Thank you for your love and direction. Your direction, along with that of your family, was the kick in the pants I needed. Sending you love from afar.

Comment:
Cannot believe the positive reviews for this guy. He's easily the worst teacher I've ever had. He has no clue how to evaluate student work and is rude, self absorbed, unfair, callous to student needs and a very poor communicator. Unfortunately, when I took his course, I had no other option.

I have been in the field for almost 10 years now, working both in the states and abroad. I still rely on many of the skils and knowledge I learned from Prof. Morton. Can teach you many of the tricks of the conservation field.

Having this professor was a "quality of life" issue. The longer I've been graduated (and teaching, myself!), the more I appreciate the 2-3 classes with Prof. Morton. His drafting class was difficult, but worthwhile!

Very sweet man. Realllly knows his stuff. He's been all around. Historic Pres obviously isn't the most interesting subject but I enjoy it more than Western civ. Tests aren't too bad, just take good notes and you should be ok.

THE most frustrating class I've ever taken! Even though Morton obviously knows his stuff, trying to understand what he's telling you to do is sometimes difficult.

Really knows his stuff. Encourages professionalism in students which should be to their advantage later in their careers. Uses stories and anecdotes effectively to illustrate some of the points he makes. Most challenging multiple choice tests that I have taken.

Comment:
I'm probably biased because my major is historic preservation and Morton is my advisor, but I went to Scotland with him for summer school too and I feel like I'm practically related to the man. He really knows what he's talking about -- someone that's really "been there, done that".

Comment:
This course is a total waste of time. Avoid at all costs. He is the most boring teacher in the Historic Preservation Department, and perhaps in MWC. He only gets lively when he starts talking about himself and his 3 houses.

He's very sweet and very helpful! There's a lot of work in this class which can be very frustrating, but he is a fair grader. His tests are VERY easy, but he grades a little bit harder on the drawings and pictures. If he likes you, then you're all set!

I enjoy the class, and I love the material. If you take the class early in the morning, it can put you to sleep sometimes, but overall, it's a great class. He's super sweet and funny too!

Comment:
Lectures were very boring and uninspiring. No specific guidance was given for projects. I got the feeling that teaching was a side project for Professor Morton, something that he just barely managed to squeeze into his busy schedule.

if you get on his good side, he'll love you forever... but he's not very good in getting grades back in a timely manner (like most professors) and is not entirely clear most of the time

Not an entirely helpful teacher, and not very clear about his assignments. He seems to be more of a lecturer than a teacher - not so interested in interaction part, but he know his material! Approachable on personal things-has prayed with me before

He teaches straight from the text, but he does make funny noises and draws funny pictures.

He doesn't really teach you anything, he just gives you an assignment and you figure it out for yourself.
