Horrible! Language barrier, Doesn't respond to emails, Not clear Don't take him

worst professor i have had in 3.5 years at towson

Crazy grading system Towson doesn't recognize. Aimless class. Clear grudge against the West. BS = A/B paper. Wanted me to pay for copies of handouts he already made copies of for class. If he challenges you mentally, it's probably 'cause you already were. Worst prof. I've had in my life. Don't take.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!! DROP IT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!! This guy expected doctorate level work for a freshman level class. His grading is purly subjective and is totaly unfair. His lectures are turturous and are meant to drive people insane!!! He has a heavy accent and says "NO" before every noun. He is the worst teacher that I ever experienced!!!

AVOID THIS TEACHER AT ALL COSTS. He rambles on and on, making no sense - and that's when you can understand him. You can be pretty sure to get a C in the class as that was pretty much the only grade he gave. Only wants people to reiterate his opinions. For a GenEd, lower-level class it was the most difficult one I had in my 4 years at Towson.

What a joke. "Disorganized" is an understatement - went on an unannounced trip to Africa during finals week and forgot to leave our final exams; gives no grading criteria yet grades semi-"hard" regardless; misrepresents the thought of the philosophers discussed; makes no sense, and accent/speech impediment/whatever = totally incomprehensible.

Worst professor ever.u wont understand a word he speaks.totally useless.very unorganized.teaches what he thinks is good.he should not be the chairperson anymore.i think he should'nt b allowed to teach.goes off topic a lot.unbelievebly unclear,unhelpful and non sense.DO NOT TAKE HIM.Plzz for the sake of god DON"T

Don't take him at any costs. SHOULD NOT be a chairperson, much less a professor. He is biased and doesn't give the grades that you earn. He also doesn't return your work so you don't even know what your grade "might" be until the end.

This guy is ridiculous!!! Its impossible to understand what hes saying, and on top of that hes a hard grader. Its pretty hard to make a philosophy class boring, but this guy manages to do it. Do not take him unless you have to.

Boring,unnessarly hard, and unclear.He is completely disorgnized, test questions pulled from thin air and expects you to fill an entire blue book on a single question. This class is a requirement for graduation, and there are a host of better professors to take it with. Avoid!

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. He has an accent that is impossible to understand. He never prepares us for tests. His lectures are useless and he provides no notes or anything. He rambles on for an hour and fifteen minutes about nothing. Goes off on tangents a lot. Read the book,but you'll still get a C on your tests. Three tests and a final.

Awful "professor" who is almost impossible to understand, rambles about god knows what, disorganized, uses a terrible textbook, uses weird grading, biased, and should be avoided. If you want to take a class where the professor actually teaches you something, don't take this class.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS WITH HIM. He sits in class and blabbers about nothing for the entire class, then sends you an email one day ahead of the next class telling you to read a ton of chapters from the books. He gives no assignments, only tests, and grades based if he likes what you said. Definition of lazy professor.

I would never take this man for any classes or wish upon my worst enemies that they have to take this class 343 with him. Maybe he's okay for other classes, I'm not sure. But for this one he's awful and rambles and is very hard to follow. If you write a lot for his tests you'll at least get a C. He likes people to ramble like he does I guess.

AVOID AT ALL COST, lectures are the most boring thing on the face of the earth. He has the thickest accent and is so soft spoken that you can't understand what he is saying, and when to start to understand, he goes on a tangent that has nothing to do with the class. Had a lot of bad teachers in my life, Murungi is by far the worst.

I would NOT recommend Dr. Murungi. His lectures are the absolute WORST. All he does in stand in front of the class and rambles. No powerpoints, and barely writes anything on the board. Only graded material are exams, and you have to write a lot if you want to get a semi decent grade. My exams would be 4 papers long when I turned them in, got B-'s.

Do not take this man's class. He has an accent and he makes no sense in his 50 min lecture and offers examples that do not relate to anything he is discussing. Also, don't take Phil 101 with him. He assigned a 200 dollar book and expected us to buy it. Unless you have 200 dollars to spend on ONE book in a 101 level course, DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!

Nice guy but doesn't follow the syllabus at all. 3 exams all year and those are the only grades for the entire semester. he gives a study guide, which helps a lot. you actually have to read the textbook or you'll fail. isn't attendance based but when people start to not show up he will take attendance and base your final grade off of that.

