The best professor ever. Very helpful if you have questions. Consists of four exams and weekly homework.
very good professor, super nice guy that actually cares about the students
My favorite professor ever! He is not the most organized professor, but the class was always entertaining. He made Accounting seem interesting and made the coursework relevant for everyone, even non-Accounting majors.
Will is a great professor, he seems to genuinely care for his students. Before the course I had no interest in accounting and now I am double majoring in it. He is a great teacher who makes learning accounting a lot of fun. Even if you don't like the subject his classroom antics are so much fun that its worth coming to class.
TAKE HIS CLASS. awesome professor... funny, up to teaching.. class is never boring! Also, don't miss class. and homework is very important!
Great professor with stories from the world of accounting. Somehow he almost make accountant seem cool. Gets to know everyone in the class.
Will is a great Professor. Uses a lot of book examples and gives you plenty of notes. He hosts study sessions before exams which help a ton. Take him, you won't regret it.
Will is an awesome professor, makes class enjoyable.
Best teacher on campus. Only bus 204 teacher that actually teaches the material.
Big Will Morrison is the best professor at UW-Oshkosh. Accounting is the worst but he somehow makes his class extremely enjoyable and fun. He provides lots of examples and does review sessions for the exams.
Great Guy! So consistent
Will likes to get to know everyone which is refreshing. Material is tough and he doesn't do the best with explanations. Doesn't always like students to ask questions. Explains material quickly and moves on. Doesn't leave a lot of room for explanation of material.
HE IS A GREAT PROFESSOR. HE TEACHES WELL AND THE CLASS IS A LOT FUN ! HE IS A GOOD CHOICE FOR WHO REALLY WANT TO LEARN ACCOUNTING
Best professor at UWO. He is a great respectful guy who always cares about his students. He makes you want to come to class. 204 Is hard but he does his best to make sure you do well. Take him! If you don't you are really missing out!
Excellent professor, really kept boring material interesting and seemed genuinely concerned for students, got to know everyone and always willing to answer questions. Definetly not my favorite subject, but possibly my favorite professor. Not "easy" but realistic.
If you hate accounting take his class and if you love accounting take his class. He provides you with the tools you need to get through the class with a good grade, always comes to class in a good mood and makes accounting fun.
HEY WILL... I TOLD YOU MAN ! I AM GIVING YOU A CHILI PEPPER ! GOOD PROFESSOR... HE IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP STUDENTS
Gets to know each student. Gets students involved in class with examples and is a great person and professor! I hate accounting, but he made it tolerable.
Extremely Unorganized, Was not helpful with Gold Run activities. Did not do half of gold run when student's had problems he told us to ask the website. Never used the book only did in class examples. Overall, good teacher but Unorganized for Upper level accounting
this is the second time i've had will for a teacher and he great again. if you go to class and listen he'll tell you everything you need to know. i didn't take any notes but just listened and looked at the examples in the book and got an A. Gold run was tough but if you ask him a question he'll go through it with the class on how to do it.
Great professor. Keeps many things interesting because accounting can be quite boring at times. Was very helpful and really tried to get to know the students. Likes to joke around and FaceBook creep. Take this professor. Trust him when he says to do your homework because the repetition helps a lot!
I just finished my junior year and was dreading taking Bus. 205 b/c accounting is for nerds. This class was pretty easy, especially with the self proclaimed James Bond of accounting. The guy is funny and a good guy. Take him.
awesome professor, hands down my favorite. he knows every student, makes class interesting and fun enough to the point where i dont even want to miss. ALWAYS there to help
LOVE HIM! He was a great teacher and kept things interesting. He teaches the problems a little different than how it is on the exams but as long as you read and study the material you should be fine. ALSO the projects will help boost your grade even if your exams are not so good.
Awesome! He is more than willing to spend extra time to help students. He bought pizza for an extra study session before one of the exams. He cares about his students and enjoys teaching. It was obvious that he wanted us to actually learn the material so that we could use it in the future. He even does the MC Hammer dance. Take him for 204!!
Try to take Morrison if you're required to take BUS 204. I've heard horror stories about the other professors for this class. Good guy, a little bit too "frat boy" of an attitude for my liking, but he cares and that's generally a good thing to find. Tests often seem different from what you learned in class, though.
Great professor, always keeps class interesting. Material on tests is different from what's presented in class but if you don't understand something, he's extremely helpful. Make sure you take him for bus 204!
Super nice and funny but likes to embarrass students.
