Not that bad. Yes, he's scatter-brained and he doesn't teach that well but he gives you a sample test that is almost identical to the real test and just study that the day before the test and you should be alright. He also scales the test alot and gives crdit for attendance.

Real good teacher. Do your homework and pass with an A. Sample test are very close to real test.

I was never good at math but I have an A in this class. I dont study except for right before the test and I always get a good grade. The day before the test he gives a really good sample test. Basically, he takes roll so go and ull get a good grade..

Class is very necessary - you can't afford to miss ANY. Material can be confusing but if you attend class and DO THE HOMEWORK you will be fine. Sample tests are almost exactly like the actual tests, which consist of only about 5 problems and you can get lots of partial credit. He cuts down like half of the material you talk about before the test.

Very very nice and helpful. Lots of resources and time for students. He gives sample tests, but his tests are tricky.

he is kind of dopey and goofy but he is nice and cares about people passing his class. he pretty much hands your grade to you on a silver platter so all you have to do is show up and do the assignments. he goes over everything before the test and you get a sample test which is almost exactly the actual test. try not to miss a class.

He gives pop quizes all the time. He also gives a sample test but I wouldn't just study the sample test make sure you know how to do the problems. He can be rude sometimes and has a tendency to run off into space once in a while but is very helpful. Don't be afraid to ask questions!!!!

He loves to give pop quizzes. Attendance is highly recommended. The class wasn't extremely hard, but you do need to know your stuff. He gives sample tests days before the actual tests and he goes over them. I just studied the sample tests and made an A in the class, but I recommend that you study. Also, he scales his grades which helps alot!

Does thousands of examples, DO THE HOMEWORK and you will learn Calculus! Don't do it and you will not know what is going on. Doesn't collect HW Tests are easy if you have done the homework and reworked problems gone over in class. Easy to understand. Reviews prior maths before each section.

AWESOME TEACH! He teaches calc where I can understand and quickly learn the material. DO THE HOMEWORK AND REWORK THE EXAMPLES HE GIVES AND YOU WILL MAKE AN A!

I love Mur****! He hands out these little guides that help so much! He sometimes strays with crazy stories, but they are very entertaining. If you do the practice tests he gives on the internet, it's makes the test easy, maybe even easier than the practice tests.

Great teacher!Yes he does get confused a bit but that is because he is super smart. He tends to over analyze things, that's all. Can teach the concepts of 1 chapter in 1 day and leave you understanding the content. Test should be no suprise if you just do the non mandatory HW and class examples. If you want to actually LEARN, you will take him.

I'm just about done taking this course, and I have a solid A. He is great at explaining! Test are not unpredictable nor tricky. He has a weird sense of humor but all and all a funny guy who makes class go by fast! Definitely taking him for MA 125!

Good about this class, you did not have to buy the book. He gave us bookletts to study, and the notes, and sample test were on line. THE THIRD TEST WAS VERY TRICKY SO STUDY the sample test a lot. over all he was good I got a "B".

failed every test and got a passing D, you get the point

He really cares about your understanding of the material. This man has spent hours making online videos for people who are struggling. He's a really good teacher and a benefit to South. I take him any chance I get.

Mr. Mur**** is an awesome teacher! One thing I love about his class is that he really starts with the basics. I felt like i totally forgot how to do math, but he just reviews everything you need starting with Algebra you learned in Middle School. He is a hundred times easier to understand than my high school teacher. I recommend him!

confuses himself and he is the only one that laughs at his "jokes." only gives you 3-5 min for a 5 question quiz EVERY day! his tests are fairly easy and the sample test are awesome. his movies on his website are extremely helpful if you miss a lesson. i will def use it even when he is not my professor! overall not a hard teacher compared to others

Mr. Mur**** is a great math instructor. Instead of just telling you about a math problem he really showes the origin and why we use these skills. That information is very helpful to engineering majors.

He's definitely one of the most... how can I put this... interesting professors I've had at South. I made a 55,52 and 68 on his 3 tests, but passed the final. I luckily ended up with a C. I would suggest looking at his calculus and algebra videos if you can't understand him in class, along with reading the book. That pretty much saved me.

