Prof Moore is very passionate about what she teaches, however, I found her lectures to be extremely boring and long. We got graded on two papers, discussion attendance, and a final. The final consisted of two essays and three paragraph responses. You don't need to go to lecture, but you need to attend section which I found more helpful anyway.
You only need to attend lectures or read the textbook to get an easy A. I chose the lecture route, and Moore made the class interesting and easy to understand. Section attendance and participation are necessary but I believe they helped when writing the 2 essays and take-home final. Shoutout TA Anna Winn.
Very similar to APUSH. While lectures aren't required, you have to cite her lectures in papers + the final, so attendance is necessary. She posts the lecture slides ahead of time, which is good because she talks very quickly. Grading heavily depends on the TA. Very passionate lecturer
This course reminded me a lot of APUSH. Missing lectures means you're likely missing important context. The grading for the class is straightforward: two papers and a final exam. However, these are graded by the TAs rather than Moore herself. This means the quality of feedback and grading can vary depending on your assigned TA.
I thought her class was easy up until the final. The final consists of 3 short answer questions and 2 essays, while our coursework involved 2 essays. How is our coursework LESS work than our final? Our sections were easy, and participation matters. My biggest piece of advice is to talk to your TA. My TA was much more helpful than Professor Moore.
I love her don't get me wrong. Her lectures don't feel like they drag on too long (but you definitely want to be there because she says a lot that's not written on the slides.) HOWEVER I would not take her again because her final is so bad. She presents the class as easy which it is but her final is 3 short answer and 2 essays.
Prof. Moore is a great instructor. Her lectures are clear and well-paced. The syllabus outlines how to succeed in the course, so you shouldn't have any trouble. Lectures are insightful and her exams are fair. There are weekly readings to complete before section, but they are very short and contribute well to discussion section. Fun and easy A.
Professor Moore taught 17A with passion, always encouraging discussion and exploration into the topics. Homework shouldn't take more than a few hours a week. Instructions for essays/exams were very clear. Lectures aren't mandatory, but important and somewhat hard to miss. Take good notes. Section is important too, get to know your TA!
Class consisted of midterm and final along with weekly lecture quizzes and 500-word primary source reading reflections. Attend lecture and you'll pass the quizzes, reflections were always easy, and midterm and final will be fine as long as you study. Professor Moore was always very sweet and I loved my TA Gavin Williams.
moore is FANTASTIC. shes an engaging presenter, even when the history is dull, and you can tell she cares a lot. she doesn't post her lectures, so while it's not mandatory", you need to go to pass the weekly 10 Q quizzes. ur reading 3 primary sources a week w/ a reflection, so not too bad for workload. exams r based on lecture topics. def take this
fast-paced lectures (posted on canvas after), but super interesting and helpful for exams. Midterm was an in-class essay, but I thought they were simple. Weekly writing assignments based on weekly readings (only 500 words). weekly lecture quizzes too (online). The section was so worth going to. The final was take take-home essay.
Super easy class, prof sometimes gets a little boring when lecturing. Weekly quizzes based on the lectures and the powerpoint slides. First essay, midterm, and final were all pretty easy but they were a couple pages long. Section participation was 30% of the grade, so make sure you go. Prof is very understanding. A little boring but an easy A.
Graded based on a midterm, final, book report essay, and attendance/participation. Overall there's a fair amount of reading but the professor is an easy grader.
grade is based on essay 1, 2, and 2 final essays + section participation. really nice and respectful prof & simple, easy to follow lectures and weekly readings that you'd talk about in section to later use in your essays. pretty easy essay prompts as long as you stay caught up w/content! was iffy about history courses at first, but loved this class
Professor Moore's course reminded me of why I wanted to major in history to begin with. Her PowerPoints are in-depth and posted for access ahead of time, but her lectures are well worth attending. The weekly quizzes aren't bad either. She solicits responses in class and keeps lectures engaged, and was accommodating of COVID growing pains.
Professor Moore is great lecturer and as someone who used to find history boring she defintely made this class easy to enjoy. She is super organized and the readings are not super long. The weekly quizzes are easy if you attend lecture and use the slides. The midterm, ID, and final are also easy as all the information is basically given to you.
Easy A with minimal reading and shorter essays than usual in history classes.
You can pass the class just by the posted lecture slides, but it's so worth it to go to class and listen to Prof Moore's lectures. She's a great lecturer (every class feels a bit like a TED Talk) and the lens that she teaches through is interesting and engaging. Easy reading, great lectures, and not much work each week. Fully recommend!
This class was super easy as long you go to lectures. There are weekly quizzes but the answers can be taken right off the powerpoint slides from lecture. Only two papers and were graded super easy, as long as you had a thesis and an argument, you got an A. The professor is also really good at answering questions about anything!
felt a bit like APUSH at times but overall was an easy and interesting class. textbook is optional and weekly primary source readings were fairly simple. no tests, just a paper, short-answer midterm, final essay, and weekly lecture quizzes. really informative lectures that take a bit of a different approach to traditional early American history
Clear grading criteria and extremely accommodating professor. Class can be passed by just using lecture slides. Prof. Moore's lectures are based heavily on the slides. Midterm and final are online.
Pretty solid class. It was all online video. Really clear guidelines on grading.
The class was online and asynchronous, so we didn't have that many opportunities for interaction, but she always responded to emails pretty quickly. Her lectures are okay, and the writing assignments are pretty easy. The class requires minimal reading.
super easy class and although you dont interact with the professor a lot, her lectures are okay and decently interesting. great class for freshman who just need GE credits.
