Very helpful but she makes this class extremely hard and extremely time consuming. But very helpful to students.

Unnecessarily difficult. Take someone else if you have other time commitments.

She's one of the few teachers who cares about the kind of education we receive at the school. She'll actually grade each and every test; the grade you get is the grade you deserve. Amazing teacher...just not for crybabies.

Good professor. Test was hard. But a very good professor.

True, she does have some downsides, but overall you will learn the hell out of torts if you put the work in. Exams are terrifying. I left thinking I'd failed with a single digit, but it turned out to be my best grade of the semester. Prepare, prepare, prepare.

Prof. Moore is one of the toughest, most demanding, and most gifted profs at our school. She has a reputation for being tough, and it is well deserved. Random Recitation, and an incredibly difficult test. Do not take this class unless you really want to learn the material. People who don't want to work are the ones who complain about her class.

I thought I was going to drop out of law school after my first class with Moore. It was horrific. Day by day, it got better and Prof Moore became more and more human. Before I knew it, she was my favorite teacher and I looked forward to each class. The exam was difficult, but everyone expects it.

Very hard prof Sit in the middle of the classroom and you will never be called on

Believe the hype, she's a tough teacher. However, prep well for her class and take solid notes you'll get a good grade. Put forth the effort by going to her office and ask her questions you have problems with- Professor Moore is hard-nosed, but she is kind and once respect has been established on both sides you'll see she's one of the best at ST.

Yes, her exams are not made to be finished, but she is the kindest, sweetest prof there. She is brilliant! Don't fall behind. Just do the work. Prop II is not nearly as hard as Prop I. (When you recite a case, you'd better KNOW the case and the cases cited within the case) Loved her! She raised the standard at STCL.

Had her FIRST SEMESTER and almost dropped out. You can read the case 5x and she will ask Q's during recitation and you'll have no idea what she's talking about. The most difficult professor at STCL, yet the most helpful. DO NOT make the mistake of carrying a supplement into her class. She will chew you up and spit you out!

Moore is an amazing prof. She really cares about her students and takes the time to help you out. Take advantage of her extra help and you will do well in her class. Be prepared for class. The grade you get is the grade you deserve. The people who dont do well are the people who dont take the time to figure out what she wants on the exam.

She was a great professor. She is extremely helpful outside of class. She went into great detail with the cases. She is sometimes forgetful or unclear about extra lectures outside of class, but was knowledgeable and prepared for class. Would take her again.

The class was hard. I liked her style because it was SO thorough and I felt like I learned a lot, but I also worked much harder than in T's I. Go to Langdell, memorize the prods liability and defamation stuff and you can pull a decent grade. Take notes on the notes after the cases. I didn't attend the extra sessions and still made a good grade.

Great person, difficult teacher. I would recommend getting to know her, but based on One-L classes, I would NEVER take her again (and I did well in her class). Of course, she could be different in later classes, but the experience was so bad, I'll never risk it to find out.

I love prof. Moore. She was very tough during recitation. Read the case until you know it backwards and forward. Her exam was also very hard. I studied my @$$ off and did decent. Multi. choice isn't bad if you know the rules, but the essay was impossible. She is very helpful outside of class. Just be prepared and write down everything she says.

Moore is an incredibly difficult teacher, but don't be too intimidated. The worst part of her class is recitation, so read the case 3x and brief it thoroughly. You really should go write for her to prepare for the essay portion of the exam. You must be prepared for class. Strangely, many (including me), didn't recite, and one girl recited 4 times.

Moore loved my class, but not me so much. I think she's a bit overrated. She is available outside of class to go over sample essays or answer questions, but you have to seek her out and work with her schedule...she had more time for some people. Learn her rules and only her rules. Her exam is difficult, but not impossible if you practice.

Prof Moore is amazing. She expects a lot from her students, but this is law school. It isn't supposed to be easy. She stayed with my class really late the night of the exam to make sure we understood what she wanted. Awesome woman.

