Comment:
This had to be the hardest class I have ever taken at UT, but I also learned more as well. He expects a great deal from you as a student, but he goes out of his way to make sure that you are grasping the material. He is by far the best professor I have ever had.

Comment:
Deciding to take Historical Methods with Murphree has become the single greatest regret of my college career. His methods class is at least twice as difficult at Falzone's. You better drop all your other classes if you want to take this guy for Methods and still maintain a good GPA!

I actually learned alot in his class. His tests are very difficult..essay. But if you listen in class and take aLOT of good notes, you will do fine. He is also very helpful in his office hours. I would recommend writing out the essays before the exam (he gives you the questions) and just study your essays. A great teacher and nice guy.

Extremely pompus. This professor made me change my minor. He does not listen to reason, it's his way or no way at all. Do not take this professor.

He is a very good teacher, very detail oriented. You take alot of notes, but it is worth it. His tests come directly from the notes. He is also very helpful and a down to earth person. He does look for alot of detail in his tests though and they are all essay, no multiple choice.

Comment:
One of the best teachers on the UT campus. You won't do well on the first test, but once you figure out what he wants you to know, studying becomes much easier. Dr. Murphree is easily the most fair and evenhanded History teacher I've had. Great teacher; Paragon of fairness; take him if you get a chance.

Great class!! He is very helpful. I highly recommend him, but take good notes and be prepared to learn. He is very clear about what he wants for the tests. (As for the previous post... this is college not high school!!)

someone needs to tell this teacher that this is a FRESHMAN history class!!! You literally have to study 48 hours to pass his test. Yes I timed it! He give you 6 sections of very long notes to study & only includes half of the info on the test that is v

I love this man. One day I just sat in his office and talked to him for about 3 hours about my life and what was happening in it. He listens and is very friendly. He teaches very well and his tests are all essay. He gives a lot of credit to you if you try really hard on your tests. I took the final test and didnt know anything and still made an A.

Comment:
Age of Washington, Jefferson & Jackson. His lectures are the best! He has a lot of good info and is very organized. Not easy! He grades papers and tests very hard. It is difficult to complete tests in the alotted time. Regarding tests, he is very clear on what is expected. You will be told exactly what the answer should include. Leave nothing out.
