He is an awesome professor. He goes into depth about what he is talking about, and puts everything in terms we would understand. I definitely reccomend you take his class. All you have to do is read what he assigns and study your notes and go to class, and you'll get an easy A. ;)

Pro. Milton is a great teacher. He is very knowledgable about what he is teahing. If you show up and bit at least 20mins a week into studing his class, you will for sure get an easy "A"!!! I recommend him, he is nice.

Great professor. Highly recommended. Not a class for slackers

He is objective and helpful. You know what to expect on his exam and you earn a lot of knowledge in his course. Recommended

Extremely intelligence. His class is very informative and interesting. His personality can be intimidating. His humor is biting. However, it's all worth it.

Awesome professor.

Very condescending and intimidating. Pains him to listen to student's questions. Explains cases & concepts very clearly, but moves way to fast to take good notes. Voice recorder sorely needed. More astute students will catch the occassional factual error. But don't dare try to challenge him on it. Only for students with good memories & study habits

Easy class if your prepared to study. His final in my class was a 10 page essay. You don't need to do anything special, just memorize your notes and you will get an A.

Great professor. Dry humor, but hilarious in his own rite. Pretty much a walking encyclopedia. If you're willing to do work, this could be one of the best professors you'll ever have.

The best politics class I have ever takn. You learn more in one semester than you can ever imagine. Just do your work!

Great teacher.definitely one of the few good ones left.extremely informative, and its not that he doesnt like to listen to students, he just doesnt like to listen to the dumb ones!

Best professor ever! Fast talker so keep your hand in shape for taking notes, but you'll learn more from this guy than from anyone else in your life.

Extremely knowledgable in his field and a very fast talker. Be ready to take 10 to 15 pages of notes in an hour class. Dry but hilarious. Can be condescending for those who ask dumb questions.

Take Notes and will pass!!!!

Dr. Morton, Is by far the best teacher I have ever had. He knows more about what he teaches then there is to know. His classes are hard but well worth it, you will come out of his one class knowing and remembering more then you would if you combine 5 class

The guy is a walking encyclopedia. A genius. However, he is very conservative, does not seem to know how to smile, and could care less who you are, where your from, or even what your name is... But you do learn from him, it would just be nice to have a

This professor is the best teacher I have ever had. He's interesting and has a sense of humor, which makes class great. He is difficult, but I guarantee you he will inspire you and you will learn something, if not many things, in his class. He's an inspiration!

Morton's class rocks! I get up and go to every class, he has a lot of knowledge and makes you laugh. When he lectures, it's easy to understand him, which can be difficult because of the class itself.

An amazing teacher. Not personal, but he doesn't need to be. If you take down the notes, go to class, have a mild interest, and just study for 30 min. before the test you'll do fine.

Great Class, at first he may come off as dull, but hes a very good prof and as long as you take some notes and looking at them for a bit (30 mins)before the exam not a difficult class. Also brings you up to date on modern world issues. I Recommend.

Great teacher with an outstanding knowledge about politics. He knows what he is talking about, and made me to rethink about my major.

Great teacher with amazing knowledge. Clear and makes you see the world in a different perspective. Fair with his test. Study the material and never miss class.

fantastic professor. elitist prick, but in a good way. challenging and encouraging and simply one of my favourites. i've had him for a graduate seminar and an independent study. he saved my master's degree for me because the department is so frustrating.

Great teacher. Very helpful and informative. Relatively easy grader on exams. occasionally gives extra credit for showing up to class

By far one of my favorite teachers at FAU. If you come to class and read the book you will get an A. He is an amazing lecturer and i acually enjoyed going to his class. He wrote the text book so his lecture is based off of that and it is very easy to understand. He gives lots of chances for extra credit. I absoultely recommend him.

Dr. Morton is a knowledgeable professor. He knows what he's talking about and he know how to explain it so that you can understand. He tries to help students understand, encourages questions. written exams (fill in blanks and short response) and hand graded. Your final grade consists of only 3 tests and one 10 page research paper, so expect a B/B+

awesome teacher. very dry humor. interesting class i changed my major because of him. helps you understand politics, very helpful... just don't ask stupid questions. of course watching others ask them makes the class that much more entertaining.

