This class was my favorite class when I took it. I learned to love science because of the enthusiasm Bro Moore brought to the material. As long as you pay attention and do the homework he assigns this class goes well. Bro Moore answers all questions and is always available to give extra help if needed. Do your part and he'll help as much as he can

He is a really great teacher and enthusiastic about what he teaches. He makes sure you understand. If you are having trouble staying awake, that could be the time of day you are taking the class, or you just aren't paying attention. To stay alert and awake, I would suggest actually listening and taking notes. Great class and teacher. :)

Dr. Moore's lectures are interesting if you pay attention. My main frustration was his lack of communication. He did post the schedule online, but didn't communicate that initially. He extended the deadline on an assignment that half a dozen people missed, but didn't on an assignment that half the class missed because they litterally couldn't.

Doctor Moore is a great teacher. His lectures are easy to follow and understand. The schedule is tricky to understand at times, but as long as you follow it you're good. There is weekly group work, but it is often just to meet and study. 3 exams. Just pay attention and you'll do great.

I took this class as a senior for reasons i will not go into. But i found the reason people don't do well in the class is because they don't listen and don't do the work. So they then blame the teacher for their own stupidity. Bro. Moore speaks very clearly, and is good at dumbing down the complex material. And he cares that you understand.

Very unstructured. We had a textbook, but never used it. His idea of preparation for class was to give us a list of stuff to study, but not tell us where to find info. Random quizes that you had to keep taking till you got an A. Very hard class especially because there was no way of knowing what was expected. Very knowledgeable,but not good teacher

No structure. No teaching how to write scientifically. Basically "write scientifically and then I will tear you apart until you learn by trial and error." Only wrote 4 papers and one Final paper, so they'd better all be good or your grade won't be. Because he doesn't teach, the first 3 will not be good. Class time 2nd block was useless.

The content is okay, there's some busy work, but all foundations classes have that. You'll need to buy a $30 clicker for attendance and answering up to two questions, and failure to produce one will knock your grade down. Also, if he can't go to class, he'll have a TA or other teacher sub in. Seemed narcissistic to me, but otherwise pleasant.

Brother Moore is an awesome teacher! He is very smart and passionate about what he is teaching. He tries to make sure that everyone understands the material and just as long as you do the reading you should do well in his class. He has really cool power points that help you visualize what he's teaching. I definitely recommend him!

Brother Moore cares more about the "spirit of the law then the letter of the law". The homework assignments are your chance to learn more about the subject and the tests are multiple choice based on what is taught in class. If getting an A is all you care about than this class is easy, but I much more appreciated his thought provoking questions

Attendance is not required, BUT there is an easy 3 question reading quiz at the beginning of each class and they are all together worth 30% of your grade. But Brother Moore is a great professor, and he really knows his stuff. Assignments are reasonable and easy, but you still have to know the material.

Brother Moore is a great teacher. He is very into his subject, which helps with the students to get involved. However sometimes he gives lots of reading, more short then long though. Besides that towards the end of the semester it seems that more busy work is given. Overall though an easy class if you do the work.

The struggle that i found and would warn as just a heads up to future students, is that Brother Moore is a really great teacher and loves his subject he teaches so you will have a lot of amazing learning moments. Problem is you also will get a first hand experience of becoming a geo major.

He is a really great professor. Unless you are really into astronomy, the material is pretty boring. And since it is a very lecture based class, it can be hard to pay attention. The work isn't hard, but the tests can be tough and they are heavily weighted. He is really nice and willing to work with you though. You can tell he loves what he teaches.

Dr. Moore is probably one of the most educated science professors at BYU-I. He 100% knows what he is talking about and if you aren't on your phone or laptop the entire time during class, you can really learn a lot. Dr. Moore is also amazing at opening up your eyes to new ideas and perspectives. One of the best in the science department!

Doctor Moore was a really inspiring teacher. I have never had much of a desire to learn about science, but he taught in an interesting way, while still being respectful of the gospel. His tests are a pretty difficult, but he gives the study guide questions in the daily reading. You need to come in to his class with an open mind.

Doc Moore was one of the best professors I could have had my first semester. He opened our Science 101 class by addressing an issue many students struggle with: the compensation of science and religion, and how they fit together. I didn't think they did until I took his class. His lectures are clever, mind-blowing, and homework is very simple.

He is an amazing teacher, and his lectures are fantastic and thought provoking. But, if you don't go to class, or do the quizzes, you will struggle on the essays and the tests. He does put the powerpoints online, but the test are a lot about what we discuss in class and aren't really on the notes. No question is a bad question.

Professor Moore has been hands down one of my favorite professors. He knows what he's talking about, and really strives to help you understand. He's very accessible and willing to answer questions. The tests could be more challenging, but that's just because it requires you to comprehend the material. He also ties his own bowties. I'd say go for it
