I took his class online and it was really easy. He graded pretty fast, and he was clear about what he wanted in the assignments. There is a lot of textbook reading involved, but honestly thats all you need to read to pass. The tests were open book and pretty easy too. Easy A if you don't slack off, and an easy B if you do.

Comment:

This class was kind of dumb. Very old fashioned; does not post anything on My Courses and everything is turned in by hand. No power points, just lectures the entire class. He is also one of those teachers who puts in 0's for everything at the beginning of the semester. I would have had an A if it weren't for the last two tests killing my grade.

Comment:

If you want to learn about ethics, this isn't the course for you. However, it was a very easy class to receive an A. Very little assignments, everything is an easy A if he grades it. Exams are only 25 questions, but he goes over the exams as a review. Talks a lot, and has a lot to say, but often not about ethics.

Comment:

I took Ethics online with Kevin Murray. It was a pretty easy and straightforward class. The class consisted of discussion posts, quizzes, 3 essays(250-350 words) and a midterm and final. If you did the assignments with the proper word counts its an easy A.

Comment:

Professor Murray is great instructor for this type of course for anybody needing to take Ethics. He does talk a lot but most of the information he lectures about is mostly on his exams. Exams are not the easiest, but are capable of passing. You need to read the text, no matter what! He also shows 3 great movies during the course. Highly recommended

One of the best professors I've had so far. Offered pre-recorded lectures on most modules. The writing assignments were a breeze with low word counts required. Tests were simple. Extra credit offered. Graded everything quickly.

Comment:

his class drags on because he talks A LOT and often not even about ethics... and he's also monotone which personally drove me insane. BUT, it was a suuuper easy A, he takes assignments late, retake a test to replace lowest test grade, and barely any assignments period. easy easy A, just have to put up with a boring lecture

He is a great, intelligent and experienced man. He is fair and caring. He had lost 2 close family members during the semester and still came to teach us through that. He is an inspiration!

Comment:

Prof. Murray is a very nice person and he is really willing to work with due-dates/late work, and he you can tell he does truly enjoy education. However, i did find his class to be void of structure and clarity, and I did't really find myself enjoying this class. He babbles a lot and the class can feel very long. I wouldn't take him again.

Mr. Murray is a great teacher, I easily felt that if I needed further explaining that I would receive the info I needed. He is so dedicated to helping you get an A in his class. He always goes by the book in his lectures and the tests are challenging at times. I'll always recommend his class, you don't need to worry about a mid-term or final here!

Great teacher and unbiased in his lectures. Overall very relaxed and there for you. He follows the syllabus and is an easy grader on writing assignments (which made me happy). Make sure to read Chapter 5, 6, and 7 for the CTAP. There is 4 exams (multiple choice), 5 short web reports, mid-term CTAP, and no final.

When you have questions, the teacher answers in a sarcastic way, not professional.

Took the summer course, beware a lot of work. A LOT. Open book tests, your fault if you fail. His only request is no help from other students unless specifically instructed. The course is an easy A, has a test each week, a two paragraph essay, QA from the book, and discussion forum. I would take him again.

His class is full so expect to study, but if you turn in assignments on time and actually put effort into your studies it is an easy grade. He reads and gives feedback for all questions and most reviews. I would absolutely take again.

I loved this class and teacher. There is a ton of work but he gives you plenty of time to get it done. He gives great feedback and replies back quickly anytime you need to communicate with him. Stand up guy, but an even more amazing teacher. One of the best professors, I have had the pleasure of being taught by.

Do the work and you will get an A. He is a very good guy and gives you an extra week for each module. There is no reason anyone should get below an A in this class!
