Professor Morrison is sweet, kind, and dedicated, which makes the class inviting. Her grasp of the materials is also impressive, and she often concretely contextualizes the course material in a historical sense. However, I left the class craving more content on the philosophical side of Buddhism which, unfortunately, just wasn't the focus of the seminar.

Professor Morrison is extremely helpful and accommodating. The class talks about different Buddhism traditions and Chinese philosophies. However, it is more of a historical approach rather than a philosophy one. The discussion is provoking and slow paced.

I had no prior knowledge of religion or Japan coming into this course - I am a STEM major who just needed the distribution requirements. However, I feel like I learned a lot and Morrison was incredibly good at teaching concepts that I didn't have a lot of experience with. There are 2 analytical papers, 1 research paper, and 2 short essays on readings, and no other graded assignments besides class participation. I did not find it super easy to stay engaged with the lecture but did still feel like I learned a lot.
