I would say Morris is the best Professor for diff eq. Her quizzes were the most fair and her detailed section notes with examples definitely helps with understanding the material. The class is a pain in the neck and isn’t easy, but take it with Morris if you can.

Professor Morris is extremely kind and loves her students. And she loves her job and is good at teaching. But that being said, she was very disorganized on certain things. The schedule felt like it was constantly changing, and on Zoom, her kids would constantly be yelling in the background or interrupting her while she was teaching. I don't have anything against that necessarily, but it got very distracting sometimes. The content is pretty tough, but Morris has office hours and is very helpful. I just really had a tough time in this class, but it is manageable if you are on top of things.

The best math course at UVA! Professor Morris cares a lot about her students and was very accommodating when we switched to online course.

I love Professor Morris. She is the best teacher for this course, and I highly recommend taking this class with her if given the opportunity. The explanations make sense and she will help with homework as much as possible. 10/10!

Professor Morris is my favorite professor at UVA. You can tell she really cares about her students, and her first priority is for them to understand the context. I highly recommend going to office hours, even if you don't have any questions. I went many times and just did my homework or webwork there because if you ever get stuck professor Morris explains things so well.

Morris is an absolute rockstar. She cares about her students and takes the time to learn your individual learning style if you go to office hours frequently enough. Diff Eq was definitely the most applicable calc class for engineers, it's really easy to see how the theory applies.

Diana Morris is the best professor in the math department. She gives handouts, practice tests, lecture notes, group work. If you go to class and pay attention, you'll have a really easy time with the tests. She actually goes over the material and examples which is a lot better than most of the other apma professors.
