He's not a teacher who cares about students. He's a jerk. He's never stayed on the subject.He said he was going to lock the door when class started,not to come to class if you were late. If your cell went off,it was five points off your final grade.He said he would take points off for spelling and grammer errors on essays.STAY AWAY!!!!!!!

Took him for 2305&2306 ONLINE, amazing, funny, and well respected professor. Great communication, easy HW thru mcgraw-hill & sage vantage. Tests are open note, typical discussion boards w/ responses. Few short essays sprinkled in, and SO MUCH EXTRA CREDIT!!! Layout & syllabus very clear too. You would be making a mistake not taking his course. GL!

Prof. Moore is amazing. Had him for an 8 week online. The class was so coherent and easy to navigate, and the work wasn't difficult. You do not want to neglect the textbook readings and quizzes, because that's a majority of your grade right there. The discussion boards were interesting and Moore provided a ton of resources. Take this class!!

Clear syllabus and grading criteria. 7 discussion board (original post and response), 4 Exams (open book), 1 Essay, Sage Vantage quizzes and tone of extra credits. I find the discussion board is tedious, but he is a lenient grader. I like the material he used too. Recommend.
