Reviews of professor Dylan Murray

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Murray is an okay prof to take pchem with as he tries his best to make the subject bearable. His lecture notes are pretty comprehensive but you should go to lecture for the participation. Final is just him using similar problems from the quizzes, so to do well on the final, redo all of the quizzes and understand how to do them. Good luck! ��

Fall 2018 is his first quarter in UC Davis, he tries his best to explain concepts well, but he's inexperienced and he made CHE107 as CHE110 series. The quizzes are tough and we only have 20minutes to do such quizzes; there are too much amount for the 20 minute quiz. I remember the first quiz's average is 6/15... Definitely avoid him.

His quizzes are hard and fast. Do the homework -- you're basically teaching yourself. You're totally screwed if you don't do the homework and ask questions about it in office hours unless you're a physics whiz. It's taught like a physics class. He is SO NICE but don't let that fool you. It was often curved so that 60/110 was passing.....

Curve and extra credits are generous. But the materials are hard. I will recommend you do most suggested questions in textbook to get A since he didn't post many practice problem sets.

The lecture is basically the textbook. It is extremely difficult to do well on his assignments, as his suggested problems weakly correspond to what will be tested. No answer key/solutions to correct your mistakes. Final is 60% of your grade, cumulative, and very difficult. I tired so hard but it was not enough, this class messed up my graduation.

For Fall 20, he taught asynchronously and used his class times for office hours. There were 5 quizzes with the lowest dropped and he did curve but this was a really difficult class. Youre better off teaching yourself with the book. Practice hw problems are kinda helpful. He has a horrible TA and can be very strict on grading through gradescope
