I will remind students Morse is Dept.Head. Any unhelpfulness may be, in actuality, complete busyness on his part; he earned the title not by neglecting his class. He is a teacher who takes interest in students who take interest in English, for whom guidence and understanding are offered.

Dr. Morse is not easy, but he makes himself available to work with students when they need help. He is very helpful if you want to put the time into the class. You will learn how to write in his class.

his class is not easy but we are here to learn. As long as you show up, do your work, and participate in class you will be fine. I hate writing but I passed with a B.

Dr. Morse's class is difficult, but I think the student who wrote the very poorly written rating (two ratings down) should consider retaking him!

Dr. Morse is not a difficult instructor. The students who left negative comments do not seem that interested in the subject to begin with. If you utilize him, he is very helpful. Basically if you are a responsible student, take him and you will learn. Lazy students, BEWARE.

Dr. Morse is a great professor-if you're willing to put the work in. The people that complained are probably the one who don't think they should have to show up or turn things in on time. He's demanding but extremely helpful if you go to him and ask for it. I would definitely take him again.

Dr. Morse is one of the best English professors at LBCC. He certainly demands punctuality and responsibility from his students, but that only comes to show that he really cares about their success. Remember that an easy teacher does not prepare you for the next level. If you are willing to meet deadlines and present quality work, take him.

HES A REALLY GOOD TEACHER. REMEMBER YOU WILL HAVE TO READ AND WRITE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, SO YOU NEED A GOOD TEACHER TO TEACH ALL THAT AND DR, MORSE IS THE RIGHT ONE. IF U GET EASY TEACHERS IN COMMUNITY COLLE THEN YOU WONT BE WELL PREPARED FOR A CAL OR UNIV... IT'S YOUR CHOICE... HES STRICT BUT NOT BAD AT ALL... -KIBO-

Dont let people tell you that Dr. Morse is a "bad" teacher. They probably didn't care for the work and were being lazy bums. He makes sure you understand the work and does it quite entertainingly. Take him and learn something. Remember, this is college people!

he was a good teachera a little hot

Excellent teacher. Not easy, but always willing to help. Class was discussion, not lecture. I'd take him again.

The class was a lot of work, but not that hard because Dr. Morse was always available. One of the best classes I have taken.

He is the best English Teacher I ever had. I wish I had him in high school. He is really tough, but he doesn't expect you to know everything. I like how detailed he is when he explains things. Take him if you really want to learn English.

I LOVE Morse! He is an AMAZING teacher. Take him! He is tough but well worth the effort. He cares for his students. He is passionate about English and he wants you to succeed. TAKE HIM! No cell phones in class.

Good teacher. You will learn a lot from him. Just turn your cell phones off before you go to class. You dont need to buy expensive books.

Morse expects a lot but he was always willing to help. I would take his class again.

He is a demanding and straight forward teacher. He will not negogiate his own terms for the class. He is clear on what he wants from you. That being said, avoid taking his class.

Morse is a great professor. He is strict, but he is always willing to help and wants his students to succeed. This was one of the best classes I have taken.

I really enjoyed this class. The professor was helpful and made class fun, and we learned a lot. He seemed hard at first, but he did not grade hard in the end. I would recommend him.

Dr. Morse is a great teacher. Yes there's reading assignments, but it's a college english class! He is extremely helpful and wants you to ask for it! Intimidating at first, but you soon see this is a professor who wants his students to be prepared and do well. Now attending CSULB I'm thankful I had a class with Dr. Morse.

Great teacher. Class topics were interesting and the environment was good. He's always available to help students improve. He's not as funny as he thinks he is, but he's okay. Independent learners can do fine, but he also encourages students to come to him for help so everyone can do well. Take the class.

Morse seems like a tough professor because from the first day of class he sets very high expectations. I was disappointing because some people passed with A's that I felt did not deserve it, especially after working my butt of for mine! Just keep visiting him in his office hours for help to show that you are making effort and he will appreciate it.

Morse is a great professor. He is always willing to help his students and had extra office hours sometimes. He has high expectations, but if you are willing to work you will learn from him. I would recommend him to anyone.

I loved Morse's literature class. We had great discussion with a lot of people participating. Morse gave everyone a chance to give opinions, and that made the class fun. He seemed hard at first but really was not in the end. I would definitely take his class again.

