Makes his own slides and goes over them in class. However, he goes off topic way too often and is pretty bad at explaining concepts. I went to office hours a few times and I never got the answers that I needed. His explanations are very unclear and he makes the topic even more confusing. Overall a nice person and pretty approachable though.

nice guy but he always repeats his own lecture. his grading critera was totally unclear, but he has little HW and tests are fairly easy.

my homie moskovits had to print the formula sheet for our second midterm during the test because he thought "we were bringing our own." he goes over the same material/slides as much as five times (and you somehow learn less each time) while skipping over entire chapters he had planned. likely senile; avoid at all costs like the coronavirus

Marks off points for no reason and doesn't teach at all.

An abomination of a professor. He arbitrarily docks off points on tests. You can get the question correct, but he will still take off random points. His lectures are super slow. He goes over the same slides for multiple lectures in a row. For 2B, he skipped acid-base, which is a core part of the curriculum. He never shows up to his office hours.

Some professors in this department seem bitter, and work you to the bone. Moskovits isn't one of them. He's very sweet, genuine and cheerful. He cares about people. He also doesn't grade our class on a curve and judges us individually. Very reasonable amount of work, allows you time to take other classes and do other things

Although he teaches rather slowly he really cares about giving his students a good education and he wants us all to pass. His tests are very similar to lectures and the textbook. He assigns very little homework and from which they are all textbook problems. Overall a very doable chemistry class and he is more than willing to answer questions.

Lectures aren't the clearest and are boring but very nice guy and very helpful if you go to office hours, tests are pretty reasonable too

boring and does so little considering its a chem honors class of 30-40 students. i learned more in a regualr chem class.

Moskovits is a cool guy. Sure he goes on his tangents and talks about chemistry that isnt related to tests but who cares. All you bio majors need to stop QQing about your grades because of the teacher and actually study yourself. Science professors help you get the gist of the material but if you want to do well on tests, you study yourself

great professor; chem requires you to study.. if you dont study you wont pass.. it's not his fault for your lack of outside studying.

Best inspiring professor I have had in UCSB. He gave a farewell speech that kept all chem and non chem students thinking. Extremely helpful and tests are hard but chemistry tests are suppose to be hard. He does big curve and respect his students. I highly recommend this professor. He is also entertaining in lecture.

He's not the best lecturer around. He often goes on tangents, and gets distracted. However, I think he is aware of this and makes up for it by always wanting to help his students. Definitly go to his office hours and CLAS. The test questions are hard and sometimes complicated however he has a high curve. Practice as much as you can.

Moskovits is a great guy but his lecturing ability isn't quite up to par with some of the others in the dept. He does more talking than teaching per se, but definitely knows his stuff. Attending class is probably not necessary to do well, as lecture is a poor indicator of exam material. Tests can be very hard if you don't LEARN the material and KNO

The homework and lecture are ridiculously easy, the practice tests are pretty easy, and then BAM he hits you with horrible midterms/quizzes that require logistical gymnastics to solve. Literally no one finished the midterm it's just sad. He really is out of touch with students.
