I've had six religion professors, and he's the best one, and I've had some good ones. What stands out about Bro. Morrill is how he helps the students apply the scriptures. When student's make comments, he says, "Find it in scripture." It's really stretching me to actually know and apply the gosepel. He's funny as heck and never not happy.
Brother Morrill is by far one of my favorite professors now. He is new to BYUI and very open to suggestions on how to run his class. Extremely funny but knows when to be serious, keeping the spirit very strong in the room. I want to take a class form him every semester now!
I love Brother Morrill! He's always positive and happy. His assignments aren't ridiculous and they help you with the papers you have to write each week (don't let that deter you; they're really not that bad). His lectures are always inspirational and he has wonderful comments. It's a class discussion. I would definitely take him again!
Brother Morrill is BY FAR my favorite professor. He's like your favorite sarcastic uncle. He really cares about ALL of his students. He is extremely funny and easy going. All of his students love him. He is wonderful at making us laugh while still being spiritual. The homework is usually really easily, and he grades it charitably.
Brother Morrill is literally the greatest. If he taught all my classes, I would get A's all the time. I'm not even kidding. He really loves his job and loves his students. I would take this class over and over and over again.
Brother Morrill is awesome. It's his first semester teaching at BYU-I and you can feel the enthusiasm in every class. He doesn't assign too much work and gives you great feedback. He's so friendly and open too. Sign up for his classes!
Excellent teacher, great teaching style. Just be prepared for thoughtful homework assignments the night before every class.
Really great class! This professor helped me to understand so much about the restoration. There was a bit of homework given, but overall, a very enjoyable class that I recommend to anyone. The teacher is very funny and knows every student. Really personable and funny. A great course and a great teacher.
I love this class. He is a very funny teacher that makes it his responsibility to know each and every student by name. His assignments make you think deeper about the articles of faith and basic doctrines of the church. The Foundations of the Restoration class i took was an hour long, twice a week. TAKE HIS CLASS YOU WONT REGRET IT!
Bro Morrill is seriously AWESOME. The readings aren't long and the lessons go along with exactly what you read. He also takes lots of time for his students through email and meeting with you during his office hours to go over any questions you have about the gospel- even when its not relevant to the class. Would definitely take from him again!!!
SUPA HOT FIYA! He is so down to Earth and likes to explain the gospel from all sides but always is able to show how it is true even amongst opposition from others. Great class to participate in missionary work and really lets you know all the beliefs of the church and how we can share them with others easily.
Bro M is so funny! He always shares funny stories and adds how they apply to the lesson. Each day he has you answer a fun question for roll like "What is your favorite type of bread." His classes are enjoyable and he is so passionate about the lesson. You won't regret taking this class.
Holy Moly Brother Morrill! He is a fantastic teacher. I felt the spirit in his class so many times. He wants you to know that you are a child of God. He answers any questions you have and is personable. I have no problem skipping classes, but I never wanted to skip his class. He doesn't take late work so keep up with iLearn!
BRO. MORRILL IS HILARIOUS. probably one of my favorite teachers now. he is awesome and super inspirational. he gives great insight into doctrines, but always has a great sense of humor. take any class from brother morrill if you can :)
There are prepare assignments and ponder & prove assignments where you answer a few questions, which are sometimes tricky and time-consuming. No technology allowed. Two major projects where you write out and fulfill a detailed plan of how you will live a particular principle for two weeks. You get 2 free absences, then it hurts you.
Brother Morrill is so awesome! You won't regret taking his class. His class is so inspirational and he's so full of knowledge. He teaches amazing lectures. I did not miss a class because I love how he teaches so much. I've never understood things about the church really well until I took his class. Just do your work and take notes. Take his class!
Best Class Ever. I was his first class working at BYUI, and it was honestly amazing. IT was incredibly spiritual, and I would absolutely take his class over again if i could. All you had to do was read, mark that you had, and show up. He didnt check or test anything,
Br. Morrill has a clear love for this gospel that shows each time he teaches. I loved attending his class every week! He's really funny and does an amazing job relating the gospel to real life situations. He has only been hired for like 3 years I think so TAKE A CLASS FROM HIM BEFORE YOU CAN'T!! You seriously won't regret it.
