Comment:

Quizzes and test were brutal. She is not a great lecturer but she knows what she is talking about. Gives out an insane amount of extra credit. Would take again because I took away a lot from the class and got a good grade, although it was hell.

Comment:

I took AP Biology in high school and managed to do well. I took this class again, and I regret it. This class was one of the hardest I have ever taken. You had to read the chapters and pretty much teach yourself. The grading is extremely tough and the tests are horrible. This class was extremely hard. I honestly feel like I didn't learn anything.

Comment:

I took this class years ago (1994-1995). Ms Murray was one of the finest professors that I ever had. She was tough but fair. She doesn't have time for people that do not want to learn. If you demonstrate dedication and a desire then she will respond in kind and go over and beyond even. Take her class, dedicate yourself. You won't regret it.

Comment:

Murray is knowledgeable and lectures are helpful. Expect to earn every bit of your grade. She will prepare you for upper level courses and advanced degree work. Do not expect the typical TCC easy A or B. Take her if you want to learn the material. I was able to make an A with time and hard work. Friendly, but not a pushover. Helpful, if asked.

NO. Just NO. Professor Murray basically tells you what you will need to learn, then you are left to teach yourself. That is really hard when haven't even ever heard of half the words.

Comment:

This class is not easy but if you show up and study you will have a strong foundation of knowledge for other science classes (chemistry, anatomy, etc.). Ms. Murray knows her stuff and I'm glad I took this class. I've gained more knowledge in her class than any other class I've taken.

Comment:

We had three lab practicals (extremely difficult) and only one exam. Half of the points earned were given the last two weeks of class which was frustrating. Professor Murray knows what she's talking about, but she is not my first choice as a teacher. This class is unnecessarily difficult. My grade is hardly on the cusp of passing. Don't recommend.

Comment:

I liked biology until I had this class. I should've followed the previous comments they were spot on. she spent more time playing online games than preparing us and most of our class did not do well. no prep for tests, and her questions are confusing. Nice lady, but shes not in it for the love of biology anymore and it shows. RUN!!!

Professor Murray leaves a lot of the learning up to you. I recommend you use Connect to study for the test. Overall she is a very knowledgable woman and is nice outside the classroom.

Comment:

Read previous reviews. She seems to have gotten a little better, but still VERY HARD for community college students. She does expect a lot. It's more like the classes I took at OSU. READ your chapters, utilize the CONNECT online tutor and make sure you know how to write clearly. Lots of extra credit, but lots of work too!

Comment:

Prof. Murray is a smart, caring teacher with high expectations of college students that are pursuing a degree in a scientific field. She has never been late to class. The material IS difficult, you do have to read; but her tests are full of gimmes with much extra credit up for grabs. Prof. Murray will make you use your brain; welcome to college.

Comment:

She is really confusing, and won't explain anything. She leaves you alone the entire time in lab and never makes it clear what she wants. AVOID HER CLASS! You will most likely get a bad grade or be forced to drop.

Comment:

She is not a hateful person she is just really confusing. Her class is like going through construction with no road signs. I wouldn't call weeding out killing people with hard extremely hard test with no sign what is up and what is down.

Comment:

This class is impossible. I understand weeding, but this is ridiculous. I have As in the rest of my classes, so I am not afraid of hard work but this is nuts. Leaves us unattended in the lab for hours. Makes students feel dumb for asking questions. Do not take this class.

She is consistently 12-15 minutes late for class. She does not give test out lines or study guides. If you have a question you are better off to get a tutor or google it.

I went into this class expecting to work, but this was just ridiculous. She was late to every class, we were left alone in the lab with NO help, and her tests/quizzes were impossible even after studying for hours. My advice just DONT do it.

Comment:

This is a WEEDING class boys and girls. If you are truely serious about persuing a degree related to science or medicine you had better be prepared to seek out a tutor and/or self educate on the subject. The one good thing about her classes are that it will tech you a great deal about self discipline and time management, but not much else.
