she was extremely good. it was like having a comedian as a teacher.
Mrs. Moore is an excellant teacher. If you go to class and jot down some notes, the test will be a breeze. You actually learn something from this teacher.
Easy class. Never read the book but still learned a lot. Take notes and do the homework and you'll do just fine.
Lauri Moore is a friendly, helpful teacher who knows a lot about her field and challenges students enough to make them think, but not enough to scare them off. Her class does require group work!
My friend recommended this class/teacher to me and I really enjoyed it and found the class interesting. She makes things easy to understand. I would highly recommend this class to EVERYONE!
This class was so fun and interesting.
Lauri was such a fun and enthusiastic instructor. You learn so much through her way of teaching that it really sticks with you. I Recommend Lauri to the highest. She will really challenge your everyday mindframe and make you think.
she is absolutely the best! Iloved her real life experience stories! she really made me look foward to going to class everyday.
This class is easy because she is a great teacher. Her teaching methods are great. She really gets the material into your head without YOU doing all the work. She is fun, non-stressful, interactive, entertaining and very professional. You WILL learn sociology, with ease, with Lauri.
This class was pretty easy...I got an A. Just show up and do the ALTS(in class assignments) and listen. She gives out a study guide before the test with exactly what is onthe test. I definately enjoyed her class and recommend her to anyone who wants or needs sociology.
amazing teacher, I recommend her to everyone. We don't agree on most social issues but she looks over that. You will learn a lot and an easy B
She makes the class fun. Just be there and do your work and you'll be fine.
this was a required class for my major. i learned a lot and she's an awesome teacher and gets the message through. she has good stories, especially about her kids. easy A as long as u do the work. don't even need to read the book!
Just take this class that is all you need to know.She is an awesome teacher.

Dang, she is just too cool! Shes really fun, and not even close to boring!
This class rocked.
The BEST teacher EVER! She is so funny the whole class period I am cracking up, she is so helpful and so clear and explains everything very well. She REALLY cares I recomend this class even if you dont need it, its a great class. I'm taking pysc also and
This is a relatively easy class. She is very funny, jokes around a lot, which makes for a fun class. If you go to class, take notes, and pay attention you will do fine.
laurie rocks!!! definately recommend her classes...a lot of dictating so WRITE IT DOWN, it's what she tests on....
Funny and engaging. Takes an interest in individuals.
Very humorous approach to teaching. The class is semi-difficult. The journal articles are difficult so definately go to the tutoring center or to the teacher for further understanding if you're looking for a good grade in the class.
I HAVE TAKEN TWO CLASSES WITH THIS PROFESSOR AND HOPE TO TAKE MORE. SHE IS A GREAT TEACHER, SHE MAKES THIS CLASS INTERESTING AND NOBODY FALLS ASLEEP BECAUSE SHE KEEPS YOU AWAKE WITH HER HUMOR AND HER GREAT EXAMPLES. i WOULD RECOMEND L.MOORE TO EVERYONE.
A very nice woman, and fun to be in class. She will help you as long as you don't say b**b, that is a no, no and I learned that in her class also. A very nice and resectful lady, Need more like her!
super nice not a really hard class
Amazing teacher! She keeps your attention in her lectures and because of that I did really well on the tests. I hope to have more teachers like her in the future.
This way my absolute fave class! She made learning fun and kept us interested in the topics. I am taking her for SOCVO7 next semester which I heard is a little harder but she is such a teacher I am sure she will make it fun!
She rocks!!! And she's HOT! (she told our class she was sad because she didn't have a pepper next to her name. She's rad!
Shes awsome, took class as requirement thinking it was gonna suck and found it really interesting, the way shes lectures and the examples shes presents is just perfect!going to class everyday and taking notes for test=A!guaranteed.
Mrs. Moore is one of the best teachers I've ever had. If you're unsure about taking one of her classes, don't be. She's extremely caring and approachable (and reminds me of my mom, in a good way). Both classes I took with her I learned a lot and passed with flying colors. I definately recommend this teacher!
Take her class! It's soo awesome!
One of my favorite teachers. Of. All. Time. She's funny, personable, and really knowledgable about what she's teaching. It's easier to learn the material because she relates it to her own stories.
