Reviews of professor Matthew Morris

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Morris has a monotone voice. His feedback was redundant and generic. Get a good Capstone group or you will be doomed for the 2nd half of the semester. Ask about the formatting of EVERY assignment bc he is picky. You will need to allocate a good amount of time to each speech and a ton to the report. Does not respond well to assignment questions.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Extremely vague feedback and grading. Get ready to never get a 100 on anything no matter how well you follow the assignment. Assignments are also really close together and his sections are always way ahead of other professors' sections.

Dr. Morris is a great option for BA324. Honestly, his humor is pretty funny and I enjoyed his class. He truly cares about helping students improve with public speaking. Go to class, take notes on what's he looking for on the assignments, and you'll be fine.

Morris is mostly focused on students improving their public speaking in this class. Not a lot of work but the grading for each assignment is a little vague. Lots of little assignments but the bulk of this class is focused on an individual speech and the capstone group project. Do the work and follow instructions and this class can be an easy A.

He's a tough grader, especially on written assignments. You have to take notes and listen carefully when he is explaining the assignment directions because he mentions some expectations that won't be in the written instructions. He's a caring professor, and he really tries to create an environment that's less intimidating for public speaking.

Class is monotonous, he just talks for most of the class. Attendance is mandatory, but majority of grades come from work that is done outside of class. His grading is really nit picky for the assignments but he is more lenient with grades on the final assignments. You have to ask a lot of questions abt specifics to get good grades.

Something to note is that Mr Morris can be openly rude to students right before or after their speeches and it's super uncomfortable, but he grades easily. He is neither a great nor likable teacher, but the class is manageable and he's the lesser evil when it comes to BA324 options.

Morris is a decent prof. He does his best to make a bad class interesting. The real problem is the TA. They are the worst and will destroy your grade by nitpicking the tiniest details in your written assignments. Morris also nitpicks weird elements in your speeches, but he still is fair. Write with perfect mechanics and you might get an A.

This class is hard because of how vague assignments are. He also gives very bad feedback, and grading really comes down to whatever he feels like. He also talks in a monotone and rambles during his lectures so its hard to pay attention.Take him if u dont mind putting in the extra work to find out exactly how he likes to grade assignments.
