Avoid taking this teacher if you can. Likes to put people down and the class is set to fail from day one. This class was waste of money and time.

Comment:

Her class was unnecessarily difficult. Murray's feedback only tells you what you did wrong with her rude comments. She does not help you to become a better writer, shes very discouraging. You will regret taking this class.

Comment:

I found that her class was unnecessarily difficult. I used to find joy in English, but this class sucked all the optimism I had for the subject out of me for the semester. I didn't find her feedback very helpful and was actually more of a "what" you did wrong instead of "why" it was wrong. Also, she could be a little bias. Wouldn't recommend.

Comment:

Sign up at your own risk unless you want to to class to listen to her personal life boasting of academic achievement(she does not have PhD)how many push up, how many miles bike ride she could do. When you ask for guidance she would be little you. Btw, bad teaching programming.

You will regret taking her class. Trust me! I've never dreaded going to a class as much as hers. She doesn't put any effort into creating a comfortable learning environment & complains when you ask for further explanation on assignments.

Comment:

This professor is by far the worst I have ever had at lbcc. She is a hardcore feminist, rude, arrogant, and harsh at times. As well as discusses her political controversial views throughout class that to some can be quite offensive and in no manner should they be discussed in an academic setting. I dreaded taking this class the entire semester!

Comment:

You receive a detailed syllabus at the beginning of the course so you know what's due each class meeting. 4 major essays with outlines & rough draft/peer edits, 3 in class essays, 2 extra credit opportunities, & pop quizzes based on readings in the beginning of the semester. Overall fairly doable but you definitely work for your grade.

Comment:

I don't understand why she has so many low ratings. I guess maybe she's different with her honors classes. Having Prof. Murray was a wonderful experience and I have nothing but good things to say about her! My writing has improved drastically since taking the course and I have become much more confident in my academic abilities.

Comment:

I am a psychology major, but I do not need to fulfill the education in order to analyze this individual. She does not belong in the education field as an instructor, students need guidance and not humiliation nor listening to an egocentric, who is more interest in showing off and inconsiderate to their need. Why does LBCC still hiring her?

Comment:

This woman is a very aggressive and egocentric person. She is a very tough grader and doesn't give good feed back. She can be a bit on the mean side. I wouldn't recommend taking her again, it was not a good experience. Be careful

Comment:

This class is highly recommended for those in a English major. If you are in a different major you may struggle a bit because there is a lot of literature analyzes. Follow the syllabus schedule because it is like the holy book that will guide you to success. Beware of pop quizzes on weekly readings, 2 essays, midterm & final. Any textbook ed. is

Excellent professor! Definitely not an easy A, but it is incredibly rewarding. She provides great feedback is very accessible after class. She seems to genuinely care about her students and is willing to help you if you need assistance. My writing has improved drastically since taking this course. I have nothing but good things to say about her!

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. She is the worst teacher EVER! I got a B in her class, but it was very very very hard to achieve. She grades SUPER hard and is not thorough with essay requirements. Her lectures are irrelevant to the hw & goes off topic 80% of the time. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM HER CLASS AT ALL COST.

Comment:

I was very skeptical to take this class due to the fact she has such low reviews. However, I went through and took the class and absolutely loved it!! Hard greater but it makes you more proud of the grade you earned! Lectures are cool because she relates to everyday stuff. Very organized and structured class. I hated outlines b4 & now I love them

You live your life, stories then told from experiences. But if they were published then why does a person who spent one semester with you claimed for the credits and bragged about it over and over, it doesn't make sense, but that's how Alison Murray or Pop does. Does she know that a book is cooked by a team that is bigger than her.

Comment:

She is by far one of the best, well-rounded English professors I know. She will change you in one way, and she changed my way of writing. If you really want to improve your English writing for the sake of your future, take Professor Murray. I'm not saying she's easy, nor is she difficult, but she will teach you things that you may overlook.
