Reviews of professor Michael Moses

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Slowest grader and the most boring professor ive ever had

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The worst professor. Really slow grader, never puts your grades in blackboard, and is very unclear on how assignments will be graded. The class is supposed to be discussion based but he just stands at the front of the room talking the whole class. Would not recommend taking this class at all. He also calls on people that are not paying attention.

Socratic format. Class is easy if you are outspoken and fluent in BS. Teachers are very knowledgeable. You don't really need to read/watch the entirety of each book/movie as long as you quote and make fairly relevant points. 250 words twice weekly, 3 projects (essays/creative project), final oral exam (answer 2 questions from material).

I had Moses for a Humanomics FFC, which was probably the worst decision I've ever made. You have to write a paper every week and he is not clear about how things are graded at all. If you want an easy FFC, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!

Dystopia/Utopia w/ Prof. Moses and John Thrasher was a good class. He's a bit intimidating but very knowledgeable. He can also be a more critical grader than Prof. Thrasher but his feedback is insightful. Class is discussion-based so it becomes really thought-provoking. 1-2 assignments per book/film, 2 projects, & an oral final exam.

Utopia & Dystopia was a fun and interesting class. Easy graders, especially by the end of the semester I feel like everyone just got 100 on everything. Professor Moses gave a lot of deep feedback on your discussion comments and graded just a bit harder than Professor Thrasher. However, be prepared to read a lot of books and watch many films.

Moses is a very, very smart guy. Harvard Magna Cum Laude. You can really learn a lot by listening to him talk because he just knows so much about everything. He is very interested in the subjects he teaches which made me more enthusiastic about them too.

He's a very meh teacher. I didn't hate the class but I feel like it was such an exciting topic that ended up being boring. He's not a bad teacher but he just wasn't my favorite and he seemed a bit intimidating. Overall there was nothing bad about him just nothing special.

Both Professor Thrasher and Professor Moses-Valdez teach the FFC Utopia and Dystopia in Film and Literature. If you are a freshman, I highly encourage you to take this class. Its pretty easy and as long as you put in the work on discussions and essays while also making an effort to participate, you should be able to get an A with no problem.