Morrison is awesome. I'm sure he never wakes up dreading having to work, he really loves his job and has fun. He actually learns all his students names, he is funny, and always has fun in class. I highly recommend him. The only thing that stinks is that the actual accounting course is somewhat difficult.
Awesome professor. He's makes accounting really interesting, but don't give him crap because he WILL call you out.
Morrison is funny and will keep you entertained during class. I found it hard to follow him in class because he was not well organized and did not present things clearly.
Super nice guy. He makes class enjoyable for such a hard subject. He sometimes wastes class time with group time, which doesn't help you learn. Although, most helpful professor I have ever had! He will go out of his way to help you if you have questions. The class is hard!! He does give a lot of extra points in class to help you with your grade.
I loved him. He teaches on a level that you can understand. Truly cares about his students and will do just about anything to help. Very funny as well, I didn't like the material but I looked forward to his humor every class.
Ol' Willie is a funny guy. It makes learning about ratios and capital budgeting more bareable. Overall though, he goes off topic alot which can be distracting sometimes.But he recently assigned a online hw software for everyone and its helped alot in learning the material. I recommend taking him!
Really Great teacher!!! He Keeps class entertaining and interesting. Take him at all costs, you wont be disappointed!!!
He's a great guy and really cares. Quizzes are easy but tests are rather difficult. He's the only finance professor to not allow a note card to be used for exams although hes the most interesting professor
Very good teacher. He always keeps you entertained. At times it seemed like he didn't know how to explain the material but you could tell he knows it.
Will is a great professor took him for both bus 206 and 207. The midterm is very easy because hes a generous grader, but the final exam thats worth 50% of your grade is a department exam and is very hard espically for Bus 207. Books are a must have.
Ole Will Morrison is an all American hero. This guy climbed the tallest mountain and swam the deepest sea. Awesome professor too
Cool guy. He knows his stuff, but he's not always great at explaining it. He's funny/entertaining, but he gets off-topic. The class is hard and you need to read every chapter (which is A LOT of reading). I feel like he didn't prepare us for the final AT ALL. He SUCKS at answering questions in a way that I could understand and I'm an ACCOUNTING MJR!
He's the Joe Montana of Financial Accounting and the Reggie White of Managerial Accounting. The one and only Slick Willy. With no prior knowledge about accounting this course can be difficult, but Willy will brighten the mood. Overall, a good guy and good professor.
'Ol Willy was a great professor. Down to earth and goofy which helps lighten the mood because we all know accounting can be a dry topic. He needs to rock the beard year round though....not just during winter. Class is tough but he cares about his students and enjoys seeing you be successful. Would definitely recommend.
Ole Will Morrison is the Man, great professor, you will learn. Easiness is less because class is naturally hard. Best professor I've ever had. Highly recommended for any accounting or finance class at UWO
Ol' Willy is the man! Utilizes text book. His exam reviews are good, you don't even need a notecard for the exams. Funny family man, had me laughing my butt of every class. Makes your time in class worth it.
Good Ole Morrison. He's a character alright. The class overall is hard but he trys to use real life examples and makes it as easy as he can. IF you like a professor who jokes around and acts like hes a college frat man... Morrison is the one for you. Good luck!
By the far the best professor that I have had in my time at UWO. I would recommend him over any teacher of any subject. Very good at keeping on track and maintaining the interest of the students, even though accounting is no fun.
Very good teacher and did an awesome job creating an interest in what he was teaching. Because of him I'm an accounting major and I owe all of my success to him. Also pretty easy on the eyes.
Good ol' Willie! He has been far my best professor at UWO. Very funny and helpful. Make sure you do the homework and prepare for the 2 finals which make up most of your grade. If you do that you will be just fine.
Will is an awesome professor/skier/trucker. You will learn a lot about the man and a lot about fellow classmates in class. He tries to get all students involved and is ready to help. He even provides a Skype address and Twitter page as well. It is possible to get an A+ in this course if you study the power points and treat class serious enough.
Morrison is an awesome professor. He tries to get to know every student which makes it easy for everyone to participate in class. He tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams and although they are hard you know what is going to be on them. Best professor I have had so far at Oshkosh.
Good professor. Easily distracted though. Does seem to really care about the field though. Lots of "real life" examples. Overall good guy but you will need to put in out of class effort and read the book (which is very well designed )
Morrison is a good person with a good personality. But the way he teaches accounting. It's just rough. The whole class struggled and there wasn't even a curve. Good luck if you don't like accounting and never taken it before. All the accounting teachers are tough.
