David Karol GVPT475 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/21/2023	He’s incredibly knowledgeable and really passionate about the subject + getting us to understand. Don’t listen to the other reviews. If you like the topic of the class, it won’t be difficult and you will definitely learn a lot. Readings aren’t as long or challenging as other reviews suggest. Quizzes are really effortless if you even skim the readings anyways.

Irwin Morris GVPT475 Anonymous 05/07/2012	This class was the absolute worst class I've ever taken at UMD. The lectures were very interesting and Professor Morris and his book are pretty interesting. But if you don't want to have 100 pages of reading a night (this is not an exaggeration) and take exams that are fair but graded entirely too hard, then do not take this class. The expectations of the teacher are really high and you will probably stress out all semester. There is also a long research paper that you will have to do.
Irwin Morris GVPT475 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/02/2008	This class was both good and bad. Lectures were very intersting and enjoyable, and Dr. Morris is a good teacher. But he very high expectations on his tests. The tests were given in 50 minutes, and even the people who finish before everyone stayed until the end. There simple was not enough time to do all he wanted. His defintions section is the worst because you literally have to mention EVERYTHING that was ever mentioned about it to get full credit. He did give a small curve, but it was if a certain percentage of the class does better than the current average, then there will be a curve proportional to that percentage.
