She is an easy teacher. However, the lectures are so boring every time because she just reads the powerpoint on the screen. For tests, she gives all the answers so if you remember them, you'll get A. In the end, I didn't learn anything from her. She needs more teaching experience.
SHE IS VERY NICE. I HARDLY EVER WENT TO CLASS AND STILL GOT AN A. THE TEST ARE SUPER EASY!! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PRINT THE POWERPOINTS SHE SENDS YOU AND THEN SHE'LL TELL YOU THE ANSWERS TO THE TEST FROM THE POWERPOINT AND ITS ALL IN THE SAME ORDER I GOT AN A ON EVERY TEST. VERY EASY!! I RECOMMEND HER FOR EVERYONE!
Overall she is a good teacher... was an easy A and she'll basically tell you what she expects from you on the test.. great techer!!
without doubt, the best professor at bcc. She does anything she can for you to get an A. I'd recommend her to anybody.
Easiest "A" ever! Her whole lessons are on powerpoints, and you just need to print them out and she tells you what parts to study and they match up EXACTLY on the test. I got an "A" on all 4 tests throughout the semester. There's an easy research paper/presentation at the end too. Plus, she's a 10 on a 1-10 scale of hotness.
She is a great teacher. I got an A in her class, all her things are on powerpoints were can study from. Just pay attension in her class study the patrs she say coming the exam you will indeed pass. GOOD TEACHER
She is a great professror. Her class notes were all on powerpoints. Just print them out and show up the day prior of the test and she tell you everything thats on the test. It matches exacly to the test. Easy A to get.
Took a boring subject and tried to make it as interesting as she could. Understanding and easy if you pay attention and study the notes. Young and nice!
EASY CLASS BUT SHE MAD IT BORING . WITH LONG POWE4R POINTS.
SO FLY!!!!
the best teacher. it is not an easy class, but she tells everything what's on the test.
This was an extremely easy class. Your guaranteed A or B if you do what she ask. Which is not much. She does her lectures through power-points. She sends you the power-points through email. Just print them out. For review she tells you exactly what to study from the power-points. You have to be really lazy not to pass with no less than a B.
Ms.Julie, is the best prof. I had her last semester, and all of her test questions are simply easy; if your that type that who are eager to learn she should be the best prof. to take, but if your that other type who doesnt like to study my advice to you, you shouldn't take her. one thing that I know if you gives it your all you'll past.
I find this woman very weak on her subject. I don't think shes knows what she is doing. Her geography knowledge is not that great. Her teaching is confusing and boring. Her powerpoints are not that great. Her tests are fine but not that good. I did not enjoy her class. I was crazy for it to finish. Don't take her if you find someone else. Very bad!
I disliked her teaching and her class. Boring powerpoints (very simplistic and not very fun). I don't think she knows her subject very well. She needs to prepare more and learn more about geography. She brings a lot BIAS into geography when she teaches it. Her test are confusing and messy. I find Julie kind of slow. She is nice to get good reviews!
She was easy, but her power points and lectures were boaring. Just show up, even though attendance was not mandatory and review your notes and slides and you would do fine.
This class is very easy if you show up for the class and do the work she asked. she is very helpful if you don't understand and it's an easy A or A+ for sure
One of the worse teachers I had. Boring class and the powerpoints are very badly done. She needs to prepare more for the class. She is very nationalist about the USA. Her tests are confusing and kind of hard. I really disliked her class. If you find someone else to take DON TAKE HER.
I took her for the summer class in which she did lectures with powerpoints and showed films for 3 days. Every Thursday we had an exam which was a 1.5 to 2 pg essay on one of the topics she gives at the start of the week. I got 100 on 4/5 essays and 92 on the other one, and it was mostly bs. Tends to ramble but really easy A/B. SHE IS HOT HOT HOT!
To tell you the true I had trouble understanding her teaching. She is not good teaching about locations. She (like all Americans) are biased about the world. Her lectures are very simple and complicated at the same time. Tests are fine and you can study by yourself, but be careful. She is nice to get good reviews.
Mura are not very good teaching geography. She thinks she knows the subject but she does not know very much about geography. It seems to me that she is teaching to many classes and she gets confused about the class she is teaching. Her powerpoints are terrible. She needs to speak louder. Her reviews are horrible. She in the end wants good evaluatio
I learning everything mostly by myself. PowerPoints are weak. Her lectures are boring. Take someone else if you can. I have nothing more to say...
