Very spirited, loves what she teaches and makes you feel it! Very helpful, offers assistance when needed. Reading assignments are long (whole chapters before next class) but that's what's expected for college. Likes class participation, if you don't speak up, she won't go over the information. All in all, great teacher!

Interesting teacher. Very friendly and helpful. Gives quizzes the first class of the week. i.e. I have her Tues. and Thurs, so we quizzes are every Tues. morning. If you do bad on one or more, she offers extra credit such as visits to art galleries or watching a video. Reports are MLA format and you have a week to work on them. Fun class!

Awesome teacher, she is extremely helpful, and cares about her students. But only if they care about her class. If you come to class and pay attention you will get an A. Quiz every week, but its very basic over the reading she assigns like 4 questions. 2 essays, and 3 exams. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. she is extremely knowledgable.

I found this class to be rather easy. The only way you would think the tests are hard is if your too lazy to study. On the tests you basically write down whatever you know about the term/image, a short essay, and map. Yes, there is reading involved, & pop quizzes, but that's over the reading.

The Professor means well and knows what she is talking about, but do not take this class unless you absolutely have to, or are great at this stuff. I dropped out after the first exam. I studied so hard was good at the map and five pillars but I could not do anything else on it for the life of me. It was such an unnecessary class for me to take.

Shes Hard but fair. She gives you pop quiz's at the start of class. ALWAYS be ready for them even if the website she gave you didn't work. She defiantly leans to the left, but her political views aren't that much of an issue. She can be really fun and helpful too.

she claims that you must do these readings in order to have a class discussion- meanwhile there is NEVER a discussion. All she does is reiterate the readings w/o bringing the conversation any deeper or including anyone but herself. She is also extremely rude, no matter how nicely you approach her, constant attitude.

Professor Morian is an outstanding professor. She actually makes Humanities enjoyable. In her class I learned so much new information and gained a better understanding of events that happened here in America. I highly recommend her to any student who is looking for a great experience in humanities because she cares and knows the subject very well

Overall, I hated taking her for a professor. She expects you to use a note taking template that she creates ( which sucks ) and never helped me understand the material because I was too focused on formatting my notes. Lectures are boring, she doesn't do much teaching. Assigns long films to watch each week and lots of reading. Don't recommend.

Not particularly happy with how much homework was given. There was a ton of reading and videos so long, it made me wonder if the professor knew we had lives outside of the classroom.
