I've worked especially hard on the quizzes and homework, attended most of the virtual classroom sessions to get help before an exam. Before the final exam, I had asked questions that she stated would not be on the final, finding out that everything I asked was on the exam. You'll be set up for failure and end up wasting your time with this teacher.

I took her online class and though it is a lot of material that she makes us use, it is helpful in the long run. She might come off as rude and seems like she might not care, but her material is easy to follow and she responds to help that you need as well as allowing your peers to step in and help you. Wasn't a bad class as it might seem to be.

Wish you could tell the school to fire someone who doesn't seem to understand that most people have more than one class and a full time life. You're expected to teach yourself the method after only giving diagrams and copy pasting information. Exams on saturdays and two sets of hand written assignments plus online hw.

Unhelpful: A student was asking for help with some of the online homework and had apparently missed a step, and the professor just kept repeating "look at the formula!" From what I could see, the student was following the formula to the letter. She's acting like explaining it further would take away from learning what to do on the test.

A SUPER HARD grader. If you answer the question a little different from how she wants it she will take points off and that adds up. It can be hard to know how she wants it. You don't get feedback on your work until after the exam, so it is hard to improve. She replies fast thoughjust not clearly. I once had to ask the same question 3 times.

Never take a course with this teacher! She has an extremely outdated system, does not use canvas, and does not invest into actually teaching the students how to do the work. Her entire system is extremely difficult to understand, and therefore you don't actually learn anything. Not to mention the extreme proctored exams, with no open book!

Worst professor I've had. Doesn't even teach, just makes us do work and learn through online by yourself and taking her exams online are the worst. On one exam she asked everyone to have their camera's setup to see our face and our desks, but I told her it was physically impossible for me to do so and still gave me a 0 after taking the exam.

Prof. Moss gives you the work, you need to understand and complete the homework on your own. She is Not a lot of help, she has you put your question on forum but the question never really gets answered. So you have to YouTube it yourself if you really want to know. This is like an independent study but with proctorio that kicks you off. Good Luck.
