This woman SUCKS!!!! She can't teach for anything! She teaches so fast that you can't even learn!!! I like science but this woman makes me hate it! Teachers like her make not want to go to school!!! if you like science or better yet have to take this class whatever you do, DO NOT TAKE HER!!!
If you want to pass use her lectures. If you want to make an A or a B, USE THE TEXTBOOK AND THE WEBSITE!!! She is very confusing and you will not remember anything she teaches. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS TEACHER IF HAVE A SCIENCE BASED MAJOR!!!! You will not have an understanding of what she's teaching, which is important for Med/den/pharm school.
It covers a lot of material. You should read and study before class. Very helpful instructor but she talks too fast sometimes. Therefore, try not to fall asleep during class. Exams are pretty fair but require a lot of memorization. I recommend this teacher if you are good student.
Very good instructor. She gives plenty of opportunity for extra credit and her multiple choice exams are very fair. As long as you study hard and stay current you can get an A.
Both of my parents are teachers and my brother is a teacher, needless to say she is not the greatest. I do not deny her brilliance, but that doesn't constitute a good teacher. She is very unclear, doesn't give much instruction, and speaks really fast whether you get the material or not. I wish I took another teacher.
I am an education major. I am in no way good at science and when I did not understand something she would get a little snippy with me. She did try to help but she is just way too smart in her field to really explain or elaborate. She talks entirely way too fast. She is very sweet but her class is hard if you do not have a solid history of biology.
She is very hard teacher and she talks very fast. She does give extra credit;however, she makes you sign a contract and if you don't complete the assignment she takes off points. SHE STRESS ME OUT SO BAD. I'm usually am an all A student; however I found her class very hard.Please think before you take her class, she very difficult.
She is a great teacher. She may not be the easiest, but her tests are multiple choice and she has extra credit questions on her tests plus an extra credit paper, which all you have to do is make interesting and you get an A. She may talk fast, but there is a lot of material. She is a good teacher, so give her a chance.
This teacher is absolutely horrible, I don't recommend her at all! She has a big attitude problem, take anyone else - just not her.
If you don't understand biology, then i would not recommend this teacher. Expects you to already know the course. I'd recommend someone else for the lecture but she isn't bad in Bio Lab. Wouldnt bother getting a book either.
No Comments
She was a good teacher. She gets annoyed when people don't come to class and then want to spend class time going over the material again, but she was nice. She tells you what's on the tests and there is always extra credit, plus an extra credit paper you can do to get a lot of points. If you come to class, you'll do fine.
NOT THE EASIEST BUT YOU CAN GET AN A IF YOU TRY. SHE CURVES TESTS AND YOU CAN DO EXTRA CREDIT ON ALL OF THEM. THERE'S A LOT OF STUDYING BUT IF YOU KEEP UP, YOU'LL BE FINE.
Excellent teacher! Don't miss class, if you have a question she'll stop everything to answer you as many times as you raise your hand. Don't bother with the book her lectures and notes are plenty. This is a must study course there is a ton of information. Always extra credit and she curves the tests. She loves what she does and it shows!
I took her for anatomy lab and she was amazing! I only wish I'd had her the first time I took it! Her notes were very complete and she was clear about what was important for each lab. You will be there the whole time each week, but she will spend every minute answering your questions and helping you.
Good teacher, lots of studying. She is a Hardcore Liberal. Very opinionated but not interested in your opinions. If you don't agree with her she gets made. Just had a chapter where she spent lots of time bashing conservatives. This pisses me off. Politics don't belong in an Environmental Science class. But the class was overall ok if you study.
DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!!! AWFUL!!! HORRIBLE!! CRAP! Just Say No.
she assigns a lot of work but this is college what do u expect? i learned a lot and she was really helpful when i went to her office. she really will spend any time u need to help u pass
I had her for lecture and lab and really liked her. She tries really hard to make things interesting even though we're not science majors, and she made me think a lot. I have to study hard but I think I'll get an A.
Teacher rebuttal: long papers were given early oct and not due till the end of term, not true. 1st was due in nov, 2nd, a research paper about beetles we were studying in the class and we didn't collect the last bit of data until there was only a week to complete the paper along with a 3rd paper and studying for the 3rd exam.
do not take her
Teaches class as though it is an upper level research course. In the past two weeks, three papers have been due. Not to mention a test last week and the final next week. Just a little ridiculous. I was very excited about ENVS before, but she has made it a total drag. There MUST be a better professor for this class. Avoid if you can!
loved the class
Professor nice, tests are hard. Don't mess with her on due dates!
