Reviews of professor David Murphy

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Easy grader. Here's the skinny on how his gradebook is set-up: homework: due every lecture period. quizzes: due weekly over the lectures/chapters covered in a week. discussions: due bi-weekly. 4 posts total. Final: minimum 500 word essay. The class is very boring. Gradebook is designed terribly and 2 zeros will drop you a letter grade.

Hes a kind guy, but this course was awful. The concepts were hard to understand because he talks so fast in lectures and doesnt write enough information on slides. Marks visual essays tough and its so funny cus its just a bunch of photos. Tells you to expect 70s on work assignments as if thats normal. Did not enjoy at all. Exam was long af.

I had Professor Murphy twice this Spring for History 1 and 2, as a flex course and I have to say, I enjoyed his class. His class was fairly easy. Just go to class take notes on his lectures and everything he goes over is everything you need for test and assignments.

Professor Murphy is awesome! Took this as an 8 week course and learned a lot! This class is not too difficult but it requires a lot of reading and writing. Most of the homework and exams are written responses but as long as you've done the reading you should be A-Okay! Overall, the structure and design of the class is great. Highly recommend!

Murphy is hands-down one of my favourite profs at Ryerson. He made my 3-hour lecture go by in a jiffy. His content always was a launchpad to a lively discussion among the class. He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Murphy is an authentic man. You won't regret taking his course.

It's IMPOSSIBLE to fail this class!!! this has to be the best History class ever. Assignments were not overwhelming, multiple attempts to increase your initial grade. Power point lectures were humorous and memorable.
