    Quarter Taken: Spring 2021 Online
    Grade: A

    Professor Morris-Wright is caring and always be ready to help. Would like to take again.

    Quarter Taken: Fall 2020 Online
    Grade: A

    Taken during COVID:

    Morris-Wright did flipped classroom where we watched lectures and did weekly quizzes at home and used lecture time as more of an office hour/tutorial. I think this format really helped with getting material down at home which came easier to us and we could just ask questions at any point during the week rather than one/two allotted office hour sessions. I was really prepared just by doing all the homework and received my expected grade.

    Just be prepared with for the quizzes, I am pretty sure the curriculum format of the class has changed since I took it.

    I liked that everything was based on 3% outcome quizzes and final was worth only 10%

    The professor was very understanding and I really did enjoy taking the course with her. She is always willing to help and I think she broke down Linear Alg really well.

    Lectures are optional (just examples and explanations) and she posts pre-recorded lecture videos before every lecture. There are short pre-lecture quizzes and chapter quizzes regularly scheduled throughout the quarter. No midterm, and the final was pretty easy.

    This was the easiest math class ever due to the unique class structure, but I also learned a ton. There are no midterms and the final is only worth 10% of your grade. As long as you do the outcome quizzes and don't miss any, you can basically bomb the final and still get an A. Take this prof if you can.

    Love Rose! She gives outcome quizzes instead of midterms so your grade is weighted on 27 outcome quizzes instead of 2 big tests. Very kind professor!
