AWESOME Professor.
Great teacher, makes his lectures interesting. You want to attend to see what he talks about next. Does alot to help his students.
he is a very good teacher, very funny, you will have fun in all his classes.
Best prof I ever took.
Makes boring geography fun!!!
He's funny. You'll laugh. Alot of memorization work for geo. His reviews are good. He gives you a question and tells you what page you can find it in the book. Again memorization.
All he did was make jokes, and he enjoyed tricking us, teachers, should enjoy helping not confusing students.
No idea why students rate this guy high. He is gross and offensive in class. I finally dropped just because I could not take another day of it. Sad thing is that he would probably be a good teacher if he didn't think he had to be so gross.
Lots of laughs while learning GEO...GREAT teacher. Knows how to get students involved.

Great professor, yes
Very good, I took him 2 years ago and what i learned has still been useful to be, I remember his stuff too. Yes he makes jokes, anyone who gets offened, obviously had no sense of humor or was slacking off in class. He tells u whats on tests extra credit.
I really enjoyed this class. He makes learning about history fun and interesting by putting in lots of jokes! Lectures off of his tests so take lots of notes.
Dr. Morrison is all duh????? I feel 10% dumber than I started the class. I learned nothing. I you want to do nothing and vegetate then this teacher is great. Learn bias cliche and spend a buch of money of his colleages books.
Dr. M is awesome, you will not regret taking his class. One of the best professors I think I'll ever have. He's so animated and his lectures come to life, you sometimes forget to write some of the stuff down, bring a recorder to class.
He is Mr. Ego. If you can stand all the stories about himself he is an easy grade. you just have to study the maps. Why go to class?
Hard to see maps around his ego. So self absorbed I didn't even need to buy book. Did everything in class but take it out and measure it in front of girls. His cheap toupe kept me awake in class.
Best black woman professor that is really a big white man that I have ever taken. Very funny, class is easy as long as you do your work. Buy the grren book and study the maps.
No Comments
very funny
Watch out for this guy. He teaches the class like it is survivor. You vote as a class what essay makes it on the test. You can easily get screwed if a student votes against the majority. I went into the final with an A..and left with a D.DONT TAKE HIM
he is damn rich and flirt!
You spell his name E-G-O. If he were just half as good as he says he is, he would be ok. At least it is an easy grade. I really don't care about his sex life, though.
he is so stuck on himself but doesnt really know anything

Don't take this guy for geography. I think he lectured more on life lessons than anything else. He hates the subject so he doesn't really teach it. And his ego is suffocates everyone in the room. I used to like geography, until I took his class.
I have always liked Geography and found the class fun and interesting. I have never had a professor like Mr. Morrison. A little different.
This guy gives you the illusion he is easy but, But at the end you get screwed.

Morrison does not just teach history, he teaches life. The class is stimulating and entertaining. It was a hard class, and I learned alot. For those who want to work and think, you are in the right place. He gives good reviews; do your research and you will do well
Best teacher ive ever had. I am in my 2nd class with Dr. DEN and makes school fun. On the first day of class he tells the class 60% will drop. Hes right cuz they are lazy and dont try. Any effort wont get u anything less than a B. May not like it but knows the subject DAMN well!! Way to go DR DEN.
Some think he's very entertaining. I DON'T LIKE HIM AT ALL! Never shows up to class. Tells you word by word what he wants you to write in the exam. Tests are EASY still most people fail cause he tells you to be lazy. I wouldn't take him again.
Dr. Morrison makes class very fun. His tests are fairly easy if you study, but that is only when he lectures good. On some tests he expects you to find the answers yourself which can sometimes be hard considering there are 6-7 chapters in every test that have to be covered. But,Overall his good.
Everyone says this class is hard. Yeah if you don't study. He gives you everything you need to know for each test and map quiz, all you need to do is study. He makes the class fun as far as his jokes go. But as a whole I really didn't learn that much, just capitals and countries.
Dr. Morrison is the by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. He actually makes history/geography fun to learn. If you want to enjoy history/geography take Dr. Morrison.