Super easy and very spiritual. I always felt the spirit in his class. Makes u laugh everyday. U have small assignments that you print out and bring to class just so u can remember what u wrote. He requires notes, but large or s note small dont matter. Final is just all your papers that you did throughout the semester and what you learned. Easy A.
Bro Morrill is super easy. 2 assignments a week only, you need to print it off and take it to class so you can remember what you did. Only requires small notes, which can be a sentence and he'll accept, your mid-term is just living the gospel and showing how it changed you. Final is just all your assignments u printed off stapled, Super easy.
LOVED IT!
Brother Morrill was an amazing teacher. He brought the spirit to class but also made it more fun and enjoyable to be in class. He doesn't give a huge amount of work to do so you are able to focus more on other classes. He gives a new perspective on things.
Such a great teacher! Love him, one of my favourite religion professors.
Brother Morrill knows a tremendous amount of information about the gospel. His lectures are deep and profound. If you put in the work, participate, and attend class it's an easy A. Definitely worth my time.
This is my second time taking Brother Morril, and I'd gladly take him the rest of my time here. Whether it's Foundations of the Restoration, or D&C part 2, you will see the gospel in a whole new light with a whole new love. Bro M LOVES his students and his so funny. His homework is actually worth your time, and he's here for a limited time only!
Bro. Morrill is a great guy. He loves what he does. There is ALOT of work, the most i have had for a religion class. You have papers to write almost every week. This is a religion class that does keep you busy.
He is amazing! I want to take him for every religion class for the rest of my college career. He is so compassionate, passionate about the gospel, and very funny. I can't say enough good things about him. If you take him, you definitely won't regret it and will get so much from any of his classes that you are fortunate enough to take.
I love Brother Morril. He is hilarious. I will definitely take a class from him again if I have a chance
The easiest and most rewarding religion class I have ever taken. He is so good at explaining controversial subjects. This class was not as overwhelming like other classes and I get overwhelmed very easy. You just have to prepare before each class for homework but then you talk about them so you have everything you need for the essays.
Brother Morrill was an AMAZING religion teacher!! I would totally take a class from him again! He was super funny, and made the gospel applicable to daily life. Seriously, take this class from him!
Brother Morrill is amazing! Such an inspiration. He helped me to understand so many things I hadn't even thought of thinking about before. If you're going on a mission, take the Restoration class from him! I feel so much more prepared because of this class. He listens. He helps you build your own testimony. He gives you ways to find truth. Awesome!
Amazing class. WILL be taking more classes from him. Class was never boring and he truly cares about his students. Each class you had to print your prepare assignment & have in class, as well as submit on line before. worth points to have in class (missing a few printed isn't a big deal) let me make up work for 50% credit when I was behind a few
He is the kind of teacher that learns all of the students names. I took Foundations of the Restoration from him, and learned new things even though I'm a return missionary. I did not get tired or bored in his class even though it was a 7:45 class. And that wasn't because I'm a morning person.
I can tell that Brother Morrill really loves what he does and is very smart when it comes to the gospel, but it comes across as "I know more than you do, so let me grace you with my knowledge and wisdom" rather than actually wanting to help grow our testimonies of the restoration. A lot of homework, more than there should be for a religion class.
Best religion teacher! Will change how you see the Gospel. So inspirational and makes you see the Gospel in a new way. I would take every class from him.
Brother Morrill is hilarious and is really smart. He makes you understand the Doctrine and Covenants like you have never understood before. He really cares and memorizes everyone's name. Get ready to read before every class period. It is a lot of work, but is so worth it. You will feel the Spirit and grow if you seriously do everything.
I got a bad grade in this class because there was a LOT of the homework. Brother Morrill is the best teacher I've ever had so I would definitely recommend this class. Just make sure you aren't just taking it for an easy grade. It's worth the time it takes!!
