She makes it very clear that she is available to talk at any time which is helpful, however, I did not feel like she gave proper feedback to help improve my writing in the areas I was marked off for. The work load is extremely time consuming and I felt like the grading in this class was not done fairly considering how much work is put in.

She is a super nice person, gives out a lot of extra credit, and helps when needed. However, the workload is the most I have ever experienced. Not going to lie, its hard to keep up with. There are a lot of assignments outside of class to complete (which are very time consuming) and also assignments that she instructs to do in class.

She is a great professor. I took the English 101 online through the summer while taking anatomy II and another biology class. The assignments are very manageable and if you have any question she responds to email pretty quickly. She gives you a topic and you can run with it.

Dr. Morgan was pretty decent. She was particular about papers, but gave pretty decent feedback. She is big on respect. Respect her, and she'll respect you. If you ask her for a reference she is great about it. Fairly clear. Overall decent teacher and great person.

Dr. Morgan is a very polite teacher. Although, there is a lot of work load and the criteria is quite extensive. It is very difficult to keep up with discussions outside of class. Unfortunately, she gives more time inside of class discussing how to to research a paper rather than helping with the actual paper itself. That is the downside.

Overall, Professor Morgan responds to emails most of the time, unless you have a question about your grade received on an assignment. Moreover, the class load for the online class version was absurd, to say the least, after the amount of work required for how tough of a grader she is I wouldn't recommend her to any of my friends I wanted to succeed

Dr. Morgan did not seem to care if you passed or failed. Her lectures helped with no papers, and she gave 3 days to research, type, and finalize all 8-10 pg papers. She was ridiculous to deal with and I did not skip a class all semester. Overall, I would not recommend taking this professor to anyone who actually wants to receive a decent grade.

101 was easy: pretty simple and straightforward. 102, on the other hand, was a bit of a struggle. lectures were not particularly helpful and papers were difficult to write in the short time period she allowed. however, when i fell behind in the class and reached out for help she was incredibly accommodating and very kind in helping me.

In the first few weeks of her class, the workload was kind of overwhelming so I wouldnt take her if you have a busy schedule. After a while it died down, and as long as you did the work you were left with most of your points from the class halfway through the semester. she works with you if you are falling behind, so dont be afraid to reach out.

Not an easy A class, you had to work for your grade. She is very accessible outside of class and will help teacher review your paper (I highly suggest this!). She was very helpful during the covid transition. If you're wanting an easy A class, this is not the one, but if you are willing to put in the work, then I'd highly suggest her.

Absolutely terrible. She never interacted with the class, treated the students like we were kindergartners, and docked me points on an assignment for not discussing my disability. She also never taught at all. She sent weekly emails giving "tips" which were just inspirational quotes about life. If you value your sanity, don't take this class.

Dr. Morgan was ok, attendance wasn't required but she lectured so much. She has a very monotone lecturing voice as well. Sometimes she was hard to follow but make sure you read the rubrics. She was super nice but sometimes it was really frustrating when she would grade things pretty harshly. She also makes you buy 2 books that she wrote. (no tests)

Took Dr. Morgan's class for Eng101 & 102. I liked that she doesn't require in-person attendance. Keep up with your work online and communicate with her via email. She reviewed my rough drafts & always gave me good feedback on changes to make before submitting. My only negative is that the assignments from the textbook are kind of long and tedious.