Morrison is a way easy teacher. had him for a Spring mini, for 5 hours, 4 days a week and I only fell asleep once. He tells great stories and is kind of ****ed... he thinks hes a big player and all but hes not. Easy teacher... gotta work for the A, but a B is guaranteed is you attend class.
Horrible...very hard to understand and follow. Continuously goes off onto completely unrevelant subjects. Insures that almost noone will make an A in his class without bonus and curve points. Asks totally ridiculous questions about book illustrations and spelling. Makes students feel stupid by his comments. I hated this class.
Hey Dr. M, this is your dog track buddy JOE C. Hope to see you around!
I was dreading this class because I hated geography in high school. But Dr. M. is an incredible professor! I took this class 2 years ago and can still tell you about currents and climates and major world sites. Dr. M.'s teachings on life are priceless. Show up, do the work, & reap the benefits of this wonderful man's teachings. He's the BEST!
I love his classes. I have yet to make it through one of them :), but I continue to enroll every semester just to enjoy the lectures. He is THE most down to earth, no bull@#%* professor I have experienced - at U of H or San Jac.
This guy is a good teacher... real fun guy to have
Very disrespectful to others.Easily insults others because he doesn't think about what he his saying.
Kewl.....
I have taken him for all of my histories and geographies.. if you do exactly what he asks you will get an A. It helps if you are a triva buff, too(tends to impress him). He is only hard if you dont to the work. and god D**@it! morrison, the battleship arizona is PENNSYLVANNIA CLASS!!! BTW there is a GOOD reason why his class fill up quick
He is very funny. If you pay attention and put forth a little effort an A is easy to get.
It doesn't get any easier! Pay attention in lecture and read up on the events he tells you to, do the extra credit for the exams & and an A is possible. If your lazy & don't want to read the book, you'll have a problem.
Very difficult to get an A, even with extra credit. A lot of the test questions you have to find on your own in the textbook. You need to buy extra books (over 50 bucks). Wastes a lot of time talking about himself. Sarcastically talks a lot about students offering to have sex with him.
very difficult and obscure questions; however, lecture was entertaining. once you get past the "it's all about me" his knowledge of history and events is extensive. would take him again.
well, he is entertaining and knowledgable, but a bit self-absorbed and a bit of a donkey-butt. I feel like I have been well prepared for "higher learning" lectures.
He is great. He tells you stories about History like he was there to actually see all of it happning. Take him--if you pay attention you will do well.
difficult. hard to follow. very patient and willing to answer questions. do the extra credit, including the book report. take notes, get in a study group. ask questions - don't assume anything. he loves to teach - and not always what's on the agenda...sometimes it's 'life lessons'.

Take him for History. You wont regret it. He holds your interest during his lectures, therefor the information he teaches sticks.
OMG!!!!! If you fail this class you have SERIOUS problems. Super easy and Fun! Love his style. He really enjoys his classes and you can make an A if you come dto every class and study before the test. I hate history but made an A in both hist 1and2. Just write your reviews and you will do great!! LOVE HIM!
Very helpful he will go the extra mile for you. All you have to do is listen and take notes. If it is important he will say it 2 -3 times.
He's a really hillarious teacher, but dresses very nice, kinda like the Godfather style. The bell curve I never understood it and the book report was boring not a bit interesting to stay awake! Somewhat easy & hard, but that just depends on you if you study and do the actual work.
Participate in class, go for all the extra credit that you can get because that one point you could have gotten and didn't get could possible hurt your grade down the road. Please never miss a lecture that he gives, that is the information in helping you pass his test. He will keep you laughing along with good information to carry on in the future.
He is wonderful, he will go out of his way to help you. Make sure you never miss a lecture. He will keep you laughing, it is not a boring moment. Please take a class with him you will not regret it, you will get a lot of important information that will help you. He's excellent
Dr. Morrison is an entertaining guy, whose lectures are can't miss not only for the material,but also for the laughs. He has to be one of the most entertaining people I have ever met. He is also student friendly and he will help you pass and do well in his class. I would him recommend to take for Geo. or History.
