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

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 :)

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!

Skip class? You won't pass.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.
