She is very hard at grading. Even if you think you did well she fails you... I recommend a different teacher unless you want to catch up on your sleep :p

Very difficult teacher! Very monotone! Very dull in her classes. A doozer!!! Dont take this teacher

No Comments

I agree with the devil woman comment. She is extremely difficult to please and it seems no one can possible do well to her. She knows a lot about the subject but doesn't seem to care. Those who actually stayed with the class have received terrible grades from her.

this teacher was horrible. i don't usually like to bash on a teacher but i feel that students deserve a fair warning. i found that she was not friendly or helpful. i'm a history major and i would never enroll in any of her classes again. BE WARNED!

Terrible. Do not take her. lectures will put you to sleep, does not test on anything she teaches. I loved history before her, now I dread it.

Worst History Teacher ever. Pretty much every student dropped out because she is impossible. Throws useless handouts at you constantly and teaches absolutely NOTHING. I took Dr. Lam and learned a ton.

I agree with all of the prevoius posts. She is a very boring teacher, and she dosen't test on anything that she lectures about. Everyone in the class was either failing or had dropped out of the class by the time I decied to.

HORRIBLE!!! GAH. Shes like one of thoes teachers that wants you to fail. By the end of the semester about 3/4 of the class had dropped....

i took the women in american ihistory class with her. it was sooo bed that we only had like 10 people by the time the final came around, and im pretty sure most didnt pass. she is horrible, she has no personality and doesnt explain clearly!! save your time and enjoy your life....choose another prof!!!!

If you enjoy history, a good GPA, or tests that cover anything rationally mentioned in class... then DO NOT take this teacher! She has to make a 60%-80% a C just to let most of the class pass the course! Even then, there is about a 50% dropout rate. AVOID.

Not really a teacher. She shows mostly bad videos and her exams are extemely difficult and on very small details that are not disscussed in class

Do not under any circumstances take tis teacher!!! You will read tons, write tons, and learn very little during your in class time. I am a 4.0 student, and barely escaped the retched laws of her insanity, good luck with your life if you enter her domain.

Horrible teacher! Very unhappy, hard grader... tests extremely hard. You have to be able to devote your entire life to this class in order to pass with a C!! Never take this class.

exactly what everyone else said...

worst teacher ever, **** and will fail you. avoid! abstact questions for 10 question quizes that are worth more than 6 page paper. Worst teacher ever!

I want to drop but im stuck

This is one person that should be put behind a very small desk in a very small cubical with no human contact at all. I highly recomend that this teacher be avoided at all costs. You will regret taking her class if you do.

golf class was a better use of my time than this class

it only took me 3 weeks to realize what i got myself into. from day one i knew this class was gonna suck. after checking this site my conspiracies were confirmed. STEER AWAY FROM THIS TEACHER IF YOU VALUE YOUR TIME!!!

i am a 4.0 student (without really trying) have been my entire life. after listening to the introduction i realized that this teacher is crazy!! she expects way too much from anyone that is taking other classes or has a life. if this is the only class you are taking you might pass, otherwise good luck not failing. i dropped after the first day

I hate this teacher. We are half way through the semester and she has only lectures 3 times. She makes the students teach the class with endless boring presentations about the same damn thing. And when she does lecture she talks down to you and seems brainwashed. she expects you to know everything for the test which is 9 chapters and lecture note

oh wow...i knew i should've dropped this class the first day...but no...i gave the teacher a chance but she doesn't give her students a chance at all...You have a better chance surviving a scene from the movie SAW than you do passing this class

Hmmm, where do i start, this teacher is the worst teacher ive ever had in my life. blatenly unfair and loves to make you feel like dirt. She thinks that its funny to laugh when you dont know something. I dont know one person that likes this teacher and i can honestly say no one ever will. do not take this class. she is a horrible unfair teacher.

seriously, everybody before me is completely right...horrible teacher. not the worst person, but horrible teacher. worst lectures ever, worst tests and quizzes, and oh my god boring. I have a 3.8, correction had a 3.8 before her class. The class was beyond full and now there is only 14 of us. Gave her a chance and got burned. Most stressful clas