Prof. Morrison is really funny and helpful. He gives alottt of Extra credit so even if u do bad in exams the extra credit will help. He also gives map quizzes which help a lot and if u do bad in those u still have a map quiz make up day. TOTALLY RECOMMEND HIM...HES AWESOME TEACHER. I took him for 1301 and 1303
DUDE THIS IS THE BEST DAMN PROF ALIVE!!!!!!!!!! TAKE HIS CLASS PAY ATTENTION AND YOU WILL PASS WITH NO PROB..........AND BE FAST HE RETIRES IN JANUARY 2009!!! HE DOESNT BULL**** AT ALL, IF YOUR A SINGLE PARENT HE WILL GIVE YOU FREE BOOKS AND WILL PAY YOUR TUITION.......THIS GUY IS A BIG MILLIONARE!!!!....HE WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO GET RICH AS ****!!
took him for the mini.. real nice guy.. sometimes gets offtrack, but just tell him.. he wont mind... Just listen to his funny stories and he wil love you... He is very willing to help students out. I went out of town and i still got a b in the class... DO THE READER HOMEWORK.. ITS EASY EXTRA POINTS! TAKE HIM.. HE'S GREAT
HE IS A PRETTY KOOL GUY...YEA HE GETS OFF THE SUBJECT MOST OF THE TIME, AND START TALKING ABOUT HIS LIFE ...BUT ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS STUDY, ATTEND CLASS, AND PAY ATTENTION..AND YOULL PASS. LETS JUST SAY HE IS A VERY UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL.
Find out his nickname, if you do, he will do anything for you, he is highly secretive about that name but not his personal life. Good teacher, wears suits, impress him with trivia, make him laugh also ,it helps. Teaches the class like not other teacher, best at ti, shame he is retiring...
loved his class!!! i was in his last class before he retired. best professor i've ever had in college. we'll miss you dennis!!!
I look him during the summer, he was a great teacher, makes a lot of crude jokes, everything that comes from his mouth is a crude joke, he has a nickname for everyone, he won't call you by your name but the name he chooses. His stories are funny, to get an A, get a study group. The book is not needed. Just attend and listen to his "lecture"
This guy is horrible. He is white and hates being white. I am scared this guy is allowed in general society.
The best professor I have ever had. I mean, he does get off track, but he knows what he is talking about and is quite passionate about being a teacher. He is also understanding what it is like being a night student. I would recommend him to anyone.
i love this class, so easy and so fun. but if get offended easily this is not the class for you.
Very straight forward!!!!
Absolutely amazing! I really enjoy this class. Hurry and take him because he is retiring soon. Best teacher I've had in years!!
Favorite class!
Absolutely amazing! I really enjoy this class. Hurry and take him because he is retiring soon. Best teacher I've had in years!! Favorite class :)
He was a good professor but he totally gets off track a lot. He has a LOT of stories and he likes to share. Only problem is he is always telling stories we don't always know what to study and write down. But even if you bomb the tests, you can pass the class! Extra Credit will help you a lot!! And don't take him if you're easily offended!
He is the coolest teacher ever <3
Pretty comical guy.Tends to get off subject a bit,otherwise he's pretty cool. Loves to help students out. Tests are hard as crap, make sure you study and never miss one of his classes. Find out his nickname and he will do anything. Smart thing to do is find one of his previous students to get help with tests.
I never liked history before this class. He really makes me interested in listening because he always makes it into a story rather then dates and times. I really hope he stays for the fall I don't know what I am going to do if I get a boring teacher!!! Please STAY FOR THE FALL,PLEASE!!!
Dis teach here is throwed dan a mutha!! Such an interesting guy and SUPER funny! :) if you love to laugh and learn then he is the guy to get! F.Y.I. if you have no sense of humor then dont take him!
Awesome teacher. Funny and smart.
This teacher is great! The tests are pretty hard, but you'll pass if you attend his lectures and if you actually take the time to study. He is hilarious. I use to look forward to going to his class because I knew I would laugh. Wished every teacher was like Dr. M.
entertaining class but not as easy as he seams... don't take if your over 22
Dr morrison is really nice and kind of funny. BUT his tests arent easy. If you want an A try another teacher. I made my first C ever in his class. He is one of th few teachers there for his students and doesnt try to screw you over just isnt THAT easy... I liked him buuuut I need an A.
he,s the coolest teacher out there. he knows the true world, and by so understands what students go throu. his leachers are the best part. will give you rew and all you do is study that. what more do you need?
