Reviews of professor Elizabeth Murphy

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The class was extremely boring but Murphy tried to make it engaging. It covers a lot and non of it is particularly memorable if you're not interested in archaeology. But, all the tests are online. The final project is was the majority of the grade and she gradely it pretty easily as long as it looked like you put a little bit of effort into it.

Dr. Murphy was an amazing professor! I really admired her teaching style and she showed enthusiasm and passion for the subject matter. Class consists of 3 tests and 3 papers. Tests are a breeze as long as you take very good notes, attend class regularly, and participate. Overall, probably one of my favorite professors at FSU. Highly recommend!

Bro trust me do not bother. If this class isn't mandatory for you DO NOT TAKE IT WITH HER! Nothing is ever a 100, easily the hardest grader I have ever encountered, and my application for grad school did not take her tanking my GPA kindly.Yes, she's passionate, but she will not excuse absences, even when there are extenuating circumstances.

I absolutely loved this course! Professor Murphy is SO passionate and knowledgable about the material. There is a lot of content to cover, but if you take good notes, the tests are very straightforward. She is also very nice, personable, and gives extremely detailed feedback. Overall I looked forward to this class every week and highly recommend.

Dr. Murphy was super passionate and I found her lectures very interesting. Pay attention don't skip and you'll do well on exams. Grading on writing and exam short answers were a little nitpicky but I found it helpful. She wants you to excel. 3 non-cumulative exams 3 writing assignments. Study guides were pictures from lectures but studying was fine

Dr. Murphy is a caring and respectful professor. Quite knowledgeable and passionate about archaeology. Attendance is mandatory and recommended as the tests are based on the lectures. If you show up and take decent notes, the exams are pretty easy. Lots of people complained about the class, but it was probably due to never showing up.

Hardest tests and requires so much studying

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Straight diabolical teacher. Every lecture is monotone and you wanna kys 99% of the time. She doesn't teach, just reads 10 PP slides for a hour. There are no study guides and she expects you to study mad PP slidebefore test which are graded as if she wants to fail you. Attendance is mandatory but going to her class will ruin the rest of your day.

The class material is extremely interesting, but Dr. Murphy doesnt know how to teach. Lectures are generally an hour of her speaking without allowing laptop or iPad use for notes. Her PowerPoint slides are in the hundreds, and the tests may only contain 20 questions, some of which which may not even be in the PowerPoint slides. Wouldnt recommend.