HOLY COW by far the worst teacher ever!!!! its almost a joke she is even a teacher and i actually had to pay to take her class. not one bit helpful even if you ask, laughs in your face when you dont know the answer, tricks you on every test, attacks everything you say, tells you the best you can get is a C and is the meanest illhearted person i kno

I took this instructors class with no predispositions. She is boring, condescending, and can be downright rude when emphasizing her political views. We read ton's, took notes non stop, and fought sleep, despite her talking to us like we were 2'nd graders. I had a 4.0 GPA and worked exhaustively for a B. I'm told she doesnt give A's.

She won't answer questions, she will tell you to look at the syllabus. She will put on a video and just leave class to go get a diet pepsi. She never reviews our reading. Her classes are basically completely unorganized. She seriously does laugh at students when they are wrong then denies it when confronted. She is uppity.

she is all over the place,she teaches like your at a major univ.her test are so hard.she gives u way to many handouts,she want a 5 page essay at the end of the yr plus wants a project of a famous person done in front of class,pluss want u to write essay 4 midterms on top of answering the question. she very nice but, it never stops, way to hard !!!!

Still wondering where she gets her test questions as every quiz yields an average of 40% throughout the class. Teaches at a level way too high for a GE class; taught like its an upper-division history class. Getting anything higher than a C seems like its impossible. Bottom line, keep looking for another teacher.

haha did she write the one below?? horrible teacher..rude, thinks she's better than everyone. the info we read was interesting, i just wish she taught it better. not used to getting below an a and she made it impossible. DO NOT TAKE!

i wish i could accurately describe my feelings for this woman. after taking her class, i honestly considered dropping out of college altogether and giving up on my life completely. i can't believe people like her are given the authority to lecture and give grades. i just hope that i save the sanity of just one person...do NOT take her. you would find more productivity by using your money and time to invest in breeding and selling stray cats.

She is inept. Her time management, respect for students time, and effort does not exist. Class info is interesting, but her presentation will put you to sleep. She has already screwed us over on presentations and the semester is only half over. BEWARE! Don't take her class unless you HAVE to.

DON'T TAKE HER!!! you will soooo regret taking her. Her lectures are awful and her tests are freaking impossible, super hard essay questions. I do well in school and i got an F because she was so terrible. Don't take her cause everyone says shes a terrible professor!

Trust me do not take her she seems like she doesn't ever want to be there and has no intrest in history! Her quizzes and tests are unbelievable even if you are a history lover.

I didn't think teachers could be this bad. Her homework assignments are equivalent to a 5 page essay and they about the play and not history. Second, there are 2 within the same week. The thing is, it seems like the whole reason she is teaching is so you have to buy her play and do homework on how to make it better. Not recommended

She shows movies every day. She doesn't teach and hardly lectures. No work is done in class; she grades only 2 quizzes, two midterms, a presentation, a final, and a paper. You have to have many study groups and learn from other students because she will not teach at all.

She has to be the worst professor I have ever met. Out of her whole class, the amount she actually teaches is ~20%. 80% is watching documentary videos, student presentations, and endless handouts. no power points or outlines. She basically set up her class in a way she don't have to do anything. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!

TERRIBLE! One of if not the worst class you can take. The entire class is centered around her play and not on California HIstory. The homework assignments are equivalent to 5 page essays about her play and not on actual history. On top of that she expects you to understand everything from her lectures yet jumps from topic to topic!! AWFUL CLASS!!!!

Absolutely awful teacher. Good luck

Just awful. Seems like a good person, but just a god awful teacher

Professor Moreno is one of the WORST professors I've ever had at FLC. Her way of teaching is putting on boring VHS documentaries. Her tests are also ridiculously tough. With the lack of teaching and involvement in the class, she is not a proper fit for being an instructor. Good lord, she is worst than drinking sour milk.