I took mur**** for ma113 and did not go to class very often-made a B-and didn't like him. I then took statistics during the summer and turned out he was my teacher-so i was nervous. went to class when i was supposed to, understood everything perfectly because he is amazing. made 100's on every test, incredibly easy. go to class-he's a good one.

His only grades are tests which kind of stinks but he gives you homework for the whole term online along with sample tests. if you attend class and take notes his tests really aren't that hard. He'll answer any questions that a person has. Just make sure you do the homework so that you know which questions to ask.

I think he is a great teacher. He explains everything you need to know. If you do your homework and go to class ,it is an easy A. TAKE HIM

By far the BEST math teacher I have ever had! I think I learned more in his class than all my high school years of math combined. Don't listen to the other comments about him being unclear; those people just had no interest in learning the material. Tests are a piece of cake. :)

Great teacher. Gives hundreds of examples. No homework. Gives packets as outlines for notes with hundreds of different problems with answers. No calculators. Has YouTube videos of him reviewing difficult problems. Gives sample tests and also gives partial credit for answers on tets. He is kinda scatterbrained but is so smart he confuses himself sometimes. Great teacher, would definitly take him again.

Hard subject, he makes alot of mistakes, if you pay attention and do the sample test its not that bad, very fair, curves test, no book needed.

Took course during summer and was alot of material to cover in short time. He gave a quiz every day, which kept you on your toes. I think he was a great instructor and wish there was more like him

He teaches well, you just have to pay attention in class. I have noticed that the people in my class who dislike him tend to not study and pay attention.

Mr. Mur**** is a wonderful instructor. He teaches his classes well, however he is a bit too fast. His tests are the best part: on every test he gave us 10 bonus points for absolutely nothing. I really enjoyed his class and would recommend him for anyone taking MA 125 at USA.

He is very helpful! he has a notebook thing that he gives you for free that is VERY helpful! i hate math and he made it very helpful! i recommend him to anyone! He has sample test that are practically the same thing as his real test!

Used youtube videos to explain caluculus better. Was very helpful by having us do homeowrk on the chalkbords around the class room. Excellent professor

If you're good at upper-level Algebra and Geometry, his class is pretty easy (I'm not, so I struggled). He does a lot of the in-class work in his head, so he is a little hard to follow, but he wants everyone to do well and will go back and explain everything if you ask. Really nice guy. He replaced my lowest test score with my final!

He does tend to rant and complain about people not going to the board during recesitation but other than that, I love him for the simple fact that he goes out of his way to help you and he dumbs down everything to make it so simple to understand. He teaches from his notes that he made but those notes ARE the test. Take him even if u hate math :)

He is an okay teacher. I had no problem making an A. He teaches right from his notes, and if you know the notes then you make an A. He makes a lot of mistakes, and it is hard to get his attention in class. Other than that, he is a pretty funny guy that is easy to pass.

If you will do the work that he states up-front that you will need to do, you will succeed. He does talk a lot to himself about his drawings on the board and where the eraser is, but he is good at math! He is available during his office hours, and yes he does use his you tube channel as a crutch and may get paid per click, but he did the work!

He not for everyone, I will agree, but if you go to class, take notes and ask questions you will find that he can be very helpful. He was also incredibly understanding after I was hospitalized the week before finals and had to make up his final the next semester. Attendance is not mandatory but it definitely counts if you are borderline on grades.

A lot of people do not like him for a professor, but I think he is pretty easy. He explains topics very well and even gives you a practice test that you spend a whole class period going over before the real test.

A lot of people dont like him, but I dont seem how! If you do all the homework he assigns you will have an A. Hard copy of text book is not needed, just buy the mymathlab part. He also gives practice test you work in class that are VERY similar to the test. If you have a question on the homework, he is more than willing to help during office hours.

DO THE TRIG NOTEBOOK!!! If that is the only advice I can give, that would be it. He is not a horrible teacher nor does he mess up EVERY example he does. He makes minor mistakes and I did have to teach myself a lot but the trig notebook helped a lot as well.

I took him for ma113. I made a 100 on the first exam, a 100 on the second exam, a 97 on the third exam, and a 99 on the fiinal exam, which is of the entire semester. He makes learning trig easy. To be honost with you if you fail this class, try. If you didn't make an a you didn't study. Its pretty easy.