Great Teacher. Very interesting class. Make sure to take notes for tests. Class does require some work, but it won't overload you.

I can honestly say that Dr. Morton is the BEST PROFESSOR AT FAU! Took International Law during the summer, which was a very intense course. I learned more in a 6 week class than I did in any 16 week class. Morton is Clear, Fair and knows how to stimulate you. His classes are not easy so expect to work hard, but you will learn a great deal in return

He is the most amazing professor I have ever taken. I have taken him for Intro to World Politics, Model UN, International Organization, and International Law. The hardest classes I ever took, but the BEST classes. he is not easy and seems intimidating, but he is more than willing to help if you ask, just don't ask in class! Take EXCELLANT notes.

He is a very smart teacher that makes the class interesting with his light humor. The class is hard though you MUST study inorder to pass the class. His tests are fill in the black but they are straight off the notes and he grades essays very lightly. The textbook is not needed in the class. Recommended if you put the time and effort into the class

Class was challenging-had to study Alot and UNDERSTAND the information. Morton wrote the book & makes subject very interesting. He's WILLING to help if u dont understand. I learned so much in this class and I feel very smart now that i took it! I would recommend this class to those interested in politics of all country's.

Amazing teacher! he's extremely intelligent and seems intimidating, but once you go talk to him he's very nice. he's sarcastic and funny and has a certain sense of confidence that makes him pretty hot. i definitely reccommend him!

His Int. Org class is demanding but not as hard as his Int. Law class, from the beginnig you realize that you can not b.s. IL. Oh and yeah he is that good. Every polsci major should take it.

THE BEST TEACHER AT FAU! I took his class with a friend of mine. Little did I know that he was an amazing, straight forward, and inspiring teacher. He is the reason I got interested in school again! I highly suggest anyone take any of his classes. He is very informative, and wrote the book for the class I was I took. I made sure I made it to class!

After taking every class he teaches, I can say he is without a doubt the best teacher I have ever had. His courses are demanding, but after one test you will know exactly what to expect from them all. I got an A in his classes by spending a couple solid hours studying before each exam. Put in an honest effort and you will learn and be glad you did.

Good professor! Go to his classes and study study!! You will do well if you do these things!

He is worth all of the hype. By far one of the most enlightened professors at FAU. He can be very boring and monotone if your not interested in his lectures. He is also very funny, if you are smart enough to get his jokes. Students who don't like him are normaly not the smart ones in class, but if you are interested in int'l politics he is the man.

Class very difficult yet very rewarding. At the start he warned students that the class was similar in difficulty to a law school class.

Wonderful professor, simple class as long as you showed up and took notes. Knowledgeable about the subject and willing to help clarify things if you contact him. Definitely one of the best professors I've ever had and I would take him again in a heartbeat.

This guy is my hero. If he ran for president I would seriously consider voting for him. He understands everything he teaches and even if he doesnt,(i doubt it) he sells it as if he was there witnessing it. He opened my eyes to world politics and even has a sense of humor. This is a great class to take but u gotta study a little or ull probably fail

I loved this class even though it was something so new and therefore challenging. You need to take notes and READ/SKIM the book because part of the exams are essays and it will help! Prof. Morton is amazing and knows so much. I didn't have trouble paying attention either. Just study hard and make sure you UNDERSTAND the concepts. Life changing.

Not a hard class at all, if you show up to class everyday he tells you whats on the tests and gives extra credit. He makes the class interesting and you learn alot about what is happening in the world. Take this class and show up you should get an A or B.

Best professor at FAU! You will learn more in his classes than ever before, but you have to be ready to work!

Dr. Moton is the best professor at FAU! He is funny, helpful, knowledgable, and best of all, not a hard ass. Granted, his tests are a bit difficult as he always has an essay on it, but if you go to class, take notes, and study for a few days beforehand, this professor is right for you!

Dr. Morton is an excellent teacher. Do not check attendance; it will be in your best interest to go to EVERY class meeting. taking him again!

