This is the ideal professor right here. He is the type of professor that WANTS you to do well. He gives so many opportunities for extra credit and is far when grading. He repeats himself often is the material is drilled in your head which leads to good grades. Amazing man.

Unorganized, unprofessional, hypocritical, and unclear begin to describe Dr. Morrison. He changes assignment instructions last minute, they are not clear to being with, and his clarifications do not help. He will meet with you, but is not helpful. Huge group project (like 8-14 people on a team.) Lots of busy work. Some people like him, I do not.

If you want a professor that will be clear and clarify information for you avoid Morrison to protect your own sanity.

Good professor and nice guy. Do all the extra credit possible, it will save your grade. Show up to every class and participate. Class is not too difficult but has a lot of busy work. I would recommend taking Lead100 with a different professor if possible.

class is a waste of time and money have never felt so disrespected by a teacher as i did by him. he only cares about certain students in the class and if you dont tell him hes right and agree with everything he says he will fail you. never has a lecture prepared and his TA is basically his slave and does all his work for him while he rambles on

Best prof. I've had at UD thus far. Need to work for an A, but if you do, it pays off, but he gives out bonus points A LOT. He wants to see you succeed. Didnt mind going to class because he made it interactive & hands on. If you don't like speaking up, group work or getting to know people, don't take it. Is unclear, so ask questions! "THAT'S WEIRD"

The class is a little repetitive and kind of boring at times, but the books used are really helpful if you're going into the business world after college. I used a lot of info from those books for my other classes. The project grading is annoying but not too bad. Don't take it if you cant work with people.

Comment:

Absolutely awful class. Morrison is a nice guy but the group project (25% of your grade) is SO time consuming and annoying. Groups are huge and no class time is given to work on it. 2 exams which are fine if you read and 2 papers which are really easy. Directions always unclear, learn nothing. Just avoid unless you enjoy awful group projects

Probably the most repetitive and contradictory professor I've ever had. Lectures are disorganized and very hard to take notes from. Tests include material never discussed in class or in the textbooks. Honors section has to read 3 extra books and write 3 extra papers. Don't take this class.

Comment:

All of Morrison's lectures are complete BS. He just rambles about very common-sense traits that leaders posses (i.e. leaders are charismatic). I can't believe this is a college class. The class is very easy, but there is so much stupid busy work and it's sooo boring. I would say take it just because it's so easy but be ready for useless busy work.

2 tests, 2 papers, lots of homework assignments and a huge presenataion and group project at the end. Prof doesn't teach anything. Class consists of students summarizing what they read for homework. Participation is a HUGE part of your grade and their is an insane amount of reading assigned. Tests questions are mostly common sense though.

He is a nice guy. the material seemed quite repetitive, but the material itself is easy. a lot of work, but it is EASY work. there is a lot of emphasis on group work. test questions are tricky, but he goes over the essay questions the class before. Also, you NEED to take advantage of the extra credit opportunities. they will help your grade so much

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. This guy is a terrible professor all he does is ramble on about unrelated topics and then say "that's what leaders do, that's why they get paid the big bucks." As a senior I expected this to be an easy elective and I do more work for this class than any of my 400 level classes. Ton of busy work. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS

Very repetitive. Gives a ton of bonus opportunities. Expects you to write about a past experience in the present. Makes you learn everyone's name, but then he can't remember their names.

Nicest guy ever, but this class was a waste. He literally recycles the same lecture for a whole semester and you can tell he's just making stuff up at the top of his head at times. He's really picky about the big project. I would not take this class again, it's not that hard but I simply could not believe this was approved as a college level course

Comment:

Morrison makes leadership a complete joke. Only take this class if you are not a major and you are just trying to fill space because it is an easy grade. This class makes me ask myself why i even go to college if i'm going to be talked to like i'm five. He also repeats the same things over and over again. He is a nice guy though..