Not a good professor. Overwhelming amount of papers due at end of semester, as if this is the only class we are taking. Doesn't want to hear anyone else's opinion. This site for example, if you give her a bad rating, she reports it, that's why there are so many under review. Avoid this professor.
Dr. Morrey gives many large assignments all due around the same time. However, she makes note taking very simple.
65% of our class got As and Bs--how bad can she be???
Dr Morrey really knows what she is doing! She was always willing to answer questions and was pretty good about e-mail even on weekends. Her powerpoints and outlines for each chapter are all up on her website. She lets you keep all your old tests. Give her a chance--she really was great!
I am not a science person but I really liked this class. I did OK in the class even though I didn't do well on the tests because there are a lot of points that don't come from the tests and a lot of extra credit assignments. The lab was less fun but still not bad, just annoying.
She is an extremely hard teacher and is very sarcastic. Do not take her unless you want to devote 200 hrs a week studying. does not curve and does not explain well. hyper
She is hard. And lets student talk about non sense instead of staying on topic! So at the end of semester she has to cram in material. test are tricky and hard. Have to study like 24/7!! TOO hard you can find better professor with less stress!! And she doesn't curve and test are HARD once again!!
She followed the syllabus to a T; there was a paper due, but she will GLADLY review your paper for you before you turn it in and make suggestions on how to improve the paper! Very open and easy to communicate with, answers all questions and was extremely helpful in LAB
I had her for BIOL 1611L. She wasn't my favorite teacher but she's nice and I got an A. You have to do one lab report and she is really strict on it so make sure you take it to her ahead of time so she can check it. You have to do prelab quizzes and she goes over the material of the day before class. She's pretty good, not the best, not the worst.
Her tests are no joke they are hard but she adds points if most of the class gets things wrong. She will meet with you for as long as you need to understand the material. If you want to actually learn A&P take her class she is awesome!
didn't use the texbook and probably should have i agree with other comments she is hard but will spend sooo much time helping you if she is there she will help you we did get off the topic a lot but we learned a lot also dr. m thank you!
This is the type of class where the student must take responsibility for the grade. You cannot learn anatomy from just lecture class. This much should be common sense. Negative criticism seems to be given by bad students. Your fate was sealed before you stepped foot into the class. Dr. Morrey did a great job, I learned a lot.
She is the worst teacher! Please and please dont take her class. There are better professor out there. She almost crash my GPA. If you love your GPA dont attempt her class
I don't know why people are saying she is not helpful. She has a million office hours and meets with you anytime you want if you can't come then. People need to be more responsible for themselves and stop hating on Dr. Morrey. She teaches in the dental hygiene department and knows what they want--if you want to learn that level, take her class!
Dr. Morrey is a great teacher. I must say it is very unfair to rate a teacher based on the grade you recieved. This course isn't meant to be easy. This isn't high school. No one has time to babysit. You have to study a lot to get a good understanding of the material. She is extremely helpful and cares about her students. Take her class!!
I think she was unnecesarily mean and sarcastic. Her lab was unnecasarily difficult, i wonder what her lecture was like especially since she was never clear in her teachings.Please don't take her class if you care about your GPA and money.
Her first day in the lab, she was making stupid mistakes and she was apologetic saying that this thus not usually happen until the third week of class.I really don,t blame her much if her life ambition is to teach at GPC, i guess her goal is to pevent as many students as she can from doing better than her.
smart person, and I believe that gets in the way with her social skills. Overall good teacher. She is not easy (this is college bio not high school bio) and so sometimes you will feel overworked. She helps you if you look for her and shes usually curves IF she feels people studied. Without reading the book, your pretty much doomed.
Very nice teacher. Excellent slide show. She expects you to learn for yourself. She knows a lot too. Her slideshow is very helpful. If you are pre-med major, take her and learn as much as you can.
Fabulous professor. She knows this subject and it shows in her excitement. I actually looked forward to this class every day. Even better is that she owns what she doesn't know, will look it up and get back to you with an answer. Amazingly good teacher. She isn't easy, she makes you think but if you do you will make an A. Highly recommended!!
