Holy Crap!!! This guy is nuts, but he's a lot of fun. Don't be afraid to stand up and defend your opinion - he really appreciates it, especially when nobody else in the class will speak up. He can be fun if you relax and go with the flow.

Moya's the MAN!!! Easy class and a guaranteed A!!! Just attend and take notes, you'll pass with flying colors. Much like Crawford, he's biased, meaning he teaches only about Mexican culture (Crawford teaches about black culture). but he makes you laugh and that makes the time fly by.

He is the worst "theacher" I've ever had in my life. I suggest the administration to record his classes and how bad the college budget is spent on a class that after a month doesn't let the students know what the objectives are. No sylabus given yet, after 4 weeks. Makes fun of all religions without

Mr. Moya is a cool guy. Although he's kinda crued sometimes with some of his unappropriate jokes, it's not all that bad. If you are one of the few who actually take notes, you'll learn a few new interesting facts and ace the final. There is a midterm that's 10 pages, a very short presentation, and a final which is an essay and multiple choice test.
