The course is very lean, no busy work and lectures cut right to what you need to know.

Extremely respectful, caring, generous, and very knowledgeable and passionate about his teachings.

He is very down to earth and conscious of his privilege. \nHis class is clearly laid out, clear how he grades, and his lectures are recorded. (He uses the biopsychosocial approach to explain topics and has lots of videos he shows in class). \nEasily the best class and professor!

Super relaxed and easygoing guy. You can tell he cares about everyone's input and respects different opinions.

First off, he's hot so I always want to go to class, but also his lectures are so entertaining. He explains everything so well. He's also a therapist so he can easily explain things to us and gives us anecdotes to help us understand concepts. No textbook, just light readings. Only one short paper, and 3-4 easy-ish exams.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2178039","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":1.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:22:40.381381+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI4NzA5MjE1","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2178039","instructor_name":"Lucas Moore","course_label":"SOCWORK453","course_id":"SOCWORK 453","course_uid":"course_b05adc5a01afc7cf14216c9c","review_date":"2017-10-02 13:37:52 +0000 UTC","comment":"Lucas is by far the best professor I have ever had at UW!
