Comment:
Dr. Morrill is absolutely brilliant. His lectures are long, but meaningful, and he is very knowledgable and wise about the world around him. Poems are assigned weekly and the readings are fairly short. The one trouble I find with Dr. Morrill is that I received the same grade on every poem with little commentary on how to improve.

Comment:
Donald Morrill was unhelpful. He didn't know anything about blackboard or the discussion form we were to participate in (or maybe he just couldn't be bothered) . He was arrogant, rude and condescending. I have taken courses at several universities (I have a Ph.d in English), and Dr. Morrill was undoubtedly the worse professor I have ever met.

Just don't. Worst professor I'd ever had. No clear grading criteria, his lectures were painfully long and irrelevant, just don't. Take someone else, ANYONE else.

Comment:
Taking this is a joke. The teachers lectures were an 1 hour & 50 minutes of him talking about nothing. I did not learn one thing about poetry. He didn't give tests or quizzes or ask questions about the books chapters. Yet he felt the need to slam us with a last minute final, refusing to hint what would be on it. We all failed the final miserably.

Loves to hear himself talk!! He's a brilliant man, but most times i have no idea what he is talking about. If you don't have a background in poetry i do not recommend taking his class, it will be over your head. His lectures are usually long but assignments are not terribly hard

Comment:
This was a class that I dreaded going to. I love poetry but this class was so boring. He is a hard grader and doesn't take the writing literally. If you do take his class keep in mind that he really likes metaphors.Also, he says class is mandatory but doesn't take attendance I would recommend going to class though.

Hated going to this class every day, felt more like philosophy and made no sense at all. His feed back on essays is extremely unhelpful. I would not recommend this professor, and will never take another one of his classes.

Comment:
It's been a while since anyone's said anything...I wonder if it's been that long since he taught. Not much has changed, except he doesn't talk about politics much. He's still pompous and arrogant, still likes to hear himself talk, and still likes to make his students feel like they're stupid failures. He's not unintelligent, by any means, just a je

I could not stand going to this class. I dreaded it soooo much everyday. All he talks about is politics and if you don't agree with what he has to say, then he will lecture you about how wrong you are and make you feel horrible about yourself. I would avoid taking him if possible. He wasn't too hard of a grader, but his classes were dreadful.

I love him. He's the best ever. As long as you have an open and creative mind, you can't go wrong with him. He's a pleasure to listen to...and to look at. Spending time in his class is truly educational. You'll walk out the doors a far more worldly person and you'll see things in a whole new light!

Comment:
Had this guy when he first got to UT back in 1989 or so. He was somewhat pessimistic and of course political back then, but sounds like he must have really blown a gasket when Bush got elected - twice! Ha ha! Oh, other than that, he knows the subject matter and can discuss it with clarity and depth. Good prof.

The man LOVES to hear himself talk. He seemed like he enjoyed telling students about his own writing, rather than helping them with their own writing. His class was okay though. Not too hard. Not too easy. I hated it when he weaved politics into the nonpolitical class. He's a commie.

Loved his everyday quotes and conversations that he led. I didn't so much like the expectation of perfection in writing, he didnt seem to understand it was my first writing class EVER. I ended up with a B though. i think his way of motivating you is by making you think you are not up to par... he was amazing though... I enjoyed his class every day!
