Definitely the hardest class I have ever taken You have to purchase 3 textbooks if you don't go to class you will not pass He requires you to have your camera on and if you don't he will call on you randomly One of the hardest grading teachers I have ever met the zooms are boring 2hrs 15 mins& not interesting if you have the choice do not take him.

Comment:

Professor Morse presented himself as a tough educator and non tolerant for the rules he set out. However, he only made comments on 30% of the postings, and they are brief, non productive--there are dialogues missing. It is not fair for the feed backs we need to gauge our ability of reading, writing and analysis.

Comment:

Prof Morse is brilliant and funny. People giving bad reviews probably don't like you have to try in his class. It isn't easy, it's worth it. You learn so much from him. He is very understanding if you talk to him. His expertise makes you a better writer. He cares and is devoted to student success. Take his Eng 45 class, it's life changing!

Comment:

I'm not shocked to see that Morse has an imperfect score on here, but I think that he is the perfect kind of teacher. He is very strict on tardiness and cell phone use, but I think that policy is beneficial to the student. He is definitely a tough grader, but I actually feel proud coming out of his class a better writer after working for my grade.

Comment:

I took Dr. Morse this semester. Although not his fault, I had to drop his class due to life problems. He assigns a lot of papers and as long as you do all of them, he will allow you to re write one of your choice at the end of the semester. He's always happy to help you and go over your papers during his office hours. Go to them! You'll need it!

Comment:

The hardest and certainly strictest college professor I've ever had. That being said, it was worth it. He taught me more than most of my other college classes combined. IF you bomb your essays (or just don't do as well as you like) he lets you rewrite them after his notes. Do all of the weekly assignments, get the books, do the reading.

Comment:

Dr. Morse is just the hardest grader I ever had. That being said, he made me into a better writer. Because of him, I am now confident when it comes to writing essays. He even offered to write me a letter of recommendation to the Honor's Program, which was great! Take Dr. Morse if you want to improve on your writing, which you will.

Comment:

I took Eng 3H with Dr.Morse and he is very strict on attendance and completing ALL assignments. If you stay on top of the work and see him during office hours, you will do fine. He doesn't want students to worry about their grades but to try their best to improve their writing. He is a harsh critic and refuses to proofread.

Comment:

I did not care for Dr. Morse whatsoever. He has a very strict attendance policy and was anal about tardiness. I found it hypocritical that nearly every class he kept us over- sometimes up to 10 minutes. He is an extremely harsh grader and you know who his favorites are in class. I am an English major but Dr. M made me think twice about my decision

Buy his books, sign the first page so he has proof you purchased it, show up to every class, write five essays including a few summaries, and get a C.

I am not the strongest writer, but I will definitely say that Dr. Morse helped me improved. His in class lessons are a bit boring, but overall he is such a great professor! I would take his class again if I could.

Comment:

He is still my favorite after almost 4 yrs of college. I took him 2 yrs ago but I wanted to note on here that he is such a good professor! I didn't even like him during the course because he was tough but I am now very thankful for his lectures! Very effective in my academic life. Thank you Professor!

Comment:

Makes you buy a new copy of his own textbook and sign sheets from the books to verify that you purchased them new. Sorry, you can't try to find a previous student and buy the books cheaper. He is one of the only English teachers to assign homework other than essays. You must turn in typed reading responses. Great if you have time for extra work.

Mr.Morse is a attentive professor, he is understanding but quite talkative during lectures. Be prepared, ontime to class and you'll need to bring your books everyday. I received an A in the class but I worked hard to achieve.

Yes I agree...he does care and expects a lot out of you but only AFTER he teaches it to you. Hes a great teacher and taking his class will definitely benefit you for the rest of your college career.

Comment:

This teacher is fantastic...one of the best English teachers I've ever had. Anyone who says they don't like him have to be students who don't like to think. I thought this class would be easy (I love eng) but Morse makes you work for your grade. He tells you what you need to work so that you're the best you can be. I definitely recommend his class.
