Reviews of professor Matthew Morris

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Morris talks with a monotonous voice, making lectures not very engaging. Plus, he is not very accessible when it comes to grading and will show up to class late. The TA nitpicks assignments, with different guidelines from textbook examples, making it feel like a guessing game.

Dr. Morris is a great choice. Most assignments are written work and presentations - either group or solo. The only thing I didn't like was that I felt some of the feedback wasn't helpful in terms of what I could do better - it would just say "average" or "could be stronger". Dr. Morris made class fun and he is willing to talk outside of class.

Professor Morris' grading criteria is largely unclear. It is impossible to get a perfect score on an assignment, and the TA is trained to nitpick absolutely everything in submissions. Professor Morris does not give the impression that he is willing to help. He can be rude to students asking simple questions, and the lectures are dull.

Morris is a great guy. He grades pretty fairly on speeches or any presentations given in class so long as you follow the guidelines and are well prepared. The TA often unnecessarily takes off several points on written assignments, which can be frustrating. If you are a decent writer and can manage public speaking nerves, this class is an easy A.

Get ready to do some public speaking lol. This class is honestly very easy in terms of work load; however, it tends to push a lot of people out of their comfort zone. Assignments are due once every other week or so and grading is usually not very harsh. Dr. Morris is very chill and tries to make everyone comfortable with public speaking. Easy A/A-

Professor Morris is so funny and is great at giving feedback. He made both exams open note. BA 324 has a bad reputation overall, but prof is not at fault. The class is supposed to put you out of your comfort zone with the presentations and speeches. The TAs are the problem bc they will take off points for the smallest things.

He's a really chill guy. The grading is rough, but that's a common theme among all the BA classes, not just Morris. Put effort into the assignments and you'll be good.

Dr. Morris is an easy A. He can sometimes be somewhat snarky or openly rude, but he is a good guy deep down. He gave us 12 extra credit points and would add points back to our tests to help us. He grades pretty easily for speeches as long as you try somewhat and follow all content instructions. Bother the TA for anything written, and it'll be fine.
