Dr. Moore loves South Park....he's cool.
Good sense of humor. I thought he was great. Highly recommended
funny
He is a very nice guy. If you always go to class, you can get a good grade..
Pay attention in class & see him in his office to get an A, Fairly easy.
place/name tests are the WORST! Take good notes, you'll do fine!
Boring, test format changes on every test
Easy B. Manageable A. Makes boring subject tolerable. Good guy.
He is very outgoing and brings fun to class everyday. HE IS NOT BORING!
his class was a good class just go and take detailed notes
Very funny. Class is sometimes boring. Test were kind of hard. Just go for a C.
LOVE this man! Smart, fun, traveled, supportive, plus tres hot!
He's funny, class is pretty easy.
really enjoyed his class
Good teacher. Place name quizzes not so cool.
one of uncc's best. hes fun, yet challenging. hes an experience.highly reccomend
VERY FUNNY MAN! Pay attention, you will miss a joke. Hard class, but worth it!
A superb professor, with real insights and definately one of the funniest
Very EAsy, FUNNY AS HELL, not boring at all, if you take his class, YOU WILL LOOK FORWARD to it and He is the BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! ever!!! Taught me and made me what i am today! THANKS Dr moore
great teacher. Very funny! Class was always interesting. If you get a chance take this guy, he is one of the best
great teacher. Very funny! Class was always interesting. If you get a chance take this guy, he is one of the best
One of the best teachers on campus. You have to have to really have a sorry personality not to like him.
he's funny
Awesome teacher!! You have to be insane not to like this man...take him for every class you can!
Recent winner of the 2003 Bank of America Teaching Award for best teacher at UNCC and well deserved. Unless you have ever fallen asleep during intercourse, you will probably have enough sense of humor to find yourself laughing sometime during class.
He is a really good professor! The information is sometimes boring but he makes it intresting! Lots He gives you a lot of chances for extra credit and he is pretty entertaining! I must add if he wasn't old enough to be my dad I would totatlly into him :o)
Good teacher! Friendly. Interactive. Great with students! Hard to tell what exactly he wants you to know and what he doesn't for tests. Can get slightly boring, but he does his best to make it as interesting as possible. Good man! I would take him again.
Great teacher!
This is NOT an easy class. Don't take this class thinking that it will be an easy A because I have a 3.2 GPA and I am busting my tail to get a C in his Global Connections class. His tests are very difficult. BEWARE!!!
AWESOME teacher...totally hilarious and learns everyone's names...treats it as a college class, so don't expect an A just for coming. KNOW YOUR STUFF. It's worth a C in there just to have such a cool teacher...extra credit will bump up your grade!
He's always makin crazy jokes but to pass his class all you have to do is really study the book and your notes
He is a great teacher but is not going to spoon feed you an A.
Awesome teacher! Very funny! Makes learning fun, not an easy A though you gotta go to class and actually go over the notes! Very fair, and cares how class does in general along with individuals!! Dont talk while he's talking or while anyone else is!
GREAT TEACHER IF YOU CAN TOLERATE SARCASM, FUNNY---THIS IS NOT A CAKE COURSE THOUGH, YOU HAVE TO GO TO CLASS AND STUDY YOUR TALE OFF, TESTS REQUIRE CRITICAL THINKING SO BE PREPARED, AND ALSO HE HAS ASSIGNED SEATS
No Comments
He is an amazing teacher.He tries to get to know you as a person not just as a student. He cares how your are doing in his class, but you also have to care how you are doing or you can forget it.And whatever you do don't let your phone ring during class.
Very easy to get along with and always trys to help and keep the material interesting.
deff. not an easy class. Requires alot of thinking. He is funny, etc keeps the class going along. Sometimes goes over time limit for class (which isn't fun if you have to go across campus!) I enjoy the class even though i'm not big into geography.
Nice man, and very intelligent. Doesn't tolerate BS, and you have to know your stuff, but he is very cool. Has a serious problem with being clear, but knows it and will work with you. Brownie points are helpful---ask intelligent questions and answer his questions and you will do fine.
Not an easy course. He makes it semi intersting and he is funny. Tests are hard and he is sometimes unclear but he will usually work with you if you have a problem. He doesnt tolerate talking or disturbances but all around its an ok course. You just HAVE to study!
the BEST teacher i've ever had! he really cares about every individual, and is willing to help you!! he makes class very interesting and he makes it a point to know everyone in the class.
