Best online class I have taken so far. He gives great feedback. On the quizzes you get multiple attempts and theyre pretty simple if you read the chapter. Just have to know key terms for the exam. Discussion boards are easy and a great help to get different perspectives on that chapters topic.

Parents beware! If you have young children who you have to help in school a lot or have other issues and you happen to be a single parent who needs the night hours to get work done, look elsewhere. His deadlines are at 5:00 Sunday instead of the usual midnight. 7 hours less than the usual deadline. Not necessary. Not understanding. Take another.

This is my second time taking an online class with it and it was worth it. He is clear with what he wants and hes not a tough grader. I would recommend you take him if youre looking for an online class to take.

Professor Morra is very clear in what he wants from you, and what he wants is not difficult at all. He usually responds very quickly to any questions, sometimes within an hour. He grades fairly and always gives helpful feedback.

Professor Morra was wonderful. The syllabus and grading criteria was very cut and dry. He is a fair, fast grader and answers any questions you may have. His grading turnaround time is the best I have had. He also doesn't mind making corrections if you point them out. Keep your deadlines and you will pass!

He's a decent teacher, who grades fairly and fast but unfortunately no extra credit. In the beginning of class he wasn't clear about the discussion due dates. Initial and response posts are due on separate days. Good overall, just don't overlook this course because you will end up getting an undesirable grade.

he's very clear with his expectations. A bit strict with deadlines but he gives a lot of time to work on assignments / lots of reminders. He's a very lenient grader and very understanding. love him !!!

I'm sad I got a B—don't like how an 89.5 is a B, which is upsetting. The class was easy though. He gives lots of reminders for due dates and is an easy grader. There were 2 exams, quizzes, discussion boards, and 2 projects. Both projects were essays, and he graded them easily. One project involved interacting with another student over Zoom.

Easy A class if you stay on top of the work. Quizzes allow multiple attempts, exams focus on key terms, and discussion boards provide thought-provoking topics. unstuck study can be a helpful study tool alongside the free textbook.

Prof. Morra was the least understanding professor I have ever had. He gave us a template to use on an assignment, which my group filled out to perfection, and then he told us the template didn't follow the rubric and gave us all ZEROS. When I emailed him, he told me it was my fault. Completely unreasonable prof with no genuine care. Very unfair.

Unclear grading criteria in multiple assignments. Instructions outside of the grading rubric/assignment page are given in the form of email. You will get many emails a week informing you of deadlines. If you ignore these, because you are an adult and don't need mass reminders, you may miss these extra instructions needed to get full credit.

Amazing professor and very kind. Gave me extra points on my final even though I did not do well on the short answer questions. Group project is fairly easy if everyone participates. He gives reminders all the time for assignments and gives good feedback. Easy A, highly recommend!!
