She is almost always late to class and is very biased. She grades papers differently than what she says she will, by her opinion only.

I didn't think she was so bad, but she is a big time feminist, so all u other guys out there should avoid her like the plague. Also, all well written papers will get anywhere from a B to a C, but a badly written paper, that she likes will get an A. If u can read her mind, which is an impossible task, u will probably get an A.

Grades based on 'what she likes' rather than content- as long as you write verbatim what she says, you'll do okay.

She is a very intelligent person and is ready to impart her knowledge to those students in her classes. In order to achieve the most success in those classes though, one must be receptive in class and involved in the discussions. She will always listen to well supported arguments that are contrary to what she has stated about the books under discussion. Prof. Moore will never belittle anyone nor will she make a student feel uncomfortable because of a difference in opinion. She will explain the interpretations of the novels to her fullest.

Dr. Moore is obviously very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject matter of the class. Her enthusiasm for the literature comes through in the way in which she addresses the class. I wish I could take another class with her. It was very enjoyable and educational. I loved the theme and will definitely read more by the authors studied.

She is the worst teacher in the world! Her papers she assigns has to be written how she wnats them to be and how she thinks of the book. You can't have your own opinions or voice them. To her you are wrong. And you have to buy a lot of english books.

She is a very tough grader that is often unclear of what is expected beforehand. Her grading system makes no sense, when you get papers back there are multiple grades on it such as A-/B+.

Mrs. Moore, has been my favorite professor here at Whitewater. She is upbeat, inspirational, helpful and cheerful. What Mrs. Moore teaches you is so much more than English. She teaches you how to think, how to recognize connections and how to understand the bigger picture. Take English 101 with her, you'll learn more than you thought possible.

The breadth of information taught in this class (African American Lit) was eye-opening. I really enjoyed when class discussions leaned toward those authors from 100 years ago (or more) and how they were speaking directly to us today. Dr. Moore's comments on my papers were thoughtful.

Honestly, did not enjoy her as a teacher whatsoever. She doesn't let you ask a question without making you feel stupid about it. Although slavery is an important topic to discuss, her entire ENGLISH class is basically a history lesson on slavery. She will often sit in front of the class and just stare instead of letting us leave a few minutes early