Probably one of the better, if not best, professors here. Doesn't tolerate BS, but will joke around on occasion. Gets to know people. You will have to study, but if you do, tests are fairly easy.
he is a bad prof teaching a very very very hard class. his test make no sense and its all BS
Great professor. Energetic and fun! 1. Take good notes. 2. The chapters in the text are very long. Pay attention to what he pinpoints as the key areas, that way you aren't reading for hours. 3. Don't take on the maps the night before the test. There is a lot to remember. He gives extra credit.
This class is the biggest pile of BS ever. He talks for 50min straight. Funny but that doesn't help on tests. Notes make no sense. Tests are impossible, questions are pulled out of his ass. His old and he might be losing it. loves using his hands and talkin' bout bar-b-que. Does give points on test
He's a good teacher, but he expects students to remember too many details about things he covers for the test. the test are hard. u will need to read long chapters in the book. the map quizzes are easy and will help your grade if u take the time to study for them.
He is funny but a bad teacher. Gives confusing notes and expects you to remember pointless facts for the test. Map quizzes are easy if you study. Nice guy but bad teacher.
Class was unbelievably hard. Very confusing, tries to help out but just confuses everyone more. He's a nice guy and has a decent sense of humor. The map quizzes are not bad if you study, but the test are impossible. If you have luck on your side, take the class. If not, be weary (very weary)!
Horrible class, bad teacher. Ironic, the name of the class was global connections, but not one connection was made all year. Test R hard, quizzes are easy but only count for 1/4 of your grade. Don't cause any interruptions, he'll bite your head off. Studying doesn't help, very hard class. STAY AWAY!
This class is horrible. He is all over the place with his teaching so you never know whats going on. Quizzes are easy if you study but the tests are really hard.
Do not take this class. The quizzes are easy but don't count for a significant amount of your grade. The test are hard, you just about need to memorize the entire chapters assigned, including every picture and table. Taking the test are like playing the lottery, its all just a matter of luck.
ok I made an A in the class but he is EXTREMELY unclear at times.Other times he says "this would be good to know during exam time" Honestly All I can say is take EXTREMELY DETAILED notes and ALWAYS pay attention. Don't miss a day (especially fridays)if you go to class take good notes its an easy A
The easiest class I've taken in UNCC!!! He's very helpful and clear. You have to go to class and pay attention. It's possible to get a B without opening the book but for an A you'll have to study a little. The quizes were really easy as long as you put in the time studying the maps. Very fair and curves when necessary. I highly recommend him!
Very laid back relaxed and entertaining class. Teacher is a stand-up comedian everyday.Don't be fooled by past experiences of easy Geography classes.This class is hard!I made the mistake of studying the book and bombed first few tests due to conflicting information from what teacher says and what book says.Ignore the book and focus on notes!
just study and youll be fine for map quizes
Interesting Teacher.. the topic may be boring but he will go out of his way to spice it up a little.. test are hard but if you study you will do fine.. Quizzies can be difficult.. lots to memorize
Easier than elementary school, place quizzes are so easy and tests are basicall what he goes over in class, with a little bit of book material. Coolest dude on the planet
This guy is a great professor. He is always cracking jokes and making his classes fun. The only hard thing about this class are the place-name quizzes and exams, but he gives you all the materiel you just have to study it.
Best Geography Professor ever! he's very willing to help if you have any kind of question. tests include definitions and essays, not easy. if u r a geography person, u'll like this class and definitly like him!
He was all over the place with what he taught. Map quizes were easy, but test were somewhat difficult. i read the book to get my B. Notes helped somewhat.he loves maps and barbque, thats about it
Dr. Moore is the coolest, nicest professor you will ever meet! However, his lectures can be somewhat hard to follow and tests are short answer/essay format. But he is very willing to help students in any way he can.
Dr. Moore was a great prof. He was very funny in class but still got his point across. Tests were easy if you studied. He was always available for help. He's a cool guy!
Very nice treacher. Goes out of his way to help you. He keeps the class intrested by telling funny stories. Map quizes are easy, and if you go to lecture the exams are a piece of cake. very large class, but he still cared enough to learn everyones name. TAKE HIM!!!! He is AWESOME!!
Dr. Moore's a pretty good teacher. His test arent too easy but the quizes are a peice of cake if you study. He gives extra credit which helps a lot. No attendance Policy but He will randomly show questions that are on the test. He is kinda hard to follow because he tells so many stories.