By far the most intelligent professor at FAU. Morton is always prepared for class and available for office hours. He is a fantastic lecturer, & extremely informative, with a dry sense of humor. He is a very fair grader, and gives several opportunities for extra credit. Tests are multiple choice;final exam in essay form. Highly recommended.

I agree with what everyone has said! I'm about to start my fourth class with him. He is incredably interesting and smart! Yes, the note taking is intense and you do need to go to every class but it's one that i look forward to. He is super helpful and has a great, dry sense of humor! You'll love him if you are into the subject matter.

Good teacher and very intelligent. TA does all of the grading on assignments and extra credit. If you come to class and take the notes, you will do well.

Absolutely love this teacher, fabulous sense of humour and extremely eloquent lecturer. You will be fascinated by his experience in world politics.

Int'l Law was my absolute favorite class. Morton is a great professor and I would recommend that everyone take his classes.

Amazing teacher. One of the smartest men i've met. His lectures seem effortless and he has so much interesting information. great sense of humor. read the book and take notes! lots of notes but it's very interesting. DEF will be taking him again!

Morton is one of the best professors at FAU. His lectures are eloquent and effortless. He has an wonderfully dry sense of humor and knows everything about this field.

Took this fall 2010 and absolutely loved it! He is chock full of interesting and relevant information - makes you want to go out and tell someone what he taught you! Tells you exactly what will be on the test, no surprises. Enjoyed the brief writing assignments. You don't want to miss lecture. He gives out EC assignments when you show up! LOVED IT!

One of the most interesting people I have ever had the pleasure to listen too. That said his class is not exactly easy, and will require intense studying and reading. Attend all the courses and listen to the lectures and you should be fine (w/ notes). Scottish btw.

Morton is definetely an intelligent guy, A great teacher the class is definetely interesting, but is very hard. To do good the course will require a lot of studying, good note-taking, and occasional reading of the text. Morton does not do exam reviews which make things much harder, but he does give out lots of extra credit.

BRILLIANT professor. I never really had an interest in world politics until I took his class. Attendance is not mandatory but youll regret missing any information come test day. You need to study for exams and read over the book, he does pull questions from there. Best professor I had the priviledge to listen to.

This class took alot of work, and tons of studying is required in order to get an A. If you don't go to class you might as well not even sign up...even missing a day of notes can really hurt you. Professor Morton is absolutely brilliant and inspiring. You will learn to respect him and love him so much, even as hard as the class may be. I am going t

Dr.Morton is the finest professor I've had.(Including my time at NYU and UF) His knowledge is encyclopedic, he is funny, and incredibly interesting. This class is as tough as they come-if you don't care for legal jargon, move on. You will have endless notes and need to study at least 3 days for an exam.It is challenging but makes you want to work

He is a good teacher...he is funny also. His tests are hard because he does not do any study guides before it. Read the book and go to class or else you will miss out on important info. Not an easy class.

If you think you don't care about politics or the world, this man will change your mind. He is the most inspiring professor I will probably ever meet - his Model United Nations program is the best thing going for FAU. It made me an extraordinary student and person. I can't rave enough about him because he truly is the best! TAKE HIS CLASSES!

this dude was just on the news. now I want to take his lass. OSAMAS DEAD YO

Perhaps one of the most knowledgeable and insightful professors I've met at FAU. The man is relevant, and has an impressive background in the subjects he teaches. Int'l Law in the summer can be a little overwhelming but I'm still keeping an 'A' - If your up for a challenge take this prof at some point. As someone else mentioned, this class and professor is not for slackers.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Morton. I entered his Intro class w/o any knowledge or passion for political science. I've since taken every class he offers. He's now my mentor and the reason I changed my major to Poli Sci. His classes are intimidating at first but once you figure out how to study for them you can't go wrong.

There is no one better at FAU. The man's intelligence is remarkable and more importantly he is a kind man who actually cares about his students...which is rare. I've made many mistakes and Dr.Morton has been a mentor to me. Be prepared to work..his exams are no joke. If you are a serious person you will love him..if not - take an art class.

