Comment:

I was i a hybrid class. you give a speech every two or three weeks, she always gave me an A even though im a fairly nervous speaker. her final was very hard for no reason but she scaled it like 20 points. I'd recommend, shes a little boring to listen to but very laid back

Comment:

Public speaking 1000C with professor Morris is very easy. She is very laid back; just explain whatever your situation is and she's willing to help you make up a speech or help you with anything you need help with. She likes doing extra credit activities. There IS a final.

Took her hybrid course. In the beginning, she doesn't tell you that you have assignments due, so you have to catch up on work. Assignments are easy, due every Sunday night and you just have to read a page in the book and respond. Make sure to attend class. Lets you redo speeches if they aren't that good. Definitely easy if you're on her good side

Comment:

Should definitely take her! Took her for Liberal Studies and Speech and got an A both times! She goes give some busy work but if you don't do an assignment, communicate with her and show her that you care and want to pass. Do your work properly and you should be perfectly fine! You have to be a moron to get anything less than an A in her class!

Comment:

I took her hybrid class. She has a monotone voice & very boring. If she doesn't like you, she will let you know & treat you rudely. She gives makeups and will work with you if you show you care. She thinks her class is important but it's very easy.

Comment:

Very respectable woman. Was bummed out about being in LST. Wanted to switch to a science major ASAP. Busted by butt off for this class, wrote about 20-25 pages through out the semester, and now I am expecting an A. Jokes aside, not as hard as people play it out to be. Skim the book. TALK TO HER. She likes that. Visit her office! Intelligent lady.

Comment:

Boring. She gave us way too many assignments to work on at once. Easy to lose track of work. She's mean to you unless you make it a point to talk to her about your work. She gives good work advice and gives you second chances if you do bad work. But I hated the class work.

Horrible teacher! Lots of work and a very harsh grader! You will not get an A in the class unless she likes you... She definitely thinks her class is way more important then it really is. If you can avoid it don't take her class!

Comment:

She is one of the worst teachers ever. If you want an A, you beter forget about it. She has preferences on students; either she likes you or she does not; also her like or dislike of you occurs on the first day of class. She just looks at the students on the first day of class and decides who to favor, she doesnt care about work just how you appear

Comment:

She's been in the business for over 30 years so dont expect to BS her, she spots it a LIGHTYEAR away. This is not a class where you can do half a**ed work and expect to pass. She gives 2nd chances. Great prof, you can actually work for ur A. Very nice woman, I respect her.

Comment:

Took her online class. One post a week and responses to classmates mandatory. She knows what she wants from assignments and if you so much as spell your name wrong, you lose points. Hard to get an A, but she teaches you the importance of looking over your work. I would take her again if she taught another online course.

Comment:

The class was a lot of speeches. There's a group debate project too. THis is not an 'easy A' class. You have to put in work. The tests are all short answer and essay. No multiple choice. About 4 tests the whole semester. Had to do community service and write a paper about that too. She takes the class pretty seriously.

She's a great professor. Very careful with her critiques. You WILL learn in her class. You will have not only a lot of speeches, but exams and a paper to write. It didnt take a lot of time. Enjoy :)
