I'd rather have a root canal than sit through another one of his lectures. Nice guy, but man -- teaching ain't for you.

Comment:

Can make even the most dedicated and hardest working students despise this class. Old teaching style does not help as well. Can hardly fix a problem that comes up during the labs. On the bright side, at least he is retiring.

Lectures are long and boring. Interesting material, just not so good teaching style. Labs make you experience everything mentioned in lecture.

Comment:

Be prepared to understand law manuals, this is the way Murray teaches. He has to bell curve all test and exams. One student had 15 years in Network Operations and still could not follow his course. He teaches as if he was writing technical manuals.

His class has the least bearing on the Computer Science program ever. If I wanted to learn Novell I would teleport myself back in time twenty years.

Very good online information for students. Unfortunately, he stands there in class and reads from these same notes. Very helpful in lab sessions. Requirements for grading are very clearly spelled out in writing.