Pretty good professor. Had him for Intro To Lit. with a focus on literary works by minorities. Good reading selections and interesting content in the form of plays made this class kick ass! The Chris Farley comment is true ...but I think it's more his Chris Farley accent that does it rather than his appearance. Good prof and cool class!

I had Dr. Morse for English 3H, and for my last semester at LBCC, i took him for English Lit. There's no question that his class is not as easy as the other classes, but what's really good about him is the fact that he gives you the grade that you actually deserve. I've learned so much from his class, and I absolutely recommend him. One of the best

This is a PROFESSOR. The class was pretty tough but he is helpful and acutally cares about his work and the students' work. His expectations are high, no doubt, but it will make you a better student in the end.

amazing

wonderful

the best

This teacher is fantastic...one of the best English teachers I've ever had. Anyone who says they don't like him have to be students who don't like to think. I thought this class would be easy (I love eng) but Morse makes you work for your grade. He tells you what you need to work so that you're the best you can be. I definitely recommend his class.

Yes I agree...he does care and expects a lot out of you but only AFTER he teaches it to you. Hes a great teacher and taking his class will definitely benefit you for the rest of your college career.

Mr.Morse is a attentive professor, he is understanding but quite talkative during lectures. Be prepared, ontime to class and you'll need to bring your books everyday. I received an A in the class but I worked hard to achieve.

Mr.Morse is a likeable professor his test are from the notes you take in class, however there is a lot of reading and analysing the readings be prepared to read and you'll do fine.

Makes you buy a new copy of his own textbook and sign sheets from the books to verify that you purchased them new. Sorry, you can't try to find a previous student and buy the books cheaper. He is one of the only English teachers to assign homework other than essays. You must turn in typed reading responses. Great if you have time for extra work.

He is still my favorite after almost 4 yrs of college. I took him 2 yrs ago but I wanted to note on here that he is such a good professor! I didn't even like him during the course because he was tough but I am now very thankful for his lectures! Very effective in my academic life. Thank you Professor!

I am not the strongest writer, but I will definitely say that Dr. Morse helped me improved. His in class lessons are a bit boring, but overall he is such a great professor! I would take his class again if I could.

Best professor ever!He is very clear and thorough. He will definitely grade you hard, but it will help you improve! Loved his class and discussions.

I took Eng 3H with Dr.Morse and he is very strict on attendance and completing ALL assignments. If you stay on top of the work and see him during office hours, you will do fine. He doesn't want students to worry about their grades but to try their best to improve their writing. He is a harsh critic and refuses to proofread.

Dr. Morse is just the hardest grader I ever had. That being said, he made me into a better writer. Because of him, I am now confident when it comes to writing essays. He even offered to write me a letter of recommendation to the Honor's Program, which was great! Take Dr. Morse if you want to improve on your writing, which you will.

The hardest and certainly strictest college professor I've ever had. That being said, it was worth it. He taught me more than most of my other college classes combined. IF you bomb your essays (or just don't do as well as you like) he lets you rewrite them after his notes. Do all of the weekly assignments, get the books, do the reading.

I took Dr. Morse this semester. Although not his fault, I had to drop his class due to life problems. He assigns a lot of papers and as long as you do all of them, he will allow you to re write one of your choice at the end of the semester. He's always happy to help you and go over your papers during his office hours. Go to them! You'll need it!

I'm not shocked to see that Morse has an imperfect score on here, but I think that he is the perfect kind of teacher. He is very strict on tardiness and cell phone use, but I think that policy is beneficial to the student. He is definitely a tough grader, but I actually feel proud coming out of his class a better writer after working for my grade.

Prof Morse is brilliant and funny. People giving bad reviews probably don't like you have to try in his class. It isn't easy, it's worth it. You learn so much from him. He is very understanding if you talk to him. His expertise makes you a better writer. He cares and is devoted to student success. Take his Eng 45 class, it's life changing!

I loved Dr. Morse. His discussions of the reading were always engaging and he knows how to make things funny. He can sometimes have a pretty dry and straightforward way of talking about things which could be off-putting for some. His essays and tests were decently tough, and he grades hard. He lets you re-write essays after he grades them

Don't skip this class. Seriously, you'll regret it. The midterm & final are based off class discussions so participate/follow along with what your classmates are saying. He points something out, you highlight it! His essays are fun- gives you free range on topics if you want, just discuss it with him before hand. He will help you if you let him.

