Reviews of professor William Murphy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Murphy was a great prof, although he is probably one of the harder profs for BIMS genetics. 90% of your grade comes from exams and the final, but take the HW and quizzes seriously because they can make a difference. I like how he structured the course with more homework at the beginning and transitioning into more quizzes. He is a fair grader.

Excellent at engaging students in class, and encourages critical thinking

Definitely the hardest BIMS 320 prof. Gives half as many A's out as the other bims genetics profs so try to avoid if you can

Be prepared to be attacked after you answer any of his questions. Participating in class discussions is very important and he can be very rude at times. I once asked him a question about writing an essay we were working on and he told me to ask someone else. Smh

He thinks he knows me and he doesn't.

When: Fall 2018 (online) Suggestions: Give prof Murphy a phone call at the beginning of the semester, so that you are clear of his expectations. After speaking with him it made my assignments easier. Truly a nice and caring prof, unlike most I have had so far. Important: Make sure you know ALL about commas and a TRUE understanding of plagiarism.
