BIOCORE 381
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Lectures are extremely disorganized, I often left lecture confused as to what I was supposed to be learning. Moser assumes too much background information from students. Very disrespectful when students ask questions.

BIOCORE 381
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Moser has no business teaching an honors course. She refuses to answer questions during review sessions and class, and instead tells students to look it up in the book. I will have to retake Genetics because I didnt learn anything in this class. If you care about your GPA do not take Biocore.

BIOCORE 381
Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Amy hardly teaches concepts in class, she is unable to clearly get the point across and you leave class confused as to what you were supposed to learn. You have to read every page of the textbook she assigns if you want to even have a chance at understanding how to complete the problem sets. She is dismissive in response to many student questions.

BIOCORE 381
Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
Disorganized lectures, presented at a more advanced level than necessary or understandable. Can't ask questions in class without being openly derided, and then the answers aren't clear anyway. Never clearly defines what she's talking about. I stopped going to lecture and just read the textbook to pass. In-class p-sets graded for participation.

BIOCORE 381
Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Horrible professor. Lecture speed is too fast and unorganized, too much background information assumed, doesn't have lecture notes, unclear presentation of concepts. Follows the textbook closely, so reading is very helpful. Study the learning objectives and read the book and you'll be fine on the exam; I didn't study lecture notes at all.

BIOCORE 381
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Ineffective lecturing style was consistently scattered and assumed far too much background information for an intro-level class. If students came in to ask questions, Moser openly taunted and made fun of them--both privately and to their peers in class. She was awful both professionally and personally, perhaps the worst professor I've ever had.
