do NOT let this man teach anymore LOL, gave up on hwk like a month in and just.. never graded anything except the seatings (my final grade on canvas was about 1% lol), the tests were a mess (especially the first midterm), yeah wouldn't recommend him if you genuinely wanna learn about linear algebra because i know i didn't learn too much with him

He just released the final grades nearly two weeks after the deadline. He did not grade any tests, and I strongly believe that he just randomly assigned grades. I emailed him asking to see my test results, and also plan on emailing the math department if needed. Please avoid him at all costs, this is the worst class I've ever taken.

He grade slow, but honestly he teach well!!! I am taking 4b now, compare to my 4b professor, prof Morrison teach really good. The exam is kind of hard, but if you do study, at least you will know 1/2 of question. He curve, he did care student's grades. thanks professor, you just grade too slow that why yours rate is low.

WORST PROFESSOR EVER. He NEVER graded anything. All we got was the final grade (which came after the grading deadline), and we never got any HW or test scores back. How do I even trust that he graded correctly with how inconsistent he has been? The math department really needs to do something with this dude.

Genuinely the worst professor Ive ever had. 1/2hr late to first midterm with four assignments all quarter. We're days past the final, with no grades for ANYTHING. Repeatedly promised to grade first midterm all quarter. Has horrendous handwriting, super unorganized lectures, never got webwork to work, & did example problems wrong on many occasions.

WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD

Oh, wretched professor, with your careless ways, You sow despair in your callous displays, Your legacy tainted, your students scorn, For you, Morrison, the jest is born. In your realm of math, where chaos reigns, You leave us broken, with nothing to gain, But know this, Morrison, as you fade to night, Your legacy of neglect shall haunt the light.

Simply horrible. Actions speak louder than words, and oh my gosh does this teacher not know this. He's incredibly nice in-person but cannot keep a single promise. That's all I can say. I'm not being petty with this review either, because I am going to get an A in this class. Avoid. Just avoid.

DO NOT TAKE HIM! Literally the worst professor I have ever had. He has sloppy handwriting and gives poor explanations of confusing concepts. We're essentially going in blind to our final since he hasn't graded anything since week 2. Anything I have learned about linear algebra has come from youtube videos or our TA.

Finals week and he still hasn't graded anything. First midterm was exactly like practice midterm. Second midterm was very different from practice midterm. Illegible handwriting. Sometimes solves problems in lecture that have nothing to do with topics on exams.
