Comment:
He's a good teacher to take for Orgo. His lectures are exactly what's going to be on the exam, and he gives you two practices exams to study. Curved grade so 80+ is A, 66+ is B. Grade is based on 4-5 exams per semester

Comment:
Class can be boring but is very important. He gives you the previous two years tests. 81 and above is an A so it's pretty easy to get an A, but you have to put in a fair amount of work. Study the old exams a lot, he likes to ask similar questions

Comment:
Dr. Murray is a pretty fair teacher. He gives you the previous 2 years tests for each exam and the test you will take is very similar, though he did put some tricky questions on ours this year. Class is so boring and hard to pay attention to but you have to go or else you'll lose info you need for the test. He's pretty funny sometimes.

Comment:
His class is extremely boring, but it is necessary to attend. He is somewhat condescending and not really helpful when it comes to questions. However, he gives you past tests and his grading scale is very generous (80 and up is an A) so overall, the class isnt' too bad.

Comment:
His lectures are hard to follow just because most people have no background info about organic chemistry material, so be ready to teach yourself most of the material. Backtests are critical, and the new tests reflect 80% of the backtests. Heard mixed things about his lab section.

I liked Dr. Murray and I thought he was actually pretty funny. The class is hard and he goes through everything quickly. He's helpful and gives you test from previous years so you're familiar with the format. Just be prepared to study for a few days before the test.

Comment:
He is overall a good teacher. He tells you exactly what you need to do to succeed in his class, SO LISTEN! Once you get your studying down then the class isn't that bad. A little antisocial but otherwise he's alright in my book.

Dr. Murry is the man. There is just something about him. Like, you'll see him in the cafeteria and you'll be thinking "what is he eating? what is he reading." I WANT TO BE DR. MURRY! oh, just study for 9 hours for each test and youll get an A.

This class isn't easy, but it could be much harder. There are no surprises on the tests, especially if you buy the exams from previous years.

Great teacher- DO the problems in the book, at least 2 or 3 of them show up on the exams. and also do the old exams. Makes it as easy as O.chem could be. put in the time and effort and you should be fine

Considering that he teaches one of the most difficult subjects in college, he is an AWESOME teacher. Very well prepared for class. Tests are fair: ochem will always be a challenge but if you do the work you should be okay. Very helpful if you approach him