This class was very easy. She's very clear on her grading policy, the tests come straight from the powerpoint presentations and she tells you what questions will be on the test during the lectures, so it's impossible to get anything lower than a "B" in her class.You don't have to buy the textbook, because she has her own handouts.
Don't take her classes. This woman is boring and have annoying voice. I can't stand her teaching and her class. Take someone else. She needs to learn the real GEOGRAPHY. This woman has no real knowledge of GEOGRAPHY. BORING!!!!
Our grade was based on three take home essays and a powerpoint presentation. No tests or quizzes or extra-credit. I got an A but it was not easy.
She teaches real life things that are useful in the real world...she makes it fun by having the whole class interact and comment on the work
This class is very interesting. She makes you think outside the box about everyday life rather than just reading from the boring textbook!!
Professor Mura's class wasn't the funnest. But honestly, I took her class over the summer and she gave us 3 essays. You pick a country, and learn about it. I learned a lot that I didn't know before. It's not your typical geo class with multiple choice answers and memorizing definitions. It's different and enjoyable. P.S she let us out 1 week before
Currently, I am taking GO 1000 with Ms. Mura and I couldn?t be any happier with the course and her style of teaching. I simply had to pick a country and I will write three essays about it throughout the entire semester. Her class is not hard if you come to class and participate. I would recommend her to any student, plus fellas she's hot!!!!!
Good Class. I recommend her. If you show up for class and do all the work you will pass.
Great teacher. Pretty fun and easy class. Just do the three essays, I got 100 on all three, didn't do the final presentation and ended up with a C+ mostly because I didn't participate much in class, but i would totally recommend her. She even works with you if you miss class or don't understand or need help with Essays. Take her. ^_^
great teacher did not do much but talk about countries around the world and their economic situation.grades came from 4 2 page papers and one final speech.very easy A as long as you write the papers the way she wants them.
I think this woman should learn that this course is about WORLD GEOGRAPHY. She tests you for Russia and parts of Africa. She should not be teaching geography. Geography is not her thing.
Prof. Mura is a sweetheart. She cares about her students and loves to teach. I loved her class. It is very engaging and easy. All you need to do is listed, talk, and write three papers. Very easy class!! I highly recommend her!!! I got an A.
She is a sweetheart. You learn a little about every country I guess. Super easy class, although she really doesnt take attendance and its not mandatory, if you miss something important discussed in class your in trouble. There is no quizzes or homework other then research on the 3 essay tests assigned. Its an easy A but brutally boring.
Great Teacher! Helpful and fun. Lots of interesting discussions and easy A, just 3 essays! You will get an A if you write the way she tells you to and participate in class. I would love to take her again, but she`s not on the same campus.
Great professor! She does not use a textbook for her class...it is mostly lecture. She has a very effective and engaging way to teaching. I enjoyed her class. Only have 3 essays and as long as you follow what she needs out of it, you will pass. If you enjoy engaging conversation then this is your class!
This class is hard b/c she doesnt even know what she wants from the students.she is nice but is not clear on what you have to write.
She was a very friendly and often funny. The problem was, was that I didn't even feel I earned my A. She had no direction and had us redo our essays and take stuff out and add stuff in. Most of us like direction and she doesn't give directions. To each his/her own. Very nice teacher and it won't be a hard class to take.
Prof. Mura knows her stuff. And she loves it. she was really sweet and we basically just had a lecture class with discussion. 3 essays that were about a country we chose. Show up to class. It can get EXTREMELY boring but she likes if you participate. I got an A. and she has great shoes.
She is a very nice teacher. There are 3 essays and a presentation. It's an easy A, just show up and you will be fine. Her classes are more like class discussions.
This professor is extremely nice, she really is, BUT the class is just stupidly boring. You will literally sit there and rot away for an hour and a half
There is no text book use, no attendance taking, no homework, no quizzes or tests. Literally you just show up, listen to her talk about god know what, and you can still pass her class. I didn't pay attention in most of her classes. All you need is to listen to what the topic of the 3 essays are in her class, and have a good internet connection
I got an A, barely attended class and spent time on the internet for her essays. Boring class but almost everyone gets an A, She's all talk no gamw
Your grade is based on the essays you write. The lecture does get kind of hard to pay attention to i won't lie but if you want an easy A and you ask her for help/ideas for the essays and show you care she will defintely help you just make sure you follow her guidelines to essays. Don't always skip class cause she might say something important.
