Comment:
This professor is very good about contacting students throughout the semester to make sure that they are on track in the online class. He is also very understanding if there is some sort of technical problem that occurs on the website. I fought with the website for a couple of weeks with no luck, and he allowed me an extra week to finish the class.

Murray is great professor and he is very wiling to work with you. His tests are hard and are based off a lot of reading, so plan accordingly to how you tackle the schedule. He is a tough grader on the Article Critique, be thorough and you should be okay. Besides a tough class, Murray is hilarious, interesting and loves to talk.

Took health and wellness online with professor Murray and he was very understanding. Read the chapters and do lots of highlighting to return to when taking the tests. Test times are reasonable and the activities are very easy if you are dedicated to passing the class.

Dr. Murray is an amazing professor! He is hilarious and really has a passion for what he teaches. This class is difficult and you have to be really self motivated to pass it. Chapter exams are every week and it is easy to get behind. Phenomenal professor. Definitely recommend.

6 chapter exams with 1 final exam over chapters 1-7. A graded activities book that's long, but pretty easy to complete. Diet Analyzer, must eat well to pass it. Actually read the book to be able to pass exams.

Murray is a great professor. He has a passion for his work and his classes, and that is clear in his lectures. He makes class fun and interesting, and sprinkles in a few personal stories that are hilarious. He's very helpful and understanding. Everything is due in December, so make sure you keep up with the work and don't get behind.

This was my favorite class this semester. Dr. Murray was very laid back and made the class fun to go to by mixing in funny stories. Easy to complete the quizzes and graded activities online as long as you don't leave them all for last minute.

He is a great professor, I took him for health and wellness and the class is online. You only have to go to lectures if you want. Always available for students- very ready to help you if you are having problems all the time.

If you are self motivated this is the class for you. He requires 8 tests, 1 Article Critique with a maximum length of 1 page, and 1 final. These are all due the last week of the semester so you can get them done whenever works for you. The tests are somewhat difficult but an A is obtainable if you read and go over the powerpoints. Would recommend.

As far as the online class goes, I was essentially turned loose to sink or swim. There were no deadlines, the course was clearly outlined, and the assignments were simple. Good way to get this class out of the way with a tight schedule.

I did this entire course in about two days. The course work is simple & so are the tests. The assignments are self-assessments with no right or wrong answers. WARNING! You will need a Windows PC to complete the final Nutrition assignment! I have a Mac and since I waited till the last minute I didn't have time to complete it elsewhere.

Professor Murray made me want to come to class because he always keeps it interesting and always has high energy. The tests are all online, but somewhat difficult. I would recommend Professor Murray to anyone who likes the funny, easy going professors.

This teacher is a liar. Ended this online summer almost 3 weeks early. I was told this was due to having to grade over 100 students assignments. Assignments had no right or wrong answers and the test was graded online. What a tool!

Took the hybrid Health & Wellness class. The class was actually a bit of work but doable in a few nights. Have to buy a textbook online for about 50 bucks. Dr. Murray is very knowledgeable, down-to-earth and all around likeable. He is the funniest teacher I've had in a while, and while his lectures weren't mandatory I wanted to attend every time.

He is awesome! Even though he doesn't care if you show up to class or not, I looked forward to his class every week! Always in great spirit, and makes the lectures fun and exciting! One of the best professors I've had at CMU! Do the work, and show up to class and you'll be fine! :)
