The math department just verified that the prof never graded midterms, finals, or HWs and randomly assigned grades off of a single webwork assignment. Check UCSB Reddit for the entire email sent by math dept.
This class is very conceptually heavy and Morrison could have doe a better job explaining the vocabulary and abstract math concepts in the class which I had to supplement with youtube videos. He wants his students to succeed. The first midterm was easy but the second and final were much more challenging so don't be fooled like I was!
1st midterm was very easy, but the 2nd and 3rd were more difficult. Make sure you do the homework, as that's what truly helped me learn linear algebra.
Nice professor! Don't be disguised by his previous ratings.
Linear algebra is not easy. He's very smart, but unfortunately he's not a good lecturer. MAKE SURE you take notes by yourself on the section he will teach prior to every lecture. The online homework and CLAS are very helpful and practice the problems when studying the midterms. I got an A in the class, if you put in the work, you can get an A.
He seems like a nice guy but he can't teach at all. He doesn't seem to get straight to the point during lectures and more than half the time I have no idea what he's talking about. Sign up for CLAS it will save your life. Also his handwriting is terrible so if you don't listen closely you'll be lost.
