Moses is the kind of professor who's really hard on you because he believes in you. At first, I wanted to drop the class because of nitpicky rules, but I'm really glad I didn't. The end-of-semester presentation also terrified me, but it honestly made me a better presenter, and I'm really grateful for the experience. I definitely recommend the classRate My Professors ↗

At the start of the semester, Moses made a bad impression on me. He preached about being a good human but didn't really practice it. He often interrupted students and looked down on them. However, he's incredibly knowledgeable and I learned more in this class than in any other class I've taken. He gives invaluable advice for the real world.Rate My Professors ↗

Moses yearns for for human connection but fails to deliver a welcoming personality.This class was taught horribly and he basically just talked AT US every class period. Moses just talks about his life and there's no student engagement or talking. For a sales class don't you think you would do some type of role play or discussion with others?Rate My Professors ↗

Moses is the man, plain and simple. Teaches classes the right way (no computers or phones allowed) and backs it up through how engaging he is as a speaker. Great marketing knowledge and business expertise, if you have the chance, take his class.Rate My Professors ↗

Surprised by the high reviews. The professor is unusual. Lecture slides aren't posted and computers aren't allowed, so you have to follow along closely. The no-tech approach feels old-fashioned, and all students aren't allowed back in class if they leave for a bathroom break.Rate My Professors ↗

overrated imo. like the other review said, he thinks way too highly of himself. he has this wack attendance policy where you can't even use the bathroom (yes i'm serious). lectures were engaging but not worth the stress. take a class with Milt Hwang if you want someone engagingRate My Professors ↗
