very easy on the eyes
ya know, everybody needs a bit of eye candy now and then
Wow - what a hottie. Great guy, alittle confusing, but overall awesome professor!! At 8am he is a great thing to wake up to.

He is very helpful, greets you whenever he sees you, always willing to help you out, and makes you want to pay attention in his class.
not only is he always smiling - he's one of the smartest and most approachable people I've ever met. I bet some lady's really lucky.
He not only is the hottest teacher.. but the best teacher I have ever had in my life!
too smart for his young age!

Yeah, I agree, the hair is hot. The icing on the cake would be flat front khakis :)
great guy, real interesting, knows what hes talking about, tests are really comprehensive but he knws what hes talking about
I wish I could get as excited about the stuff as he does.
He is very enthusiastic about what he teaches and is easy to follow. The exams are all essay, but not too bad.
A great, nice, guy who loves his job. 2nd test is hard, but all tests are fair. Very informative.

He is a great teacher, and he's great looking too, makes me want to go to class!! haha
He got me interested in politics.
Def. a practical class... got me interested in politics... and he's not bad to look at, either..~
Such a hottie, made it a pleasure going to class! Made politics interesting and fun and he's worth taking for anything. Study groups are awesome and helpful...go to them! A+ for Dr. Hottie!!
Pretty good class.
If you have to take gov't, take him! He loves his job and it really shows. He really cares about the students, and you will learn a lot. The class is fun, yet challenging enough to get your money's worth ;)
Not too bad.
very good
HOTTNESS
makes it interesting
pretty good in general
This class was not what i expected. Kind of a tough grader on the papers and tests. Dr. Morris is a nice guy and enthusiastic. He is not a very good teacher. I would not recommend the course.
it was what I expected!

