Pedantic & uninspired ~ high school teach. Prof gave away MANY xtra cr points on exams - people still failed. Lectures geared to exams, but still structurally muddled, & s.t. inconsistent with the text. Exams s.t. had Q's not covered in lectures or txt.
very uneffective teaching style
Very poorly with explaining Economics clearly, and only gives lectures and speeches and assigns 4 testes throughout the semester and determines your grade based on those three test scores, b-cuz he drops one, but test questions are tricky and difficult
just 2 hard... he's got a terrible accent. started d class with 23 ppl, within a week there were only 8... dont even think of taking him

Difficult class! I managed to do well with many hours of studying and diligent note taking, unlike many classmates. Prof is hard to understand. Aggree, test questions are not easy. Questions are not limited to material covered in class. Read...read...and then read some more! Good luck!
HORRIBLE + HARD TO UNDERSTAND
Very DIFFICULT class... Speaks with a THICK accent... Exams are too hard... Try taking another professor if possible... A lot of people will either fail his class or drop it, as I did.
WORST TEACHER
Lectures are often not related to the material and hard to understand. The main textbook is only available in the library and about 50 years old. He seems nice enough but I would not never reccomend his class.
horrible teacher, if you have him, drop him!
He seems like a nice guy and is willing to help, but I couldn't understand a word he said and he spoke as if we had previous education on econ when really, most of us had no exposure.

This is by far the worst teacher at Montgomery college. It is so hard to understand him with his accent and he always sounds like he is yelling. He spits when he talks and doesnt go over in class what you are tested on. He is horrible!!!
too difficult to understand and too boring to stay awake, but he's so loud it's hard to fall asleep. good thing another prof is available for this class now.
HE IS NOT CLEAR IN HIS TEACHING...VERY NOT UNDERSTANDABLE AND I DOTN RECOMMEND ANYONE TO TAKE HIM COS IT IS A FOR SURE FAILURE...TRUST ME...I AM TALKIN FROM EXPERIENCE BUT THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT I DROPPED THE CLASS BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE
Test questions dont always apply to assigned/lectured material. Entire semester grade is based on 4 exams (no room for student error). Does not go over exam with student. allows student 5-8 minutes to review graded exams before he snatches them back from you because he is so worried about losing the question bank validity. exam questions unclear
That class sucks. THe guy is horrible. YOu can understand him at all and his tests are sooo hard.DO NOT take his class its now worth your time, money and effort
there is one sentence that describes this professor. He should be FIRED!!!!!! you are honestly better off reading the book and taking a distance learning course. I got a B in the class but was no thanks to him. He is an angry man, with little passion to his job and has no lesson organization skills. Needless to say he needs to enroll in en001
He's a very nice man, but the worst teacher ever. It's hard to understand him because of his accent. Oh, his exams, they are HARD.. take good notes and raed the book over and over and over again, that's the only way you'll learn in that class.
Just don't do it. I tried so hard in that class. Even worked with him outside of class and still could not pass his class with the grade I wanted. Its his tests! They are unclear and he doesn't go by the book and his teaching is unclear that it is hard to go by his notes to study. If you don't pass the mid-term drop it, b/c he/it won't get better.
he makes macro econ so hard for no reason. if you want to do well in his class, get a grasp of his tests early on in the semester cuz in his class, its not what you know, but whether you know how to pass his tests. he gives no help on past tests and your best shot is to get a quick grasp of how he sets his questions!!! otherwise drop it!!!!
WORST PROFFESOR EVER. HE MAKES HIS CLASS VERY DIFFICULT. HE HATES TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND MAKES STUDENTS WITHDRAW HIS CLASS. DON'T TAKE HIM YOU WILL FAIL.