SHE'S THE ONE TEACHER I WILL REMEMBER MOST FROM VC. SHE LOVES THE SUBJECT SHE TEACHES AND MAKES LEARNING IT EASY. THE TESTS ARE EASY, LECTURES ARE LAYOUT SO THAT THEY'RE EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND VERY INTERESTING. AND SHE GIVES A LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN SOCIOLOGY DEFINATELY TAKE HER.
Best teacher at VC!!! Take her! FUn and easy class, very laid back, but wants to teach you to make a difference in the world. She's the best!
SHES THE BEST TEACHER AT VC!! i loved her class..i waS uneasy at first..but learned to love it!! her daughters our around our age so everyone can relate to her stories..that r really funny very cool and approachable teacher...yur gna wish yur mom was that cool : )
one of the best teachers i ever had
A easy teacher!
Very good teacher. Lectures are easy to understand, notes can be used on test. No homework. Extremely informative and just a great teacher! Easy and very interesting class. Funny stories, offers easy extra credit. She doesn't test on anything she hasn't gone over. Would definitely take a class from Prof. Moore again.
very good teacher!! i recommend her.. i love this class soo much im taking her for SOC V02! easy and she is very helpful. 1st exam is a take home. clearly spoken and makes the lecture worth your time and $
Great time, Lori makes this class so much fun. Show take notes, easy A Love her class!
TAKE THIS TEACHER!! she's the best teacher at VC! If you're reading this Professor Moore.. don't change anything!
Great teacher! She sincerly cares about everyone in class and makes every class very interesting. Very knowledgable and offers a lot of extra credit. Can't skip many classes. By the end of the semester you wish it wasn't over!!!
Professor Moore is an amazing teacher. Her soc vo2 class is easy, yet you still learn a lot. 1 take home test, 1 group presentation project, and the final is a service learning project.
Very nice teacher, sweet, entertaining class and lectures are interesting. Uses real life examples to teach material needed to learn. Mainly you take notes, there is 1 take home test, and 2 more including the final which you get a study guide for. One group project that you do mostly in class!
She is the best public speaker I have ever heard! She can hold your attention the entire class!!!! Tell really amazing, funny, interesting stories! NEVER boring!!! Almost NO homework !!! SUPER EASY! Amazing woman!!!!
Really sweet teacher. Definitely there to help you succeed, will certianly help out if you need it. Handles her large class sizes well. Kind of hot in a mommish way too.
She is quite inspiring and influential. Her lectures are extremely good for not preparing prior to the class. She wants her students to pass. She confronts the students that have a C or below half way through the semester to see what she could do to help them. The homework is not very difficult. There are no tests nor quizzes. The final is a paper.
awesome teacher. i hope i can take all her classes. she makes it fun, she makes us laugh and think, one of my favorite teachers ever
She keeps the class from getting boring. She has great stories and examples that she uses. The tests are a little bland, but that's okay. I guess she makes sociology fun.
Her class was the best class I've ever taken at VC. She's fun and interesting. Gives amusing stories to tie up with her lectures. Tests are easy if you just pay attention in class, study your notes, and review the study guides. Definitely recommend her for Sociology!
lauri moore is a saint and a scholar. take me home, ms. moore.
She is the best! Her class is so interesting and its easy to take notes, imposible to fall asleep.
Very nice and laid back. Easy class, no homework.
Lauri Moore is amazing. Sweet lady, great sense of humor. Her Soc 07 class is a little treasure trove of knowledge. I can honestly say I'd feel compromised had I not taken that class. She's an excellent instructor who honestly has a drive to see her students succeed within her classroom, as well as move on to bigger and better things.
Mrs. Moore is the best soc professor. Her class is interesting so much im taking her for the third time. Her lectures are easy to understand and she has the best ex. and stories!! This class is an easy a if you focus
she is an INCREDIBLE teacher! i enjoyed her class so much and wish i had to take more classes from her. the only thing i did not like was the group project.
She is really nice and funny! A very entertaining course. My advice is to make sure you go for all of the ALTs and take good notes. She'll mention people briefly and they WILL be on the tests. She gives you a study guide and KNOW THAT for the tests and you'll do just fine!
I guess she is giving more work this semester, then previous semesters. She is not as easy as the other students have said. She is not hard, but at times can be very moody.
Awesome woman, super funny who wants you to succeed. Complete the minimal amount of work she wants you to and you'll be fine. This class is highly reccomended.
