Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Worst teacher ever. Dont take this class with her unless you want to teach yourself and possibly fail.

Dr. Moon was one of the best professors I've ever had. Her lectures weren't reliant on slides and it took a little time to understand how to take notes in her class since it was largely discussion based. But besides that, I loved how engaging she was during lectures and her exams were all take home and open note. 10/10 professor and person

I loved Dr. Moon. She was probably the best professor I'll every have. She might be different for a larger chem 109/110 lecture, but for 114 she was amazing. She was easy to work with and I love how she teaches. She does talk fast and not everything is on her slides, so be ready to listen and write fast. Work load wasn't bad and tests were great.

I had Dr. Moon for both CHEM 113/114. Although she is very nice and caring, I believe that her tests could be written a little bit better. Her lectures are based solemnly on the book as if she memorized it and regurgitates it during lecture. She also told us not to read it which is a mistake. I had to teach myself pretty much the whole class.

Dr. Moon is a very caring professor who is very willing to extend deadlines when other classes had projects or tests due on the same day as the test. Her tests are very interesting. They were take-home tests that were open note and open resource and they were an average of 5 questions. However, these tests took me an average of 6 hours to complete.

Dr moon is very smart in her field. She is just unaware of how to teach GENERAL chemistry. She takes easy topics and makes them hard to understand. If you do not have a lot of prior knowledge of chemistry, you will have a very hard time understanding what she is talking about during lectures.

Very sweet but not good at explaining what is going on. Her tests and lectures don't match the textbook, so I'm not sure I learned everything I was supposed to. The final project is also an afterthought that is a piece of work. I'm going to teach myself with the textbook before ochem since she believes in discussion and not math/practice problems.

Dr. Moon is great in her field, but she doesn't have enough ability to express her knowledge to others. She also provides a poor resource for the exam. The exam of this class is hard and has a high proportion of the total grade. However, The review resource for the exam is poor. She just provide a few class lectures that skip important ones.

Dr. Moon cares so much about students and her class is very captivating. She does test differently than any other class I have ever taken, but I loved it. I felt that I learned the material without the stress of a normal Chem class. I would recommend taking Dr. Moon to anyone.
