Reviews of professor Maxwell Murphey

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Half of my assignments were not graded until literally the day after finals. Had an A for 90% of the semester, and he dropped me to a B last minute without any notes or reasoning as to why I have the grades I do. Everyone always mentions how he is a PhD student but that does not excuse being a negligent teacher with zero feedback.

WARNING! Do NOT take Philosophy 32 or Math 32 with Professor Murphey because you could end up receiving a D or an F. Get good grades in GE/major prep classes and skip Introduction to Symbolic Logic. He is clearly disorganized and is a tough grader. He expects you to follow directions on ALL assignments thoroughly in order to get a good grade.

He's writing a dissertation on Immanuel Kant. He is very busy but still manages to find time to meet with students. Will attempt to resolves issues very quickly. People who have left negative reviews previously may not have taken the time to speak with him on a more personal level.

I took Professor Murphey in his PHI-32/MAT-32 class in Spring 2018 and received a D. Unfortunately, I wouldnt take him again in his class because his assignments can be difficult as well, and so are his quizzes and his exams. He expects students to follow directions on ALL assignments thoroughly; if not, he will deduct points on any assignments.

I took Introduction to Philosophy with Prof. Murphy and it was a really interesting and easy class. He is passionate about his subject, and yes he can be disorganized at times, but he was really accommodating and you can tell he wanted to see his students succeed. He was a really easy grader and if you show up to class and read it will be a breeze

Murphey has a great mind and makes sure his students understand the material. However, he's not the most organized and gets sidetracked. He's also a PhD student, so he's not quick on getting back to you. With that said, I would take his class again now knowing how he operates. It's a little wonky at first but you get the hang of his flow.