For all the whiners and haters - grow up..Professor Moore knows her stuff and she is tough on first year students..well when you get in the real world the judge will be the same way...she was very helpful if you asked and even met students on the weekend..I got through the class with a B+ and if you can succeed in her class then you will succeed.

Professor Moore is the best professor. She is extremely helpful, if you go to her office she will allow you to do practice exams and give your tips to succeed. It is wise to do this because she will ensure you will do well. She is strict but I like it because she tells you exactly how she wants you to answer questions on the exam! Very structured.

Prof. Moore is by far one of the best; if not the best Professor in law school. Negative comments are likely from people who did poorly in her class, have lack of discipline, and are not acountable to their class preparation. She is thurough, strict, and demanding but you will leave her class a better student and will know the material in and out.

Great prof. Not as bad as everyone thinks. Actually very helpful and friendly if you get to know her.

Probably the best professor I have ever had in my life. I had no interest in torts before her class, and ended up loving it! She will help you if you seek it, whenever. She loves teaching and is committed to her profession. Pay attention and participate in class...really pays off in the end! Absolutely loved this class.

At first I didn't like Prof. Moore. She is tough and intimidating, however, she is one of the few professor who takes her time to assist students. She was even willing to meet on Sunday. Ask questions and ask for practice exams, her feedback is valuable.

Hard is an understatement, toughest professor I've had so far. But she is all the best. She demands respect, punctuation, and class participation. Dont mess around and you'll love her, in class she is cold but outside of class she is the nicest lady in the world. Final is ridiculously hard too. Good Luck

Must be prepared for class, extremely professional and very thorough. Low tolerance for those not willing to work for it. Will walk away from this class with a good understanding of the material. Have Torts data drilled into my brain forever. Those who have taken the bar tell me this class makes that part of the bar easy.

She is the best teacher I've had, but she challenges you. I've never worked harder, but as a result I understand torts better than anything. She's also incredibly helpful and would go to war for her students. She spent hours and hours helping students not only for her class but others.

Property 2 with Professor Moore was hard to get used to because she was not the prof. for Property 1. GO SEE HER OUTSIDE OF CLASS. She is always willing to help her students. Recitation is hard if you are unprepared. Read, go see her, and ask questions and you will be ok.

She talks really fast in class and doesn't allow the use of laptops. Her class can be confusing, especially during the negligence half of the class. But she is very helpful if you see her in her office. Do the practice exams and make an appointment with her so she can give you advice. I thought I failed the exam, but ended up doing well.

She is a great teacher with a genuine interest in her students BUT she won't give you an easy A. You have to be willing to work for it. If you are willing to put in the effort, there is nothing she won't do for you. She really cares about her students but she wants to see you care about your education.

Went in not liking this class at all. Recitation is TOUGH. Be prepared. However, Prof Moore is extremely willing to help regardless of what you may think of her. Speak to her, she makes herself so available. Her final is difficult but learn from HER one on one. Ask HER what she wants and learn HER way. Very specific way to answer her exams.

Prof. Moore is a very interesting teacher and loves a good laugh. She wants you to succeed and pushes you to know the law, this includes: verbatim intentional Torts definitions and specific negligence essays. Do not be fooled though, she is a tough lady and will not take any b.s. Good luck and keep your head up. (Watch out for the bullseye)

Moore definitely has a reputation for being tough but I've never met a professor at STCL who cares more about her students than her. I did ok in her class but she has my utmost respect. Read, come to class prepared (know facts/rule/policy) and you will do fine. Pay attention in class and you'll be a pro at intentional torts and negligence.

Prof. Moore has the reputation for being one of the toughest profs at STCL. This is true. BUT, she gives you the keys to success if you're willing to listen. Take her advice in class, and go to her office regularly from the beginning of the semester. If you memorize the definitions of everything, and follow her framework, you should do well!

Prof. Moore truly wants her students to succeed and thrive. If you make an effort in her class, she will be your biggest ally and resource. Wonderful woman and is truly passionate about helping students.

