Grades you based on 3 exams (first 2 are 30% and final is 40%). He had no idea how to work Classes or Zoom and it was a HOT MESS. Never emailed me any of my grades like other students and when I reached out, got no response. Grades on a weird 4.0 scale with no info on how that equates to the letter system. The class isn't hard but he is not it.

pretty lecture heavy BUT to think anyone could fail any of his classes is beyond me. how? 3 exams and a couple hw assignments here and there. If you take notes during his lectures there's no way you won't get an A. his tests are exactly like the notes. Loved his courses!

I have taken many classes with Professor Morris and they have all been amazing. First of all, he's a great professor- laid back, very understanding, but still challenges you. Yes, his courses are lecture heavy, but he usually makes it fun. I honestly don't know how you could fail one of his classes-take him, easy A. You won't regret it.

The teaching style is very lecture-heavy with powerpoints as visual aids. You'll need to attend the lectures to be able to get decent grades on the tests. He says a lot that he puts on the tests. Your entire grade is three tests and he grades them on a 4.0 scale, not letter grades, which is confusing. Doesn't really care about being offensive

I'd like to start off by saying that Professor Morris is a great guy. He makes his lectures interesting and he's hilarious. That being said, he was a little unorganized at times. But overall, he's a good professor. He doesn't give assignments- the final grade is based on 3 exams only. He doesn't count attendance, but show up if you want to pass.

He was disorganized, unclear and went on tangents. He never stuck to his word, and messed up important dates on the syllabus. I wouldnt take his class again and wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

Never take his class again! His grading system is sucks, three exams that all. If you fail one, you get a bad grade on his class. You fail two, you fail the this course. He always talks about things that's not relate to class. Three hours lecture for this professor, boring, and waste time.

i have been taking his class for 2 semesters and i love the way he teaches us. He is really funny and always help students to understand the lecture easily. however, the lecture is quite heavy, so you should be in the class for your exam. oh and there are 3 exams.

Professor Morris takes a lot of time out of the lecture to talk about irrelevant topics. He is not organized and never knows what is going to be on the exam. The exams are not too difficult but there are only three so it is not easy to get an A.

I like Prof. Morris' grading system, which is somewhat skewed but helps in the long run. Tests are somewhat vague yet specific at the same time. MUST ATTEND lectures to know stuff on the test - it isn't a "I'll read the textbook and be fine on the test" class, many "we discussed ____ in class, what was it?" questions on tests. Nice professor.

In Com 114 your grade is based solely in the three tests. 60% lecture notes and 40% vocab from the textbook. He posts all lecture power points online but you must take some additional notes. Some 'tangents' will be on test. Easy enough to get a decent grade. Pay attention and know the information. Quizlet helps! Lectures are interesting.

This is the one class that I truly hated. There were 4 tests overall and half the stuff on the test were things he said in class while talking and didn't relate to any of the notes. It's very lecture heavy and I just sit there the whole time on my laptop doing other stuff. Never taking him gain.

If i could take him every semester I would. Absolutely love his class and the way he teaches. I took him for COM 111 and COM 114 three tests super easy if you study the vocab from the textbook and the notes. Best teacher.

I had him with 3 hour long lectures, which was WAY too long. He goes off on a lot of tangents which seem irrelevant to the course, but then show up on the exams, so if you don't write down all of the random things he says, you might just be screwed for the test. I recommend recording lectures & going to class. Read the vocab in the textbook.

Great Professor! His personality and sense of humor made the lecture based class bearable. He knows so much about the subject and really breaks things down to make them easier to understand. Class grade is based mostly on exams, pay attention to the lectures/PowerPoints and do the assigned reading and you will be fine.

Super funny and relates things to the real world which makes everything easier to understand. Textbook is 100% mandatory to get good grades on his exams, which are always multiple choice/true and false. Not hard at all. Lectures are interesting and sometimes he'll test you on little snippets of them. Please take Barry, you won't regret it!!

Professor Morris is the best professor at Pace University (maybe even in the universe). He is hilarious, his jokes make it easier to remember what he says in class. The tests are fair and he doesn't require much. Just show up, read the textbook, take the tests, BOOM easy A. 11/10 would take again.