The worst instructor ever-He made me cry in class. He was rude and even cruel. I got a B in this class, but I could have gotten an A with a little bit of extra help. He did not allow questions in class and anything any student said was automatically wrong. I complained to the dean about the hostile learning environment
DONT TAKE HIS CLASS! In the beginning of the semester there were approx. 35 people in the class. After two weeks there were approx 15 people coming to class. After Mid-term i was among the 5 people who came to class. That tells it all. By the way i heard 2 people passed that class with B and the rest all C
I have no idea how hes still there. That guy should be fired... He humiliated me for asking questions in class when i had doubts. He is so rude and he doesn't go by he textbook. everything in his tests are i dunno from where. before every exam he yelled out 10 times to practise all the diagrams and hardly gave 2 diagrams in couple of the exams.

Professor is hard to understand at first, but then once you get to get used to his accent, YOU'RE FINE! He's actually really good and organized in his teaching and as long as you read, do the exercises and TAKE NOTES, you're good to go. It's all common sense, really.
The worst teacher
shabushashimutiyimomo......hell talk so fast that his sentences become one funky word. if you ask him to repeat what he said..."I JUST WENT OVER THIS!" i dont know what his deal is. seems to be a good guy but an **** of a professor. there are other professors out there that teach econ 201. take them. ("shagumambatuminocisgosstumbler" -henry)
Professor Henry teaches in such a way that can leave you either clueless or enriched. He often flipped concepts presented in the book around, but good luck understanding him or getting him to explain it further. He rebukes all questions. Hard class. Hard teacher. Easy course work.
he's got this accent which makes it hard for anyone to understand and he's very fast. i seriously dont recommend him. he's tests are hard that have nothing to do with the text book. dont take him!!!
Don't take his class. His lecture is hardly related to the book and very hard to follow. His tests are impossible and are not based on the text book, some on his lecture notes. I feel like he brings a different classes test because I have never seen he material before.
Hes the worst teacher ive ever had. If you want to pass your classes dont take this guy. He doesnt speak clearly or slowly, and he gets angry when you dont understand him or know the answers he wants.
HARD TO UNDERSTAND!! Hated me for asking question. Things were on the test that were never discussed.
Don't take his class. Even though that he drops the lowest score of 4 exams, you are still easy to get a low grade as his exams are so hard. It is nothing related to the text book and his notes. He is rude and impatient.
his teaching is so bad
He is real old school, mumbles way to fast. most questions on the test does not relate to his lectures, and you have to really study the extra mile finding your own resources. If you take his class get an auditor to monitor his lectures.
By far, one of the worst professors I've ever had. His lectures had nothing to do with the textbook and his exams had nothing to do with either his lectures nor the textbook. He mumbles very loud when lecturing and it is almost impossible to understand him. I pray to God no one has to bear a full semester with him. It was pure hell for me.
He is a slow teacher, the first day of class and I could not focus. so yea I dont recomend all these comments i think will explain better
this professor is hell to me. Take his class is synonym of failure.I dropped his class after having 1 D and 2 F's. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. he is the weakest one ever.
His lecture is very hard to understand. Exam is unrelated to the text book.Most students drop their class after midterm.Don't recommond you to take his class.
I beg you... don't take this class. This guy is horrible. My GPA coming in to his class was 3.67... and now my chance of getting into the school i wanted is ruined for the coming semester, thanks to this guy. His book contradicts his lectures and he passes out no hands outs or practice problems. he even made a girl cry in our class. jUST hORRIBLE!!
Good Lord, where to start? His accent is too thick, and his voice is too deep making it difficult to understand anything he is saying. He doesn't teach out of the book, rather pulls things out of his ass. Although he is a nice man, he is not a good teacher! so don't take his class! Just don't do it!!!!!!
tHIS MAN IS HORRIBLE. HE TEST YOU BASED ON HIS LECTURES WHICH ARE UNCOMPREHENSIBLE. BOOKS THE ARE REQUIRES AREN'T HELPFUL AT ALL. fIND ANOTHER PROFESSOR IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL.
