Reviews of professor Dylan Murray

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He makes an attempt to make the material relevant and understandable. The tests are take homes tests, but they can be rough. For the final, you're allowed a page of equations and notes. Several extra credit opportunities. If you can, take biology (BIS 2A) prior to taking this course.

It was his first quarter teaching at Davis. Wasn't used to the quarter system; got very behind. Mandatory clicker. Literally taught the textbook at the beginning of the quarter. Quizzes every 2 weeks. Usually way too much material for a 25 min period. Quiz grades not updated until after Week 10; final was 40%. Curved hella because we all failed.

Murray was a great prof who tries to make the content fun and enjoyable. While the material is difficult, his lectures were very straight forward and the homework prepared me for the exams. OHs were more of a "I'll lead you in the right direction" rather than him answering the questions for you. Despite the negative reviews, I would recommend him.

The assignments were quite hard, but he offers tons of extra credit, and curve the class very generously.