Morrison is a nice guy but he is not good at teaching. He gets distracted very easily in class and doesn't prepare you well for the exams. Class is hard regardless but I suggest finding a different professor if you have the chance.
(1/3) Really great guy overall, you can tell he's passionate about teaching accounting. he isn't the greatest professor around, but from what I've heard, neither are the other bus206/207 professors. He warns you about the tests. Yeah they're hard, but you really need to hit the ground running the first week of class. I feel like thats where a lot
Will is a great guy, but a terrible professor. He barely teaches in class. He doesn't care how you do in his class. He was not flexible to see him during his officers. I had to read the textbook to learn anything.
Morrison is funny and good person but he's horrible at teaching accounting as all the other 206/207 teachers. Teach yourself and read the book. Get a tutor. Accounting teachers don't explain the materials, they just give you examples and you don't even understand the examples cause they don't teach.
For anyone afraid or nervous about taking accounting, I would discourage you from taking Morrison as a professor. Although a really nice, social, and outgoing person, he does not teach his students. He encourages memorization rather than comprehension.He doesn't seem to enjoy accounting himself, so I doubt he will be able encourage anyone else to.
Will Morrison is a good guy, but like most reviews for him he is a horrible teacher.He explains that even with a bad teacher students can't hold them accountable for not learning material.But what are we paying teachers for it they can't teach students material?I would not recommend to anyone that struggles in 206.
Not a very good professor. Doesn't get you prepared for the exams. Be ready to learn it all on your own, by reading the book or getting a tutor. Would rather get to know students instead of actually teaching the class. Take a different teacher
Willy was awesome! The accounting class is extremely hard all around and most people don't pass. No matter which professor you get, you will have the same issues. He's entertaining and understanding and gets everyone involved in class. IPlayed youtube videos & gave you his twitter. He may get side tracked but it'd be terrible without entertainment.
He makes the lectures fun.... but he likes to spend more time getting to know his students and brag about how much he can squat. As long as you read the book, take your own notes, and remember that during the fall Wednesday's are Ugg Wednesday.... you should be good
If you want to learn finance this is not the guy to take! He made a class I was looking forward to into a class I was just excited to be done with. Everyone likes a nice guy but come on your paying big money to be taught the material not to teach yourself.
The class is hard for everyone, Will makes it easier than most professors.
I graduated 2 years ago and I had his class 3 years ago. I see Morrison last year and he remembered my name. I told him I didn't like my job and he talked to a former student to get me a job at a different company making $10,000 more. I loved his class and worked hard, I got a B- in his class. If you suck, don't blame him, he is awesome!
William Morrison is really good at getting to know his students, and help them outside of class. He also is willing to be a reference for you while interviewing for internships. Exams are somewhat challenging, but his quizzes are easy. He's hilarious and good at getting homework back in a reasonable time.
Will Morrison is hands down funniest professor (human) in the world. Business 206 is a challenging two credit course so show up to class everyday! Yes, he does tend to get off topic in class, but he still teaches important information. Also, Morrison gets to know his students and actually remember them. He is an outstanding professor.
The ultimate professor to help you in fluttering your potential as a young business professional, he is there for you when help is needed and even there for you when help is not.
Will Morrison focuses more on joking around than actually teaching the material. If you take him, expect to read the book and get a tutor right away. It's a tough class, but I felt like i didn't learn anything I needed to to prepare myself for any exams. There's a few quizzes, but they're not too bad and he lets you know when they're going to be.
I love Professor Morrison! I would highly recommend taking a class with him. He makes learning fun and is always willing to help. My only regret is not taking other business courses with him
Great guy. great professor.
BESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST !
I thought that everything that was expected was made perfectly clear. Read the book, there are questions from the book that aren't covered in class. Do what you are supposed to and you will get a good grade. I didn't study more than 5 hours total for both classes combined and I got an A in one and a B in the other. Great professor!
Definitely one of the best professors I've had at UWO. Teaches you everything you need to know while making it a fun class as well. I knew going into this class that it was going to be tough but he made passing seem achievable to me right from the start. It's great having a professor who gets to know his students so well and shows that he cares.
Will is hilarious, He's the one professor that remembers your name three later
Ol' Willy (as he calls himself) is AWESOME! He's funny and makes a 3 hour class fly by. He's caring and learns about things you like! But BEWARE don't skip class HE WILL CALL YOU from a friends phone and ask why you're not there. Overall he is the best teacher I've had!!
