Comment:

Professor Morra was wonderful. The syllabus and grading criteria was very cut and dry. He is a fair, fast grader and answers any questions you may have. His grading turnaround time is the best I have had. He also doesn't mind making corrections if you point them out. Keep your deadlines and you will pass!

Professor Morra is very clear in what he wants from you, and what he wants is not difficult at all. He usually responds very quickly to any questions, sometimes within an hour. He grades fairly and always gives helpful feedback.

This is my second time taking an online class with it and it was worth it. He is clear with what he wants and hes not a tough grader. I would recommend you take him if youre looking for an online class to take.

Comment:

Parents beware! If you have young children who you have to help in school a lot or have other issues and you happen to be a single parent who needs the night hours to get work done, look elsewhere. His deadlines are at 5:00 Sunday instead of the usual midnight. 7 hours less than the usual deadline. Not necessary. Not understanding. Take another.

Best online class I have taken so far. He gives great feedback. On the quizzes you get multiple attempts and theyre pretty simple if you read the chapter. Just have to know key terms for the exam. Discussion boards are easy and a great help to get different perspectives on that chapters topic.

Great professor, my first online class and he made it a breeze. Pop quizzes with mutations attempts, discussion boards that are simple and follow the chapter. Two tests that he provides key terms and ONLY those terms to study.

EASY A!! DQs each week - You get to choose something out of the chapter to write about. Two papers - one individual and one choice of group of individual. Mid Term and Final right off his study guides. I BSed my way through both papers, and I received a 100%. TAKE THIS CLASS - YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!

Great guy all around. Morra took a dreaded communications course and turned it into one of my favorite courses Ive taken all year. 2 exams, straight from the study guide, 1 group project which you can choose an alternative version of to do on your own. Really cool dude, kinda wish all profs were so chill.

I took him online. Really easy professor, do your work, submit on time and you get full points. Really good feedback. Seriously easy class. One group project and one project to do on your own. He does give an alternative group project which you can do on your own and its not long at all. It might seem long but legit took only an hour to finish.

Comment:

I loved this class. Very simple. First 6 chapters are the first exam, 7 - 12 are the last exam. The exam is basically vocab and he gives you a study cheat prior to the exam and during the exam which is nice to use as a word bank. Two big projects but easy. Did both in less than a day. You should read the textbook but I often skipped and got an A.

Professor Morra is one of the BEST professors I've ever had. I took CST 126 online with him and got an easy A. He's a generous grader, and responds to emails right away. Only one discussion board assignment per chapter, one essay, one group project and two exams. There's noway you can't pass his class! He's very genuine and provides great feedback

I took an online course with Morra. He responds back to students very quick and he's always there to help. I was hesitant at first taking this course online but I'm glad I did.

Professor Morra was very clear on what he expected as far as work, quizzes and tests. I purchased his book online. A lot of discussion boards which required involvement and feedback. He is quick to grade, reply and help. You 100% have to review for his exams to receive an A. Easy A, granted you put forth the effort!

Mr. Morra is an awesome nice teacher! Not a lot of home work (for online classes for 12 wks, you'll do a discussion board and quiz) typical 2 exams and 2 projects that aren't that bad. Just be sure to study for his exams. No bad things to say about him.

Amazing. His exams were not hard. He was not a tough grader at all. As long as you but effort and showed that you actually tried to do your HW or projects, you still got an A. 100% recommend this professor.

I took the summer 12 week online class. It was great and the work load was fine, assignments not accepted after deadline also quizzes for each chapter. 2 exams. Great prof. responds quickly and helps when asked. 2 projects, I felt that doing individual projects instead of group was easier but you can choose.

I took Professor Morra's online class and it was great - would take him again! There are discussion postings every week (1 for each chapter/12 total in the semester) that are short and to the point. 2 tests - basically straight from the study guide (mostly vocabulary). He is very quick to respond to emails/concerns.

I love this teacher ! his class was the best online class i have ever taken. His class is clear and easy and even got an A without studying for the mid term and the final. He gives study guides.
