Reviews of professor Manjari Murali

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
In my opinion, the lectures were the most effective aspects in promoting learning. Although the homework and quizzes tested me, most of the information that was found on the quizzes and exams were found in the slides. These slides were very easy to navigate and understand which made it easier to study for the course.

Although lab was online due to the pandemic, I learned a ton through the videos and exercises that we did. I think the course materials were formatted well in a way to still get all the concepts across. Dr. Murali clearly communicated during lecture and all assignments were detailed out in advance which I appreciated.

Dr. Murali provides lots of detail on each topic and repeats a lot to ensure we get the information.

Dr. Murali is a very clear lecturer. Her slides provide students with a very clear expectation of what might be asked on the exams. Her exams are very fair as a result. While some questions might ask students to think critically, they are never far-fetched. Dr. Murali has been very supportive all semester, and makes time to clarify doubts in class.

Dr. Murali is an extremely tough grader who is unwillingly to work with students on concepts that they don't understand. Her lectures are very long when you were required to read all of the material prior to class for her quizzes. Do not take this class because it is impossible to get anything higher than a B.

The lectures and Jamboard assignments helped me understand the material since it provided detailed and labeled diagrams that I could look back at while studying.

just take Richards or wilson or literally any other lab instructor. She's a nice person but her lab is way harder than the other instructor's quiz wise.

Very organized and well presented lectures. Highly impressed with Dr. Murali's ability to jump in to teach when the professor originally teaching this course needed to go on medical leave. She is kind and brings great energy to the classroom along with her knowledge. Thank you for a great semester!

Dr. Murali is awesome. I took non-majors physiology with her during Inter term. Her lecture slides were clear and detailed. We had daily quizzes on Canvas, and our lowest 2 quiz scores were dropped. There were 3 exams, and we could submit a case study report for extra credit. Class discussions were fun. She covered a lot in a short time.

Dr. Murali is a great professor for Medical Terminology. While the homework can get long, she makes the classes digestible and her slides are really good to learn from. The quizzes are also very easy and low stakes, since the class is pass no pass. It does feel long at times but she does give ample breaks.
