Clearly very passionate about philosophy. The class is very interesting, he is very interesting to listen to. 
Tip:To get a good grade, do research outside of the given texts.

So much reading... 88 pages for a 10-point quiz. No assignments or tests, only 10-point quizzes every week, the only assignment is a 5000-word essay which you have the entire semester to work on. If you enjoy lectures where you sit and do nothing then you'll love this class, if you don't agree or understand the topic you'll be mind-numbingly bored.

Professor Murphy is clearly very passionate about what he teaches. I took Intro to World Religions with him and made not-very-appealing topics to me become much more interesting. He also provides excellent feedback whenever you need to. Like many of his classes though, it requires a lot of weekly readings for 10-point quizzes and long essays too.

Professor Murphy is great. You do need to make an effort if you really want to learn. There is a good amount of reading he sends you as he'll do in-class essays of everything covered from the previous in-class essay. He does a good job of explaining complex concepts so anyone may understand them. Great class and great professor.
