Reviews of professor Alena Moon

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took AP Chem in high school but when she described things in class they made no sense. My exam average was a 94 but I never showed up to class because all she did was confuse me, and this is coming from someone who already knew the content. If I didn't know the content before taking this class it would have been bad. Would not recommend.

if you're good at chemistry and have the fundamentals down, you'll be fine with her. if you don't PLEASE find another professor, Dr Moon contradicts herself a lot in lectures and they were very confusing and all over the place. Was basically taught by the book.

Dr. Moon really cares about her students fully understanding the material. She tests a lot differently than normal chemistry classes, but it gives you an opportunity to prove your knowledge. You have to be willing to actually learn the material, but Dr. Moon is very supportive and accessible if you need help.

She does not explain very well and explains things in terms that are difficult to understand. One thing she said at the beginning of the semester is that she skips over the easy concepts and goes straight to the difficult stuff which is hard for the students because we dont know any of the basics yet. I taught myself from other teachers lectures

If you are an intelligent student and have never really struggled with science before, you'll be fine with Dr. Moon. If chemistry is not your best subject, I would advise getting a different professor. Dr. Moon tends to make many mistakes during lecture and often contradicts herself. I learned most of the material in my recitation.

Dr. Moon advices her students to be systematic upon taking her exams, but her grading is not systematic. On the final project, she had no systematic point system for the rubric which made it really hard for me to scope in on a certain amount of points i want on the project. This class may have been easy for everyone but it was a tough class.
