Spring 2024 - Morgan is brilliant! Take her for the best intro to upper div math; she covered 115AH material up to the spectral theorem, but also would add elements of abstract algebra, calculus, etc. to lectures/HW/office hours. You should go to office hours, even just to talk more deeply about class topics! Her lectures are extremely clear and logical, and she posts lecture notes before class (attendance is "mandatory", but you should go regardless of policy). HW is long but essential to your success in the class. Discussions are also mandatory and essential to the class (covers additional content). Her exams are extremely fair and have averages in the 80/90 range, and she offered a small amount of extra credit during the course as well! Grading breakdown is forgiving with 20% per midterm and 25% final, and she also offers the "drop one midterm replace with final". Overall, expect to pay your dues in terms of time commitment, expect HWs to take 10-15 hours per week (typeset in LaTeX), etc. but you'll be heavily rewarded. It's a fast-paced honors class after all, but she is a brilliant lecturer, so caring, funny, and clearly gives her all into teaching; you'd be crazy not to love her.