Wow! worst teacher i've ever had, talks with his eyes closed. Nothing he talks about it from the book. Can not understand a word he says. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!
"EconomicSSSSSS" (I chuckle every time I imagine his nigerian accent) He's a massive fail. I can't really describe him without profanity. Terrible test/textbook/lecture correlation. He's a nice & intelligent guy, but is a terrible teacher to convey the knowledge he has.
never take this professor very bad idea please listen to me i mean it DO NOT TAKE HIM if u still took the class u will remember that i told so,
Worst teacher I have ever had... Stay Away!!!!!!!
If your major is business and you want to learn economics to support you with your major, remember this is not the right professor. He teaches something and on the test is something else. To the Prof. if you want your students to understand you and like your class be clear with them and give them the points. Don't make them feel lost.
He is the worst professor you will ever see in your life at MC. first of all he speaks sooo fast with his african accent which makes you not understand anything he says. he makes you take notes but does not let you ask any questions. he makes fun of you if you do not know the answer to his stupid question. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS NOR GET TO KNOW HIM
if you can keep up with the reading and you dont need any further assistance in understanding the content...you might as well do this class on-line.He provides no assistance in understanding material that was unclear.But if you like a challenge then this is most likely going to get you out of that habit.
worst teacher ever, do not take the class with him under any circumstances unless u want 2 fail
STOP Talking about your banana. He makes you feel stupid because the way he connects real life with the subject makes you feel crazy. Stop teaching go home. You can't teach!!
Do not take this profesor's class! I tried so hard in his class. I went to every boring lecture, wrote down everything he said, read every chp. twice, studied for every test and only passed with a C-. He makes students feel stupid for asking questions, his test are impossible and he doesn't believe in study guides, not even for the final!
This Man should not teach at all. He is the worse professor of Montgomery college. I think students should have a committee to report him at the Economics Department, so he can be fired
He wasted my time and I learned absolutely nothing. Showed up to class everyday with a open mind and he went offtrack and talked about nonsense. You never know what grade you have in the class and you can not communicate with this professor at all. Please go to a counselor and tell them how awful he is if you agree.
i dont understand why everybody is complaining..he is hard yes..he doesnt like questions at all yes...hard to hear anything at first yes... i took 201 and 202 with him and i am a french speaker if i could get him everybody should...didnt take notes but studied the textbook everytime and i got A to all my test...so pliz....and i loved econ
Lets see... the worst teacher I've had in my entire 2 years of college. You cannot understand most of his lectures, he refuses to answer questions, gets angry that you don't understand his accent and his questions that are completely irrelivant. I must say, this was a major waste of money and time. DO NOT TAK THIS CLASS!
wow actually the worst teacher ive ever had. i didn't see this site before but honest to god, hands down the WORST teacher i have EVER had in my LIFE! I could only understand every other word he said, the tests are really hard and its actually the most boring class in the world. its torture. DONT TAKE THIS CLASS!
PLEASE don't take this teacher! He rambles in a monotone, his train of thought is excruciatingly hard to follow, he doesn't explain things clearly, and he holds you responsible on tests for everything he says in his lecture. Worst prof I have ever had for any class. Bordering on hostile if you ask about any unclear direction on a test or something.
PLEASE do no take him... I never dropped a class in my entire life but had to drop him a couple of semesters ago... i just heard about this website so I thought I should let my fellow students know that you will either fail or end up withdrawing coz he's NOT GOOD.
He is disrespecfull, useless, uneffective, maybe a smat man but a horrible teacher please talk to the chief of the econ departament if you think he is as bad as i tink!! go and complain so people like him can stop wasting our money and time...!!!
WAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I just laugh at this man! and NO he is not the admirable prof. I took his class fall 09 n I Freaking passed with a grade of C!!! never get a grade like this. even i gave all my best all i got is a C!! SO IF U WANT TO STUDY ECON DOOOO NOOOOOOT TAKE HIM! even his wife teaches too and she is baddd as himmmm
WORST TEACHER IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!!!!! IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND AND HE NEVERS EXPLAINS ANYTHING IN A CLEAR MANNER. THE EXAMPLES HE USES ARE AT OUT OF DATE AND IRRELEVANT. iF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE HE WILL STRAIGHT UP LAUGH IN YOUR FACE. HE IS AN ASSHOLE WHO DESERVES TO BE PUT IN PRISON FOR INCOMPETENCE.
Now I know why he still teaches ECONOMIC$$$
Murchison is soporific, redundant and offensive if you are a working adult or female. Fortunately his grades are strictly test score based so if you study and test well this class is easy. If you don't avoid his classes like the plague. If I'd been able to take the class at any time he wasn't teaching I would've switched rather than hear him ramble
Without a doubt the worst teacher I have had for any class, ever. His tests are misleading and unclear so if you don't carefully read every question you will get it wrong. No partial credit if you got some of it right. The worst part is that he does not hand back tests. He lets you see your graded tests for about 5 minutes and then keeps them.
Worst teacher ever. Never ever take him. His tests are completely unrelated to what he talks about. Not only is he a hard and horrible teacher, but you will learn absolutely nothing in his class. It's like you have to learn a new language.
well he is the worst prof ever!! dont ever take econ with him!! he doesnt explain well...no powerpoints, even if u take notes in class trust me they re so not useful!! you juss have to studt by ur self nd read the book!! :/ ohhh i wont forget this there is no partial credits even if u got half of the work right! well juss dont ECON take it PLEASE
well he is the worst prof ever! dont ever take econ with him!! he doesnt explain well...no powerpoints, even if u take notes in class trust me they re so not useful!! you juss have to study by ur self nd read the book! :/ oh i wont forget this there is no partial credits even if u got half of the work right! well juss dont take ECON with him PLEASE
This professor is probably the WORST teacher at MC. You can barely understand a word he's saying through his thick accent, & on top of that his voice is monotone, making his lectures VERY hard to understand & SUPER boring. I thought I would pass his class but turns out I was dead wrong. Worst mistake of your life if you ever sign up for his class.
Easily one of if not they worst professor I've ever had. Grades are entirely test based, but he is not helpful at all if you have questions. Only allows you to view test results for a few minutes. EXTREMELY uncomfortable class; Murchison is hung up on women in male fields.... "There were no woman (insert profession here) when..."
Never take this professor, an awful teacher and impossible tests not out of the book
First off don't take this class if you aren't willing to take notes, show up to class, and read the book. It is a college course...professor is hard to understand at first but he is very smart you just have to pay attention in class despite his monotone voice. I got a lot out of him
Be prepared to take a great deal of notes and spend a lot of time reading the text book. If your prone to skipping classes don't take the course. Isn't extremely clear with his explanations. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Missing notes could spell trouble. If your truly willing to put in the effort there's no reason you can't get an A. Good luck
This class completely destroyed my impecable GPA. Worst experience ever. He is a good man but not a good professor, AT ALL.
He has a great personality, but his class is very hard and lacks clarity. To pass his class, just show up everyday, read over your notes, and really study the textbook. If you're willing to study hard from the textbook, there's hope.
Don't take him at all! Although he knows what he is teaching, his classes are completely boring and monotonous. There is no extra credit and the grade is test based only. Most of people in his classes either drop or fail.
I am not very good with econ so I need professors who speak with clarity and consistency. HE IS NEITHER. Lectures are half baked tangents darting from one concept to another, or spending too much time on one topic that no one asked about and doesn't relate to the course. His idea of student involvement is waiting for you to finish his sentence
Do not take his class! He doesn't care about wheter you do well or not, he doesn't offer additional help, even if you ask, the tests are difficult, he WILL NOT make a study guys, and his accent is hard to understand. On top of that, the notes he took were terrible, they only made sense to him. THE WORST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD!
