Comment:

DO NOT take Mr. Mosca for physics. You will pass, but only because he gives so much extra credit and test corrections and curves every test. You will learn absolutely nothing and he takes so long on the first three chapters that he rushes through the rest of the material. If you actually want to learn something, don't take him!

Comment:

Bloody waste of time and money.. You will pass but don't expect to learn anything from him. And he gives a ton of homework without teaching you, expecting you to learn yourself. I don't really mind that but please don't charge me $3k for this crap..

You will pass but you wont learn any physics at all. He is very unprofessional and disrespectful unless you are a female. Take him if you don't want to learn but still want to pass and you don't mind being treated disrespecfully!!!!

Def. prefers women to men, I have plenty of examples to back up my opinion (P.S. I am a woman). Decent professor, gives generous curves on all grades. Takes forever to give back assignments though.

Mr. Mosca is an awesome teacher. He seems rude but he is not trying to be a jerk. he is just loud. Teaches with lots of experiments so keeps it really interesting . Do the reading , and the home work and class is easy! Curves on every test and aggregate. He is funny and awesome! take him!

Comment:

He gave way to much homework so I decided not to do any of it. But he curves his tests so much that I truelly just filled in bubbles and still got a C in the class. I didn't learn anything, you can pass this class asleep, but hes a horrible teacher. Nice guy though once you get past his loud outer shell. Easy to pass, sucky class. You cant get an A

Comment:

AVOID!!!! Terrible teacher for this class. Expects you to read the book cover to cover essentially. Syllabus states that there is 2 HOURS of homework for each HOUR of class time. HOMEWORK TIMES INFINITE. Yells a lot, doesn't listen to students much, Lots of Homework, I actually UN-learned how to do vectors and components in his class. DO NOT TAKE.

Well, I passed the class but feel I did way to much work for way to little and it was extremely difficult. My buddies got O'Reilly and says it's fun/easy. If I could do it over I would of absolutely not taken his class.

Comment:

Professor Mosca is possibly the worst teacher I have ever encountered. Not only does he not teach, but gives tests on the material he thinks he taught. Not surprisingly, he has to implement a mega curve on every single test. This doesnt help you however, when you get only 3 questions right. DONT TAKE MOSCA. HE IS AWFUL, YOU WONT LEARN A THING

basically expects you to read the book and do his stupid ass homework to teach you the material himself. he spends all class period yelling and being obnoxious instead of teaching the material. take Vuile instead

Comment:

This professor is not the one to take. His grading system is awful and does not believe in giving out bonuses. curves everything, which doesn't surprise me since most ppl voluntarily don't turn in their hw. speaking of that, Mosca claims he WANTS to be the teacher who gives out the most hw! do not take the class

Comment:

Class is "story time" aka the history of the stuff hes "teaching" you that is not on the tests. He does not teach you what's on tests and hes is loud and obnoxious. He gives an hour of homework for each night and gave us 14 hrs of homework for over spring break. I have a 3.5 cgpa at Riddle and I just failed the last test... you decide.

Basically a good teacher. He *is* very loud and eccentric, but that has got nothing to do with his teaching skills. Does lots of demos. Always well dressed. He needs to be a little more calm and not overly excited all the time!
