I'm really enjoying her class. She doesn't believe in high stakes testing, so we have a bunch of different types of assignments that make up our grade. Lots of interesting debates and she is really funny and sweet. You can tell she enjoys teaching and class is always interesting. Lots of groupwork and games and stuff.

This class is easy if you just do the work, none of which was too hard. She gave fun lectures and I enjoyed the documentaries she selected. Some people would rather complain than do the work required to earn a college degree. If you don't want to learn, don't go to Moore's class.

Best. History. Professor. Ever!! Class was fun, engaging, and teaches you things that are genuinely useful in Context of our modern world. She clearly cares deeply about students understanding and enjoyment, and making her class accessible to low income students. If her other classes were part of my degree, I'd take all of them in a heartbeat.

Crystal is understanding and kind. She makes an effort to teach the history that isn't taught in high school. She teaches in a flipped classroom, with usually 1-3 hours of homework outside of each class with review in class. Tests are online and open note. She gives pretty frequent pop quizzes but also offers a lot of extra credit opportunities.

This class has been so fun. We play games such as jeopardy and Pictionary to help us review before exams, which are open note and easy if you study. There are many chances to earn extra credit. There are min of 2 quizzes due a week over readings/ a video but they aren't very hard and usually take me about 30min. You learn a lot with Crystal.

If you follow assignments like a mindless worker bee you'll get an A. But if you don't and you know too much about the subject you'll soon realize that this class is full of wrong answers and opinions. It's like a bad highschool class which is what you should expect in community college apparently.

I liked that this class included fun games during class. The only issue I had was watching and reading the lecture content between classes. Especially on Tuesday or Wednesday nights. The lectures are all outside of class which is not beneficial for someone who works at night and has to get up early for another class. Overall the class is okay.

Crystal Moore is the MOST understanding professor, she is quick to respond to emails and responds back with lots of sympathy for circumstances. I took her virtual class and there was, in my opinion, kind of a lot of work. There was on average 2 quizzes and a large discussion every week plus more. Grading is clear and she gives clear feedback tho.

She is very strict on plagiarism and AI usage, so you can't cheat in her class and will get one warning after that your pretty much receive an F for the whole class so it's better to drop. I take her online, so be prepared for a 500 and 600-word discussion post almost every week. Would not recommend her to take online, lots of workload.

She made the class fun and easy to understand. Every week you have to read one chapter out of the book and watch one video, but only took around 30 minutes as you can skip through the video and skim read. The final and Midterm were the only tests taken in class and she gives all of the answers ahead of time and you are allowed a cheat sheet.

Not a very hard class, but absolutely refuses to give out anything above a 95 percent on writing assignments. No one ever received 100% on anything.

I took this as a 12 week course and it wasn't hard. None of the quizzes and tests are in lockdown browser so the book is fair game to use, but none of the tests were particularly hard as long as you do the reading. She does give out weekly discussion boards where you have to write 500 words but questions are straight forward. 2-4 assignments a week

I read some complaints on grading below, but Crystal uses rubrics when she grades anything, which she gave to us ahead of time. She also actually reads our papers and doesn't just automatically give a 100. She offered 30 pts of extra credit in the class, which is worth more than an entire discussion board. You have to be trying, to do badly.

I could not be happier that I took professor Moore's class my last semester at MCC. I was feeling really burnt out and like the profs here didn't really care. Then bam! She is incredibly kind and starts each class by asking how we are doing. She listens. She adjusts assignments when we are overwhelmed and gives kick ass review sessions.
