CollegeProfessor Morris knows Journalism. She doesn't take BS and will push you to do your best. Having her as a teacher made me grow as a writer and I would only recommend taking her classes if you genuinely want to be challenged and pushed. It's a fair amount of work and she can be tough so be prepared.
Similar to what the other review said, Professor Morris REALLY knows Journalism, and she really does push you to do your best. Her feedback on writing is very helpful, and I feel like I really have grown stronger as a writer. I also agree that it is a fair amount of work, but not too much where you will be stressed out.
I've had two classes with professor Morris and I don't mind having her as a professor at all. Her bluntness can seem really rude at first, but talking with her after class/during office hours about work helps. She knows journalism and what she's teaching really well, so her class is hard, but you'll learn a lot if you pay attention & put in work
She's rude, is not a good communicator. She misses things and blames them on her students. Overall she is just super rude.
