Professor Moak is awesome. He's very laid-back and likes to engage with his students (He is kind of silly). His analyis of the books we read was very interesting and the topic of the class was entertaining. You will have to read a bit but there are simple true/false quizzes, an essay midterm, and a fun creative essay at the end. Take this class!

If you are interested in French 1, take it with Moak! He is a great professor and has a passion for his work. He teaches like 85% French and 15% English. However, you can easily understand everything without prior exposure to French. Just make sure to finish homework and participate. Don't skip lectures cuz he teaches lots of stuff in each lecture.

Professor Moak is approachable and supportive. His lectures are engaging and witty. As long as you pay attention in lecture and section the exams aren't that bad. It's clear that he's passionate about the subject and wants students to succeed - which are the two things that make a great professor! :)

I actually love him so much. So knowledgeable about the subject and makes lectures so engaging. Also really attractive tbh.

Super easy GE, Iclicker for lectures but lecture slides are posted online. 1 assignment a week and the extra reading materials are not even really neccesary. Midterm was super fair, the TAs write out definitions for the IDs and give to you to study which allows for an easy A on midterm and final. Section is mandatory but super chill

Great prof. Very entertaining and full of life during his lectures. Content is not the most interesting but he finds a way to make it interesting. One midterm and one final pretty easy and graded very fairly. Overall a good class.

One of the most teachers ever. Lectures were whatever, he grades the final paper kinda tough, but it's reasonable.

Great Professor! This was my second time taking one of his classes and I just love the vibe he gives off. Easy assignments and open ended essay final. Just go to lecture and you'll be fine.

super chill, two quizzes online easy. creative podcast final, and one essay. hes honestly a very good lecturer, any reading i didn't understand he would clearly explain it in lecture. as a global studies major i always left this class inspired and with new found epiphanies. text book is free and to get off waitlist sit in front row first day

Loved this class & the professor. Witty guy and I didn't hate listening to him talk. Attendance only mandatory in section & technically there's reading, but skimming got me an A sooo. Final was a podcast which was not difficult and there were some "pop" quizzes but they were take home & not too hard if you go to class. Would take more classes w him

I took this course Spring '21, so it was online. Regardless, the course content was very interesting and relevant to our lives today. Professor Moak's lectures are engaging and very interesting. He's kind and easy to reach outside of class and is very passionate on the topic. I recommend taking this course! The exams were not bad if you studied.

I LOVED him. Lots of reading but they were super interesting. It's alright if you fall behind there were only two pop quizzes (unbelievably easy) and an online midterm. He's funny, his lectures are easy to follow and he posts the slides beforehand... Definitely recommend!
