Reviews of professor Moss Norman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Moss is one of the best professors ive ever had. He taught the class incredibly well being online. He is very passionate about what he taught us, which made it all the more engaging. He genuinely cared about his students doing well, mentally and school-wise, which is rare for a prof. I will miss his class :)

He was a very nice prof and clearly cares about his students. The lectures were not the most engaging. The midterm had content from everything, so be ready to cram before the midterm. You have to be very specific when writing papers, they basically want you to write every definition word for word. And be very clear when relating concepts together.

Moss is a great prof, he is really happy and brightens the mood. The class was not every week, we met roughly 14 times through the term. Tutorials are pretty easy marks with a small group assignment each time. He is approachable, as are the TAs. Pretty easy to do well in this course, but sometimes hard to know what they expect in the assignments.

Moss is an amazing prof who cares not only about his students' education but also their well-being. He was accommodating to requests for extensions, lectures, and different learning styles by facilitating experimental learning experiences. The content was engaging and he even apologized for lecturing for 30 mins. Lots of discussions/group work.

Everything is open book/ take home so just take really good notes from the lectures and getting over 80 should be quite easy. Make sure to define terms in all papers. Tutorials were engaging. Grading criteria was clear and I minimally read the textbook (just flipped to what I'm looking for). Really nice guy.

Moss taught the best course I have taken in my entire undergraduate career. He does an excellent job of creating a safe and comfortable space for students to talk about important issues. He dismantles the whole teacher vs. student hierarchy that is so prevalent in a university setting. If you take this course your entire world view will be shifted.

Despite not wanting to take sociology, I actually really enjoyed this class. Moss is a really engaging lecturer, and if you're willing to speak up and share during discussions, you'll get a lot from this course. It's not difficult, but you have to be willing to put in some work. He's always happy to discuss content or assignments, which was helpful