This woman is an exceptional professor and South Texas is lucky to have her. She goes above and beyond to make sure that you understand the material and prepares you for the bar exam early on. She commands respect and truly wants the best for every student. If you are not willing to work for success you will struggle in her class.

She is strict and commands respect and is a tough grader, HOWEVER she is very thorough in lecture. She is great at answering questions and is very accessible. SHE GENUINELY CARES ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF THE STUDENTS. She will help you if you reach out.

Excellent at her craft.

Professor Moore's class was definitely the most stressful in my schedule. Still, Moore is an amazing professor with real dedication to her students. She will meet with you often to help with understanding the material. She is very tough on grading but gives tons of feedback. Cold calls are pretty intense! Reading the case is mandatory, just do it!

Intense coursework, but amazing results. Prof will get you through class and beyond if you ask and take the time to write with her.

There is a difference between mean and having discipline/structure. Professor Moore is emotionally invested in her students. Far from mean! Sturn? Yes. Structured? Yes. Disciplined? Yes. She is not here to just see you through her class. She invests in her students so that they will do amazing, well after her class.

Professor Moore is without question the most caring professor that I have had during my entire academic career. With her great care-comes her high expectations from her students. She will go above and beyond to help any student, and she also expects for students to not only learn the law-but to remember 15 pages of definitions verbatim.

Professor Moore will truly make you work in here class. She's very accessible outside of class and very willing to help students. Simply stated, if you do the work in this class you will do well. If you take shortcuts and are lazy, you will struggle and do very poorly on the exam.

She's a tough professor and this class is extremely heavy on memorization. HOWEVER, if you are willing to work with her, she will work with you. She outlines exactly what she wants, so be sure to pay attention.

All in all a good first-year experience. Extremely knowledgeable. Disorganized, so you will have to overcome that. Requires verbatim definitions. Do the work and you will be fine.

I was iffy on her to start the semester as she was very disorganized and super strict. She requires you to memorize nearly 80 terms and definitions. However, she will give you everything you need for the test so PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS. She was also very accessible close to finals and i wish i would have taken advantage of that.

The most genuine professor I have ever had. If anyone has something negative to say, its because they did not speak to her personally. If you read for class you have already done half the work. (I know everyone says this but its true.) Outline and get your rules approved by her!! Also practice writing for her outside of class and its a guaranteed A

She's passionate and wants you to do well. People that complain about her are just lazy. Read the cases before class because she does random recitation. GO TO HER LANGDELLS! Meet with her and you will do fine. She literally tells you what she expects from you. Material itself is not complicated just understand the rules.

Prof Moore is very demanding in her expectations and she is unwavering in them. However, she goes out of her way to ensure you understand the concepts, if you meet with her. In class the expectation is that you read and understood the key concepts. If you don't ask a question she will assume that you understood the information.

She is great and funny but Moore is a difficult grader. Moore prepares you and tells you exactly what she is looking for on her exams. Be prepared for class with briefs (use online briefs if you don't have time to brief if yourself), ask questions and discuss, and visit her outside of class as often as possible! She's soft spoken but funny!

Hard prof, prob the hardest you'll have as 1L. Does random recitation. You WILL need to read the cases and notes. GO TO OFFICE HOUR ASAP. She goes over your outline, gives you the exact rules. She is a tough prof, but genuinely cares. After her class, recitation for other classes is less scary. Doesn't have PPT/record so pay attention & take notes.

1. Go to her office hours, yes you will have to wait, yes she is hard to get ahold of, yes its annoying, but if you don't go YOU WILL NOT DO WELL. 2. Brief the cases well and read the notes, DO NOT USE QUIMBEE, you will regret it. 3. She wants verbatim rules and will make you find them yourself and go to her to approve them (OFFICE HOURS)

Shelby Moore's TORTS1 class is a challenging one, but if you put in the work, you'll learn a lot. Attend class, read the cases, and use resources like Unstuck ai to prepare - it really helps.
