She is a great teacher. She loves to teach and she knows what she is talking about. She discusses all the material daily so you understand it and what she expects. The reading is minimal and as long as you keep up you will do great!

Outstanding teacher, presents an excellent classroom environment

One of the few professors I've had who loves their job. Expects alot but always willing to help. I learned alot in this class that I didn't expect to learn.

I thought she did a great job at relating to topics that the students actually wanted to discuss and made class interesting.

Brillant. Creates an atmosphere in the classroom that promotes open discussion, and she really makes you think. She is very helpful, and teaches you to be a better writer, reader, and speaker. I highly recomend this class.

She's a really nice person adn a great teachers. I love this class.

good at conveying content and its importance, good side notes and stories, verry receptive, fun and engaging class

Great class and great professor. She is fair and yuo can tell she really likes to teach. Makes the class fun

I've taken three classes with her. I'd recommend her to anyone.

best teacher in the world

She is so cool. She never makes you feel dumb and everyone has a chance to talk. Nice. smart. Good class.

Definitely recommended!

I loved Pam. She let the class dictate much of what we studied as well as the format of our final. She is truly interested in her students' success, not in tricking them.

Loved her. The only English course I ever enjoyed.

Good professor. She sometimes goes off on tangents, but the stories are ususally good. Nice person. Seems fair in grading.

Sometimes I think she just throws opinions out to the class to start discussion. I don't think they're always her opinions. I like her. Easy to talk to. Lots of writing but she keeps it real. One of the few classes I like going to. I'd take another class with her.

I took Eng 101 with her and then Eng 217. She is a wonderful professor. Very nice, somewhat opinionated but will not shoot down your opinions. She is extremely helpful, and the work is a fair load.

cool lady. smart but doesn't push it in your face. great sense of humor. will listen to all opinions even if she doesn't agree. hard grader sometimes but this class was great. you can tell she loves what she does.

Great professor. So glad to have her. Taught very well, as long as you are willing to learn and put the effort in. If she know's your putting all your effort in she is always glad to help you...

very hot lady

Professor Emigh-Murphy is a wonderful teacher! I took ENG 250 as a requirement and ended up really enjoying it because of her. She helped me realize that I have more to offer than what was expected of me. I am taking her ENG 105 (honors lit)class, and plan on taking many more. She is very understanding, caring, and always willing to help students.

Amazingly talented, intelligent, and witty. She's always willing to help students. She has helped me to come out of my shell and discover creative capabilities I didn't even know I had. I would recommend her classes to ANYONE, even if you are just taking them as requirements. FANTASTIC PROFESSOR!!!

She is the best professor I ever had. She solicits class participation. She is willing to go the extra mile for students. You have to work for your grade. She made me a better person for having attended her class.

She keeps your interest like a Rock Star performs. Impossible to go to sleep during class. Dresses hot. Opens the mind. Makes you challenge yourself. Best teacher I ever had.

Essays are very easy and manageable. Teaching style very followable; however lesson plans are very improvised at times. She's a little scatter-brained, but effective,nonetheless.

I took professor her ENG 105 honors class and I loved it. Science and the humanities has been an interest of mine forever, and she did an excellent job finding parallels between both topics. This was her first semester teaching the course so there were some bumps along the way, but overall this class was very effective and useful. GREAT TEACHER!

She has an understated intelligence about her, but I think she does that on purpose. She gives her students a lot of freedom, which can be intimidating sometimes, but she expects a lot out of you in return. A really good professor!

Great Teacher! tough but extremely nice and willing to help!

She's a great professor, but the class was very boring, maybe because I don't like to write much.If you like Rock bands you will have something in common with her. She really gets into her readings and expects you to also.

Pam isn't bothered with whether you show up to class or even if you do assignments. She takes the attitude that if you're worried about, you'll let her know. If you're not, she's not. The thing is, you don't want to miss class. She makes even the boring stuff interesting somehow. Not the typical lit class. Knows her stuff, nice person, laughs alot

Easy teacher, very lax on everything, but it's within your best interest to not take advantage of that, because she is fair, especially in the aspect of, if you don't do the work, you won't do well. Oh, and no quizzes/tests, isn't that a plus?

i've been waiting for a class like this. she's great. not for the light minded. gives you tons of freedom but if you slack you pay th e price. she'll talk about anything in class. great class.

This was my favorite class ever. She made everything we discussed this semester interesting. She lets students dictate class a lot, which is great, but she also steers us in the right direction with good readings and advice on writing. A little disorganized and pretentious at times. But I highly recommend this course and professor. Makes you think.

Took two courses with this professor. Great teacher, very liberal and open-minded. Makes you think. Goes off on tangents, but on fun topics. A fan of critical thinking. Be prepared to learn and to work hard. In the end you get what you deserve!

Awesome professor!!! Treats everyone with respect and like a real person. No ego trips with her. She's great. Holds you accountable to do good work, but will be flexible with due dates. Everyone felt comfortable in our class, so lots of good discussions. We talked about all kinds of good stuff that other professors would kick you out of class for.

Amazing professor! She is truly a humanitarian and I learned so much in her class. All professors should take a cue from this one!

I took her Honors ENG course and it was extremely stimulating and insightful. She thinks outside the box and challenges you to do the same. Papers to her are not reports, they are personal expression and as long as you stay true to yourself you will do very well in her class. VERY enjoytable class. I think everyone should take her ENG class.