BEST TEACHER EVER. She is so nice and funny. Theres almost always no homework. Highly reccomend this teacher..Easy A. Ms Moore is adorable!
awesome teacher, very helpful very funny, class is not boring at all!! course is fairly easy, test are easy. attend class and easily get an A.
mrs Moore was the best. her class was so easy and she gave u a study guide that had the exact questions on the tests. she even gave u the answers in your note. she said we HAD to read, but i never read and passed with an A. shes really funny and always talks about sex. i recommend taking her for a fun and easy class
Great teacher. She really knows the material and makes the lectures interesting. Tests are easy and straightforward. One of the funniest people I've ever known
Lauri is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She tells stories to explain sociological theories and you really learn so much. She is hilarious, non-judgmental and she explains the notes well. I would HIGHLY recommended her.
Take her!!!! If your major is sociology, she is so helpful. She is so smart. Theres really no homework besides the group work, but overall it wasn't hard. I strongly recommend any person who is interested in soc to take here.
Laurie Moore is probably one of the best professors on campus. She makes everything clear and fun. If you dont enjoy her class then something is wrong with you. she will make you want to change majors
I can't say anything more about her then (i agree w/all the other good ratings). However, she has more of a legacy then her beautiful and smart daughters, the students like myself, which she has inspired to make a difference in this big world of ours. It's educators like Mrs. Moore that make the biggest difference just by going to work everyday...
shes an amazing teacher! no matter what she makes u want to learn! shes super funny and gives you chances to make up the work. attend.learn.laugh.pass.
Lauri's reputation on this site precedes her. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, willing to help, funny, and not overbearing in her curriculum. Furthermore, she is the only teacher I had this semester who was capable of keeping up with his or her own syllabus.
Introduction to Soc taught me so much. Take this class as one of your req's, OR JUST TAKE IT TO LEARN. She is very successful as an educator.
The Real Deal, You'll get an A as long as you complete all the alt assignments, pass the tests, and sign the attendance sheet. There is one group project you work on the whole semester so make sure to stay on top of that. Very interesting class and one of the best teachers if not the best here. I got an A.
Absolutely, hands down, one of the best professors I have ever taken a class with. She makes a 9 am class worth going to. She's witty, and funny. Makes everything clear. And as long as you actually show up ON TIME,take notes and read them over, study, and just do your group & alt work. You can easily pass with you favorable grade. Amazing teacher!!
Best teacher EVER!
FANTASTIC teacher, and an extremely easy class. Moore is super fun and really funny! You don't need the book -you'll want it for one take-home test, but that's it. You can use the one in the library. Your grade relies on a very small number of projects throughout the semester, so make sure you take the time to do them well! They aren't hard at all.
This is one of the best professors at VC. Witty, fun, intelligent, well educated in the subject, very pretty and very helpful. She is the best.
Professor Moore is an excellent teacher. I am so thankful to have had the privilege of taking her summer class. She has a great way of including not only her class but her personal experiences. This class definately kept my attention the whole way through! Your the best mrs Moore!
She is very nice and the class is easy, but I found the class so BORING! Maybe it was just me not liking sociology in general, but It was a drag sometimes. Overall good class
Really liked this class. She knows how to make the class fun, she's funny, and knows how to teach. What more do you need?
Ms.Moore is amazing! She's funny and makes class totally enjoyable. I'll admit that I found sociology to be quite boring, but thanks to Ms. More I have a new found appreciation for it. The book is not needed too much and you have one take home test, so you're guaranteed to do good if you stay on to of your game. :)
LOVED this teacher! knows what she's talking about and makes the class very interesting with her personal stories. doesn't really use the book, one take home test and one main group project. I highly recommend taking her
She is really nice. Lots of group work. Midterm was a joke and some people still failed-- it was take home! I thought this class was going to be difficult, but I found it very easy. My classmates thought it was hard. I have a 4.00, however.
Great teacher i actually learned a lot from her without having to cram information in my head. a lot of notes, personal stories, group work and only 3 tests.
Attendance is mandatory. Grade based on small projects throughout the semester. Midterm is essentially the same thing as the study guide. If you stay on top of your stuff, you will get an A no problem!
