Comment:

The structure of the class worked really well for me. The lectures were interesting for the most part. Subject matter is very relevant, which is a nice change from some of my other classes. Also, the debates he held allowed people the chance to express their opinions and learn from another. Overall, I would definitely recommend this class.

Comment:

Probably one of the best professors I've had so far. He is really knowledgeable about the material he teaches and he certainly knows how to engage the class with his wit. The course was pretty much a breeze and you end up learning a lot more than you bargained for.

Comment:

Not a bad class; topics covered are interesting. Discussion/debate sessions, 1 prelim (essays), 1 paper, lengthy final exam (essays)-Morgan is, for the most part, a witty and interesting professor. Guest lecturers made class lively. However; TAs & Morgan aren’t very specific on what they’re looking for in essays & grading is somewhat difficult.

Comment:

he presents the material in a very dull way. the final questions were a bit ridiculous considering what he taught us the entire semester. i wouldn't recomment this class unless it's a requirement for inquality concentration.

the class covers a lot, and the final was hard. but i'd recommend the class if you are interested in inequality and injustice in america.

Comment:

Professor Morgan is the worst professor probably in the universe. The controversies presented in the course are interesting but Morgan does not present them in an effective manner whatsoever. Morgan is a extremely smart guy (Rhodes ****ing Scholar) but he is not fit to be a professor, at least not for this class.

Comment:

Class is okay- lectures are pointless- half the class stopped coming. Reading is unecessary- sign up to debate if you can (itll boost your grade). Pretty easy to do well in this class, but don't expect to learn too much.

Comment:

Races through slides, bad lecturer, spends too much time trying to entertain class. Unable to hold the attention/discipline of 300 students. Easy A; take the class for the guest lecturers. Otherwise, it's not worth the bother.

Comment:

Good survey course on schooling, inequality, and public policy. Morgan's a genius who knows his stuff. But he tends to lecture a bit too much, waste too many days joking around, and doesn't allow for enough discussion.
