Very nice, notes on blackboard, just pay attention,
very clear/precise notes on BB. exams difficult. good prof.
very clear, helpful
energetic, fun, good lectures
He is a funny and great guy. He tries to make class interesting and jokes. He understands we don't always want to be there and pay attention. If you are going to take PSY101 take him!
Best class I've ever had, group exams, no attendance, makes class funny and interesting, joke around a lot, very young and cool, great class.

Take home exams, that's all I gotta say! he's awesome too!
He is a great professor. He actually makes lectures interesting. Exams are essay in format, so it's a harder, but you learn what you need to. Try to make all the lectures, if not, you will have to read the book.
Willing to help but very hard grader. All tests essays.
Very interesting prof given the lecture format, tests questions seem straightforward but they're not.
funny professor, hard tests, good notes
Gives lots of notes. Has to talk about the latest movies to get any reaction out of the class. Have to go to class for in-class assignments. Has all MC tests.
Fun teacher, good lectures, notes on blackbord, real helpful
Tries to make subject matter interesting. Tests (essay) are tough, if u don't like group work. Would rather of had him in classroom setting than lecture hall.
Multi-choice tests are bull, but great guy and very funny.
Great class and an excellent teacher. very willing to help and very easy to talk to.
Way cool guy, funny. Great teacher. Essay tests rock.
Lectures are clear and he describes what he wants for exams. You do have to work a little, but he keeps class fun.
Great guy. Very clear, fun class.

great guy and funny, tests are essay but take home however you have to do it as a group. So if you don't trust others don't take this class.
kind of sucks when the girls flirt with him, but he is AWESOME take this class with him compared with any other 301 prof. my favorite class of the semester
He's a WONDERFUL teacher...loves the simpsons...and makes the class interesting and hilarious! TAKE HIM! Essay exams are great, plus, hes sooo cute!
What essay tests? They're all multiple choice. He can't give a straight answer to a question and I don't think he cares about his students.
Haha, he's great. Take the class. Learn as much as you can. Laugh at his craziness and friendly personality. What a great guy!
not a very interesting class, but good teacher.
Funny professor. Make sure you watch as many movies as you can before you take his class. He spends 5-10 minutes at the beginning of class talking about movies. He has since changed his test format to MC, but it is still easy. Great Prof.
Nice guy. He has a lot of information. Almost too much. His exams are pretty hard. The class average is always under a B. All multiple choice tests. But they still are difficult.
Take him if you can. He's an awesome professor and the class doesn't require too much work. Make sure you study the guides he gives you for the tests otherwise you'll do bad on the exams.
This is guy is great. Very funny and interesting, always has good examples. Take him if you need 301.
He's so funny!! He's got a great personality. It was my favorite class of the semester, I'd take him again. MC tests aren't that bad and there isn't much work involved. Simpsons rock!
very good prof. lots of information
Definatly the prof. to take for any psy class. Just attend class and show up for exams and you will get an A or B. Very funny, brightens up a long boring day of classes.
Very nice guy. He knows its not that interesting of info so he tries to make class as fun and interesting as possible. Tests aren't easy, but if you go to class and study before the exam you will do fine.
He is funny, not very clear at times, and kind of sarcastic. Don't ask "will this be on the test" he will rip your head off. He must have had a traumatic experience with this question. For the paper the questions are extremely hard and it showed
Well none of the girls in my class flirted with Brad, but he is super cute :). He's SO nice and he'll help you out for SURE if you aren't getting it. Tests are easy and I haven't missed this class once because he makes it so fun! TAKE HIM!
Brad is an awesome and funny guy. I really learned a lot in his class. He's very cooperatitive and is always willing to help when you need it.
this man is hilarious. class isn't too bad either - sometimes the lecture material is dry, but he keeps it light. do the study guides, and the tests should not be a problem. not a bad looker either.
Definately my favorite class. Very easygoing guy who actually askes us how our day is going and what our plans for the weekend are. Doesn't load students down with lots of boring material.
Great guy, and great class. Test weren't too bad if you studied. In-class assignments were fun. One of the best I've had here at GVSU!
awesome guy! really funny and is always willing to help. grades fair and makes class fun and interesting. if you got him, consider yourself luck :)
GREAT PROF! Makes lectures interesting and classes fly by. Casual and very approachable. Just can't say enough. Take this prof!
Knows his knowledge. Make sure to pay attention. Very forward grading. Make sure you study.
Great Prof, tests are really really hard though. Also make sure you attend class cause he has in class assignments and you can't make up those points if you miss. One big project, not really hard but time consumming. Funny guy, makes class interesting. Take hiim if you have to take the class
Not a bad class. Just everything is group projects and exams and i hate that. Pretty unclear about what he is looking for on exams but he is very willing to help out. Class is a bit boring, but he tries to keep material fun and interesting. Good guy.
really really nice guy, knows a lot awesome guy!
