Reviews of professor William Murphy

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Rude. All the other BIMS320 profs have either open note exams or easier ones, especially during COVID/online courses yet he made his awful. Had to miss an exam due to illness and he told me I should have planned to be sick and would not accept a doctors note. DO NOT take him at all costs. If you are forced into his course I am so sorry

Billy is such a nice guy! It's lecture and content heavy, but he makes it fun, puts the slides online, and gives you study guides. He makes it very clear what will be on the exams.

Dr. Murphy is a great college professor that is very helpful to his students. He cares and tries to make them succeed.

This was one of the hardest classes I've ever taken. I filled out all of the study guides, but still struggled to pass the class. The subject itself is difficult, therefore, I would suggest to go to all of the SI sessions. He took attendance every now and then, but it wasn't mandatory. You will need to study hard to pass this class.

He doesnt explain things, he just expects us to know what were doing.

The hardest genetics prof. The other prof's class was apparently super easy and had open note exams meanwhile Murphy made us use Honorlock and was less than understanding when issues came up. His curve at the end of the semester was really the only helpful thing he did. Avoid him at all costs if possible.

Prob the hardest genetics prof. Most of your grades come from quiz and exams and he barely gave out any hw. His quiz and exams are hard but are reasonable if you read the textbook. Make sure to know the slides inside out to do well. The grade distribution this semester wasn't that good but he gave a generous curve in the end so most still passed
