Comment:

I don't love math so for my statistics cognate I was able to take 255. Definitely a good move and Moes is a nice guy. Sometimes lectures feel very discombobulated, but for the most part you can figure out what's going on and he posts everything to Moodle as well. He is always willing to answer questions you have during or outside of class.

I loved Professor Moes. Even in the midst of COVID-19, he made statistics a wonderful course! He genuinely cares for every student, gave clear expectations, and was always available for questions, or just to get to know you. 10/10 would recommend for PSYC-255!!!

Comment:

Professor Moes is often unorganized at the start of class and is very hard to reach any time outside of class. He has very good intentions and wants the best for everyone, but his classroom setting is very boring, and repetitive. Lacks group discussion and work, 10/10 times reads off slides and moves on.

Moes can be scattered, disorganized, and hard to follow. But he is a really good guy and is great at explaining concepts and is always eager and willing to answer questions. He is pretty funny, which brought some much-needed humor to a class like statistics.

Just an overall solid guy and professor. Very knowledgeable and approachable. Weekly quizzes that are easy points. To get the most out of the class, participate. Also very understanding and I find him to be a funny guy too. Wants you to succeed.

He is a good professor. Interesting lectures & passionate about what he teaches. Quite a bit of work outside the class. If you know what you're talking about when it comes to tests & papers, you'll probably get around a B. You really have to know the details to get an A. Some test questions with "right" & "more right" answers. Good class overall.

Comment:

Extremely nice guy but you could get a better prof. He is horrible at emphasizing what topics are most important and they all kind of mash together which makes it confusing. His tests are HARD and he doesn't tell you whats important. You have to study EVERYTHING to do well. I've even talked to him about study methods and he wasn't very helpful.

The class was great and he was very kind but, if you have trouble from the start good luck getting help. I had a hard time getting the professor's help when it came to the tests so I did not do as well as I would have liked. Great prof just not great for this class.

Comment:

I barely got a B in this class and it's all because he is very unclear about what he expects from his students. He told me information that I directly cited from published literature was just flat out wrong without researching it for himself. Also his tests are way harder than necessary and poorly designed and written.

Did a great job teaching this class, making the material interesting and enjoyable. He does play movies, but i found them to be interesting and entertaining. I would definitely suggest him to others.

Not terribly interesting; the syllabus was clear and generally accurate. Nice guy, but I usually found myself watching the clock. Likes to show video clips in class. Likes to make jokes. He's a biological psychologist, NOT a clinical psychologist, so if you're interested in therapy-related psych, look elsewhere.

He doesn't really care for his students. He doesn't provide a rubric for his papers and is not very clear. He tries, but he fails. He presents dumb videos and wastes time.

Easiest I have taken at Calvin, but not boring. I had never taken a psych class before, so I found it really interesting. And he is a really nice guy. I highly recommend him!

He's a laid back teacher. Most of the tests are from the lecture unless he states otherwise in his notes. Use the online site for practice problems. It helps to be ready for his tests.

Great professor! Very helpful and has a great sense of humor! Classes are very well structured and tests are very easy if you study the notes. He is very willing to help on any problems. Take Moes for any Psych class if you can...well worth it!

Great Prof. Lectures are interesting, and he shows videos to help you better understand the points he is making. Tests can be hard, just make sure you do the reading and study before hand.