Not a good teacher. She speaks entirely too fast and has no patience. What her obsession is with essay questions i'll never know; just not necessary in my opinion. The tests do not reflect a lot of material covered in class. Use the website she gives; it's the ONLY thing that helped me. Very difficult teacher!
Really enjoyed this class. She covers all the material in the lecture and is happy to answer all questions. If she doesn't know, she'll look it up rather than b.s. her way through it. Lots of xtra credit. If you can't pull a B out of this class you shouldn't be in college.
No complaints. Good teacher. Nice. Very Helpful. Lots of power points which are very helpful to study. Enthusiastic. If u are taking anatomy, definetly take professor Morrey. I do not see how anyone can give her any bad ratings, must be bad students.
Definitely take prof. Morrey for Biology. She knows the subject well and you can tell she really enjoys it. I think she likes to see her students do well. She is very responsive to her students. She explains things very well and if you don't understand she will personally help you out during office hours. She is genuinely a nice lady.
Horrible professor! Asked the class several times if anyone had questions but periodically refused to answer ?'s me and a friend asked based on her mood (I did not get my $ worth). Horrendous social skills (rude when absolutely unnecessary). Passionate about bio but hardcore about not cutting anyone any slack. Stay away! Coming from an A/B student.
STAY AWAY FROM HER! WORST PROFESSOR AT GPC!SHES BEYOND DIFFICULT.COMING FROM A STRAIGHT A STUDENT. SHE MESSED UP MY GPA.
This prof is ridiculous. Do not take for lab unless you love Biology. We only had half a week to write lab reports and grading was extreme. Speaks too fast and is not clear. Tests do not accurately reflect material learned. She only asked about the small details that were not even discussed thoroughly. There has to be better Prof out there.
This teacher is very very hardcore! I mean she is not very good at explaining things for good undertanding, and she grades really hard! I took an online class of hers and we only had 15 min to take a test. It was 10 questions, so thats only alittle over a minute to answer. So sucks for you if your computer is slow! Also if you ever e-mail about ext
I'm a straight A student and she killed my GPA. She has high standards that aren't conducive to a 1 credit hour class. Unless Biology is your major, do not attempt her class. Or if you're like me and are taking above a full load.
Raters are right when they say she isnt an easy teacher, she req. and crap load of work. but, she is a GOOD teacher. if you are diligent in your studies, the class shouldnt be "that" bad. she def. req. quite a bit of work though!
She is NOT an easy teacher. Her tests take a minute to get used to (she has 2 essay questions worth 15% each, but you can study them before the test). Treats everyone like a Bio major but she DOES know what shes talking about. VERY strict. Miss an assignment and you're boned. But she is a good teacher. Take her if you don't have a full workload.
Her lab class is unnecessarily hard. She gives few options for lab reports compared to others. Her grading is so unethical, will take massive points off for insignificant mistakes. She doesn't really try to meet you half way when you're going the extra mile, and will most likely kick you to the curb and then fail you.
has powerpoints but flies through them like if you know everythin already, gives u 5 essay ?'s prior to the test but only chooses 2, & her tests r hard w/ ?'s that u wouldnt expect. her studyguides r worthless, they almost have nothing to do w/ her tests. she hates ppl bein late & always starts class earlier, so b on time! shes smart but cant teach
Where do I start? She is a very smart woman and she really knows her stuff, but she cannot teach. She cannot get the lesson across to anyone except herself. Her tests are unnecessarily difficult for no reason and it doesnt matter how hard you study. Stay away if you want to keep a high GPA
she is not a high school teacher. no curves. if you master the material you will get an A, if you don't understand it you will get a C or worse. she is very smart and will help with any questions. if you put the effort in you'll do good. gpc students seem to rate professors low because they aren't easy A's, which is unfortunate.
She is an excellent lab teacher. She wants her students to excel, and it shows in how helpful she is. I am extremely glad i took her, she was an amazing teacher. She is very knowledgeable, and offers opportunities to have essays turned in early for editing, which is amazing. You will have to work, but an A is attainable!
Do not take this teacher! She treats A&P1 as if we are med students!! Essays are mainly clinical based! And she never goes over them prior to the test! Nor will she! Every test has a potential of 5 essays with 2-4 parts and she picks which 2, the final has a potential of 22 essays and she picks 5 plus the entire book on the Final!! Run Away!!