Don't listen to other people here, he's a great professor that you'll learn a lot from if you just listen to what he's actually saying and put the effort in to do well in the class. Very clear with what he wants out of us as students, and puts a lot of effort into making sure that we're able to do well, even despite his tough (but fair) grading.

Dr. Morse is an amazing teacher. He really cares for his students and wants the best for them. Lectures can be lengthy and tedious at times, but going to his office hours is necessary for extra help. Definitely a difficult class, but if you put the work in, you'll come out a much better writer and student. If you want a challenge, take his class.

Dr. Morse taught me the right way of writing essays which nobody ever did. Best English class by far. But he is a very tough grader, no electronics allowed too. I would take him again, but I do NOT recommend him to others because his class is so tough. If you take him, make sure to do ALL papers and always ask help during office hours.

Professor Morse is strict, but his rules are clear and fair. He expects everyone's best effort, but he is available to help outside of class if you need it.. His assignments force you to think. I think the negative reviews here are from people who procrastinated and did not put the work in. Take the class seriously and you will benefit from it.

The readings were all from minority writers, which was fun. The paper topics were interesting. The best part was the class discussions, where everyone was encouraged to participate. This professor does expect you to work but he is also there to help you do well. I recommend the class.

Professor Morse makes the class fun and comfortable so people speak up willingly in discussion. He has high standards for grading, but he will walk you through what you need to do to improve. He really gives feedback on papers so that you can improve your writing. He is also understanding when real problems come up in your life.

Professor Morse's class really helps you to improve your writing. He gives a lot of feedback on essays and is always available for conferences to go over what you need to do to improve. Some class meetings involve lecture, but most are discussions that are open and interesting. He really does all he can to help each student do well.

Dr. Morse's class was great. He does require books but tries to keep them cheap, and at least you do really use them. His assignments are interesting and he is always available to help with essays. He does have rules on attendance and electronics but they are not unreasonable. Great class overall.

This class was a lot of fun. The workload was not too heavy, and we had great class discussions. We only had to write two papers and Dr. Morse was always available to help improve them. He wants his students to do well and is very available. I would recommend this class,

Professor Morse's class was interesting and useful. He engages the students and gives great feedbaxk on essays. The class was a faie amount of wqork but not too bad. I would definitely take him again.

This class was great. The readings were interesting and the discussions were excellent. Dr. Morse was very clear and really helpful with the papers. There was a fair amount of reading but nothing unmanageable, I learned a lot and would recommend the class.

Professor Morse is detailed and a little demanding, but he is always available to help you do your best in the class. The class is really interesting, with great readings and discussions. If you want to learn to write better, i definitely recommend this professor's classes.

People claim that Dr. Morse is a hard grader, but if you just do the work and pay attention, his course is not that difficult. He does have high standards but he is very available to give help and gives good feedback. He will make you a better writer. I would definitely take him again.

English 2 was an interesting and useful class. I got to read things by a lot of writers I would not otherwise know about, and the professor helped me improve my writing greatly. Class discussions were fun, with a lot of exchange of ideas. The reading load was not very heavy. I would take the class again.

Dr. Morse is a professor you should take only if you truly care about your academics. His expectations are high but fair, and you will grow as a writer in his class if you put in the work. He's dedicated, passionate, and even wrote the textbook himself. You can tell he genuinely wants his students to succeed.

Dr. Morse is not easy, but he is always available to help. If you go to him for input, your graxes will be fine. I learned a lot in this class, and I would definitely take him again.

Dr. Morse's English 2 class was fun and I learned a lot. He uses writers from a lot of different backgrounds, so you learn about cultures as well as literature. He is not an easy grader, but his grading is fair, and he is always available to help you do better. He really cares about his students. I would definitely take his class again.

This class was so much fun. The readings are interesting and diverse, and Dr. Morse made it easy for everyone to participate and exchange ideas without pressure. His reputation as a hard grader is overblown: go to him for help and he will make sure you learn how to do a paper well. I learned a lot in this class and would love to take it again.

Dr. Morse's class was fun. The writings are all by minority writers, and the class discussions were great. He has high standards for writing but he is always willing to help you reach those standards. Just work with him and you will do well.

I loved this class. The professor is detailed and accessible, and he really wants to help everyone write better. I would take him again for any class.