Brother Morrill is super funny! His classes are really interactive and he is really clear. He knows the scriptures and he loves to answer questions. Really good teacher and I would totally take him again
Easiest 225 class ever. Other teachers give u a ton of work, he breaks it down to help you do it all easily. Super spiritual, he will strengthen your testimony! Clear grading criteria, 2 HW assignments weekly, n weekend is a paper on those two assignments, super easy. Overall, do your HW, go to class, take notes, n print out HW when u go to class.
Brother Morrill is my favorite teacher! Hes energetic and facilitates an environment where everyone feels like they can participate. Literally every assignment in class is for your benefit so you WANT to do it, plus it's just scripture study. If you need to strengthen your testimony take this teacher, he cares so much and makes every class so fun!
You were graded on your ability to answer questions over the reading. Questions were easy to answer and there weren't many right or Wong questions. They were mostly thought provoking. Very class oriented and class discussions were fun. Easy grader. Great person. He knows his stuff but conveys it in a great way
"That's AWESOME!" Brother Morrill is hilarious. He loves to ask questions that will really make you really think about what you believe. There were days when his lectures seriously blew my mind. He gave A LOT of homework, but he promised to modify the load in future semesters. He's a super lenient grader, though. Just cover the basics!
Brother Morrill is the best professor I have ever had. He has so much to offer his classes, and he truly loves and cares about his students. I wish I could take him again for the rest of my college career. He talks about the gospel in a way that makes you have new perspective. I never left the class without feeling uplifted and inspired.
He is so well read with the scriptures and uses it to get us thinking and find our own answers to our questions. He truly cares about you and your learning. A short paper is due before each class which can be tedious at times, but that's the only homework. There are a handful of papers to do, but super easy if you do the before class stuff.
Brother Morrill is my favorite religion professor I have had so far. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Do the pre class assignments and show up to class. Then theres a couple other things here and there. Nothing that isn't super manageable. Not hard to get a good grade. He is a great guy and really cares about you!
I loved Brother Morrill. He cares about what hes doing and hes really good at it. One of my favorite things about his teaching style is that he presented new information, a lot of religion classes seem to be the same information reworded in different ways. There was a lot of homework, but it wasnt too bad and really helped prepare you for class.
There were a lot of quizzes and since it was over the pearl of great price and the book is so small, there was a lot of other reading and research you had to do. It was very inspiring and I would highly recommend this class to anyone.
Take a class from Brother Morrill! He is amazing! I'm taking Perl of Great Price from him, and I never leave class disappointed! Work is easy, but you start losing points after your second absence, so don't skip! But with Morrill as a teacher you won't want to. Seriously, take his class!
Brother Morrill's class is amazing. I never left class disappointed. Granted, it was a lot of reading and you have to print out your 'prepare' assignment and take it to class. Brother Morrill definitely makes you think for yourself and helps build clarity with examples. I would take again.
Super easy, super relatable, funny, has a true testimony of the gospel and shows through his lectures.
Brother Morrill was an amazing teacher. There is a lot of in class participation, but nothing you won't want to do. Participation is really important, but if there is a real reason, he is very understanding. He gives amazing lectures that leave you telling everyone about the amazing class you had. There is a prepare assignment for each class time.
It was some work reading, writing prepare assignments, then printing them out to take to class everyday, but it was worthwhile. I truly loved his class! It helped me grow spiritually. We had 4 relatively easy 2-page papers due. He wants you to share and put in effort. If you do that, it's a great experience. He teaches with the Spirit & knowledge.
Brother Morrill has a great balance between strict and laid back. If you simply try in his you will pass. He is exemplary in a religious setting because he helps you think of both sides. He creates a lot of, "AHA," moments. I had numerous conversations with him after class about various topics.
I really enjoyed having Bro. Morril as a teacher. He knows his material, plus he's hilarious. It was a fun religion class, even though the lessons were heavy as far as doctrine goes. He expects his students to come prepared as he does, so I think that's fair. He's great!
