Morris is a good professor and a nice man. His class can be a little boring, but if you read his powerpoint slides and make adequate study tools you will get a high A in this class. Morris is friendly and easy to talk to. He is definitely a great choice.

Morris is a great guy. Accounting is very hard to grasp for some people but professor Morris makes it very easy to apply it to real life and remember the material.

Comment:

Professor Morris is adorable but he is not the most helpful professor out there. He lectures the entirety of the class and he tells you to go to office hours for extra help understanding the material but I personally feel like you shouldn't have to go to office hours to learn the material, it should be taught in class. He is funny, sweet, & caring.

Want to learn way more than you ever wanted about Accounting? He's the way to go! Hard, hard, harddd class. Work for it though and you can pass with an A or B. Easily one of my favorite professors so far, very kind, funny, and down to earth. He's like that cute grandpa that you just want to be friends with.

Mr. Morris is the best professor at CNU. He cares more about his students than any other professor out there. He will do all that he can to help every student that puts forth some effort. I was new to the Business classes when I took 201, and because of him and his class, I am now an Accounting major. Take him!

Professor Morris is a sweet man and loves to talk and be social. He doesn't take attendance which is nice, but you should go to class or else you'll be a little lost when it comes to the test. He tells you exactly what will be on the test and you have 3 problem sets. He gets a little snappy when you ask questions though. Overall pretty good.

Comment:

The nicest, most caring man I have ever encountered. He genuinely cares about everyone. I took ACCT 201 and 202 with him and easily got A's. ACCT 401 is a different monster. Hardest class I've taken at CNU, but that's because taxes are complicated, not because of Prof. Morris. Any accounting major needs to take him for at least their intro classes

Comment:

Prof. Morris is my favorite professor here. I took both of my lower level accounting classes with him. He absolutely loves his job and knows what he's talking about. Class can be boring, but it isn't mandatory. You know exactly what will be on the test, however at times the wording is difficult. He's an amazing professor that wants you to succeed.

Comment:

Professor Morris is super helpful and caring. If you have questions and go to his office hours, he will explain everything and spend time to make sure you understand everything completely. His tests for cost are pretty hard, but he offers extra credit if the class is struggling. Nicest professor at CNU. Highly recommend him!

Comment:

Dr. Morris is extremely helpful. He gives take home tests, and if you go into his office before you turn them in he will go over it with you to ensure you get a 100. He does the same with the problem sets. Does not take attendance. Definitely recommend taking him.

One of the nicest and most caring professors I have ever had. If you miss class he will help you catch up on everything. He always posts his homework problems which help your grade online. Don't need to go to class much to get a good grade. Last test was take home. TAKE HIM!! LOVED HIM!

The best professor I have had at CNU! He is awesome, and he will help you in any way possible. I go to his office before Problem Sets are due and he helps me correct them so I have gotten perfect scores on all of them! Take him!

Very good. Lectures can drag on, but he explains the material well. Tests are straight forward, and sometimes take-home. Makes sure everyone is doing okay, and offers extra credit if people are struggling. Extremely friendly and approachable.

Comment:

The reason why older ratings say "she" is because his wife taught here before, and the ratings got mixed up because people can't read. Very difficult class, and gets slightly easier towards the end. He will try to help you in any way he can. Only criticism is that he basically goes on autopilot in class with no clear explanation of terms.

He is the best professor at CNU. I wish he taught upper-level classes. He explains everything and if you don't understand something he will go out of his way to make sure you learn it. I have learned so much from the classes that I have taken with him.

Not sure why everyone is calling him a he, but Prof. Morris is a good teacher. He tends to lecture from his notes that everyone has a copy of, so its kind of boring, but pay attention when he does the examples, thats when you learn the most!
