Reviews of professor Sara Morrison

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very helpful during OH to work with you on misunderstandings. Exams are closed book and HARD (switch over to online cuz COVID - all open notes and still hard). But literally can't get an F. If you do, you didn't do a thing in the class. Literally in the syllabus if you do all the work and try, you won't fail. A lot of info in short amount of time.

Dr. Morrison is down to Earth and open-minded if you need help. The class is lecture based. The text was more for additional reference, but it is not necessary. Everything is in her slides. We had to move to online due to COVID-19 and she was very accommodating. She had her lectures via Panopto.

Throughout the semester she would have questions on exams or quizzes that had multiple correct answers but unless you chose her correct answer you were wrong. Tests averages were basically failing so the only way for you to pass was to rely on the curve. She did make some funny yet awkward sexual jokes in some lectures

I took drugs & behavior to fulfill a science gen ed, and Dr. Morrison was very clear from the beginning that her class was difficult but if you showed up and did the work, you'd pass. She knows the content very well and can answer almost any question. Tests and quizzes are difficult but she curves generously and drops 1 of each including the final.

This was a covid semester, so the class was completely remote. Dr. Morrison's lectures are not very engaging, so I tended to zone out and then watch the Panopto recordings back to study for exams. Super hard short answer questions on exams. Felt like the workload was too heavy for a pandemic semester, but the research proposal assignment is fun.

Great lectures, tests can be a bit tricky.

I wouldn't take this professor again. She comes off nice but is a bit harsh and does not make me want to pursue a career in the field.

This is my current favorite class. Dr. Morrison is a great teacher and makes the lectures interesting. The class is not that hard if you pay attention to lectures. Review the more "Sciency" topics before the tests and you'll do fine. There is a lot of extra credit and she curves tests. Homeworks are graded very easy. highly recommend this class!
