Reviews of professor Orla Murphy

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Absolute worst prof I have ever had. A friend and I would work together for homework assignments and have the same numbers but different wording to have our own work and she would fail me with comments like this isnt what I was looking for. My friend would have the same numbers but receive 70-80s on each assignment. Took online and got an A.

I've taken one course with this professor in my last year of my undergrad as a dean's list student for each of the previous years and barely passed this course. No matter how correct your answer is, it is still wrong in her opinion. She expects way to much, never posts proper solutions, refuses to scale no matter what. Do not take a class with her.

Plain and simple: I did not attend class often, and if I did, I didn't pay attention. I pulled out an A+ on her midterm, the assignments were easy enough. You'll do fine, but it isn't because of her godly teaching. She nitpicks a bit, make everything super clear for her, heaven forbid she has to read into it.

I was scared seeing the rating here before (was 1.8 before) and thought she was a horrible person, but turned out to not be the case. She is not the best at teaching since she is just a research fellow. The assignments and exams were reasonable and she organized 3 in-person sessions a week to answer your question. The attitude was really nice too.

She's a really sweet and helpful prof. Always accessible and willing to help. The course is tough and you gotta put in the work. She makes the tests fair though

Orla read from the slides. I didn't attend class a lot and I still managed to understand the content better then I would have in her lectures. you can definitely skip this class and still pass just make sure to do WeBwork and assignments. You will be alright kidletts. Also don't film her in class, save yourself.

Don't like her or the way she teaches, she gives off this vibe of I-don't-want-to-be-here. Also she likes to bombard her students with assignments like it's the only class we have. I literally never payed attention and learned the material afterwards and the tests/assignments were super easy.

Orla looks very threatening and like she doesn't care about her job in lectures however, if you schedule time with her one on one she is actually very helpful and pleasant. The issue is that so many people go during office hours because she does not explain during lecture. Tests are very easy but assignments are very nitpicky