Really helpful and understanding. Keeps lectures interesting. Class participation is VERY IMPORTANT. Your grade is based on essays you will write. She is an amazing teacher that is really concerned with not only teaching you course material but also life lessons. You'll want to take this class!
if your an above average writer then this class should be really easy. If your not then you shouldnt take her
I would not recommend taking this professor. I suppose it's nice of her to spoonfeed half the essays to the class down to the exact wording, but she demands very particular language which ends up in deductions for subjective word choice. EXTREMELY boring class, and with perfect attendance and attention, I learned NOTHING about geography!
Take someone else if you can. She talk talks and never goes anywhere. History is her thing. Geography is not for her. Essays and more essays. Run!
This class was very informative. It challenges you to view information differently. For students going for bachelors and scholarships,that will require a higher standard of writing papers, collecting the data(from creditable sources)and organizing the information, this class will be a great help. Informative for scholarship writing.
Not a hard class. If you don't like essays, don't take her because majority of your grades come from essays.
If you're for a easy A then this is the class. Class is pretty boring. You should show up to every class cause you might miss some information. All her grades come from essays so if you don't like essays this is not the class. But over all a easy class and you learn quite a bit.
This class wasn't that bad but it was not worth it The three essay were challenging and if you didnt show up to class and did not have a buddy to take notes. Do not be surprised if you get a bad grade because there is a specific way she want it. I dreaded going to class due to the MANDATORY participation, other than that... class is easy to handle
Professor Mura is one of Broward's best. There is no textbook, instead you MUST show up for class and PARTICIPATE, because a good portion of your grade depends on it. I was fascinated by the course; it was very different from my expectations in the best way! The homework load was fairly light but I still learned a considerable amount in the class.
This class is an easy A, but it depends on your participation. If you're quiet or very shy, I suggest that you do not take the class. She will not think twice about failing you in that department or "giving you the grade you deserve".
Just be prepared to read and be in class. Lectures can be long. I took her last summer.
I think she try her best, but not good enough. I love geography but her class was not fun. I still recommend her but get ready to read and write...
Finished taking her. Ok class, but if you not do what must be done she will fail you. Her class is most like historical geography. I wish she could teach the real geography. I was hoping to learn about the physical Earth, but she concentrates mostly on the human side of it. Get ready to read!
Ready to learn, this is not the typical geography class. The concepts and informative techniques I learned in this class continue to help me in other classes and in life application. Professor Mura is helpful, fun and informative. She encourages 'thinking outside the box'. I respect her and her opportunity to help students grow for the future.
Prof. Mura gives great feedback, she is super nice and helpful and will go out of her way to help you. The class was only from August-October, so we only had 2 essays and just easy assignments to turn in on D2L. As long as you show up and participate you'll get an A.
Professor Mura was very interesting, she talks all class long but every thing is simple and to the point so no confusion should occur but if it does she is super helpful. She was very nice, great attitude. Only 2 essays and smaller research preps which were 6 minutes at most. Would definitely recommend
easy A
This class was so boring for me. I tried my best to like it but the instruct was not good teaching it. Very monotone and tedious. I took the class to learn geography but the real geography was not there. She talks too much about historical things. Test are not easy! Very boring class! Take someone else if you can. What a tedious class!
Take her class! participation is a must!
Amazing teacher!
If you are like not interesting powerpoints, long lectures and not learn what you need don't take this class. Not an easy A and be aware of the work you have to to. Took her this summer and I was crazy for the class to finish to get out of the room.
Dr. Mura is the best professor I've ever encountered. She's extremely caring and genuine. Her class consisted of entertaining lectures, and 2 research papers. She helps you every step of the way in not only in understanding the applications of geography, but also on straightening your writing and researching abilities.
This professor is okay. She can be kind of blunt sometimes and some people take it the wrong way. She is an extremely tough grader and is very detail oriented. But other than that, if you show dedication and pay attention to the course you'll do just fine.
Professor Mura is a very caring professor she wants you to pass her class. she takes time to answer all your questions and helps you to succeed. she gives you her time and answer your emails very prompt. I would most defiantly recommend her.