Absolutely love love love her!!! Would definitely take this class all over again. Ms. Moore has significantly and positively changed my perspective on life. I've grown and learned tremendously because of her. Take her!!! you won't regret it :)
I will remember her forever. She is sweet, intelligent, hilarious, adorable, helpful, and REALLY cares about everyone. Love, love love Laurie Moore and her class.
Great Teacher. Is passionate about what she does. Easy to relate to what she teaches as she follows up with life stories. If I could take her for all sociology classes I'd switch my major from Psy to Soc
Ms. Moore is such a helpful professor. She is very passionate about teaching and makes her lectures very enjoyable. Although the class was easy, I learned a lot of relevant information. I loved that she gave tons of extra credit opportunities. Overall my favorite class of the semester!
LOVE HER! Super funny, kind and just an all around awesome person/ teacher. Really enjoyed her class. Highly recommend taking a class with her. The workload is minimal and the test are fairly easy, she gives you a study guide that is similar to the actual test.
Omg ! She is such a a amazing person, her lectures Are smooth and not boring, she is always willing to help, and makes class 10x better! Always has all her student laughing, I will highly recommend her, she gives no homework or quizzes but with the exception of paying attention and showing up to class ! HIGLY RECOMMEND YOU TAKE HER !
Her lectures are really clear, you can tell she's been teaching a long time. As long as you pay attention in class tests are easy and she gives tons of extra credit. I learned a lot, her class is super fun! I would definitely recommend her!!!
Ms. Moore is a great teacher - but I absolutely hated the group projects. Write a group essay verbally, in class, with five 17-19 year old kids who have zero interest in participating or trying - yeah sure, that works out great for everybody. I would have enjoyed this class and would have gotten a better grade if there weren't any group projects.
Very intelligent and nice. Interesting material. Nothing bad at all about her or her class.
Ms. Moore is amazing! I had never learned Socio before and she made everything so interesting. She is a great teacher and her lectures are not long at all they were funny to. There is a book bt we didn't even open it. There are three tests including the final and they are not too hard. but still study. Def recommend here.
She is a debbie downer but amazing class. Lots and lots of group work. Just show up and youll pass the class.
Professor Moore is such a great teacher! Her lectures are really funny. There only 3 tests throughout the semester: 2 exams and a final. There is a group project which is pretty easy but it depends on the people in your group; how motivates, how much work they want to do etc. She gives study guides before each exam and its all multiple choice!
The class is straight forward show up & take good notes because that is what the tests are heavily based off. Gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. She is very passionate about what she is teaching you & makes learning hilarious but still informative. The only complaint I have is the group project but that was a one time thing.
Prof Moore is such a great professor! She has some of the best advice i have ever heard. She will also have you laughing the whole time. The stories she tells make you remember her lectures. Easy A she tells you everything she wants on her assignments. Must read chapters before class because she gets upset if you dont know the topic during lecture.
Drove from Simi Valley to take her class, best class ever. She is not only an amazing professor but an amazing person. So grateful for the opportunity to take her class. I feel like I actually learned and took away something from her class. If you don't take her, you'll regret it. AMAZING.
Amazing woman! Thanks to her I see my life & education in a much more positive way. She not only helped me grow as a student but as a person. Take her class and you will be so happy you did! Already on my way to take a 3rd course with her. Not boring. HW is fun. Class projects are awesome. She deserves all the positive hashtags!!!!
LOVE HER!!! Great professor and good person in general. She is very helpful & clear. Her jokes are cheesy but she will definitely make you crack a smile and makes the class intresting.
Lauri was a fantastic teacher. I loved her lecture and wished it was longer than an hour. She was very clear with instruction, and the group project was easy even if the rest of your group slacked off
Moore is amazing professor, I learned so much from her, she truly cares! Please take her you won't regret it! You'll really love taking her class!
Wonderful woman. Definitely take her class! Her lectures are phenomenally interesting and I loved her. Her grading is fair, we had one group project so just make sure you know how to deal with people not doing their part and crack down on them as soon as possible. Her tests are very fair too. Highly recommended! Shes also really funny :)
Her class is fairly easy. Take home tests. Not much homework. She is very passionate about what she teaches. One of the best professors I've had at VC. She is willing to help you out if you need it. I've taken her Intro to Soc. and Social Problems class. Be ready to work with others! She is very funny too, which is a plus!