Incredible teacher that ties modern subjects with modern revelation. Well versed in the Gospel and holds his own and responds well with "deep" questions. Doesn't delve too deep in a subject but he does leave plenty of room for personal thought and development that can lead to deeper understanding of solid doctrine. Puts learning before grades.
Brother Morrill is the best religion teacher I've had so far. He is really passionate about the gospel, but doesn't sugarcoat things either. He always backs up his statements with facts and stellar church history. He is great at answering the deep questions and the in-class discussions are profound and fantastic. Take him!!
Great teacher! Bro. Morrill is very energetic and passionate about the gospel. He has made me view doctrines in a way I never have before. He makes sure every student in his class understands the material. He is very great to listen to and makes class so fun. I never want to leave or miss class because I love it so much!
Bro. Morrill is the freaking best. His great energy that gets you excited and curious, while also having deep reference and wisdom for the scriptures; he knows so much about the cultural context of New Testament its nuts He genuinely cares about his students' lives and insights, and tries to make sure everyone feels the spirit as well as have fun.
I highly recommend Brother Morrill. He knows his stuff and wants his students to have a clear understanding. He's more than willing to help out if you need anything and asking questions is encouraged. There is a lot of transparency in this class while learning about the Restoration. Bro Morrill is bold and very open to talking about the hard stuff
Brother Morrill is literally the best! He will test you spiritually but I definitely always had a new insight when I went to class! Best religion teacher ever!!!
Brother Morrill is the absolute best professor. I wish he could teach all of my classes throughout college. He's an absolutely wonderful person and I always walked away with more knowledge and feeling so great. He's hilarious and really cares about you individually.
He is awesome! so entertaining and I learned a lot from him. I served a mission and thought i knew a lot about the restoration but I was wrong. I took the class at 7:45 and still enjoyed it so that's saying something. He's very clear about what is expected from you. If you just go to class with your prepare assignment printed out you will pass.
Great religion teacher!!! He is very kind and understanding. I thought I knew a lot about the restoration, but I knew nothing!! Make sure you ask questions! He is great at answering questions and leading discussions. He says it how it is. As long as you keep up with the homework you're fine. I enjoyed every class!
Hope youve got a lot of time set aside for this class, because he gives a stupid amount of homework. I was taking 3 separate programming classes this semester, and all three of them combined were less work than what I had to do for this class. Great teacher, funny guy, but a stupid amount of homework. Expect to read about 20 chapters every week
Best religion teacher without a doubt. There's no other professor at this school that can make me want to take their class at 7:45 a.m., so that should tell you everything you need to know. Classes are always open to questions and he will let the class go whatever direction it ends up in. He lets the class do its own thing and just guides it along.
I freaking love him. This class was amazing and he loves hearing our ideas and thoughts. He also is pretty easy going with the grades and as long as you do the work you get the credit for it.
He's a great guy, but sometimes he focuses too much on being funny than on allowing for students to actually feel the Spirit. He also liked to select some students when it came to participation and would often ignore others who were raising their hands. Homework isn't too bad, but you have to do it to get an A
Most interesting religion class I've taken and I would take his other classes too. Lectures are very informative and he gets to know everyone's name in the first week. Always in a good mood and leads excellent discussions in class. You can tell he takes the gospel seriously but also has a humorous side which you learn from the very beginning.
I learned SO MUCH in his class! He encouraged good participation and he was so inspiring. Throughout the semester he had us ask anonymous questions about 'the hard/deep topics'. And he answered them! He was super funny, but never unkind. I had some questions about a project we had to do, and he made himself available to work with me. He's the best!
Bro. Morrill's lectures are amazing and left me with new ideas every time. This is my second semester taking a class from him and he remembered my name from 2 years ago. Really cared about you. There is quite a bit of prep to do, but it is all worth it. He is also VERY open to feedback and improvements.
Bother Morrill is absolutely amazing!! I have taken his class for both Foundations of the Restoration and Eternal Family. Class time is fun and informative, no "test" besides an interview final (don't stress if you are present during class). homework assignments are always the same and take 25-60 minutes depending on how much you want to learn!!!!!