By far one of the best and most interesting teachers I've ever had. He is extremely clear and makes the subject intriguing without even trying. He has a dry sense of humor. His tests aren't too bad if you take good notes and study. I would recommend him to everyone!

Dr.Morton is such a good professor. He is definitely one of the most knowledgeable professors at FAU. Attendance is not mandatory but it's not an easy class so you should probably be there every class. Tests are not so bad if you study, he offers a lot of extra credit and the assignments are crazy easy.

By far the best.I can't add much to the comments bellow, I'd say all the same things. Brilliant!(taking him again) Tests are short answer,& essay based on NOTES! advice= record lectures,& type up notes if possible.His classes fill up super fast because he is THAT GOOD! Cases & Latin are strong on his exams..You Don't need a book..DONT MISS CLASS!!

BEST PROFESSOR EVER! Dr. Morton is amazing, his classes are not easy by any means but the most informative and knowledgeable professor i have had.. i recommend him to everyone i talk to.. #1 professor at FAU, andprobably any university in Florida!

Phenomenal teacher. Definitely one of my favorites. Study and take notes and you'll easily pass the class. I will forsure take another class of his!

There are just too many good things to say about Dr.Morton. If you know nothing about politics entering the class, you will at least have an interest at the end. Very funny and likeable guy. Assignments are opinion based and easy. Exams are straight from notes. I didn't need the book because thats just how great his lectures are. Very interesting.

One of the best teachers I have ever had. Keeps the topic relevant and interesting. If something important happens in the world he will shift the shedule and lecture on it. If I had taken his class as a freshman I would have switched my major and taken him for every class he offers.

Dr. Morton is a great lecturer, humorous, and takes teaching seriously. He's accommodating and provides for AMPLE extra credit opportunities. If you go to class you don't need the book. Not the most exciting class but it's fair and easy. Nice guy- worth taking!

He is absolutely the best professor I've ever had.

Morton is very helpful. But it's like he forgets you have other classes to study for. Note-taking/attendance are your keys to success here (And I mean ALOT of notes). I would probably never take him again though because I have 3 other classes to work on and studying for his class is so time consuming. Looking for an easy "A"? DON'T take this class!

hE IS FASCINATED!!!!

Took him this spring semester for American foreign policy. He is AWESOME! great professor with unparalleled knowledge in his field. He occasionally puts humor in his lectures ((not that he is boring, but it makes his lectures fun to go to). He expects a great deal from you, but take him! One of the greatest at FAU (if not the best).

AWESOME.

Class covered a ton of material, be prepared to write a lot of notes or you'll fail the tests. Class is by no means easy, but the Professor is very clear about what he expects of you. Great class if you're prepared to work for your grade. Textbook was unnecessary, I don't think I opened it once.

You are going to have to study, Thats the bottom line! Probably the smartest person I have met ever. If you want a challenge, and to actually learn something you can use to have intelectual conversations with then take Dr Morton

Clearly the man IS international law. He eats and breaths it. I really didn't like the class because there isn't really time to address questions you may have because he talks sooooo much. I really didn't learn anything from the class except latin terms. Major headache. I'm an excellent student but he gives way too much information. SERIOUSLY!

Great professor! Stay on his good side otherwise he does not warm up at all. Basically only ask questions when they're well thought through and pay attention. He's well informed and will give you the best semester experience ever. He's brilliant. I took International Law, Intl. Organization, Intl. Political Economy, and then finally was in Model UN

Wonderful professor. Gives you the knowledge and skills needed to succeed post-college by giving comprehensive lectures and difficult exams. Life isn't easy and I think his class reflects that beautifully. Study hard and go to class, you will be rewarded with an excellent grade.

Brilliant professor. Lectures are not hard to follow and attendance is strongly encouraged since he doesn't post anything on blackboard. Only polisci professor I've had thus far that has actually taught me something. His tests are not multiple choice but they aren't impossible to pass. As long as you take good notes you will pass.

Awesome professor! Easily one of the best at FAU. Go to class everyday and take thorough notes to do well, but that's not hard to do because the class is interesting, his teaching style is very straight forward, and he is helpful to students!