I really like Mr. Moore. He is funny and he makes an effort to engage the class. He even took the time to learn my name in a class of 180. The tests and quizes are not hard, and there is no homework. If you study and take notes, you'll do fine!
This guy is hilarious! He loves to joke around and makes the most funny comments. Class is awesome cause he gets the class engaged. Tests and quizzes are easy. Take detailed notes and be sure to do your place-maps b4 the quiz. Overall, a pretty nice semester...this guy ROCKS!
I actually thought he was a bad professor, he was funny, but he was very scatter brained and got off topic alot. I found it hard to get the point of his lecutres. The Place Name quizes arent bad, but I thought the actuall tests we're very hard. Be prepaired to study a ton if you want to do well in this class
No Comments
One of the best!
Really interesting class. Can get off topic, but he makes the class enjoyable. The tests can be hard if you don't come to class, but if you do they are easy. Gives extra credit. I thought the class was easy, but you do have to pay attention in class. Do that and study your maps for the quizzes and you'll get an A.
Great Teacher. Cares about students. Humorous and fun. Fair. Interesting. Interactive. Highly recommended.
HILARIOUS guy! He makes class fun, but he does know his "stuff" about Geography! I wouldn't consider the class itself to be "easy", but you should just read the book and look over the handout to get a good grade in there. He adds extra credit here and there, so always show up to class after tests. Overall one of my fav. professors
He is very funny, but sometimes it seems like we play a little more than work..which is ok sometimes but not all the time.....especially when its test time...but he is cool try him out....
Awesome teacher! Makes the class fun. Tests can be a little hard, but gives a lot of extra credit. Place name quizzes are easy and helps to boost your grade. He is really helpful if you go talk to him, he really cares about his students. Take him if you can!
Although he's a funny guy, he gets off topic a bit too much. Class attendance isnt mandatory but he takes too much from his lectures to put on the test which are pretty hard. You can read the whole book and memorize it, but do poorly on the test if you dont go to class. Many people find it hard to concentrate in the class.
Professor Moore was and amazing teacher! As long as you go to class and study you will be fine! He was really funny and tired to include real life stuff into his lectures. But you HAVE to go to class and you have to read the text. If your willing to do that you should have no problem making an A or B!
He is a great professor, one of the best that I have had. He's hard, but fair. To do well in his class, you definitely have to go to class regularly, read parts of the book, and study hard. He's a lot of fun in class, tells jokes, and is extremely sarcastic.

Prof Moore was pretty good in the long run. Sometimes a bit confusing and vague, but makes up for it with easy tests. He loves Southpark and quotes it frequently. And for the love of God, don't cheat...this kid behind me almost got his ass kicked by the old man...he punted a chair across the front of the room to get to him...sassy, oh, my!

Although I had him 4 years ago, he sucked. Doesn't know anything about Geography. He's one of the main reasons i had to take summer school. If at all possible, talk while hes talking. He hates it, but i could really care less and so should you.
Had him for regional planning. The class by no means was easy, but Moore is a great professor. Good humor and he cares about how you are doing in the class. If you are ever confused, simply speak with him after class. He requires you to think and work. If you do that, you will PASS.
I had him for global connections and I thought he was awesome. he has a great sense of humor that makes the time go by in class. He pretty much tells you exactly what is going to be on the tests/quizzes, so its easy to prepare for them.
Moore is a crazy old man. he makes a lot of jokes that waste time in class. he mumbles a lot too. don't sit in the back if you take him. place name quizzes were easy if you study a lot and exams are hard because his material is unclear. he HATES talking in class. usually gives extra credit though and adds poins back to tests.
if u aren't ready to get down to work and study you butt off don't take this guy he is really funny and has a great sense of humor which makes the class go by faster. but he has map quizzes and there are 300 some places u have to know but only 50 are actually on the quiz but he doesn't tell you which ones. Don't take if you are still transitioning
PROFESSOR MOORE IS GREAT! I WISH HE TAUGHT SOME PSYCHOLOGY COURSES! JUST GLANCE OVER THE BOOK BUT STUDY HIS LECTURES TO THE LETTER! COME TO CLASS EVERYDAY AND YOU SHOULD MAKE AN A! DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! I PROMISE YOU IT WILL MAKE THE EXAMS A BREEZE IF YOU CLARIFY THE MATERIAL WITH HIM IN CLASS.
