Decent prof, he's easily distracted & will go on strange tangents for 10-15 mins. but at least he teaches. It's probably the best you can get at HCC. Final exam is easy but his exams really make you think. Read the book, go to class, pay attention and you will make an A. He has a good sense of humor and will make class interesting.

Took him online for a 5-week summer course. The subject itself was really easy to study, & he's very good. You have to study the assigned chapters, 5 quizzes (3 attempts allowed, takes the highest,25% of final grade) 5 tests (60%, 1 attempt allowed) and a paper (15%). No reviews, you have to use the quizzes as your guide to what's important.

I took Professor Moon for a mini-mester in May, it requires a lot of reading. The quizzes are very helpful and informative. I enjoyed the class and the discussions we had. I wish he taught at UHD. The answers are not googable so make sure to read the chapters, familiarize yourself with the key terms and take detailed notes of the quizzes.

Took this as a summer class: 5 discussions, 5 exams. I really hated the format of the exams. You can't return to a question once you go to the next question. Exams ranged from 30 - 35 questions with 45 minutes to take them. Very nerve-racking. The discussions were interesting & thought-provoking. They're the best part of the class. Wouldn't retake

I accidently bought the wrong textbook, and I couldn't afford to get the right one, so I didn't actually have it, but I got a B, so easy class. It was a 5 week course with a discussion and test every week. The discussions were an easy 10 points a piece and the tests were fairly easy. Double check your answers on the tests and it's an easy A

5 discussions which were very interesting and fun to respond to. He took the time to write at least 3 paragraphs in response to my discussion post. I thought that this went above and beyond in this respect. However, his tests were very hard because most were details from the book (stats). Some questions weren't even covered in the book. 5 tests

Also, for his tests you couldn't go back and check your answers which was frustrating. You also had to guess on some questions because they involved math which shouldn't be tested in a Phycology class. He also didn't offer any extra credit in the class.