I was told by professors that I could not finish with a Political Science degree without Morton. I listened and it is the best advice that I have taken in my entire undergraduate career. Take every class that he offers. You will be grateful and have learned much more than anywhere else. Be on time, let him lecture, take notes, and make flashcards.

Great, clear-cut lectures. Guy talks for the whole time. No chance to ask any questions unless you really know what you need. Very cold and direct but knowledgable with a hint of humor. You learn a lot because this guy has lived it but you don't get a chance to debate or discuss. Show up to lectures or you will die. Attendance is a part of grade.

He's amazing! Best prof i have every taken and i have taken all of his classes. you learn so much. political sicence majors shouldn't be aloud to graduate without taking one of his classes.

I loved this class so much! Dr. Morton has a very dry sense of humor and the first exam may be daunting at first, but once you get into the note-taking groove, its all good. Exams usually cover a lot of material, but calmly reviewing a little each week and study groups will help tremendously. An amazing class for expanding your horizons!

Very clear about grading criteria, only three exams and attendance. His lectures are intense but very captivating; be ready to take notes. The only way to do well on tests is to make note cards and form study groups, but the testing material is extremely straightforward. You will learn more from this class than any other class you've ever taken.

He talks the entire class so you must write down everything he says because his exams are exactly from the notes. He has an extremely dry sense of humor but he's actually really funny. Make sure your questions are well thought out. 3 exams, had to read one book for each exam. He is extremely smart and knows this stuff front to back. Great professor

Dr. Morton is a fantastic professor. His lectures are intense, and long but very captivating. To survive any of his classes you must be ready to take notes (lots of notes) but well worth it because you will learn more from this class than any other class and the tests come straight from the notes. He is very clear & formal but very knowledgeable.

Dr. Morton is the best professor I've had at FAU. My only regret is that I didn't take more of his classes. He is very intelligent and his lectures cover a lot of information but it is worth it. The best!

He's genuinely the greatest professor I've ever had- which means a lot from me being a Political Science and Psychology dual major with three business-related minors. He's a stand-up professor and I wouldn't dare miss any lectures of his when given the opportunity (even outside of class). He inspires me to head to Law school in the future as well!

Very good professor, the lectures are good. Hes very funny and can make the content interesting. He's so friendly and will know your name even if you tell him once (or never in my case) The class is based off of 3 exams and attendance. You have to read 2 books as well that your tested on in the exams. Memorize case studies and vocab. Overall easy.

Dr. Morton is one of the best professors I've had, and at FAU. He is very intelligent and knows what he is talking about, and makes it evident throughout his lectures. He doesn't waste anytime, and gets straight to the material. Dr Morton is very helpful, and will clarify anything which you might not have understood. Every Poli Sci major must take

Do not take if you are not a political science major. He talks too fast and does not give students study guides for his difficult exams. He is very knowledgable of the material but his exams are detailed, you must study hard for a decent grade.

Dr. Morton is one of the best professors I've had at FAU. I would highly recommend taking him especially if you are a political science major. His lectures are amazing and you will learn so much!! Do not take this class if you want an easy A. He makes you work for it.

Hands down one of the best professors i've ever had at FAU. You walk out of class with abundant knowledge and waiting for next class. Best lectures that one can listen to for 3 hours straight since he mixes in jokes and puns.

Include that lectures are long and informative. Do not take him if you are planning to be lazy or not attend class. His classes are meant for those student who actually want to learn and study hard. Do not expect an easy A, only students who take time to study and invest time in the topics will pass. By far one of the greatest professors at FAU.

Dr Morton is truly inspiring and brilliant. I learned so much from his class. Not an easy class but if you are interested in diplomacy/international relations, this is one of the best classes for you. You will learn a lot but you gotta work for it. Highly recommend him if you are willing to learn and study hard. I have so much respect for him

Professor Morton is a really nice guy and he knows his stuff too. However, be prepared to take notes. LOTS of notes. The class consists solely of 3 exams, so there's no room for error. I ended up with around 50-60 pages of typed notes for the final exam. You'll learn a lot, but so much material to study for the exams made class very difficult.

