Reviews of professor Brendan Murphy

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Murphy is a really nice guy. He's not a bad teacher, but Dr. Murphy is one of those teachers whose tests that are almost impossible to do well on. I don't know why professors do this, but something is obviously wrong when the class average grade is 60% on the tests out of 200 students in an Introduction To Geography 1000 class. SUPER HARD CLASS

Dr. Murphy had all the right intentions but went about them all the wrong ways. He was passionate and fun about a not too interesting topic. The problem was the way he designed the course didnt motivate learning, but memorization. The first test was over more than 15 chapters or 200+ pages in the textbook. Good guy. Hard class. Little learning.

He is really smart and knowledgeable in his field. However, the tests are pretty hard and you have to study a lot or else you won't pass them. He does clicker questions so attendance is mandatory. The SI sessions are really important to review and study too. It was just harder than a 1000 level class should be.