Easiest professor for Child Development. Other classes had to do a 20 page report, we had to do a 5 page MAX report. Good guy who was funny as well.
This prof. was a nice guy and the in-class assignments were simple. The tests are very difficult though. If you are not a good test taker, I wouldn't recommend taking this prof. Make sure you study hard and aim for at least a C, especially if you are applying to the College of Ed. later on.
Great prof., very fair, REALLY helpful if you ask. Tests are not hard if you study. Very nice guy.
makes class fun. good guy.
Really really nice guy! He knows his stuff is a great teacher and loves what he is doing. The class can be easy and it can be hard. The tests are a challenge to get an A on but overall the class is great and he is an awsome prof!!
Great analogies to help concept comprehension, great methods for teaching, asks for student suggestions as to how the class should run, hilarious, I would take any class he offers.
He keeps class going with his humor (quite funny). Similiar to other psychology classes that I've had. Very approachable and good teacher. Take him if possible.
He is really nice but you never seem to learn the information you need in the class. He thinks that he goes over it all in class with you but in reality he doesn't.
Brad has a great sense of humor and takes a genuine interest in his students! He does a great job of making lectures as interesting as they can be. Come to class and you'll understand the topics better. Gives in class assignments to keep track of attendance, and there is little homework.
excellent!
Definitely get him! He's an awesome prof. He makes lectures interesting and is really funny. The tests are a lot harder than I thought, so study hard for those. But, I learned a lot and would definitely get him again.
The best, most helpful professor EVER... fun, loves the Simpsons, good guy. Psych was actually enjoyable and understandable. He's just excellent. I have nothing bad to say about him. Take his class!
He really is a good teacher. He knows his stuff, and presents it in a way you can too. DON'T BUY THE BOOK!! Never used the 70$ thing. Tests are multiple choice but can be hard to get an A. Everything else is pretty fun, if you attend class your in good shape
The class in extremely boring for the first third, I feel asleep a lot. However once the material became interesting and not so technical I payed attention more and did the review sheets and did pretty well on the second two exams. If you can get through the technical stuff you'll do fine.
Prof Morris is Amazing! He has the greatest sense of humor and he teaches the info in a way that we will understand AND remember it! I loved this class and this prof! The tests can be challenging. The first test was easy enough that you didn't need the book but for the following tests, reading would help bc Examples are staight from the book!
Morris freakin' rules. Exams are extremely easy if you follow the study guides - examples are straight out of the book. He is also the easiest PSY301 prof - no observations, just one project that doesn't take long so long as you start early on it. Plus, any guy that likes "The Simpsons" is cool in my book. His lectures are extremely engaging.
The class was somewhat difficult (which was to be expected), but he did a good job presenting and explaining the info. Def. kept class interesting. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Have to study for tests. Hilarious guy though. Class was actually enjoyable!
VERY GOOD PROF! BEST 301 PROF-- TAKE HIM ONLY!!!
Straight forward prof who is super funny. Use the study guides and go to class and you will do fine.
He's a cool guy and funny and very easy to distract off topic, but the class itself kind of sucks. The information is not that interesting, and he grades tough on the project. I thought the tests were pretty tough, too, although I got B's on all of them.
Brad is an excellent professor. You HAVE to read the textbook to get an A on the exams, but passing isn't too hard. He keeps lectures very interesting with his examples and analogies as well. I would recommend taking him for sure.
He makes this class very enjoyable. I would love to have hime agian. I made tons of jokes and the whole class laughed. The tests are pretty much from the text. You really wouldn't even have to attend a class but he does explian eveything clearly in lecture.
Without a doubt one of the funnest profs I've ever had. Really easy to get along with and really down to earth. He has tons of fun stories and knows his material. The class itself on the other hand isn't that exciting. He gives you review sheets before exams. Make flashcards, it seemed to work for most of us.
Professor Morris is the best professor I have ever had!! He is so funny and interesting. Also he is very helpful and always posts a review sheet for the tests, but you have to read the book if you want to pass!!
He tells you not to make flash cards to study, don't listen. I did and I did well on all three of the exams. Read the book for parts that you are unclear about and make sure you study all of your note. DO NOT study just the review sheet, it makes the difference between an A and A-. The child assessment project is no big deal, just start early!!
You get the notes of blackboard.. and he just reads from the notes during class.. never pushes you to do better, never offers other information outside of the textbook. Makes Psychology BORING, and it's not. Not an outstanding teacher, but he's nice guy. He just doesn't go over and beyond what he has to do.
great prof. knows his stuff and makes class interesting. one of the best at GVSU
AMAZING prof.! I absolutely loved this class. I enjoyed going because he kept me so entertained and he kept the material interesting. He gives great examples to help you relate the material to everyday life. He posts the notes for every chapter on BB and all you have to do is bring them to class and add important notes from lecture. Take him!!!!!!
