Comment:

Dr. Moran's was the hardest ENG class I've taken but I would take it again. He graded hard but gave the best feedback. It made me a better writer more than any other class I've taken. His lectures are fascinating. Show up and care, and you'll fall in love with it too. His passion is contagious. If you hate working, this isn't for you.

Horrible teacher! I will never take him again. I LOVE to read and write and this man made me never want to do either again. Teaching should inspire and Dr. Moran did not. Horrible!

Dr. Moran was by far the best professor of my freshman year. I would recommend him to anyone. He is not an easy grader, but he does recognize and reward improvement. His insights into the texts are vast and his enthusiasm for the works is contagious.

Dr. Moran is a difficult but fantastic professor. He lectures make the class. Discussion can be, at times, dull, but overall his class was fabulous. He teaches you how to write well. This is the greatest asset to his class.

Dr. Moran is by far the most helpful, generous professor I have ever had. His lectures are ebullient, his grading is stern but fair, and his assignments are inventive. Students will likely love him provided they enjoy the texts.

Excellent teacher, passionate, helpful. Could use help with organizing the class, but is a solid professor. He always has a useful anecdote to connect the works read, and is always ready to help. He really helped me and understood when I had trouble. Easy on the eyes/easy to imagine getting married to haha.

I absolutely loved Dr. Moran's class! He is so passionate about the books we read and has a good mix of discussion and lecture. He is one of the hardest graders I have ever had, but it you work hard you can make a decent grade.

Comment:

Great teaching style. UD should have done more to hang on to him, it is a shame that he's leaving. He clearly loves what he does, and that passion feeds the energy level of the classes. The discussions he leads are great, as are his dramatic readings. He's not an easy grader, but he is a fair one.

Comment:

Moran is quite possibly one of the nicest professors ever. Very smart and patient. Tests are very fair as long as you put forth the effort. I cannot stress enough how kind he is. Always there to listen. Will go out of his way to make sure you learn and have fun learning the material.

Comment:

A very difficult teacher, espcially when it comes to papers, but if you put an effort forth towards the class, he'll respond and help you get the 'A'. Loved the class...and looking forward to Rome simply because of his presence on the campus there!

Changed the way I read/examined the classics--as Writing Lab Supervisor he is very knowledgeable and will teach you how to write clear, organized papers. All Romers will be lucky to have him next year.

He is my favorite professor at UD. He is smart, gives interesting lectures, with lots of fun informal class participation. He is understanding and wants to help. If you have a problem he will meet with you. He has a charming and witty personality and is the type of person you wish you could know bet

Very knowledgeable, will say when he doesnt know something- not afraid to show his limits. Lectures rarely boring, even tho theyre after lunch for an hour and 30 min; gets class involvement, but still gives excellent lecures. well structured class. easily approachable.

Comment:

Easy to understand, but the continuous twitching was somewhat distracting. Discussion was a somewhat of annoying aspect of the class as there were annoying people who were never without an opinion. Would have liked to hear his opinions more often
