Reviews of professor Tomas Moniz

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
AVOID AT ALL COSTS. The worst professor I have ever had. The online modules were super unorganized, making the instruction misleading. He graded essays based on his mood and unpredictable preference, and would become defensive if you asked about them. I withdrew from the class because of the unreasonable grading and how uncommunicative he was.

Like the last two reviewers, I'm not really sure why he has such low ratings on here. I enjoyed his class and so did my classmates. He was good at moderating and encouraging discussions, so the class was mostly just interesting conversation, and I loved that.

Im very confused with the old ratings. He is a very great teacher and responds to emails in a respectful time manner. I would 1100% recommend him. He grades fairly and you do a lot of interesting and fun reads in his class. his energy and powerpoints help with staying focused and not getting bored.

he would put papers through a plagiarism site and if you get maybe 5% he will give you a 0 and become very defensive when you message him why the 0. avoid this professor like the plague. wanna know what the 5% could be? if you copy and paste a citation for formatting reasons, your paper will get flagged. he wont read it. Awful professor.

Very confused by all these awful reviews, he was very professional and was very responsive to emails and always available in office hours. There are four essays throughout the semester based on short books/poetry we read. Those four essays are 80% of the grade so show up to peer review classes to get feedback on them and you should be good.

lazy does not respond to emails, does not checking in with you, kinda careless and on top of that a tough grader, do not take his class

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Four short books, one essay per book, peer reviewed rough drafts, class participation a must. Prefers the camera on for online lecture classes. Excellent and enthusiastic lecturer. Does not offer a ton of feedback on graded work but will elaborate if you send an email or talk to him during office hours. Emails back in timely manner. Fair grader.

Does not provide any feedback. Emails were never responded to and the feedback I got after multiple emails was in the form of unintelligible stream-of-consciousness with no punctuation. During office hours, Moniz was nowhere to be found. Poor communication.

He responds email REALLLLY slow, or sometimes he even ignores. No feedback given to essays. Never communicate with students. Essays are weirdly graded - not given specific rubric. Worst class I ever took.
