Rose Morris-Wright

Rose's course is slightly different than the Real Analysis that Steve Abbott teaches. The homeworks and grading is not as hard, but you learn just as much. You get into topological definitions which are super helpful if you are to pursue graduate-level math/stats.

The course content itself was fine. The real challenge was Professor Morris. She is NOT accommodating at all, even in extenuating circumstances or when working with ADA. She is also very mean. It felt like a hostile environment and a recurring threat to my will to finish the semester rather than a safe space to learn and grow. Every interaction with her tested my commitment to higher education. Overall, she was more of an arch-nemesis that was praying on my downfall than a professor. Every other professor I’ve had in the math department has been incredibly kind and supportive, which makes me wonder what administrative error allowed her to slither her way onto faculty. I can only conclude she entered the department through a clerical error no one has been brave enough to correct.

I thought this was a great course and I enjoyed taking it! I feel that Professor Rose didn't always teach the material in the clearest way, but at the same time I always came away from lectures and readings with a good understanding. The requirements for the in person/oral exams are always very clear beforehand, but she grades very strictly so it balances out well. I did feel like often the examination style lent itself more to memorization than creativity and intuition which I think should be the focus of this course, but it was never unreasonable.
