Her class was basically three tests, since I had a B from those three tests she said I didn't have to take the final. Her lectures can be weird and sometimes funny but if you follow the basic concepts of the book you can easily pass this class. For the most part just show up and nod your head to pretend like you understand what she said.

The key to succeeding in this class is finishing your writing assignments early and getting Moya to correct your drafts before the deadline. She is a very tough grader and believes in an "all or nothing" grade system. She does teach the logic part of the class very well, and uses some cute examples to help you remember the truth tables.

Moya is the kind of teacher you'd find at a university. Makes your grow, but a total pain. I succeeded in her class so working hard paid off. Do your readings, be present mentally in class, and do your best to figure her out. I grew a lot but be ready to work hard and reap the rewards!

If you have the chance take her class, you'll be glad you did, she absolutely the best teacher I've ever had. She made me love school again. I was at that point of being miserable in school and she made me have passion for it again, and made me enjoy every minute of it! Thank you Moya, you'll always be my favorite teacher ever! -BB

Shes the best. If you found her class hard, then you shouldnt be in college. Yes, you have to read a lot and the homework amount is normal like any regular college course. Youll be glad you took her class. Give her a chance, shes there to open your mind. Teaching people to have different perspectives isnt an easy task. Shes the best teacher.

He is an awsome professor. His lectures are long but they do help. His tries to get the class involved with discussion and let's you share your own thoughts. He gives great reviews for the exams. His quizzes are a breeze, and makes sure you are prepared. Would definitely take again.

There's three books, you can buy them used. Make sure to do the reading and you'll be fine. There are two group projects,but there's plenty of time to get it done. There is 3 papers due that are 3 to 4 pages , make sure to get them down. The professor gives you credit as long as you get them done.

If you get an A on the final you will get an A for the class. She also gives extra credit for forming study groups. When i took her class, about half of the class got an F and the other half got an A. There is really no middle ground. overall great, but if you want an easy A take someone else.

If you want an easy A, go somewhere else. If you want to LEARN, take Prof. Moya. Amazing! Fell in love with logic because of her. Class moves fast but if you do the work, you'll be fine. Absolutely would take her again!

Professor Moya is one of the best teachers BC has to offer. Do not judge her abilities by the first two weeks of class because she can scare students off but the ones who stay do well. Her lectures are some of the best and she does them in a way that makes philosophy easy to understand. She's a great choice for a teacher.

Mrs Moya was the best teacher I have ever had in my years of school. She made me want to go to school. The lectures were fun and she had hilarious ways of remembering the topics discussed. Always had extra credit opportunities. She had homework every week but it was easy busy work. Highly recommend taking her class

To be fair this was my first ever philosophy course which made it difficult to understand. She goes off on tangents a lot which made me lose focus. I never really understood the lectures. Everyone around me got really bad scores on her essays. Do not really recommend.