Brother Morrill is my favorite religion professor ever. He is very kind and really cares about his students. His lectures are amazing, and I feel like I have learned so much from taking this class. The assignments are not too bad either. I recommend taking his classes!
Brother Morrill is the MAN. His class discussions are the best: I learned so much about the Restoration, I wish I had taken him before my mission! I also appreciate the workload: like, there's a good amount of homework, but it won't murder you in your sleep (unlike some religion courses :P) His biggest priority is strengthening your testimony!
He definitely has a very 'seminary teacher' vibe. He is cool and chill. He has some good insights. Maybe a bit narrow minded in his teachings, but that might just be the religion class. He doesn't always have his course or homework set up more than a week in advance. You have 3-4 readings every week that take some time. Sure, I'd take it again.
Such a good class, the spirit is always there and he's such a funny guy. He has such an infectious laugh too. This class has the assignment due on the day of class @ 2! Not too hard but not super super easy, a good balance! Recommend taking him if you can! taking him again next semester too!
I can understand how some people might like his class or his personality but I just found his class annoying. While he teaches doctrine for the most part he adds his spin and pushes his views and semantics, teaching them as if they were thruths. Sometimes it's subtle, sometimes it's not. I haven't found this an issue with previous REL instructors.
I love Brother Morrill!! You should do the reading (especially from the student manual) because there's a short quiz at the start of each class, but they're really easy and you have the chance to retake them. He is funny and I really felt the Spirit in his class. You gotta take him!
He is passionate about what he teaches, but looks for things that are not there and expects you to know those things. Gives tons of reading and essay-type homework. The final in his class is ABSURD for a religion class. I learned a lot but the workload was more than any other religion class I've ever taken (especially with the final).
Brother Morrill is a great teacher and is very passionate about the things he teaches. He knows a lot too! He usually tries to get us to think outside of the box and to think differently about certain things. I learned a ton. But the homework about is pretty heavy. His final test is crazy. Way too big for a religion class. Wouldn't take again!
I did not enjoy his class. His lectures are very bland and his input that he sends out is harsh. Throughout the class, he has essays that have to be 3 pages with scriptural sources to help support the essay. In my opinion, It was useless and did not help the learning in any way.
Homework is due before each class. It is lengthy and time consuming, but really easy. He grades more on effort than accuracy. Papers are due at the beginning of the semester. By the end, it was weekly assignments and preparation for the final, which was a ten minute conversation with him. Big on scriptural evidence. Great learning for new converts.
I loved this class. He was so funny. He did a great job keeping it real while discussing the Churchs history. I will purposely be looking for classes he teaches.
Brother Morrill is by far my favorite professor here. He is so personable and truly wants to get to know his students on a more personal level. He's very clear about what his criteria for grading is, and honestly, it's an easy class. He has a few papers, but they're not bad. Overall, he is there to help you learn and grow in a fun environment.
Beware, his class has way more hw than any religion class should have. But besides that, he is a really great professor. He really cares about his students and tries to get to know them. His classes are full of good questions that promote thought-provoking conversations.
He's super awesome! Brother Morrill definitely knows what he's talking about and he really cares about his students. There is a lot of homework but it's useful and thought provoking. Would definitely recommend him!
Brother Morrill is great and he is really passionate about the subject. His lectures are engaging and I learned a ton about the gospel. I definitely think he could be a bit more sensitive to those who aren't from "cookie-cutter" situations because he speaks in a lot of absolutes. The readings can be long but they're relevant! Loved this class!
Such a great teacher! very inspirational gives you a new perspective on the family. I learned so much and gained a lot. He cares about his students and is a very respectable guy.
Is too strict on attendance and late work. The course is about the Old Testament but barley read through a fourth of it. Not much to gain from this class. Assignments are very vague in terms of there instructions.
He is always willing to answer questions and gives great lectures. He makes it a goal to help you understand the material and is very understanding. Attendance is super important.
