I feel that Dr. Moxey does care about his students. He always responds to emails and is willing to be lenient if you put in effort. He definitely knows his stuff when it comes to the human body and especially dissections! It was a pleasure to learn from him, and although he's a bit awkward, once you talk to him he truly is a super nice guy.HUMANAP12 2025-02-06 23:40:39 +0000 UTC
He knows everything there is about the the body and if you pay attention class you can learn some of the most interesting things about your body. He likes to incorporate art at the beginning and end of his lectures, no one knows why. He teaches from his slides but he doesn't just read off of them so if you skip class you'll miss the finer details.AP1 2017-05-26 13:56:11 +0000 UTC
I mean, the entire course was graded on a few blackboard quizzes which weren't timed or internet-restricted. Going into finals week (the final is also online...) the class average of a 95-person lecture is an A. Joke of a class, Moxey doesn't care enough to put time into the course so his students don't care enough to even show up to his lectures.BIOL1117 2017-04-19 22:06:53 +0000 UTC
Moxey is awesome! When I was deciding which class to take I checked out both professors here and I'm SO glad I didn't believe the ratings. He's insanely intelligent and really tries to make sure you understand the material. You can't breeze your way through A&P it's definitely a lot to memorize, his tests are HARD but you have to put in the work!BIO2610 2016-07-10 14:08:41 +0000 UTC
For the first 2 exams, I went to class every day, I took detailed notes, I studied, I did everything I could think of to do well. I got 70s on those first two tests. By the final, I had essentially given up. I skipped class literally every day, and just studied using quizlets I found online. I got a 95. His lectures are literally a waste of time.1119 2015-07-15 14:58:03 +0000 UTC
He made A&P interesting. Brilliant man and funny too. Thought he was waaaay hot back in the 80's.BIO4190 2013-09-29 22:19:03 +0000 UTC
Nice guy who knows his stuff, especially with dissection, but he's just plain bad at lecturing. Lectures are disorganized, have lots of tangents, and aren't very helpful. He's better when lecturing from the board but usually uses slides. Take his class if you like learning from the book- if you prefer to learn in lecture, go elsewhere.2710 2013-07-26 11:09:43 +0000 UTC
Carl does not give one HOOT about this class or the future of his students. His teaching style is scattered and his lecture "notes" are just pages of vocab words that may or may NOT relate to eachother by some stretch of the imagination. And don't even bother asking for extra help outside the classroom, out of the question. Complete waste of time.BIO4161 2009-07-21 10:02:37 +0000 UTC
good guy, he structures the class to make sure that you have all the tools to learn something as well as do well on his exams since he gives you most of the questions ahead of time.BIO4163 2005-04-14 22:25:57 +0000 UTC
He was a great teacher. Lectures were boring but useful. He posts sample test questions online and always uses the same questions on the test, this makes tests very easy, you are never surprised by test content.BIOU117 2005-04-07 15:23:32 +0000 UTC
The best professor at Northeastern University!!! Very helpful, fair and consistent. He explains everything you need to know and then some in such a way that you will not forget it when the class ends. Thanks Professor Moxie!! You Rock!!BIO4216 2004-11-11 08:30:20 +0000 UTC
Lectures were SOO dry and packed with material, I felt like I was constantly suffocating. He used all of the A&P jargon, assuming we already knew what it all meant, so I only understood 30% of what he was saying. He couldn't be bothered to write his own questions, he just took them straight from the internet so he rarely asked about what he taught.HUMANAP12 2022-08-27 23:45:50 +0000 UTC
Professor Moxey is a scattered, disorganized, and ineffective lecturer. He hates answering questions and gives out kind-of a creepy vibe. About half the test questions come from the practice exams, so study those and you will be all set.AP1 2009-12-22 05:37:07 +0000 UTC
Talks fast; uses lots of big words; knows his stuff.BIO2610 2013-06-04 11:28:25 +0000 UTC
Quite simply the worst professor I've had here at Northeastern. His lectures are unorganized, he isn't very good at explaining concepts, and the worst part is: HE PUTS STUFF ON THE TEST THAT WAS NEVER DISCUSSED IN CLASS. I'm not even talking a question or two. Maybe 25% of the exams were random material we'd never been exposed to before.1119 2015-06-30 12:08:38 +0000 UTC