Great professor. I had him for a 6PM-9PM class and it was the only class I looked forward to going to. He will learn your name and get to know you which is something special from a professor. He would even give me a ride home from school. Great guy and a great professor I will take him again if it's offered. O'l Willie thanks for the rides!
G.O.A.T nothing more needs to be said
Be prepared to teach a good chunk of the material to yourself out of the text book. Which isn't the worst thing in the world. Anyways, Morrison aka Ol' Willy is hilarious. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard in a class. Morrison is the only teacher I had at UW Oshkosh that took the time to learn everybody's name. Which I thought was awesome.
I've had Will for 3 classes, and will be taking a 4th in the fall of 2017. I think he is a great professor and will give you all of the tools you need to be successful. He will help you no questions asked, but you won't be handed an A in his class. You have to work very hard but it's due to the nature of the content in the classes he teaches.
Prof. Morrison is certainly a character, but it isn't necessarily a bad thing. He makes the class interesting and always attempts to keep boring topics light-hearted. He may not always do the best at explaining solutions to problems, but just speak up and he'll be more than willing to go through it again until you understand.
Cares deeply about every single student and is constantly making sure too talk to every kid during class (asks how they are, make sure they understood the examples). He makes it easy to pay attention for material that is honestly quite boring with his fun personality! I have never had a better teacher. Thanks O'l Willie for making finance the bomb!
Easiest essentials of finance professor by far. Funniest professor you will ever take
He's a super funny professor. He actually makes finance bearable... that being said, the material is still hard unless you're a finance major so it will still take work to study. your homework is all online using connect but the 4 exams count for close to 90% of the grade so you really need to know what your doing. overall, he makes class super fun
I can't say enough good things about this professor. He's truly amazing. I am not a finance major, but if he would teacher all the finance courses I would consider swiching my major because I liked him so much. Tests are moderately hard but nothing too crazy. He also takes the time to learn everyone's name in the class which is pretty cool.
Hilarious guy but not the best at teaching the class. If you have trouble understanding finance concepts, Will might not be the best professor for you. If finance is a breeze for you, he's a fun dude to have class with!
He's a funny guy
Does not use a textbook or slides, just pure lecture. Extremely hard exams with questions on it that will have only have been mentioned in passing. Often goes into side rants and shows up late to class.
Best teach I've ever had. Exams are stupid easy and he tells you exactly what you have to study. This class is difficult for anyone who doesn't show up to class. He's funny and makes class interesting. He keeps everyone engaged and thanks to him I know what a plethora is. As someone who doesn't know anything about Finance, this class was very easy.
Professor Morrison is literally the best professor I've ever had. I look forward to going to class because he is hilarious. It is a pit class so you are not required to attend; however, going to class will really help on the exams. I recommend studying the class packets and re doing the homework connects.
I don't know what everyone else is saying but Professor Morrison isn't good. He goes on side tangents all class and doesn't go over stuff at all, he just assumes you know it. His pit classes are so useless to sit through I did not learn anything this whole semester.
Going to class was rather pointless to me. He is a funny guy but gets distracted too easily. He will go off on a tangent for 15-20 minutes and expects you to stay over a minute or two to get the remaining material. I skipped the material for the final and taught myself using the book, and that was the exam I did the best on.
Never answers msgs, talks extremely fast in lectures, disorganized and goes off on random things during class. Only pretentious students think hes funny because they think swearing in class & being inappropriate is edgey and cool. Give me a break. Extremely hard class due to his teaching style. Gives me the impression he doesnt really care.
He is an incredibly huge jerk. He harassed me for two semesters but I had no other choice but to take him because he was the only professor offering the course. I've never felt more uncomfortable in a COLLEGE classroom, and no one has ever given me that much ANXIETY and trauma in class before. He targets students for no reason, especially women.
Will genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed; it is evident through his lectures and how accessible he is outside of class. He makes an outstanding effort to get to know every single student he has, in his class you aren't just a person filling a seat, he sees you as a person. Highly recommend him as a professor!!
Used to be good
Will is my ideal professor. He sets clear expectations and prioritizes students' learning but also knows how to lighten the mood in the classroom and have fun. He's approachable and easy to learn from. I like the structure of his classes. He teaches you the textbook definition but also shows other problems that reiterate what you've learned. 10/10
Absolute P.O.S. Thinks he is hilarious and continues to tell his bad jokes all of class even when nobody is giving him the time of day. He is more interested in talking about himself and other pointless material than actually helping students and giving them the tools to learn. Only gave a 1 because you can't give a zero. TAKE OTHER PROF!!!!
