Do not take any classes that he teaches! You will regret it... worst professor on campus.

THIS CLASS CAUSED ME SO MUCH STRESS. He overloaded our class so much. We were learning chapters on weeks where we only had two classes and an exam. He only tells you the definitions, but never shows you how to actually apply anything you learn. It may as well be fully online because I have been teaching myself all semester. WORST class ever!!!!!!!

He is very quiet, which makes his lectures even more boring and hard to comprehend. His grading is very inconsistent, so much so that myself and two others who worked on homework questions together and had similar answers received three different letter grades on the assignment. I would not recommend this professor.

Horrible lecture, he doesnt explain well. The course made me feel like I was on my own teaching myself through everything. The class was extremely boring and difficult, making me dread going to class everyday of the week. We also had back to back homework and assignments to do without any breaks. I definitely wouldnt recommend this professor

Dr. Murayama is a very good professor and very approachable. He spends many hours preparing things for his class and his analogies make you think of things in a different way.

The material is challenging but Dr. M does his best to make it interesting. Read the chapters & finish HW before lecture, it helps. He is very accessible outside of class and will spend all OH explaining concepts if you don't understand. Challenging subjects but would take him again.
