Comment:

He's a great guy, a fair marker and very knowledgable, though his class can be a little dull at times. The multiple choice tests are kind of hit and miss, but his essay exams are good. He was a little all over the place in this specific course (Global History) but it couldn't be helped; the textbook was too. Definitely worth taking.

Comment:

My favourite professor in my first year, he's saaooo nice. The class is easy enough if you go, and he posts the questions to his quizzes on blackboard anyway (for the love of god, just read them). He seemed genuinely interested in his students despite there being so many of us, and he never got angry once though everyone in the class was an idiot.

Comment:

He is one of the smartest people alive, and has had a lot of interesting experiences he shared. The class material isn't really related to the midterms, and this makes it pretty tough. It was also incredibly unfair that the midterm was almost all multiple choice and the final is all essay questions. Very boring course with obscure marking. Avoid.

Attendance is mandatory in his classes and it was lovely to have a class at the spring garden library. You can get away with not purchasing the course pack but the other books are mandatory. Great guy and is ultra easy going!! VERY interesting course! You'll work for your mark.

Wonderful professor! Kind and fair in dealing with students. His passion for Asia is evident, and he presents a refreshing view of its history. Attend classes and take good notes. His exam questions often draw from lectures.

Comment:

Dr. Morrison's lectures are always very interesting. He has visited many of the sites mentioned in his lectures. He often inserts his dry sense of humor (which is absolutely hilarious) into lectures, making it not only informative but entertaining. If you have a question he will always makes sure you get a complete answer. Very friendly.

His class is not the most exciting but he does know his material. He is the most approachable prof outside of class and goes out of his way to help.

This guy is amazing. He is the nicest guy you will ever meet. He knew my name after the first day of class and we had numerous conversations that had nothing to do with history. His classes are a little boring but he is a very easy marker.

He's a great guy, and does actually care about you and will remember your name. He's very knowledgable and interesting, but too much reading and does mark too hard.
