| Additional Comments |
After reading the other evaluations for Dr. Moore I felt compelled to add my evaluation of 481. I feel as if the person who wrote about Dr. Moore being looked down upon throughout southcentral Kentucky is accurate because of the teachers and other 481 students I have talked to about having his class. Those people have said to me not that he isn't a nice person but that he doesn't understand the true world of teaching anymore because he has been away from it for so long. To be more specific, Dr. Moore talks a lot about NCSS and a lot about a teacher work sample. Both are great things to use here and there but I must also agree with that previous evaluation in its essence, that Dr. Moore lives by the NCSS and by the Teacher Work Sample. Furthermore, I don't feel as if the person who wrote that evaluation was being racist in any way because he/she did not mention race at all in his/her evaluation of Dr. Moore.
He (Dr. Moore) is a polite person who cares so strongly about educating young people that it comes across too strongly at times I think and that is what this person was trying to help other students understand. I feel like I've known Dr. Moore for a long time and even though I disagree with some of his strategies for teaching and working with people, I have found that much like the entire education department at Western, Dr. Moore truly truly cares and wants his students to succeed not only in his class but in the real world of teaching.
As far as the work-load in Dr. Moore's class is concerned: there are no tests but there is a resource unit and the first four parts of the teacher work sample that students must do. Dr. Moore will work with you on it but my best advice is to start early and get to work because you have to turn in almost everything once and after Dr. Moore gives it back to you, you are supposed to make corrections to the work and then put it all together. It's really not that bad looking back on it and it does prepare you for your future classes and first few years of teaching.
