Comment:
Took him at RCTC; he is a terrible teacher. He's very confusing and doesn't use the book, has no due dates, screws up grades, makes no sense at all. He's probably one of the worst teachers I've ever taken. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to learning about stellar astronomy before I took the class. I learned pretty much nothing.

Comment:
I had him for a class at RCTC. Looking for a very structured class? He's not the professor for you. He's very laid back and willing to allow you to turn in assignments at any time during the semester for full credit. He always has time to answer your questions, but don't expect to get assigments graded right away. Best professor I've ever had.

Comment:
Moosavi is one of the worst teachers I've ever had. He doesn't grade in a timely manner and has absolutely no class structure. There are no due dates. He goes on tangents all the time, and also goes on about his weight and food at least once per class. I learned nothing about Geology in this class. I would NOT recommend him to anyone!

Comment:
His jokes that made us feel uncomfortable. One week before end of the semester all assignments were due, although he told us, throughout the whole semester, not to worry about them. He never used textbook and he based his lecture on PowerPoint presentations. No notes or study guides were available to prepare for testing (except for the final).

Comment:
Among the best sciences teachers I have ever had. I hate MSU for canning him- it's so freaking stupid. He's so good at explaining lots of complex stuff in an easily understandable way. He also fills his class with great tips and discussions on how to teach the information to younger students.

Hes a good teacher and really fun to listen to. rocks get boring but with the excitment he brings to class its not that bad. Do well in labs and papers because the tests will bring your grade down.

Funny and good-natured. Lectures very clear and interesting. Fairly high workload, with lab reports and group projects and all, but not graded that harshly. All around a good class.

A large workload, but an easy grader. Beware his labs: they are high-schoolish. His lectures are deliberate and clear, though, and he's a likeable guy.

Field Studies rocked! Take him out of the classroom and you'll see his passion for nature. He's very knowledgeable and if you seek information, he's a clear communicator.