Awesome professor. Funny, gives great notes. Tests are hard if you don't study. YOU HAVE TO TAKE NOTES AND ATTEND CLASS. Extremely hard to pass if you don't. Would definitely take him again!
I had him for global connections and he is absolutely HILARIOUS but SOOOOOOOOOO HARD! I studied A LOT and read the book but there is just too much material to think about at once. His tests are multiple choice but they are extremely difficult. If you are good at memorizing, the map quizzes will bring your grade up.
Very funny teacher. Made class enjoyable.
Very good sense of humor, keeps class interesting, sometimes says things that you can't believe he said. Sometimes the things he talks about in class are kind of tough to follow but for the most part is very good at putting things in normal terms. Tests are not hard at all if you go to class and place-name quizzes are straight foward. Recommend him
Horrible! Super hard, way too much material to remember. Lectures are hard to follow b/c he gets off topic very easy. Likes to joke around, which is distracting. Just barely pulled a C out of this class!
Great professor, very nice guy, has a million interesting little stories, will help you in anyway! Tests are a bit hard if you don't study very well, quizzes can be tough; I still got an A. Participation will help you tremendously. Take him!
Great professor and person. I have learned a lot from his courses. Gives a lot of material, but exams are broad as well. Go to class, read the freakin handouts, pay attention and ask questions, oh yeah and study. If you fail, you dont belong in college.
This professor was very boring honestly..you could barely hear him when he would tell his little stories. But otherwise, he's a decent guy. He helps you when you need help and if you go to class and study, you should be fine.
He is a very nice guy & always tries to crack jokes. Unforunately his tests are pretty difficult. There are 3 including the final & 3 place map quizzes which are pretty easy if you study. But he does give huge curves on the tests. Very nice guy, class is kind of difficult. But if you go to class & study, theres no reason not to make atleast a B!
Dr. Moore is an incredible professor. He has knowledge that most do not. Yes, his classes may be difficult, but you actually LEARN things.
He was a really good teacher and made class fun! You don't have to go to class, but you really need to if you want to do well in this class.
Great Professor, very funny, easy to understand and the class is setup as a no fail class unless you don't attend or follow the syllabus.
He is so great and helpful. He will work with you and really cares. His classes can sometimes be boring at first, but if you stick with him, it is well worth it. My fav, prof at UNCC.
TAKE HIS CLASS! His class can be slightly difficult but only if you don't study. He has map quizzes, as well as tests, they both count for the same amount. He will work with you and on the first day has you fill out random facts about you like your favorite genre of music. He really takes the time to know every student and genuinely cares.
Global Connections with him is super hard. If he knows your name he pobably doesn't like you, best to remain nameless. Sit in the middle (not the back) and try not to talk to him or get his attention.
He is a funny and super nice guy but he makes the material overly difficult. There is way too much material for each test and he is very vague about what he wants you to know. His lectures are hard to understand since he goes off topic all the time and talks very quiet. Test and map quizzes are difficult and studying the book is a MUST.
Dr Moore is a great instructor. Pay attention, study the material, and you won't have any problems.
hard, there are much easier lbst's to take.
Dr. Moore can be a pretty funny guy but he is extremely smart and knows what he is talking about. Do not get on his bad side. He gets to know is students well. It is a 176+ class and he knows everyone's names, so try not to act up. write all of the notes. Review for the quizzes and tests. Do that and you'll get an A like I did.
Moore is one of the funniest teachers I ever had. But being funny doesn't teach you anything. He goes so off topic and expects you to know massive amounts of material for one test. Entirely too much material to memorize. Do not take the class, I wish I wouldn't have.
Mr. Moore is a very funny guy. The tests are challenging but not impossible. Studying is a must but if you do the extra credit assignments they will help a lot with the tests. There is lots of material on the tests and the quizzes. You need to get the textbook if you plan on doing any extra credit. Go to class and pay attention and you'll do well
Great Professor, very funny, and will definitely work with you on a getting a good grade, the tests are hard, but not so much the map quizzes, as long as you study, and definitely have to be in class, and take all notes.
If you're lazy and don't study you likely won't do well in this class. Studying for the map quizzes & tests is a MUST. Great teacher who knows all his students by name, which is largely due to assigned seating. Although attendence isn't mandatory, missing class really puts you behind on the information. Great professor & one of the best LBST's.
