I had Dr. Moore for Cal 2 Spring '07. TESTS: fair (not easy); in fact, he thinks that the more help he gives, the harder he can make the tests. on one test, the integrals were so complex that it took 1 page each to solve them. But even though I made a B+ in his class, I would take the class over again just because he is the BEST PROFESSOR EVER!

Calculus 2 is a difficult course, regardless of the teacher. However, Dr. Moore provided an accessible course that was graded rather fairly. While his lecture style is somewhat broad and proof-heavy, he covers all of the necessary material. In addition, he uploads tests from previous semesters. I would definitely recommend him for calculus 2.

He lectures in a very slow and roundabout way, so if you have a short attention span or get distracted easily it might be difficult to pay attention. exams are fairly easy, and he gives you old exams which are very similar to the current ones. Overall he is a good professor for calc 1 or 2

He lectures in a very generic and indirect way, which was difficult for me to follow most of the time. His homework is fairly short and useful. He'll give practice tests, which were of little help for me. With that said, after completing his class, I'm 50-50 on if I would take him again. The class is difficult, but its mostly the material.

Dr. Moore made this class so easy to understand and his lectures were always funny and interesting. Would highly recommend him. One thing to note, I honestly never opened the textbook. A few homework problems were assigned, but if you take notes in class then you should be fine. Save yourself some money and just go to class, the jokes are worth it

Okay, I think I might have been the only student in the class that struggled (majorly) in this course. Mr. Moore was entertaining and everyone seemed to get the material fine, it just wasn't happening for me. Mr. Moore is very knowledgable in this subject, but sometimes would get off topic or confuse you with his confusion.

Nice guy and the class/tests were pretty easy. The hw is optional but about 1/2 of the test problems come from the hw so it's nice to do it when studying. You get one page of notes (front and back) for the tests (2 for the final) which he doesn't collect. My only complaint is his tendency to ramble on about random theorems during some classes.

Half the test questions are from the homework, and you get a cheat sheet, so every test is pretty easy. Teaches straight out of the textbook, so attendance is pointless.

Dr. Moore is a super laid back professor. He makes class fairly fun to attend with his whimsical attitude. The tests were easy enough, and he gave tests from previous semesters to study before the test. Homework was completely optional, but he did pull some test questions directly from the book. All in all, an easy class with an easy professor.

Because of the move from paper tests to MTLC/webassign tests, 126 with Moore is TERRIBLE. He doesn't really know what he's doing when it comes to WebAssign, and his class structure does nothing to account for how unforgiving WebAssign is. No sample questions, tests harder than homework. Good guy, but avoid for 126.

Calc 2 is a hard class; there's no getting around that. However, Dr. Moore tries his hardest to teach you the concepts and really wants you to do well. He gives 3 attempts on test questions and is very willing to give partial credit if you ask for it. He also recognizes his own mistakes and is very willing to correct them.

Robert claims this was his first time teaching a big class and I believe him. I don't know if he's better in a smaller classroom environment, but this class was very hard with him. The homeworks were much easier than the tests, and the in class information was a much simpler form than what was on the homework. You will have to put in work.

Robert Moore has no idea how to teach. He will go off and talk about things that are not related to the material, especially his failed physics career. He is very old and has no idea how to use webassign, yet everything is on there. He does not give extra credit on homework nor does he give practice reviews before the tests, every other class does.

Robert Moore is fair when it comes to students grades, and will do his best to help them out. However, he does not know how to use webassign, which makes the class a nightmare. His tests are hard, and each question is worth 14 points. Oh, also the final exam is really hard, average was a 50%. There are better Cal2 professors.

Professor Moore is a great professor. His tests are hard, and each question counts as a large portion of the test grade. I blame this on the course being tough and each problem taking a substantial amount of time to complete. He will give extra credit and points back on tests to people who come to his office and present clear work for review.

Dr. Moore is a very nice man, but that doesn't mean he makes his class any easier. Lectures were nothing like the homework and the homework was nothing like the test. Also, he had no clue how to use WebAssign. I'm not sure how he is with smaller classes that don't have online homework/tests, but if the class has anything to do online steer clear!

Moore tries to engage but this course material is so boring that he just can't keep everyone interested. He assigned too many homework assignments which got tedious real quick and everyone hated this class by the end of the semester.

What he is teaching is so much of theories, so that I don't know what to do on the actual exam and homework. Very difficult to understand him. I wonder not many people show up in class because they just self learn in homework assignments.