Adv diplomacy is not the typical lecture/pp class. Its all research based and the hardest class you'll probably ever take BUT so rewarding. You will learn so much and grow so much as an individual. You get to compete at the NMUN in NY and represent FAU. You have to apply for this course. One of the best programs at FAU. Highly recommend

Dr. Morton is a wonderful professor and his class is very interesting. The lectures aren't boring and although the note load is heavy, they are specific and organized and vital to doing well on exams. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and highly respect Dr. Morton.

Undoubtedly one of the most efficient & unique profs I've ever had. His style provides minimal feedback, which forces you to think critically about how to improve. He teaches professionally w/ some dry humor. If you fall behind, its your own fault. Dr. Morton is extremely fair. Plus, you compete in the NMUN competition in DC representing FAU!

My favorite class I have taken at FAU. His lectures are interesting and he adds humor into them so you don't fall asleep during it. Lecture heavy that is for sure, but he is basically giving you everything you need to get an A in his class.

The greatest professor of all time.... Possibly the first time you'll feel challenged at FAU, but well worth it. if you go to class and take notes you can, and will, get an A. Massive amounts of information and you will leave class feeling like you knew nothing about the world beforehand. but that's what FAU could use more of. Must take.

Professor Morton is a true gem, a mix between hilarious, professional, inspirational, and compassionate. His lectures are informative and valuable. He is able to hold the attention of the classroom for the entire lecture with humor. And best of all, he truly cares about the well-being of his students.

"If ever given a chance to take Professor Morton, do it." This was the response given to me time and time again by former Morton students. Now I am honored to be able to provide the same response to other prospective diplomacy students. Take his class its one of the Best experiences you can acquire at FAU.

Professor Morton is the best professor I have ever had at FAU. He strives to motivate students to do the best they can and be the best they can be. From what I have seen, as long as you make it known that you are trying your best, he will give u a good grade. I wish I could take his class every semester! 100% recommend.

If you want a professor that truly cares about his students and strives to give you the tools to succeed in life, Morton is for you. Not only does he push his students he is very understanding and wants each person to succeed. Now, if you're willing to put the work in you won't regret it. Take Prof. Morton if you can!

One of the best professors at FAU. His diplomacy class is not for everyone, but it has been one of the most impactful classes I've ever experienced. His quizzes are not hard and most of your grade simply comes from good behavior on the MUN trip. He can give harsh feedback, but he makes winners out of his program. Best class in poli sci department

If you want to pass you have to show up. Dr. Morton is very cut and dry but still and amazing professor who truly loves what he does.

I took his NMUN program and INR3433. Only do Model UN. INR3433 was a go at your own pace summer course, with 3 difficult tests that I ended up with a C+. If you're better at time management, go for it. For NMUN, it was one of the best college experiences, and an easy A. Competing and winning for the school was so fun, and Dr. Morton really cares.

Professor Morton is one of the best instructors that I've had. He prepared us well for NMUN-DC 2022 and we finished first overall. I encourage everyone interested in international relations to take this course. You have to attend class to learn the materiel and there's a lot of preparation outside of class but it's not overly difficult.

Dr. Morton is one of the best at FAU! He is very knowledgeable and easy to learn from. His lectures are very interesting but detailed, so take lots of notes. He is easy to get a hold of and very responsive to emails.

I took him during summer so it was fully online, only 3 exams and 1 essay, he did give us 2 extra credit opportunities. His lectures are about 20min long and with a lot of information, but his exams aren't that hard, you just really need to take good notes. If you have any questions he responds to messages very quickly which is a good thing

you need to apply yourself but class is very easy to pass and he wants everyone to end with A's, really good freshman class, helps teach accountability. fairly easy class

This professor is one of the best professors I have ever had. He inspires you to want to be a better student and teaches you about what being a delegation truly means. I would recommend him to anyone.

This class is ultimately meant for NMUN-DC/NYC, which are among the best experiences I've had, & I thoroughly enjoy the class and the conference. His classes are fun & meant to be social as a part of diplomacy, but you need to know your country & geography so easily. I love this class & will be a forever memory, & classes are simulation-based :)