Terrible teacher! Very shallow lectures that do not adequately cover the material you will be tested on. Condescending and rude at times to students who ask questions, yet nice to others. She may be factually smart, but she isn't a good at getting back to the basics and teaching the real essence of her subject.
Maybe she is a tough professor and I do agree that it is hard to get an A, but a B IS REALLY easy to get according to the way how she grades. She does give extra points (quizzes) for each test. The essays are not that hard because they are basically what you are learning. You really need to study that is for sure.
Not nearly as hard as some people make her out to be. She gives plenty of opportunity for extra credit. You will have to actually learn the material, but isn't that the point?
She was wonderful. I only had her for lab so I am not sure what she is like for lecture, but I really enjoyed the lectures in lab. She was very clear and helpful. She allows you to send your lab reports ahead of time so she can review and give you pointers on how to make the report better. She is a cool teacher and I would recommend taking her.
She is a great teacher! Yes, she is hard but that's because she truly wants you to learn instead of just memorizing stuff. I'm taking a different teacher for 2112 and I think I was spoiled in her class! I miss the way she actually taught the material. The teach I have now is nothing compared to Dr. Morrey, so appreciate her while you can. :)
I have taken physics 1 and 2, Calculus 1 and 2, Chem 1 and 2 an this is the hardest class I've taken. Wants you to understand all the material instead of just memorizing. Tests comprised of 1/2 multiple choice and the other half was essay and fill in the blank with phrases. Started with about 30 people, at the end there were 8 people left.
People on here have said that she's not that bad for 1611 but for 2107 she is extremely hard. Take if you plan on using this stuff for the future but this class will hurt your gpa.
This was the hardest class I have ever taken and after getting an A in Organic Chem 2, I think that says alot. This should be an entry level BIO course but was taught like a graduate program. With no studyguides and an immense amount of material covered, this was almost an impossible task.Take another professor if possible.No people skills.
I took her online; Summer 2011. Easy assignments(discussion and homework) but VERY HARD tests. NO extra credit opportunity and do not care if you're on the border of failing and passing. I didn't withdraw ONLY because I'm acing my Bio 1611Lab class. This is the first class I've ever failed in history (since pre-k to college), honestly.
She is probably the toughest professor I have had yet. She know's her stuff and is very willing to help explain things during labs. She also gave the opportunity to proof read reports before turning them in which was nice. Word to the wise... don't expect a cake walk. She demands a huge amount of work. You must work hard to pass her class.
Yes, she is a hard teacher, but her classes are hard subjects. If you are lazy and want an easy A, stay away, but if you actually want to learn something you should take her.
Dr. Morrey actually cares about what she teaches and you don't see a lot of that now. Yes, there is a lot of work outside of the classroom, but it's extremely helpful and beneficial to your understanding of the course material. She is very focused, but also very willing to help you if you just ask! Highly recommended...especially for science majors
Unfortunately, the material taught is extremely dense. Dr. Morrey is willing to do and/or help students at all times. Probably one of the most "available" professors I have ever had. Unfortunately, tests are hard and ensure that you not only memorize the material, but actually understand it. Definitely not a cake walk, but a B is easily attainable
She is hard! Had her for lab and lecture. Grades papers harder than any prof I've ever had. I always have A papers but with her they are barely Cs.
Excellent Professor!!! She knows her stuff and is excited about Cell biology. The class isn't easy, you have to really study hard to do well in this class, but she gives you all the tools to do well. Highly recommend.
If you want a spoon fed "A" and have no desire to learn biology then DON'T take her class. If you want to EARN your grade, LEARN biology, and have a science based major then I would highly recommend her. I'm a straight "A" student and probably got a "B" in her class, but I learned more in this semester than all others combined. TAKE INITIATIVE!!!
First of all, Bio is a hard subject. There are a lot to memorize. This is the subject that you can't just slack off and expect to get an A. Dr. Morrey is a great teacher. She gives out Powerpoint notes which I love. Really, focus on what she taught in class, do your HW, and do what she asks you to do. You will be fine!
Dr. Morrey is an extremely hard professor. She teaches fairly well, but she generally expects you to answer her tests perfectly, regardless whether you understand the concept or not, so be prepared for intense memorization. She isn't the most helpful teacher, as even when you ask her questions she expects you to do much of the searching on your own
She not so bad but her tests are ridiculous. She doesn't test your understanding, but she just wants you to memorize every single thing. Made a B plus but an A is attainable if you give all your time.