Very cool professor. Take his section! He's very interesting, funny, and helpful. Final exam isn't cumulative, either.
Awesome prof! Really funny and nice!!!!
You get the notes off blackboard, he goes through them again in class adding his own lecture into it. My class never had to crack the book except to look at diagrams once in a while. Very funny, keeps you entertained in the class. Attendance is not mandatory but it is recommended because of the lecture, and he has in-class assignments for points.
Easy class if you show up. He gives out points for activities which basically says that you were there. Attendance isn't mandatory. Notes are on BB, but the lecture gives you a lot of information on the tests. Make sure you read the chapters before he goes over them...or at least skim them because it makes it easier. Great professor, take his class
Awesome professor, he is the coolest prof I have had at GVSU yet. He is good at making complex concepts simple, and has a great sense of humor. I'm now taking a MWF 301 class with him and Mondays are optional, and Fridays we don't have class. You still need to study for tests and you will learn despite the relaxed setting.
Very cool professor! He is very knowledgable and a funny guy. And he looks like the actor Matthew Lillard! Another great thing is that classes are optional to go to on Mondays, mandatory on Wednesdays, and there's no class on Friday! So you only have to go to class once a week if you want! Highly recommended.
This guy is funny and nice, but does not motivate at all. Don't take his class if you are not self-motivated because he could care less if you passed. Fun guy to talk to though
He is so cute and funny! My class was MWF but he made W the only mandatory day. He made his class from lectures online so don't take it if you don't like online courses. Funny humor and I really enjoyed his class. Tests are fine just study the lectures and show up and do activities and quizzes in class on wednesdays. I really enjoyed him! helpful
This guy is awesome. Very funny and nice. He is very helpful outside of class and during review days. I had a technology issue resulting in my most recent edit of a paper getting deleted the day is was due, and he was very understanding and fair about it. Best prof for this class.
I had him for PSY 301, he developed a new format for classes that involve online narative lectures using powerpoint. It was great. I did very well, and class time is used to answer questions, and no friday classes! I'd take him again in a heart beat.
Awesome.
professor morris is awesome.. he is very laid back and down to earth. i definitely felt that his lectures were easy to pay attention to. attendance isnt mandatory but he does in class assignments that will hurt your grade if you dont go... however i did think the exams were hard for a 100 level course. i recommend him though :)
Great teacher, doesn't use textbook except for recommended reviewing on your own. Fair tests and non accumulating final exam.
This class was great! Every lecture was interesting and fun. He explains things very well so anyone can understand
I took him again for PSY 301 because he was such a great professor. If you pay attention in class, which is not hard to do, then you should do fine and have a great time.
He has a good sense of humor, teaches using PP only, and posts the lecture material on BB. The tests are not too bad as long as you take good notes and do the readings to reinforce the material. Tests are all multiple-choice. He always emphasizes that he doesn't assign papers. :-)
Funniest professor I have ever had. This guy will make you laugh the whole class period. The set-up is mostly online lectures and then discussion about them in class, I took it MWF and we got friday's off. The quizzes are done in groups so you almost always get a 10/10. Exams are not too bad as long as you have listened to the lectures.
Great Professor. I had him for Psych 100 and he always had me laughing. Book use is low except when you study and he always has powerpoints that he posts online on blackboard making his class easy to follow. You wont go wrong with this professor.
Keeps the class interesting with his sense of humor and laid back personality. The class consists of powerpoint slides that are also posted on blackboard. Attendence is pretty important because he randomly takes attendance from time to time. Exams aren't a breeze, they require studying. Overall, I highly recommend this professor.
I really liked his class! Test were hard but fair, if you study and go to class you will do fine. Final was not cumulative! He is really funny and makes the class fun. I specifically signed up for him for my developmental class. I decided to be a psych minor after this class even!
Brad is my favorite professor at GV. Very funny, helpful, has interesting classes--never a dull moment. Truly cares about his students and is flexible with students' needs/accommodations. Knowledgeable as well and is always willing to answer questions.
Is an absolutely dope prof. Morris is a really funny guy who relates well with his students. hes extremely clear with what he teaches and makes the curriculum fun. The incentive to going to class is to enjoy his lectures and write your name on a attendance sheet every once in a great while for random points.
Really laid back teacher, easy class, easy assignments, tests are straightforward, and he gives you study guides so you know what to know. Funny, nice, don't bother buying the book, i never picked it up once.
