Reviews of professor Julia Morse

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Great professor who cares about her students. Really shined a new light on the topic of human rights by showing us different perspectives and challenges surrounding the topic. Grading consisted of an in-class midterm, paper, group project, and section grade.

One of the best professors I've had at UCSB, she is so knowledgeable and inspiring! She does a good job at keeping the lectures engaging, and it is clear she cares about the course content as well as her students. One midterm, 2 papers, and the final is a take home written response. Readings are necessary but they were interesting and helped a lot.

Class was ok until she changed all our grades by changing the grading scales AFTER the quarter ended w/out telling us before. 91-93 was a B+ for one TA and 89-90 was a B+ for the other. She kept the final the weekend we were told to move out because of Covid19 & lowered all our grades after so the grades we thought we had weren't what we received.

Professor Morse was detailed, organized, and included references to memes and other relevant events to explain a lot of IR-related terms easily! Do the readings, take notes in lecture, and don't be afraid to ask questions - she explains a lot of concepts really well if you do. Class based on midterm, final, two papers, and two reflections.

Literally just here because its insane people are dissing Marc Anthony. He is the most helpful TA I've ever had, he truly cares for his students and if you show up to office hours you would see that. Harsh grader, but that is controlled by the professor. Definitely take him if you genuinely want to improve as a student.

This class was great. It was in that golden zone of requiring effort while still being very manageable. Her lectures were super engaging and digestible as well, I was saddened to see how few people went towards the end (it was spring quarter so..). She also clearly cares about the material as well as her students. I hope I can take her again!

This was a very difficult class but I loved the lectures and professor. I enjoyed coming to lectures as they were fun and interactive and Morse provided incredible insight into understanding the world. I would highly recommend this professor but the class exams and essays are graded harshly and are difficult.

Prof Morse is the best professor UCSB has ever seen. She is so smart, well educated, and good at her job. She really cares about her courses and the students. She cares about each student and is so understanding and I finished UCSB literally because of this woman. Class very engaging - graded off 3 policy papers and a project. 100/10 amazing.
