== What Others Say ==
Dr. Morris' speaks with a slightly small voice, but the passion can be seen in his eyes. He has a good sense of humor ([http://www.calpoly.edu/%7Eadmorris/ADMPortrait.html see his website portrait]) and a story telling style that facinates you through class.

East Asian studies also go hand in hand with anime. Many stories, such as [[Rurouni Kenshin]], are set in a historical period. Knowing more about these periods makes the anime all the more interesting.

In one history class, he was talking about how Samurai Warriors turned the religion Zen Buddhism into rutuals for battles. He then made the offhand remark how unfortunate that was. I asked him "How can you say that as a history proffessor? Aren't you supposed to be impartial?"

His reply: "I don't pretend to be unbiased. I am human, and humans are biased by nature."

The truth of these words struck me, and I'll not forget them.

I highly reccommend taking any and all classes you can with him. Heck, you've gotta take a history credit sometime, right?