By far the best prof i have had at GV fun class keeps it interesting relates things to tv like family guy and the simpsons and such highly recommend Morris
Awesome prof. GET HIM! His lectures are all online, which kind of sucks, but there are no Friday classes. He's real laid back. If you need to turn your homework in late, he'll allow it. Surprise quizzes, can do them with other people. Homework every few weeks.
Hilarious to listen to, talks about drugs a lot, exams are pretty difficult b/c they cover very broad subjects, attendance is kinda important since he randomly checks it without warning so you get 5 points if you're there, overall a cool professor
He's a funny guy, and he's definitely passionate about what he's teaching. There was pretty much never homework for the class, but make sure you attend as he does give points on random days for attendance. His tests aren't really easy, but there's only three, and the final wasn't cumulative. The book was useful, but not necessary.
Really funny guy, makes class much more interesting than it could be. Never keeps the class the entire class period. Tests were kinda hard but were also laid out in front of you with his review sheets. Take him.
Excellent Professor. If you have to take PSY 301 then take this professor. He was very laid back, very willing to work with students and had a good sense of humor. Certainly one of the best professors I have had at Grand Valley.
so much fun. Loved this psych class and got a fabulous grade. He's amazing and very passionate about what he teaches. A GV favorite!
Great professor, very entertaining. You could tell he likes what he does. Never gives homework, notes are all powerpoints and on blackboard, but still take notes! His tests are a bit hard, study all your and the book a little too.
Awesome prof! Very easy going and laid back. Grading isn't too difficult if you listen to lectures and read a little of the text. Cancelled all friday classes for my class. He is a funny guy and makes class interesting! HIGHLY recomend!
Very easy class. Awesome professor. He made class halarious and made me want to attend. Attendence I'snt necessary but he takes random extra credit attendence. Easy A, great prof. would love to have him again.
This class has been by far my favorite at GV. I learned alot, and got a great grade for a reasonable amount of effort. I would highly recommend this professor to anyone interested in psychology.
my favorite prof so far. he's so funny and i don't mind attending lectures. not very hard, tests are easy if you study. definitely would take him again
I would highly recommend taking this prof for PSY. He makes the otherwise boring material interesting. The class is fun and upbeat. Definitely take this prof if you have the chance!!!
Take this prof if you can!!He makes class interesting and the material is presented in a good way.
He was a good professor who was great at incorporating real life examples to make the material clear to us. He could be a bit more clear about when exams are but other than that he was great! Definitely would recommend him!
This man deserves a raise. He is one of the best professors on the face of this planet. He makes an interesting field even more interesting. Hes clear, presents himself VERY well, and you would WANT to go to his class even if the topic may (but probably wont) be boring. Seriously, this guy is flawless and should be teaching every topic in psych.
He is vary laid back and usually gives you 10 or 20 of the questions and answers on every quiz. Easy to understand and he understands the stress of college life. I would suggest him to anyone
I had Morris for both 101 and 301. Great prof... he kept class interesting, gave out a lot of free points just for showing up, and quizzes and exams were a breeze with minimal studying. In 301, lectures were online and my MWF class only met MW (aka Fridays off)!
Great teacher. Easy to follow note guides and class. Exams easy if you show up to class. Attendance not required by why would you want to miss this class.
This prof. is very good, and i would definitely recommend. He gives easy participation points just for showing up. His exams are very clear and rather easy. He just tests to see if you know the info., and doesn't try to trick you in any way
Funny Prof. Makes time fly in class. Lets us out early almost all the time and never once did I need to go to firday class. Got a good grade and wish that I had him for other pysch courses I took after. He is not boring like other profs and you learn more in his class and have a lot of fun to. He should teach other GV profs how to teach.
Brad is an awesome prof. He is very funny and relates really well to his students. His class isnt crazy hard but needs some studying. He gave our class Fridays off for good and instead gave us weekly lectures to listen to on our own time calling it "the hybrid method". He is a really cool guy though and he makes his classes fun and interesting.
Brad is by far the most amazing professor I've had! I may be biased because PSY is my major, but he makes everything fun/interesting. Take him for anything! It's an easy grade and you seriously learn so much. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Recommend. This is my second time taking this course, he teaches it way better! Offers extra credit all the time and takes attendance for e.c. all the time. The exams are pretty easy too. Just make sure to study...
He does NOT give extra credit for anything, he is very interesting and his class is easy. If you pay attention read the lectures you will do fine.
Morris is awesome! He has a great real-life example for almost every concept he brings up and gives absolutely no homework. Attendance is not required but he chooses random days to count who's there and gives them points. Go to class and be sure to study for the tests because that's what most of your grade rides on. TAKE HIM! He's funny, too.
AWESOME PROF. Hands down one of the best I have had here at GV! He made his Friday classes online so classes are really only Monday and Wednesday! Test are multiple choice and he will always make you laugh in class!
He is a nice guy and the lectures are entertaining.