1st of all biology is not an easy class with that said Dr. Morrey is a tough professor. But the failure or success of her students depends on the effort and work they put in the class. She gives out helpful resources such as powerpoints and STUDYGUIDES for each unit! If you do your part you should do well. But be warned she does not curve!
Although a pleasant person, she is VERY VERY VERY VERY HARD. The most unreasonable teacher i have ever had, expects you to memorize the book verbatim, talks about not being easy all the time as if its some type of honor badge, and her tests are to prove what you do not know instead of what u do know. I passed but ever again. you have been WARNED.
She is obsessed with proving to us that she cares about our education than we do. She insults us in her presumption that we don't care abt learning but she is going to force us. why start with such a negative attitude about students??? and it goes downhill from there! unless u want to be discouraged and completely demotivated, STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!
she is good. I didn't put a lot of effort in her class and still made a decent grade. her test can be a bit tricky but overall with homework and class assignments you should be fine
She is nice and passionate about what she teaches, but I still do not like her. I spent much more time studying her class than I did for the 1161 lecture and still only got a B. Her quizzes are pretty hard because you do not get to have a lecture before taking them. If you only aim for 2-year degree and care about your GPA, avoid her.
I am a science major and I had taken many labs. She makes you to work 10 times more than you need to even practice for calc2. Don't take her because in my lab nobody got A. And she is proud of being such type of instructor.
Sucks! Her lab and lab reports are way harder than it needs to be. Very picky & doesn't care. Expects you to know what's important; what's important to me in the readings may not be important to her & may not even be on the test. Readings are all over the place. Grades so HARD, unnecessary project. Has study guides, questions on it are vague. SUCKS
Dr. Morrey speaks very fast which I don't like as English is my second language. Every time I asked her a question, she started with blaming me for not reading this and that. I had to rely on myself a lot to get good grade in her class. Her pre-lab quizzes are tough because it tested the information you haven't learned about. Don't take her!
Meh. The course would be okay if the readings weren't all over the place.
This was by far the hardest class I have ever taken. Her test are hard for no reason. She does give a study guide, however they are so vague. I really should have taken this class in the classroom. Avoid her at all cost!!!
Lots of assignment due in a short period of time. If you thinking about taking this instructor, don't do it in summer. There's a lot to be done in this class. I had to withdraw from it because i couldn't keep up with the work.
He's terrible , do not take her . People work hard in her class . She doesn't care about people's grade . Your midterm and final she basically tells you it's everything you have learned up to that day . Absolutely horrible . How can you give 48 on a lab report that you even checked yourself ?
Professor Morrey is enthusiastic about biology, however, she is a tough grader and her study guides are vague so prepare to do a lot of reading and visits to the learning center. She tries to help you but you feel as if you should have understood the concept before asking her for help. Which defeats the purpose of asking for help.
She is so unclear. Enthusiastic about the science, but she doesn't share that enthusiasm about teaching. She's snark at best. Guidelines for lab report and grading are ridiculous. If you care about your grade, avoid her. She highlights her manual and tells you to study that, no clear direction,you'll go crazy. Slow grader, not nice and lazy!
This class is test heavy with a TON of material to cover. No one knew what to study for the final with so much crammed into a summer semester. The tests covered more than just lecture slides and it was impossible to understand from the recorded lectures which just read off the power points. Would not recommend this online.
A nice teacher but very strict on how things should be written and done for class. Felt like more was expected out of the class that was only a basic course, not given good feedback to improve mistakes or wasn't explained well on how to improve.
Had to retake this class with a better prof and made an A+! When asked a question to be repeated she once replied with explaining the question BUT she ends with "I JUST said that" felt really stupid in that class, or at least she made me feel that way. She is however very knowledgeable in her field but lacks enthusiasm for proper teaching.
She is the worst Professor that I have until now. She doesnt give you a good feedback at all. Dont take this course with this professor. 2/10 she is really bad professor
I adore Dr. M; she posted weekly due date reminders, offered extra credit for every exam, and was always willing to help through text, email, video chat, you name it! The class itself did take organization, dedication to reading each textbook chapter, and hard work for an A. The tests were straightforward and fair; if you study, you will do well!
I would not take her again
