Comment:

Don't take this professor unless you have an abundance of free time and enjoy math. The professor assigns an unreasonably large amount of homework that is due weekly. He also requires participation in an online forum for bi-weekly grades that count for 10% final grade. Numerical Analysis will be a massive time-sink if you take it with this guy.

Dr Morgan is an awesome Math professor. This Statistics class is very Linear Algebra heavy. His homeworks are tough and will require A LOT of your time. His exams are just like the review, so study the review completely and you'll be fine - the challenge are the Homeworks. I enjoy how he structures the course and will take him again. GOod luck

Comment:

He is such a demanding professor. He gives mountains of homework, which takes days to complete. It's the most impossible class ever. If you take his class, then prepare to give attention to only his class and forget all other classes. Because that is what he assumes, that his class is the only class you have! Requires a ridiculous amount of work!

Comment:

Dr. Morgan is truly the greatest Math professor I've ever had at UH. However, after taking both Linear Algebra and Advanced Linear Algebra with him, I can say one thing: this class is the hardest thing I've ever done. He assigns an ungodly amount of work every week - more than any class I've taken by far, and tests require alot of preparation.

Dr. Morgan is a great professor. Students in my class were so lazy, but they always managed to blame him instead of themselves. He has a unique teaching style that helps students to really learn the material. I highly recommend this professor as he is one of the very best.

Comment:

As my 2nd semester in Graduate school from the same University I must say his course is by far WORK HEAVY than any other courses I have ever taken. Be prepared to do 6-8 hour days of nothing but homework for this class, 7 days a week! Just when you think it's done you will have next week's assignments due. Be prepared! Exams are based on HW's.

Comment:

Dr. Morgan is a great professor! He gives plenty of resources for you to be successful. The only down side to his class is that his lecture videos are extremely long, & the amount of homework that he gives can be too much. If you put effort in & do your homework & watch the lecture videos you should at least get a B, but the A is possible.

Comment:

This guy is was the head of the math department and the co director of the testing center along with numerous other positions. He knows the material inside and out and puts lesser emphasize on computational practice. You WILL need to know the theorems and what they mean. HW was a nightmare, goodnight and goodluck.

Comment:

I do not learn well at someone else's pace and I hardly attended any of the lectures. This is a hard class but I was able to teach myself the material and do the homework with the resources provided. Dr. Morgan cares for his students and will give you the resources you need to do well in the class and on the tests, if you work for it.

Comment:

He gives waaaaaay too much homework. Like some assignments will take more than 10 hours. Doesn't matter if you're good at math or not, he just gives volumes and volumes of it. Like he'll assign homework for two sections, and in one of those sections he'll assign problems 1-16, and problems 1-5 are 10-part problems while 6-16 are proofs, some 2 part

Comment:

I'm a math major, and I hate this class with a passion. Taking it online was a MISTAKE. If you can, take this class IN PERSON! He curves, but this class is all self-taught. No live lecture, only once a week help session at bad time. TB assignments are easy, but FITB are all from his lectures (recorded from semesters ago) and sometimes were hard.

Comment:

I'm new to taking courses at UH, so I can't confirm other student's accounts that Dr. Morgan is the best professor ever, but I can say that out of the 3 math courses I took this summer, his was by far the most well thought-out and well-structured. He puts in superhuman levels of energy into the forums, takes care of his students, and grades fairly.

Comment:

This professor is among the best I've has at UH. He has a different style of teaching which involves a lot of theorems and conceptual understanding of things discussed in class rather than calculations alone like other math courses. The work load is pretty high, but the man cares about your success and you are guaranteed to learn well. 100/10.

Be ready to work hard! There is 1 midterm and 1 final, hw and discussion board activity. There is a lot of homework, so start early on it. Having the book is a must for this class. Also knowing how to read/write proofs is nice too. Dr. Morgan has lectures once a week and will gladly answer any questions. He really wants everyone to do well!

One of the best professors I've had at UH. Very passionate about math, repeats concepts multiple times to make sure students get it, gives a ton of extra credit opportunities. Tests aren't bad, but you need to study. Start homework early, and don't forget to post in the online forum.

Comment:

His class is very hard. He is not clear when answering your questions on the forum. if you take this class, expect to put in hella work because you will need to to get a decent grade. If you skip lectures, it will be difficult to catch up and learn the material. He has two tests, in which he grades very very harshly. I do not recommend taking this

Comment:

Do not take for advanced linear algebra unless you want to spend countless hours doing homework. Online lectures are very helpful but are given one day before assignments are due. Morgan is very willing to help but expects you to know pretty much every detail from the textbook. Did i mention he assigns a ton of hw?