Get him. Made of awesomesauce; he'll do anything in his powers to get you to pass. He's "not there to fail you, goddang!" Extra credit everywhere. Study groups recommended for exams. Awe at his fancy threads and snazzy shoes (probably has more money than your mother ever will). Nicknames galore. Speaking of ask him about his (hint: it's not Pookie)
I DO NOT recommend at all. his jokes are rude and HE said that the highest grade you can make is a C. it sucks im withdrwaling 2morrow...
I agree w the last post. The first thing I did when I walked out of class of drop him. It was actually painful to listen to his jokes for 3 hours. I'm sorry but I do not recommend him.
Dr. Morrison DID NOT say that the highest grade you could make was a C.He said that all you needed was a C to move on from the class and you shouldn't beat yourself up if you ended up with one. He also stressed that his class would not be difficult AT ALL and that he provides plenty of opportunity for extra credit.Seems like a great "real" teacher.
ok... this class is for teens who still laugh at pe*is and vag*na jokes. even though he's funny, he's not very respectful, if ur a girl, u can get offended. but.. he curves the grades and u pass like that, also he gives extra credit.
Before u take his class remember this if u can't take a joke don't take him, if u don't have a sense of humor don't take him but overall he is a awesome teacher. He cares about the students and makes the class interesting and fun.To those who think he doesnt want to be white....get a life lol
he's a cool techer, really rich and funny. does any1 know his nickname?
he likes to joke around a lot...hes a lot of fun so if you can't take a joke or are **** don't take him. its meaningless jokes but theres a lot of them.
Got off subject a lot, too much info about his personal life, cursed a lot, and the review for the test was very broad so it was not very helpful on the test.
ok.. i'll save you some money, if ur interested in his biography, take his class, if u don't want to waste ur time, do not take him. his class is completely useless, he made us stay until 9:30 pm listening to his stupid jokes and braging on how rich he is. oh, and u have to buy another book along with the one that is actually required for hist1301
This guy is like an escaped mental patient. I like him. He also reminds me of me, who is also an escaped mental patient.
There is your chile Mr Morrison!
the best ever
Easy Class, he likes to crack a ton of jokes, other than that he gives you a lot of help and hints toward a lot of the answers. Not always going to be an easy a if you dont study though. I Never studied for any of the test and came out with a b so its pretty easy.
If you're a history major or perhaps really wanting to learn about history DON'T TAKE THIS PROF but if you're just taking this class for core credit and don't really care then definitely take this guy. Class was so easy. I never studied and some how made a B. He does go off topic a lot though and does tell nasty jokes and curses.
He is a fair person! very understanding and knows what he is talking about. Yes he goes off-topic sometimes but come on, who would rather listen to a history lecture for 3 hours. His text reviews are good and if you study you will get an A! alot of help from this guy, he will help you out however he can!
Awesome Instructor! Explains History like it's a story, not a bunch of facts and dates and crap. Gives reviews of tests, lecture usually covers more than half the test. Extensive knowledge of subject, he is not for the faint of heart. I've taken him twice, but I still don't know his nickname...LOL!
Made the course very interesting, taught what you won't learn in most classrooms. Doesnt focus on dates, but rather course content and applies relevant parts of history that are interesting.
Absolutely wonderful! He is by far one of the funniest professors at San Jac. I will take him for every class I can. And he is really a good guy he offers help to those that ask for it. His class was a lot of fun and you learn more than what's in your text book. But if you don't have a sense of humor don't bother! A+ teacher!!
i'll be taking him for the mini-mester in the summer. he's a great prof.
One of the FUNNIEST teachers i've taken but don't take him if you can't take a joke. Plus, I accidentally found out his nickname, which very FEW students have discovered
CUTEST PROFESSOR EVER!
ENCOURAGES INTERACTIVE LEARNING. FABULOUS PROFESSOR.