I really struggled with this class, even thought I studied and took notes. She is really unclear, and her lectures aren't helpful. Usually she puts on documentaries, even though she has previously stated that they are inaccurate. She taught the Salem Witch Trials by referring to the movie The Crucible. Her class was inaccurate and convoluted.

It's a shame that I, or anyone else for that matter, had to pay for this class! She's by far the worst teacher I have experienced at FLC. She is Common Core at its finest. Her teaching style is mindless. If there is ANY OTHER teacher or class you can take, spare yourself, and do so! Oh and she takes God out of history. Good luck!

Expects students to remember information from hundreds of pages of text, all notes taken in class, videos played in class and any presentation, for the exam. Offers NO guidance.

Is the worst!

Professor Moreno speaks to students like they are retarded. All you do is read, and the text book is so confusing to me, it jumps back and forth from time periods which caused me much confusion. I do not recommend this teacher at all. Biggest waste of money that I have spent on college. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASSES!!!

Prof. Moreno is the worst teacher that I've ever had in my entire life. She shouldn't even be called a teacher. She gives a few large assignments throughout the semester, so if you mess up on one of those, you are in a rut. She puts on documentaries all the time and leaves the room. She gives out A TON of handouts to read. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Professor Moreno is easily the worst teacher at FLC. Do not take her class, I read these reviews before taking her class and thought I could handle it. I was wrong, it is not worth sitting through a semester of her terrible lectures and thousands of handouts to barely get a C.

WORST TEACHER I'VE HAD AT FLC. I've been at FLC for several years + consider myself a good student but this is by far the worst class I've taken at FLC. The class is terribly hard while receiving very little direction. We watch a lot of old docu. and class is very dry+hard to sit through. class roster had 35 starting. only about 9 students left

Her lectures are all over the place, She skips around and you're supposed to understand. She allows questions but won't answer them instead she directs you to the textbook. Her tests are typically 10 questions over the last 3-4 chapters, handouts, videos, lectures and presentations. A lot of information for very few questions. Very frustrating!

I graduated from Ponderosa 2016, with a 3.5 GPA. I though this class would be like ones in high school. Wrong. No powerpoints or visual aids other than irrelevant videos that have nothing to do with the tests, unclear instructions as far as what is expected on essays, Have a question? "Well, reread your notes." Worst class I've taken EVER.

Practically makes it impossible to take good notes. Won't answer questions with a clear answer. She shows videos that have nothing to do with the tests that we are trying to study for. The readings she gives us are numerous and over half of them won't be mentioned on the quizzes and tests.

Some classes have very dry material, but Moreno is often wet. She often gives direct eye contact and expects the best from you. The lectures are very long and hard, so keep your head into it. The class did BLOW ME away with the amount of visuals that are supposed to stimulate are heads? I found them boring. Overall do not recommend.

One of the most difficult teachers I have had. The key to her class is to show up to class, take notes, and READ THE TEXTBOOK. She grades you mostly on textbook stuff.

Do not take a class from her. I read the reviews on here before taking her class and thought it couldn't be that bad, but I was wrong. She puts on videos for the entire class period most of the time and the test questions are the most insignificant details possible. I also had to do a ten minute presentation.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE INSTRUCTOR!!!!! YOU DO NOT WRITE ANALYTICAL PAPERS ON HISTORY!!!! I don't recommend anyone take her class. Her textbook for History 312 is terrible and is not in chronological order.

As a person I think shes great, as a professor not so much. Im a 4.0 student and have a C so far in this class (mid semester). NO STUDY GUIDE. Doesnt even let you know what the focus should be on. So its up to you to read all three chapters, study movie notes, and lecture notes all for a 10 question quiz. ESSAY style midterms also ! heads up!

I passed my previous Hist class with an A. It wasn't that I didn't understand history. HER TESTS ARE TRICK QUESTION TESTS. yup, you'll get a lot of answers that say both A & B , all of the above, or both C & D making it extremely difficult to be 100% with ANYTHING! I don't understand how trick questions help your students!