Brother Morrill is very willing to talk and work with students. We did lots of group discussions this semester and it was great. He gives you time to work on your own, and also gives the BEST inspiring material in class. Definitely would recommend.
Brother Morrill is amazing! I am already registered for another class with him. His lectures are very inspiring and I really enjoy his class and his insights. Overall if you show up and do the work, it is an easy A. I absolutely recommend taking his classes.
I took The Eternal Family class with Brother Morril and it has been one of my favorite classes!!! After every single class I went to I just felt so inspired and felt like my testimony was stronger. He also loves questions which I loved. He is seriously the best.
There were only two assignments per week but they were pretty heavy and required a lot. There are two big papers in addition to the weekly homework, and the final is a monster. He also frequently asks for research in assignment as well as for the final. Bro Morrill is nice enough but this class is way too heavy for a religion class.
Brother Morrill is an amazing professor! I took The Eternal Family from him and it is my favorite religion class thus far. The subject matter is obviously a little controversial but he did an amazing job clarifying and explaining doctrine, and answered tons of questions I had about the church. My testimony is stronger after taking his class.
I'm taking his eternal family class. His assignments are easy and if you don't do them he explains the entire thing next period. He uses PowerPoint/class discussion to lecture. He is genuine and kind. If you reach out to him he'll make time to meet with you and answer your questions. You will not regret taking his class.
I cannot recommend Brother Morrill enough!!! I have learned SO much from his class and he does an incredible job at keeping everyones attention. I promise that you will not be bored in his class! He teaches some incredible principles and valuable things that I'll use for life. I would probably take every religion class with him if I could!
Very organized- the assignments are always clear and easy to understand. Homework usually only takes about 2 hours per week. Always shows up early and cares about his students
This was by far my favourite class this semester. Brother Morrill is an incredible professor, and I wish I could have him as a professor for every religion class. Not only does he remember little details about all of his students, but he also teaches the most incredible doctrine in a way that I have never seen. I HIGHLY recommend this class.
Bro Morrill is the best religion teacher of my 6 semesters of religion classes by alot. The assignments are a little more involved. However, a week's worth won't take more than an hour and a half. Lectures are engaging and personable. Save eternal families and foundations of the restoration for this guy. I wish I did. Top notch
Before class, there was almost always an assignment that was due, a long with a weekly reflection assignment, a project, and maybe a random assignment here and there. I loved how spiritual Brother Morrill is and how knowledgeable he is in the gospel, but keep in mind he cold calls. Attendance matters and there will be a big penalty on late work.
Brother Morrill is an amazing teacher. My testimony has grown immensely in his class. He's so freaking hilarious, but he also knows when to be serious. Several classes left me deep in though and a few even left me with tears streaming down my face. He's so inspirational and I felt the spirit every class period. Please please PLEASE take his class!
Honestly such a good teacher. Went to him multiple times for help with tough questions brought up in his class, and he always had time to help out. Super clear on what he wants, and will help you if you ask for it. Homework and attendance are SUPER important.
Bro. Morril was a fantastic professor, he was fun with teaching the content on the Family Proclamation. He was also not afraid of asking/answering controversial questions. Would recommend 100%
I took Brother Morrill's Eternal Families Class (REL 200C) and I absolutely loved it!! He literally gives such insightful lectures for the family a proclamation for the world that it's as if you thought you understood the Proclamation but then he gives you a set of glasses and you all of a sudden see everything much more clearly! TAKE THIS CLASS!
If you truly want to learn and grow your faith, then you have no reason to not take this class. He will help your faith and action grow!
I LOVED THIS CLASS. Brother Morrill has a talent for teaching doctrine in a whole new way that just makes one see everything in a different light. It's such an insightful and spiritual experience. There's always reading and journal entries, but they aren't hard. It takes about 30-45 minutes prior to class depending on the topic. Take this class!!!