Really great teacher! The class composed of three exams (essays). The professor was very helpful and understanding. Super nice and knowledgeable. Wish it could have been a longer class!
She is really nice and she tells you what she expects, she is very clear. Her class consists of three essays and she basically tells you what to put in them, she wants you to pass. Some classes you may have to be present for cause she wont tell you when she will be giving you the essay or assignments and if you miss you have to do it on your own
Professor mura is a great!! She is super caring and whats eveyone to pass. Her lectures are enjoyable and she is very funny. Only had 2 essay which she helps you with!!!! Overall shes a great professor and I would deffinatly take again. Her class is great if you arent going for a geography major
She assigns 10 in class/ homework assignments that can be done in 10 minutes and she gives 100 even if they are wrong. There are also 3 essay exams, but they are super easy because she tells you what to write in them and she gives you a sample essay where you copy and paste some information into your essay. She is always there to help. Easy class
Took this class for Spring. She is amazing. Attendance is mandatory especially if you're taking the accelerated sessions. Grading and course work is very clear and she prepares an outline of what she expects. Didn't have to purchase a book for this class, she had already uploaded the reading materials. Each lecture is informational, but fun.
she is really knowledgeable and well spoken. if you attend all classes, you will do great. you don't need to buy a textbook, she is super nice, and for her essays, she tells you what she wants in them. take her class, if you participate, and do her assignments on time, you should pass with an A or a B. i would take her again if I could!
Excellent communication, high energy, and a great sense of humor.
First of all I CANNOT possibly emphasize enough on the fact that this is a geography class. Yet every week I was writing about my pathway, or how to created an annotated bibliography. Every week she assigns pointless assignments! If I ever want 120 hours of my life wasted or do irrelevant assignments, I will DEFINITELY choose this class again!
Professor Mura is a gem. This class was mandatory for me to take but she made it interesting and I actually really enjoyed her class. Only con is participation is she makes participation a big part of your grade but pro is she helps you out when you're struggling to explain something
I love Professor Mura! She is hilarious and always made me laugh. Her lectures are fun. Participation is big in her class. Super easy class and easy HW. No tests, quizzes, or final. I learned so much because she made it fun and stress free. She's awesome!
The first few days in her classes was odd. But over time you get used to her. And by that point, you realize she's a GREAT Professor. I love going to her classes. She makes the subject interesting, regardless of your major. If you don't enjoy her classes, then it's likely it might just be you. This is an easy A class!
Professor Mura is probably one of my favorite professors. She goes into depth about geography and the class isn't boring. Participation is a good portion of your grade, but if you say something its fine. The textbook wasn't used, so showing up matters. No papers, midterm or final, just weekly assignments and participation.
Dr. Mura is SUPER laid back. Our class was small on a Saturday morning she goes over the assignment questions in class. Show up ask questions participate and you will pass!
Her class is extremely easy and isnt hard at all. The reading of the textbook isnt even necessary. As long as you do the assignments you assign youll pass with the easiest A of your life. Shes a very funny person and is always energetic and happy to be teaching her class. You wont regret taking her class!!
Took this class virtually during COVID-19 and it was a class i finally didn't dread. The material was modern, she picked our brains, she got us to bring out our personal opinions on the topics and it sparked great conversation. Do your homework and participate, it's mainly opinion based anyways, and you will pass this class. 10/10 would recommend.
Dr. Mura is passionate about what she teaches. She truly values your thoughts and opinions. Very approachable, great Professor. I actually looked forward to class. Show up ,participate complete your assignments and you are golden.
Love GEO! I absolutely love her and she's very engaging. I really don't know why she's at a 3.2 overall, even though there are 6 assignments that are due on the same day (which is a bit heavy) and you have to complete them for 1 week, but they are easy and simple ones. She gives out extra credit opportunities and no tests nor midterm/final.
The assignments are very simple and not very difficult and allow you some lee-way with what you write about. Her in-class lectures are good, however, they tend to stray away from actual geography because she prefers to focus more on cultural geography than physical geography. If you want to learn more about physical geography, she isn't for you.
Impossible to fail this class, unless you don't care or not even trying. 5-6 assignments are due every week. Responds to email fairly quickly.
Great Professor. The work is easy just make sure you make time for it. You can finish everything for the week in one day. Professor Mura is not a tough grader at all and she responds quickly. I definitely recommend.