One of the best in the finance department. He's a fair guy and will challenge you to at least somewhat learn the material. His class uses McGraw-Hill Connect and then lectures with exams that aren't tough if you pay attention in class. Take this guy if you want to learn, you won't regret it. Also great for SMEF and FIN334.
He's the Man
This was the worst Professor I have ever had. If you want to
His lectures were extremely unorganized. He would have powerpoints, but go completely off-topic all the time and not cover everything. It was really difficult to know what to study for exams because he often didn't have any reviews and usually wrote up the test the night before you took the exam, so he didn't even know what would be on the exam.
WILL MORRISON IS A G!! He is honestly my favorite finance professor I've taken. Learns everyone's names and keeps us engaged. Gave us practice exams that were almost identical to the real exam which was the most helpful thing in the class. I though investment management would be a drag but Will made the class great. 10/10 highly recommend.
Unorganized lectures and does not teach what is on the exam. Better off reading the textbook than going to lecture
Absolutely ridiculous, I am a A and B student and in this class I struggled horrible. Not cause of me but the lack of structure in this class. Have a little structure please and maybe give us study guides or something. I really do wish professors like this would not have a job. Do something your good at.
This is the funniest, most caring, and best professor I have taken in recent years. While his lectures may sometimes stray away from the main materiel he makes class fun and enjoys teaching. On top of this he is one of the smartest professors in the college of business by far. Lots of homework, hard tests, but a great guy overall. Would take again.
He is a very fun prof. that makes learning fun. The class does go off course a few times but that usually tie back to real-world applications of what we are doing in class. He is a very understanding person who wants the best for his students. Willy Morr is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely fantastic professor. Cool dude. Finance is fun thanks to Mr. Morrison!
Morrison is a fantastic guy, funny, smart, and respected. He makes finance very fun but it gets to a point where it's too much fun. For a 1.5-hour course, he gets sidetracked very often and it becomes distracting after a while. This is a rare occurrence and in 9 out of 10 classes he's awesome. However his exams are a different animal.
Will is a great guy. He made learning about investing fun and this seminar course was a great experience. Also, he is hilarious and made the entire class laugh on a few occasions. If you want an easy A and learn about investing and stocks apply for SMEF. You learn a lot and get to hear from professionals in the industry too. 10/10 take Will.
Professor Morrison is a nice guy but not a great professor. Constantly gets off topic in class, talking about anything else he can think of. I had a hard time sitting in class knowing I was paying for it.
Morrison is a hilarious professor. He tries to make class interesting! Overall, this course is not that challenging. If you attend classes and take notes on what he emphasizes in class and review for exams and quizzes, you should be set up for success. There are a lot of calculations early on in the class that can be confusing.
I don't get why he has good reviews. In terms of being a professor, definitely would not recommend. He thinks he's a comedian but sucks at teaching. You will have to learn all the material on your own if you want to do well. If I'm paying money to be in your class you can drop the comedy act and try to teach something.
While Professor Morrison keeps things entertaining, the lack of structure can make it challenging. Consulting Unstuck study alongside the textbook helps stay on track.
I honestly liked him in essentials of finance. But now going more into the finance major, he's a terrible teacher. He barely teaches and gets extremely off track. He doesn't even know how to do some of his own problems. I think overall, there needs to be a change made in the finance department. The quizzes are ridiculous sometimes.
He barely even teaches. He messes up his own problems constantly. He gives 0 guidance on the quizzes. It could be some random statistic we talked about for a second or a problem from the beginning of the school year. I'm hoping I no longer get him for any classes. The dean needs to know about the way he teaches which I will be informing them.
His quizzes are very confusing and no guidance. He's a decent SMEF teacher but that's about it. Do better!!!!
Prof. Morrison is a mixed bag for me. He is a good person, but I feel that he gets sidetracked quite a bit. He also doesn't do the greatest job at teaching the material. Almost all of the time, I learned through self study and outside resources, as I didn't take much away from his lectures. The classes fly by though, so he doesn't make it boring.
He makes an effort to make lectures fun. However, be prepared for very difficult quizzes and exams which account for high majority of your grade. Doesn't provide much resources for studying and very few opportunities to improve your grade if you did poorly on an exam/quiz. I would not recommend this professor to anyone.
Morrison is a great guy. I personally was someone who struggled understanding finance but i met with him one on one a few times and he was very helpful. He's very funny. His lectures are definitely worth going to. Overall not an easy class as 90% of your grade is on 2 exams and 5 quizzes but if you show up and do the work you should be fine.