Brother Morrill has assignments due before class that takes maybe 45 mins -1 hour. part of your grade is showing up. Not your typical final just a 5 min talk he cares about the students. He learned our names on the same day. most got an A. Side note: make sure to have at least 3 scripture references. he gives you a tool to look up some references
This Eternal Family Class changed me. If you are considering taking it with Brother Morrill, DO IT!!! I took a morning class with him, and I never skipped once because his lessons are so eye opening, and I never wanted to miss it. He does a great job facilitating spirit-guided discussions. I felt very comfortable participating and he is hilarious.
If you plan on answering a question be prepared to have follow up questions or scripture references ready. Overall a great professor. Funny, entertaining in class, very lenient with assignments if you have a good reason.
His class blew my mind every time. He taught some deep and complex doctrine in a way that it always made so much sense. I was always excited to go to his class. The class overall was pretty easy. Make sure to include scriptures or other references in the assignments and you'll be golden every time.
(The Eternal Family) Brother Morrill is one of the best teachers! expands your learning and the way you think about or view life. You won't get bored in this class, I wish it were longer. 3 homework assignments a week, they are easy and have to heavily reference where you are getting your info. I will be taking more classes from Brother Morrill!
You can tell Brother Morrill loves the gospel, however, I came out of this class every day spiritually drained. He always added his own political and personal opinions, and a lot of the things he taught weren't doctrine. His work was heavy and his final exam is terrifying. I caution anyone who decides to take his class. I wish him all the best.
THIS CLASS AND PROFESSOR ARE LIFE CHANGING!!!! TAKE IT
I cannot say this enough, this teacher is absolutely exceptional. this is BY FAR the best professor to take Eternal families from. The way he taught us truly changed my life. From what I heard about other eternal families classes, his curriculum and assignments provide more opportunities for personal conversion and deeper understanding.
Brother Morrill is very kind and always in a good mood, which was a big help considering I took his class at 7:45am. The homework was consistent each week (3 assignments per week) with no quizzes/tests all year. Only hard part is attendance is mandatory- you get up to 3 missed classes but past that each missed day is 7.5% off your final grade.
Bro Morrill makes you think. The class really puts a different perspective on things. There's a prep assignment for every class, make sure you do it before or you'll get marked down for late work!
Best religion teacher ever. I learned so much about the church in this class. You get real stories and experiences from him and other students. What you put in the class is what you're going to get out of it.
Brother Morrill is an amazing teacher. He works so hard to make you feel welcome in class, and all homework is meaningful. He facilitates amazing discussion and is reverently passionate about everything he teachers. I've taken two of his classes already and still recommend him!
Mr Morril's lectures are amazing. He dives into complex by relevant issues and allows a lot of thought-provoking discussion. he makes an effort to know the names of everyone in class and lectures in a very engaging way. I am definitely going to take him again for my Eternal Family class.
Brother Morrill explains the Family well, and he is open to controversial topics as well. Before every class, there is a reading assignment. The readings are usually a couple of verses and a talk, following a reading assignment. It usually takes around 1 hour to finish. There is a final exam, which is a 5-min teaching session in his office.
Taking Eternal Families from Professor Morrill not only amplified but transformed my knowledge and testimony of the gospel into something better and stronger. He is incredibly intelligent and helps us find answers on our own through inspired class discussions. There is a good amount of homework but what you get out of the class is what you put in.
Brother Morrill is INCREDIBLE! He truly, truly cares about his students and makes an effort to personally get to know his students and connect with them. His lectures are incredible and I'm always learning something new. He says the most profound things. And he encourages student participation. I look forward to his class!
Brother Morrill is fantastic! He cares about his students and wants each of us to succeed. He's funny and the work for this class is pretty light but still informative and interesting. I learned something new, exciting, or fascinating every class.
Brother Morrill is the most amazing professor I've ever had. TAKE HIS CLASS! It truly has changed my life. Questions I've had my whole life have been deeply answered in this class, and this teacher is truly amazing at leading discussions and bringing the Spirit into the room, while also making it fun. He is hilarious. I can't say enough good!