not your typical government class, does things his way, tough grader. tests are exactly as advertised and all essay tests which is not fun and you have to study and no your stuff or else you will nto do well.
good, fair
Very hot, and very nice. Tough grader but no suprises.
Good!
awesome teacher, nice guy and very interested in his students...easy on the eyes too ;-)
Dr Morris is exceptionally knowledgeable on the subject & very enthusiastic in the teaching of it. Good prof. I'd love it if he lightened up on the essay questions though! Not enough time during tests to really answer thoroughly! Good teaching style.
An effective teacher. One of the better in the dept.
knows quite a bit and teaches well
Great course
Dr. Morris is great
Keep up with the work and u will do well
No Comments
His passion really shows, and I think that helps!
He is a great professor, and his enthusiasm about politics makes the class extremely enjoyable! He doesn't over-burden you with reading assignments, but the class is difficult. 95 percent of his tests are essays (about three all together). His class is definitely worth taking. He is such a nice guy, and is absolutely willing to help.
SO HOT!!! He is such a great guy, and he is very helpful.
good teacher, good course
awesome
Joe is da bomb
Good guy and not a bad course
He's an awesome professor- really interesting lectures and pretty straight-forward with what he expects you to know. Uses good examples and tells great stories- like the time he got arrested... :)
Dr. Morris is outstanding.
awesome
nice guy, good teacher
its core, and so it goes
pretty good core course
do the reading, go to class. ask questions if you dont understand something. loves to teach and always willing to help. really enthusiastic. notes slightly scattered, but overall awesome class.
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!! sure, he's the director of the honors program, but don't let that scare you. as long as you go to class and take even half way decent notes, there's no way you can fail his class.
Too bad he knows he's "hot" and don't let the innocent smile and soft spoken voice fool you. Stay away.
Very helpful....he loves his job, and knows so much about politics. I haven't met someone who enjoys talking politics as much as me since I took his class. Not to mention gorgeous....shocker that he's single. lol
Nice good. kinda cocky since he knows he's hot and single. Class can be boring unless he telling his random stories. 2 papers - fair grader but not clear on the topics and specific he was looking for. 3 tests- blue book!!! Essays ... be able to spit out your notes and think critically.
Awesome. Actually makes politics and government interesting and doesn't assume that you know more than you do.
Jomo's the best!!!! love his classes, just remember Tocqueville and Teddy and you'll do fine.
Not too dificult. Tough grader on essay tests, not on the 2 papers required. He was open to discussion and loves when you give your opinion. Says essay questions are obvious, but whatever you think they are, think the opposite. Also very entertaining. Will clarify anything, in class or out, if you need him to(if needed, multiple times...).
One of my favorite professors. Tests are graded kind of hard, but if you study youll be alright, just write long essays explaining everything you learned related to the topic of the question. Hes deff. one of the coolest professors and really funny to, and hes a good guy.
Great Prof. Willing to help. Great personality. Carries his passion for government across to students. Tests are hard...just need to study.
excellent teacher and extremely cute when he gets red when people try to challenge his statements
Essay tests were really hard. Tough grader for tests and papers.
Excellent teaching skills and he's mad cute.
Loved listening to him talk. Sooo cute too.
Very hot. Very nice. Very smart.
Very good professor one of my favorites here at Mercyhurst. Very honest and down to earth learned a lot from him if you work hard, do the readings,and show up for class you will do fine!! If you slack off I feel bad for you! If you can definitely take him!!
pretty good teacher!
wonderful instructor
This is literally the sexiest man alive; not only with brawn, but brain as well. His method of teaching is excellent, and his understanding of the material makes you wonder why this man is not our president. Absolutely take American Government with him, you will not regret it. Three tests, and I think one paper.
Could be less critical on tests and essay papers. If asked for your opinion be cautious!
He is very passionate about American Government so he makes it fun and interesting. Very pleasing to look at. Just make sure you apply yourself right in the beginning because all his tests are essays.
Great instructor. He knows his stuff,and presents it well and keeps it interesting and engaging. At the end of the class, I still am unable to clearly tell what his personal political views are, as he argues passionately for all viewpoints. I definitely recommend him.
quite good
He's very enthusiastic about his job and the subject. He is also very understanding and willing to help. I'd try to take any class I can with him.
REALLY funny and nice. Good stories and good teacher. He really enjoys his job, obviously. Helpful and fair. Study for the tests because they are all essay questions.
Dr. Morris is absolutely wonderful. He makes his students extremely entertained and interested. I'd drop school and travel the world with this beautiful soul.
He is a nice professor and cares but his tests are RIDICULOUS. They are so hard. He makes you write out three essay questions and 5 vocab. He gets the vocab from blackboard we don't even go over. In order to even get a b on the test you need to absorb almost all the info which is virtually impossble. He also makes you do polling or write a 5 page paper in the middle of the semester.
By far the best teacher i have ever had. He makes classes interesting and fun. You can tell he loves what he does and is interested in what he teaches. His tests are very easy if you know the material. It's essay form. Reading is not a necessary thing but it definitely helps. Take Environmental Issues or any class you can from him!
one of the best teachers I've had at the hurst. he is very helpful, interested and passionate in his work and teaching and is involved with his students…he's not just there for a lecture. he is the reason i switched to political science as my major. i make sure i take as many classes with him as i can and seek his advice when needed.
Dr. Morris is a lot of fun, has great stories to tell and is easy to talk to. His lectures are very interesting, and though his tests can be kind of hard he isn't that tough of a grader.
Greatest professor I've ever had. Even though I only had him once, he still notices me when I pass through campus. He's so friendly, understanding, and sees so much potential in students. His lectures pertaining to the government shows his passion for the people of the U.S.
Fantastic teacher, really cares about the students and takes time to connect. Lectures are thorough but not repetitive
Dr. Morris is the most kind, caring, and funniest professor on campus. I'm not even a political science major and his American Government course I took was the greatest class I've ever taken..
overall great teacher exams are challenging beware of "all of the above" or "none of the above" answers. Enjoyed his lectures and grades pretty lenient on essay responses on exams. focus on notes in class for exams and also the terms he posts online to define. Other than that there's not much more you can do to prepare.
Dr. Morris is a legit legend. I literally went to this dudes class maybe 5 times the entire semester, failed all the tests except the final one, never did the mandatory presentation/project, and at the end of the semester this dude emails saying that I got a B on the last test and he was very pleased me with at all my hard work over the semester.
Dr. Morris is a great guy, and while his tests can be a bit challenging, he prepares you well for them in class. Even if you're just taking his class as part of your core requirements and have no interest in the subject, he'll make it enjoyable. However, you will need a flexible schedule for the mandatory polling center hours outside of class.
The class was okay. For just a reach class it had a lot of work.
He really cares about his students which makes for a good class atmosphere. It's more like studying with a friend :) he gives you all the facts you need to know so you can formulate your own opinion on political matters. It was a refreshing class for me to take
Professor Morris is an amazing man and has a passion for what he teaches. However, his tests can be a bit tricky. He does not post his notes, so make sure to write down everything from his lectures. In the election simulation, participate as much as possible. The grade for the simulation boosted my grade from a high C to an A.
He is a fun teacher and enjoyable to be in class(other than some of the students who don't stop talking) But his tests are very difficult and he gives no study guide to prep. You need to take good notes and pay attention heavily in class.
Although the American Government course is lecture heavy, Professor Morris does an excellent job making them engaging and interesting. He does a great job making students feel welcome in his classroom. He is also very knowledgeable about political science, and a great teacher as well. I totally recommend taking him for any class that you can!
Morris is by far one of my favorite professors at MU. He is very genuine and down to earth and it manifests into his lectures. Though his lectures are dense he always keeps class fun and light hearted. His tests are difficult, but if you listen and know the material you'll be fine.
Professor Morris makes his POLI100 lectures engaging, and he presents different viewpoints objectively. The tests are challenging but manageable if you stay on top of the material. I found unstuck AI and the free textbook helpful for study prep.