Great professor and great lectures. Gave a whole new perspective on things! She's really funny and so easy to talk to. She has a roll sheet so she definitely keeps track of who attends class! Study your notes and study the book and you'll do fine on the tests. Expect lots of group activities! Overall a really great PROFESSOR, recommend 10/10 :)
I enjoyed taking her class. It was easy and she was funny.
She's a good professor has interesting lectures, however if you're more of a conservative person then this class won't exactly connect with you as all the other reviews left on her as it did with me. She brings up trump every now and then but not to the point of annoyance. She also brought up Bill Clinton and his scandals so that was pretty great!
Mrs. Moore was amazing! She doesn't care about grades, she cares more about helping make a difference in your life. I would really recommend taking her.
The only I could see someone not liking her class is if they don't believe in climate change, are racist/sexist and/or just don't care about any issues. She really opened my eyes about important issues going on all over the world. At first I was a little skeptical because of the group project but as long as you get good team mates it's all good!
The best professor at VC! I'm so sad she's retiring soon, but I'm so glad to have been able to take her class. Taking one of her courses was beyond educational. I'm so grateful to have taken her course.
Great professor she's funny and you learn while having fun always looked forward to having her class the only thing you would have to worry about is test study for your test they aren't hard she's an easy pass
Awesome professor! 3 tests, one being take home. Her lectures are amazing and she has a great grading criteria. Show up to class do the work and study for test and its an easy A! Love her would take her again��
While Lauri is a great person, I didn't really enjoy this class very much. The entire semester was spent doing a group project and then having a presentation each class period. Essentially, we were teaching each other about the social problems, but I didn't pay to have my peers teach me, I paid to have a prof teach which she really didn't.
Worked in groups basically every class. One take home test and a couple group projects with presentations. She doesn't require that each member of the group speak in front of the class so if you get nervous, it's alright!
I strongly suggest you take her because I have learned through her lectures and notes. I enjoyed her class which Im also taking her in the summer, but anyways, she has strongly motivated me to major in Sociology.
Ms. Moore is amazing! She cares about social issues and definitely about her students! She just wants you to succeed. Only advice is to show up to class because you can't make up ALT's in her class and that makes up most of your grade.
Ms. Moore was my fourth professor here at Ventura College and I can easily say that she has been the best one I have taken so far. Not only does she genuinely care about her students, she gives them every opportunity to excel and thrive in her classroom. Learned alot in this class while having to do a small amount of work. Amazing person & teacher.
Mrs. Moore is a great person, inside the classroom and out. She wants her students to learn but also to not suffer from stress and anxiety normally associated with college courses. I think she's one of the only professors at ventura college who cared more about me as a person than just as a grade in a gradebook. Can't recommend her enough!
Very interesting class with great lectures and funny stories Professor Moore is a nice professor
Lauri is hilarious. Her intro class is easy and you'll basically have no homework. The first test is a take home, so it is open note. Pay attention in the lectures because that will be all of the test material. She tells lots of personal stories but they are all relevant and really funny. I would take her again in a heartbeat.
Unlike other classes you will never forget what you learned in her class. All her personal stories correlate with what you're learning and she makes it easy for you to understand and actually grasp the concept. Not only is she inspirational and caring, she really makes you think about your life and future. Take her, you won't regret it.
Lauri Moore is an AMAZING professor, and her class has been one of my favorite classes I've taken at VC. I love hearing her stories (which always coincide with what we're talking about in the lecture), and she really gets you to understand the material by making it relatable.
Professor Moore was by far my favorite professor at VC. She is so passionate about sociology and loves her students. She opens up your mind and makes you really think about society. You work in groups a lot so be prepared to be social!
I took the 4-week online class over summer. Super easy and lots of extra credit!! Do all the assignments well and extra credit and you will pass. She is also super understanding and sweet, A MUST TAKE!
I absolutely loved Prof Lauri, I thought she was amazing. Thankfully enough when the pandemic happened she lightened the workload, but the class wasn't the same without seeing everyone in person. It's easy to pass her class, but with the pandemic, it was even easier, and not as rewarding tbh.
Loved her so much I made sure to take SOC V02 with her. Very understanding and helpful. Tests were fairly easy when you studied material. Fun class, shes super funny and you can tell she loves teaching!!!!
