Reviews of professor David Moss

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a nice person but his class requires you to memorize literally so much! This was my most stressful class all year. He doesn't give extra credit or curve exam grades at all and made that very clear and attendence is mandatory and turns into a grade at the end of the year. If you aren't a geology major, I do not recommend.

This class is a pain if you're not a science major. Professor Moss is clearly passionate about geology & that shows through his lectures; however, the workload for this introductory course was overwhelming at times & his reviews often don't correlate at all with the exams. If I didn't need a science credit I would not have taken this class at all.

While Dr. Moss was passionate about his subject, I had a hard time following his lectures and passing his tests. While I took good notes, focused in class, and did everything I could, I BARELY passed his class. Hes passionate and clearly loves his classes but to anyone outside of GEO majors, its like Greek trying to figure out his assignments.

Dr. Moss is passionate and enthusiastic about his field. I needed this for science credit and not because I enjoy geology, yet I did enjoy learning some of the facts. Lectures, assignments, and exams were aligned. He genuinely cared about students succeeding regardless of their major. He was easy to reach outside of class.

If you are not a stem major and need a science credit, this course is for you! He is very passionate about the course and will help you with any questions you may have. He always made lectures interesting and is clear and concise about what you will be tested on. He also posts lecture slides online if you miss class.  I am so glad I chose Dr.Moss.

Dr Moss is very nice and approachable, he is willing to help all of his students succeed. His class is very lecture heavy. Tests are relatively easy if you study but are impossible if you dont pay attention! We did not use the textbook assigned for this class.

Sometimes he reads straight off the slides. Do the reading. Do the quizzes. Do the reviews. Do go to class. Don't sleep in class. Sometimes the wording on some of the test questions threw me off. Read carefully but not too carefully to where you start second guessing yourself.