Very knowledgeable professor. It was difficult for me to learn all of the countries, cities, rivers, and seas in 30 days. I took the course during the summer. I loved his lectures and found them entertaining.
Dr. Moore is a very intelligent professor, there are three map quizzes and three test (the last test is the final). There are lots of opportunities for extra credit so take advantage of them. He is clear on his expectations and will help you as long as you go to class, he knows his students by name because of assigned seating which actually works.
the extra credit counts for a quiz and they are not too hard though he does grade them so dont bull them hes fun and trys to keep the class entertained with some jokes he cant help his topic is boring a lot of memorization for quizes prep for that i wouldnt recommend this course less your good at memorization also he does curve the test grades hard
He's a really nice guy and really helpful when you are looking for help. Quizzes are maps and tests are based on notes, textbook readings, and handout notes. Yes you do have to study study study and memorize the maps.
He is a very nice guy. If you go to class he will bump up your grade at the end of the semester if you are close to the next grade. 3 map quizzes that have a lot to memorize and 3 tests (one is the final) that cover a lot of information. If you ask him for help he will work with you but you need to STUDY and go to class.
Moore is absolutely amazing. Not only as a teacher but also on a personal level. In an insane semester, he was helpful for classes and my personal life; almost like a free counselor. So thankful for him. Would take a ton more of his classes, if they fit my major!!
Tyrel Moore is a great man! He helps out anyway you need him to. Tests are a bit challenging so take detailed notes. Attendance is not mandatory but gives extra credit to those who attend lectures frequently. GREAT PROFESSOR!
Had Professor Moore as my academic guide back in the early 1980s. Wonderful mentor, and always took an interest in your studies. Glad to see he is still kicking.
Probably one of my favorite professors. He's hilarious and a very stylish, lovable guy. His tests are really hard so buy the book, do the reading, and take good notes. He's super lenient and gives tons of extra credit so even if you fail a test, you'll most likely jump up a grade letter or two in the end. His personality makes the content tolerable
This professor is so easy! You have a few tests and a few quizzes on map locations. They are all really easy but the tests can be confusing at times. He is really funny and makes a lot of South Park jokes.
DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!! This is supposed to be an easy lbst class but he acts like this is geography 4000 level. Tests are so hard and such random information, makes you memorize every thing in the world. Gives false hope to students in their grades. Literally awful.
If you are looking for an easy class, do NOT take this professor. The test questions are very confusing. You must go to class because the test questions are about concepts discussed in class rather than facts you can memorize from the book. The power points are very long and so are the chapters for the book.
AMAZINGGGG! LOVE Professor Tyrel!!
this is a nice professor however in my complete honesty you probably will not pass this class. lectures are confusing, he is very random . you will have three map quizzes and three test. do not take this professor if you want clarity on the topics or even want to pass. dont say you were not warned!
Tyrel Moore is a terrible professor. Lectures are random at best. He is very unorganized. Taking forever to post the syllabus then not even following the dates on it. You have to go to class everyday to catch the snippets of random info that will be on the test. Then he will tell you to read certain chapters then test on completely different info.
Was so hopeful for this class and heard great reviews about the prof. WRONG! Bought the textbook; used 2 pages. Did the tests; not graded. Went to lectures; he would ramble and barely covered anything. Regardless if I got a B, I can't use any material from the class, because I didn't learn anything. Don't take him if you actually want to learn.
Failed the first test because I had no idea when I came to class that day we would be having a test because the syllabus dates were wrong. Extremely unorganized. Doesn't matter if you do or don't come to class because you still wont know what is going on. Reading the textbook doesn't help either. Basically have to be a jeopardy wiz to pass class.
Dr. Moore was a very nice guy and it's obvious that he cares about what he is teaching, however it is extremely hard to stay awake during his lectures. He speaks slowly, quietly and monotonously. Your grade relies completely on 6 tests all weighted equally, 3 are map quizzes and 3 are exams based on lectures and chapter reading.
Tyrel Moore is a nice and funny man who clearly has a deep understanding and care for this subject matter, but that's about all he has to offer. Tyrel Moore is the grim reaper of your gpa. I strongly recommend taking this course if you want to fail every exam, never know what is going on, and if you enjoy being told to study the wrong materials.
Dr. Moore was a great professor and very respected and loved by his students.