Professor Morrill's class is truly transformative. The assignments are manageable, and engaging with the material can lead to profound personal insights. I found Unstuck AI to be a helpful study tool alongside the course textbook. Overall, an excellent and life-changing experience.
Seriously amazing teacher, I was nervous about this class but I learned SO much. Doesn't beat around the bush, but takes all questions/concerns seriously. Great teaching style, would recommend his class.
I did horribly in this class but that was entirely my fault. Brother Morrill is an incredibly forgiving and talented teacher. I took the Special Topics in Religion class, but that wasn't a drop down option.
Brother Morrill is one of my favorite teachers. He truly cares about all of the students and takes time to be one on one with everyone as much as he can. His teaching style is very direct, engaging, and clear. The eternal family class is the best religion class so far for me!
Why's he kinda…
I liked brother Morril, he is very friendly. He has a good way to teach this topics, and make it more fun, however. There is a lot of church culture involved in the class, and for me as a convert was very hard to understand, I did not like that, including the many times he repeats how good is to start family while young, I think its a wrong message
Brother Morrill is undoubtedly the most phenomenal professor I have ever had. His lectures were interactive and fascinating, and I looked forward to class every single week. He is funny and the assignments aren't difficult, just study your scriptures! He makes gospel concepts fun and applicable, I would take this class again in a heartbeat
Brother Morrill is an incredible teacher. I would highly recommend him to anyone taking Eternal Family. His course is challenging in all of the right ways. He is kind, loving, smart, and Christlike.
Brother Morrill refuses to make the grading rubrics public on his assignments, which are essentially short essays three times per week. In addition, attendance counts for 40% of the grade, and he refuses to let students make up absences.
As a closeted student I was nervous this course would hurt my testimony and further me from the gospel. Instead my questions were answered, I felt God's love, and I have never been more sure of my faith and purpose. Brother Morrill is an incredible professor who teaches with truth and compassion. Don't be scared to take this class!
Overall, I believe Brother Morrill is an amazing lecturer, every lecture would end with me feeling the Spirit and almost always gaining some new perspective of the gospel I never had before. My only gripe is that if attendance is mandatory, he should not assign as many papers/projects as he did, as writing 3 papers a week killed my Spirit a bit.
As a lesbian, I found his Eternal Families class faith-damaging. A prompt compared LGBTQIA+ identity to cancer and poverty. He pushed political views, cited unknown “experts” from Twitter instead of scripture, and said my sexuality was trauma-based. The psychology book he gave me was by a right-wing political scientist. I wish I'd taken it online.
He taught class in a very informative and inspiring way. I learned a lot from the difficult topics he went over. He's pretty good with questions. Class is mostly lectures and partner/class discussions. The homework is tedious and long, but the project and tests were easy. Overall a great teacher and class, just very long and unnecessary homework.
Brother Morrill was an AMAZING & funny professor! He was so knowledgeable about the Pearl of Great Price. We asked him sooo many questions and he had fantastic answers for them all. Only note: It is a little reading heavy—scriptures & corresponding student manual section. Read them!! You have daily quizzes that'll call you out if you don't lol
Brother Morrill is an amazing teacher! He is so passionate about what he is teaching and isn't afraid to answer any and all questions that students have. I am so sad that this class is over. I am hopeful that there is another class of his that I can take in the future.
Brother Morrill is the most amazing professor you'll ever have! He is kind, understanding, hilarious, and has the strongest testimony of Christ. His Eternal Family class is literally the best class I have ever taken so don't miss out!!!
He goes into detail and teaches methods to use for a deeper study. he grades with a strict requirement that they want to see, so don't skip the readings. The final was very simple and based on effort. You can only skip class three times before your grade starts to drop drastically and he tends to call on people, so make sure you prep for class.
Brother Morrill is genuinely the best professor I've ever had at BYU-I, he makes the classes so fun and engaging, it was the only class I actually looked forward to going to. Attendance is really important, if you miss more than like 4 days you basically get zero attendance credit for the whole semester, other than that, great class.