I created a profile specifically for Dr. John Murungi. The absolute worst! I cannot stress this enough. Stay farr away. Take latin american philosophy or whatever else is available in that section. This guy has no rubric, no criteria. Talks for 75 minutes straight! Rarely any class participation. Low voice, rarely talks about readings. Emails late!

No powerpoints, doesnt use blackboard, doesnt even write on the board, heavy accent (you do get used to it though) emails you readings/important information the night before. Only graded on 3 exams and the final. The test are kind of hard. They are all short answer but if you write a half a page to a page for every question you will pass.

Do not take this class. Completely biased opinion and will disrespect every belief you have if it's not his own. Received F's on all of my exams when they were extremely well written. You can barely hear him when he speaks and lectures are not at all focused on philosophy.

You can tell he's a nice guy and means well but he's clearly set in his ways and grades you based off his opinion. In order to get a decent grade on each exam I had to write a page long essay for a "short answer" question. I dread going to class each day, he's hard to understand because of an accent. Don't recommend this class.

Here is why muranji is the worst professor. He doesn't give actual notes he just mumbles the whole class about nothing. No powerpoints. He has a textbook for $120 but it doesn't even matter. He sends a study guide with the test essay questions before exam so just google the philosophers and you're fine. writing more better grade, make stuff up

If your already struggling and not doing well in life DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR it was my own personal nightmare, our class never gotten any kinds of A's. He says come in to appeal your grade where he then degrades you and then gaslights you by using extra reading that we didn't have. if you can withdraw, PLEASE WITHDRAW!! I wish i could rate a 0

Horrible professor all he does it talk about random things in a very light voice impossible to hear or understand. If you do not write more than 3/4 of a page per short question for your exams you wont get a good grade. He only has 4 things graded the whole semester 3 exams and the final exam which he grades based off his opinion.

Sometimes i would sit down in his class and not understand a single word being said by him, he doesn't present slides or anything like that. If you don't have the books you'll probably have trouble trying to figure out what he is even teaching. Don't take him for any class if you have trouble understanding topics.

all he grades are exams, idk what ppl liked him but he does not give any assignments, i still dont know my grade and the semester ends next week?? i would not take him again, u cant understand him and all you do is read and listen to his boring lectures and the exams are handwritten papers and ive heard he grades tough so run and hide

I would not recommend this professor to anyone. The only grades you will get are from quizzes taken every few weeks. He would not post any grades on Blackboard and half of the time when I got a quiz back, it had no grade on it. If you don't buy the books you will not know whats going on because you cant understand him half of the time.

Nobody in the class can really understands what he is saying due to his accent. He jumps around from topic to topic without ensuring people are following along . He doesn't use PowerPoints or anything online. he just writes on the wipe board.. his hand writing isn't neat so it is kind of difficult to read what he is writing.

DO NOT TAKE!! I took this because it was the only Tsem course that fit my schedule. He teaches this course as if it is a 300 level philosophy course. You can't understand a word he says due to his very heavy accent. Does not post grades on Blackboard and never gives any feedback. For your own sanity, DO NOT TAKE!!!

Genuinely cannot understand a word this man is saying. Do not do this to yourself.

Do not take this professor. Does not give good feedback on exams, if you don't write a lot (even if you properly explained the prompt) you will fail. Handwriting is illegible, even if you show up to lectures, you're not going to learn anything. No PowerPoints, just talks the entire class without actually connecting his points. DO NOT TAKE!!!

your not going to be able to understand this man and its a yap session

CANT understand him for one..two there's only 4 things(4 exams)NO OTHER ASSIGNMENTS,+ doesn't even add the grade to blackboard.Strict grader & must answer exam questions with ATLEAST a page..you automatically getting marked down if u don't write a lot.Even if the question can be answered in 2 sentences you BETTER turn them 2 sentences into 2 pages!

I hope you like writing, because each test only consists of it. If you write less than a page and a half per question, you will not perform well on the exams. Expect handwriting 4-6 pages for each of the 4 tests he gives you. He talks very quietly and has a strong accent that makes him hard to understand. All of your notes will be from the reading.
