Comment:

Attempts to be very helpful with things in and out of class. The class is difficult for most people, but I didn't find it very hard at all. He says you need the book, but you can learn to program by about 200 different websites for free. He is funny sometimes but his joke presentation could be better. Always dresses nice. Would take again.

Comment:

Moses is great. He has a dry witty humor and is sarcastic, but don't let that throw you off. His main focus is his students. Look at this class like a math class and you'll do fine (you always have homework, but it helps you learn). My only problem with him is that he stops taking credit for hw as the semester goes on. Should show up!

Comment:

I really liked Dr Moses. He does an excellent job of setting the groundwork for Java programming. The tests are hand written with no notes and it really helps to burn Java into your brain. He has excellent lectures and helps you when you ask for it. My favorite professor thus far at Missouri State University.

Great professor and great class. He will give you homework that will challenge you a little, but it will help you understand the material.

Dr. Moses is awesome. Great class if you're interested in Java. If not you probably shouldn't take it. The homework wasn't bad if you attended class. Every now and then the book is useful.

Comment:

Probably one of the best CIS teachers I've had. He wants his students (that are actual CIS majors, not ITSM) to really learn how to code. If you need help from him just ask. He has homework almost every day but, it helps teach you how to code. Come to class, pay attention, and do the homework and you'll be fine. I'll take him again if I can.

Comment:

Has a chip on his shoulder. I didn't feel like I was taught at all. I feel like I lost out. I am in CIS 270 now, and things we were told weren't important or he didn't cover, are IN this class. He was nice, and you could meet with him out of class. However, I felt he was fairly unapproachable during class.

Dr. Moses is a bit cocky, but he really does want to see his students be successful. Do not take him too seriously or draw attention to yourself during class time and his class will be a breeze

Moses is the best teacher I've had at MSU. You should go to class every day to keep up with the subject matter. He clearly goes over all new material and gives examples. Very easy going guy also!

Comment:

He is a funny guy. He has a lot of experience in the field, it seems. Daily homework assignments. Book used daily. Tests are difficult. 1/2 hand writing code 1/2 multiple choice. Multiple choice usually drug my grade down the most. If you are confused ASK QUESTIONS! Do not fall behind because its near impossble to catch up. test reviews arent good.

Comment:

Very proffessional, but also very helpful at the same time. I am not a CIS major-its just not my thing, but i was able to do well and understand all of the information. Expect homework everyday, but he works with you and helps you with assignments during office hours. He is also a really nice guy, and often pretty fun in the classroom. Take him eve

Dr. Moses is a wonderful professor who really knows his stuff. My advice is not to miss any classes because the subject matter builds on itself each time.

Great teacher. He will call on you in class, so be prepared. He is funny and enthusiastic, but kinda harsh at times. I would take him again.

Very nice teacher, really tried to get everyone to succeed. You must attend to get the class information. Don't e-mail him, he doesn't answer. Office hours aren't great, only on Monday. His tests can be difficult and the projects are only worth 10 points each.

Excellent teacher! He does a great job explaining programming concepts that are typically hard to grasp and has a decent sense of humor as well.

Comment:

Overall a good professor, relates the material to professions. Study guides for tests are clear, gives assignments that will help you in future jobs dealing with IT. Go to class for the assignments, as they add up over the semester, but a rather stress free course with Dr. Moses.
