Yes I received an A in this class but for an "easy" ethnic course this class was lowkey insufferable. Didn't have a canvas course until the second week, lectures were usually about his polyamorous relationships or how he's been to jail twice. Like chill professor but class was hard to get an A in because the tests were all textbook (not in lec)Rate My Professors ↗
Just don't do it. Extreamly incapable of lecturing, the TA's are more helpfulRate My Professors ↗
Prof. Mosi is a very unorthodox professor, in terms of both his behavior and style of lecture. He was difficult to follow at first, but he has incredible knowledge and passion for sociology and often references other topics, frequently philosophy and history. Lectures are not directly related to exams, but are still very interesting.Rate My Professors ↗
He was incredibly disorganized and didn't have the canvas page set up for over a month. He was also incoherent in the lecture and would often get sidetracked and just tell random stories or statistics with little explanation. Lots of yelling and profanity, and he would smoke a cart in class. He brought his dog, though, which was awesome.Rate My Professors ↗
Walks around barefoot, most of lecture is just pictures and hippie stories from when he was a kid, didn't tell us we didn't have to buy the textbook until the first day of class and didn't get the Canvas set up until a month later, and we didn't get a TA for half the semester. Nice part though is that he brings his dog. Sometimes he vapes in classRate My Professors ↗
i dont know why people rate him poorly because he tests on the textbook. youd know that if youd bother to read the syllabus or listen when he talks about the exam. his lectures are supplementary material and you can tell he cares about students taking away something from the class, however, i found it was hard to follow if you stop paying attentionRate My Professors ↗
