One word: dry. He can't speak with emotion, and his powerpoint lectures aren't even worth listening to. Also, the blackboard reading quizzes (an integral part of the class) are written poorly- there is no outright correct answer for many of the questions. He even mislabeled one, causing the entire class to fail it. He's an easy grader though.

He really is a good guy. He is kind of dry & his powerpoints aren't really interesting, but ENGR 111 as a whole is uninteresting, so that really isn't his fault. You shouldn't need help in this class, but he is super nice & would help you if you needed it. This class is pretty easy. I'd take him again.

He's quiet, I still don't know what his voice sounds like. I show up to class just for attendance, but don't pay attention. The online quizzes are very easy, as well as the 2 group projects and essays. Should be an easy A, but I was honestly hoping to learn more about each type of engineering in this class. Not his fault though, poor curriculum.

It's probably more of the ENGR-111 course being really poorly designed than it is him, but the class was basically a disaster. We rarely had any idea what we were supposed to actually be doing. As for him personally, In a smaller class I could see him being a great professor, but his lectures were really monotonous . It's still an easy A, though.

One of the best lecturers at UA. A good chunk of the class is the tests, which are hard but not at all impossible if you study. He is very straightforward and will never mislead or trick you. Would definitely recommend him for Foundations, you will not be disappointed.

Morgan Minton is a good professor for those who show up to lectures, he does a good enough job that often times, just listening to the lectures he gives allows you to pretty much just understand everything in the book for that chapter without any hassle. He does give out a decent bit of homework but, they prepare you quite well for the exams.

Professor Minton is a great option for Engr 103. He's a nice guy and cares about his students. The class is pretty lecture and physics heavy, but the homework is light. Tests are pretty difficult because they are only 20 MCQs with no curve, but he does a good job preparing students for the tests through the lectures, homeworks, labs, and review.

Having learned physics in high school, class was not as difficult as it could've been, but Morgan kept me engaged with his great lecture skills and his genuine love for engineering. Very accessible and will happily work with you. Good bit of homework assignments and a few labs, most of the grade comes from the tests, which are fairly difficult.

Homework is useful to study. Exams are not curveballs in any way, as long as you prepare your formula sheet and do the homework you will be good.

Minton is a very enthusiastic about what he teaches, however the way he teaches isn't the greatest. He would spend most of class just explaining the concepts, do one example, then run out of time, leaving me to teach myself. Tests are 5ish questions so there is little room for error and the final was only 7. Homework was hardly ever graded.

Minton is a great choice for GES 255. His review session and practice tests closely mirror the exams and he is very generous with partial credit. The mandatory lectures often focus on deriving formulas, but the remainder of lectures are practice examples that mirror exams as well. You're allowed a double-sided formula sheet for each exam as well.
