Mr Moes was awesome! Very willing to help you in any way possible. Actually concerned with his students success which is rare. Classes were always exciting. Always available for help if needed. Tests a little hard, but the class and expecially the teacher is well worth it.

A great teacher, very energetic and made a rather boring subject interesting. I don't recommend his class, however - his requirements are insane! I lost 50pts (out of 230) on my final report (13 pages) because I wrote one sentence in first person. Very strict and unbending. A great teacher, just don't take him if you're concerned about your GPA

One of the best teachers I've ever had. He's tough but fair -- don't take his class if you're looking to skate by with an easy A. He makes you work, but if you work hard and don't skip class, you'll be fine. I think a lot of JC students are unprepared for such a class, but those aspiring to attend 4-year universities will ultimately thank Mr. Moes.

Introduction class with no instruction is the best way to describe Professor Moes. Great guy on a personal, one to one level but I felt he had something to prove. His career before teaching was in HRM and instead of nurturing the class teaching this Intro class he scared most of us away. I would rather see him around then learn from him in class.

Easy to do as long as you pace yourself to complete. Will take more classes from!

Took Moes at Maple Woods and finished with Moes at UMKC. Loved his courses while at Maple Woods and still loved his two courses at UMKC. He is a younger teacher with interesting ideas about life, society and the world. Definitely a different type of thinker, which is good and motivating. He is a must take before leaving college.

Jim was a fantastic professor, he cares about his students and would do anything to see you achieve success. He doesn't use your typical teaching style of powerpoint-lecture but he teaches by interacting with the class, visuals, and even advice. He is easily one of my favorite professors I have ever had the pleasure to learn from.

Be prepared to pay $200 for Cengage, a website with the textbook and the assignments. The website only offers a 4-month subscription even though the class I took was only 2 months over the summer. The assignments and tests could have been through Canvas for free rather than paying over half of what the class already costs

Moes was solid. By far best instructor at Maple Woods. He has got to be one of the most caring humans I have met in my life.
