams. I wouldn't have gone to class if there wasn't an IClicker because his lectures are unhelpful. The tests were challenging but straightforward if you studied the material and did the homework. Not a bad class, but try avoiding Moore if possible.

Lectures were terribly monotone and useless. He would constantly state "This is easy, you should be done by now" Really brought down the morale of students that were struggling in this course, cause overall it wasn't that difficult. Just read the lecture slides, go for iClicker and sign up for CLAS. PS Textbook is horrid

Moore was the worst prof I've had so far at UCSB. He's so smart that his lectures are not understandable to his students. He would stand in front of a powerpoint and talk in monotone about complex math ideas. Even when half the lecture gets an I-clicker problem wrong, he sometimes doesn't even go over it. He could teach well but he has no effort.

He is the sweet heart in terms of exams. Midterms are quite simple; half of the final is directly from the midterm and iclicker(lazy haa). Lectures are long and useless; just go there, play with your cell phone, go back and read all the ppt he posted on line and you'll be fine. Not hard materials. Sometimes hw can be a burden but not that bad.

Doug Moore is a horrible teacher with tenure up the wazoo. He makes simple topics complicated, is inconsistent in the way he explains things (changing variables randomly? really???), and insists that that his iclickers are "easy" or "simple"... and then only 20% of the class will get it right. He's a genius, but NOT a teacher. Avoid, avoid AVOID!

He is a smart and intelligent man, but he does not know how to teach. He always says that everything should be easy or elementary when half the class are getting the iclicker questions wrong.