This is the worst class I have ever taken. I had multiple people warn me the class was awfull, but I took it anyways due to it fit my scedule.(regretting it) she talks about what she wants and tests that way to. I always take full time semesters and her class had me overwelmed all semester .Take another hist 313 class. You will tank me later

Hardest class ever. Heavy lectures every time (w/o powerpoint, be ready to listen carefully). Graded on a few incredibly hard quizzes and tests (multiple choice and essay questions)+super long analytical research paper. She graded quizzes immediately but won't give you your essay back until the very last day. Heavy readings. Don't miss class!

She put almost no work into that class. She maybe talked for half the class and then we would watch a documentary. Heavily put her beliefs into her teaching. Also only talked about the progressive stuff from an era and left us to read about the rest and put stuff we had never seen on the test. Also never put the grades up online. Very frustrating.

Do you like clearly organized and well delivered lectures which go over material relevant to what you will be graded on? Yeah? Then don't take her classes. Ever. She is terrible at her job and relies on the students going outside of her classroom just to learn the material. Horrible attitude. Learned nothing from her. Do. Not. Take. Her. Class.

She's a sweet lady, but her lectures only graze the material you'll find on the test. Prepare to do a lot of reading and independent studying on what you'll be learning about. Keep track of your old essays and test scores too, because you will actually have to calculate your grade in the class by yourself.

Her lectures are the worst and all she does is make weird hand gestures. They have NO structure making it impossible to follow along. I love taking notes and she made it nearly impossible to even take anything away from what she was saying. You are required to teach yourself because almost nothing she goes over in class actually ends up on a test.

Literally awful. I had so much anxiety in this class. All she does is talk randomly about stuff that wont even be on the test. Half of the things she says we dont even have to remember, and then she just puts up some old documentary for us to watch. You basically teach yourself. No reminders, no online grading posted - nothing. Id rather not!!

Not enough space. Read whole textbook 100%. Awful lecture, nothing is emphasized. Awful studying since nothing is emphasized. Read whole text+too many small font papers. Terrible tests, doesn't cover class, 1/4 chance at essay question. Project unrelated to class, takes too much class time. Poor work ethics, doesn't know own syllabus. Don't do it.

You basically teach yourself in this class due to the fact that all she tells you to do is, read the textbook and youll know! Her lectures dont really go over the stuff that will be on the tests/quizzes. She talks really fast which makes it hard to take notes. (If you are dyslexic, like me, I do not recommend because it was extremely difficult)

This is the most unorganized professor I have ever had the misfortune of having. She doesn't even have canvas, and sometimes there will be eight handouts for one class session. We're currently halfway through the semester and just last week she finally taught us how to calculate our own grade.

AWFUL! WOULD NEVER TAKE THIS CLASS AGAIN.

Extremely unorganized. Her lectures are all over the place. Doesnt actually teach, uses documentaries and student presentations. Hard to get in touch with. Just dont even bother with taking her class its not worth it.

I don't want to be rude, but I'm going to be blunt. She treats students like her enemies, she gives the most slow, drowsy lectures every, and her perspectives are very outdated. I felt uncomfortable in her class every day, and I struggled to stay awake during her condescending, slow-paced lectures.

Wait a semester to take history if she's your only option, while teaching online classes she refuses to adapt and learn Canvas like her other peers. Entire class of students agreed to email about grievances due to her lack of clarity. She has her TA teach all of the lectures, her entire workload is pushing send on an incoherent email once a week.

This has been the most difficult class I have ever taken at Folsom Lake College, not because the criteria is hard; no. Because you are basically teaching the class to yourself. Moreno will not attend any "mandatory class meetings" She will not tell you your grade, or ever post on canvas. I have received important class info in my JUNK email folder.

Was in HIST 311 but it won't let me enter that. She didn't know how to use canvas so she emailed all of our assignments and tests to us. Very easy to miss an assignment this way. Class was supposed to be asynchronous but she made us meet every week for tutoring lessons that counted toward our grade. Tests are essay questions, group work
