Comment:

Dr. Mosers class was not helpful at all when trying to understand the concept of World War One. As I tried to follow throughout the class, it was super hard. Also, the only thing you did the whole semester is play games. No lecture, no test, just a few papers. Nothing was helpful. I learned more researching on my papers than in his night class.

Comment:

If you aren't a history major don't take this class. My class was a role playing class and he invited ashbrook scholars into the class to "make it more interesting". The ashbrook scholars were the only people that knew what was going on and basically ran the class. If you don't have prior knowledge of the material you will struggle.

Comment:

He's one of those people whom can't function normally in social aspects. Tried talking to him once in general and he wouldn't even speak back to me. I have no respect for weirdos like that. I was an 18 year old kid in the scholar program and he treated me like garbage. I think about him Occasionaly. Your treatment will forever be remembered Moser

Comment:

Very nice and funny, can tell her enjoys teaching the content. A lot of people complain that he is a tough grader, but he is fair. If you think you can slack off and get an A then you won't. Do the readings and you'll be fine, don't expect any sympathy from him. If you work hard the class can be a lot of fun as he is extremely funny.

Comment:

Came into his class loving history. Left questioning why I liked it. The class was mostly self-taught. You have to learn the material before you come to class. You will have to write papers on topics that will be talked about on the due date. It's a strange format. His lectures are mostly dull, and he is not available outside of class at all.

Comment:

He is very engaging with students, but you have to read what he assigns, or you'll be bored out of your mind. Overall, I enjoyed his class, but he grades harder than some of the other profs.

Comment:

He is a horrible professor. Unless you are a history major than the class is not for you. You have to write papers before you even have discussed the topic. His grading is awful. And he treats people rudely when he doesn't agree with their ideas. At some points he's funny, but I wouldn't recommend the class

I believe that he is one of the best profs here. He is incredibly engaging but challenging at the same time. Does not belittle you at all.

Comment:

This class just started and it's my first time having Moser, but he is amazing! He kept me interested when he went through the syllabus! That person's right, it's like watching tv. He keeps me going throughout the whole class, and he's so full of knowledge. He's got such a great sense of humor with voices & comments. Take him! I'm taking him again.

Dr. Moser is my favorite prof! We read and discuss interesting material. His lectures are like watching TV. The man never stops making you interested in the subject being discussed. I've learned more in this class than any other. Besides, how can you hate a prof that sings karaoke at the local bar?

Comment:

Dr. Moser is by far my favorite. His lectures are structured and logical and I akways know what to expect from his classes. And I love the random comments that occasionally escape him. Seriously, how many profs would take the first few minutes of class to discuss last night's American Idol?
