Reviews of professor David Murphy

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dropped this class halfway through the semester because the concepts were hard to understand and seemingly unrelated to each other. David is a hard marker, tells 1st years to expect 70s and comes off as prejudiced against 1st years. Went to a midterm Q&A and he basically just said what not to do and didn't give any examples of how to do well.

Best US History class I have ever taken. He provided online free text book. Lectures were great, funny, and engaging. He used very basic understanding of each subject, no elite type language.

Dr. Murphy is so funny. He comes into the lab with charisma everyday. Very approachable and loves to talk cars so be sure to hit him up if you want to talk about engines. Very big on the midterm and final. As a student I don't like going to lab however his looks make up for it. On a scale of 1-10 he's a 28. Not chili pepper, he's a ghost pepper.

Amazing professor. Makes learning fun. His lecture content is understandable and clear. He does not give brief feedback but is good and fair on marking--you have to work for it though. Clear grading criteria. He is very nice and respectable as well. I recommend taking him. So far, I have an 80% in his class right now.

Love this prof!! He truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He gives fair grades and has the easiest exams ever, and provides outlines for them! He definitely goes off topic and likes to talk but id rather listen to him than hear class content anyways lol

Best history professor i've ever taken. I'm so excited to take him again for History 1302 in the Spring since I already know how he teaches and I love his method. His online quizzes are 10 MC questions each and you have 2 attempts to take it and he takes the higher score of the two. His tests are 30 MC questions and 2 short answer but it's easy

David is super engaging and passionate about his work. I'm honestly not sure why he has bad reviews because I always found the class content super interesting. My only complaint would be that he can sometimes drag things on and usually goes right until the final minute squeezing in as much lecturing as he can in 3 hours which is a lot at times.

I love Dave, but man does he sure rants a lot. He cares for his students on succeeding in university, but he can be on top of his head. When I took NPF with him this semester, I thought it was going to be an easy elective, but I was wrong, as he barely posts the assignment details on d2l. Dave replied to my email in a rude manner for no reason bruh