I've completed my first year of college so far and this professor is definitely the BEST I've had at MCC. I cannot say enough wonderful and positive things about her. She truly has a kindhearted spirit and will open your mind to all kinds of interesting new ways of thinking. This professor made a HUGE positive impact on my life. Due to her teaching

I took this class cuz I have to, but I'm glad I did. She knows the subject well and makes class discussions interesting. Always connects the literature to something current that we can relate to. The reading can be hard, but she's good at explaining. She gives you the questions for the exam a week ahead of time so you can study. Very nice lady.

We need lots more profs like her.

We need more profs like her.

Wonderful professor! We need more like her! Very understanding and interesting. Projects are semi-hard, but interesting. If you pay attention in her class and participate in class discussions, you will do great!

Very bright and loves what she does. The bad news is that she is disorganized and takes forever to hand back papers. Lets the class get away with waaaay too much. Better for honors classes.

great professor. She pushes you with hard stuff and expects a lot, but really cares and will help you. Allows you to be you and think outside the box. I grew as a person and a writer. Loved her.

Great professor. She's very passionate. If you do the work, and you use proper grammar and spelling, you'll do great in her class. She's a hard grader, but she does it to help you grow. Best professor I've ever had.

My favorite class. Love the teacher! Artsy, authentic, doesn't spoon feed you, lots of freedom, introduces you to unusual stuff, open style of teaching, likes creative critical thinking, wish more profs were like her! comfortable classroom style, everyone in the class likes her. Not hard, not easy, just different. you'll like her

Amazing professor. More concerned with cultivating meaningful in-depth discussion of the topics rather than sticking to a deadline. With that being said, I learned more about the material than I have in any class I have before. Assignments are lengthy, but thought-provoking and enriching. College is optional; earning your grade should be mandatory.

AMAZING PROFESSOR!! She is SO caring, genuine, and emits nothing but POSITIVE energy! I've had many professors over the years, and she is definitely my all-time favorite. She is a smart, competent, skilled, and knowledgeable professor who genuinely cares about and listens to her students. She truly has an angelic soul that radiates outward! :)

She's so awesome. Nice. Pretty. Everyone in the class likes her. Laid back, but still passionate. Cool lady.

online class. She does take a long time to grade stuff but she's super nice and keeps us updated and allows extra time for stuff. seems a fair grader but a little hard. allows rewrites sometiems too. lots of quizzes and reading but i'm learning a lot. i hear shes good in the class room too.

She is soooo nice. What everyone else said here is true. She's caring and a real humanitarian. Banned Books class. Some readings are hard, but it is a 295 class, not a freshman class. She gets mad if you don't read. Class is mostly discussion. Syllabus changed a couple times. She takes time to grade, but fair and lots of feedback. You'll like her.

Important class. Great prof.

She's great

A peaceful & joyful women. Went to see her for help on the essay and she is very helpful when you talk to her personally. very nice women and very pretty. Doing my class with her online. Go to see her if you get confused. She is very pleasant and helpful.

Pam is a professional woman. I'm an adult woman going back to school. I've been at MCC for 3 years. This is the first class that feels like a college course. First time I've been challenged. Very kind, but wow, she stretches your mind. She's a role model. Enjoyable. Fair grader, helpful, well-liked.

Good class

This professor has helped me grow so much as a writer! She is always willing to offer help if you need it, even though she may seem a bit flighty at times. She truly loves writing, and that shows through her teaching. If you do the work, don't use run on sentences, and engage her interest, you will be fine. I would definitely recommend ENG 200!

Turned out to be my favorite class. Definitely an interesting professor. She will definitely give you a new perspective. The whole class loved her. No textbook but a lot of writing. She's easy to talk to and likes debate. I tell all the engineering students about her class. You'll like it.

I am really not into Lit, but she made the class interesting. The class is all about debates over controversies and books. You don't have to write overly much either. Plus she is a very nice Lady and she will appreciate your participation in class.

I really recommend this professor! It is a very writing intensive course, and there were quite a few new concepts to be learned, but this professor really listens to a student's concerns. I remember that she actually set a whole class day aside to talk to us about our concerns, and ask us how we thought the course curriculum could be improved!

Professor Murphy is a great writer whose passion for literature is infectious. Her lectures are the best if you love to delve into the mechanisms of literature. You will see short stories in a whole new way. Lectures touch on personal topics interweaving with the content. She is nice, funny, and loves English.

liked her from day one. everyone in the class to like her i think.

the coolest person i ever met. laid back. class is fun. everyone in class loves her. and respects her. different kind of proffessor. the assignments seem easy at first but they make you think hard about stuff that you usually don't think about. plus she's really hot!

She's just an amazing person. Really cares about you and takes the time to meet with you if you need extra help. It's not just about grades with her, she cares about what you have to say and how you are doing in your life. She made me comfortable enough to speak my mind in front of the entire class. I wish she taught every subject!

She's great. a different kind of teacher, she likes everyone and very friendly. Super easy to talk to. She says people judge too much so she tries not to. Makes it easy to talk in class. Really like her

One of the best professors I've ever had. She's so passionate about what she's teaching and she truly cares about her students. She had us write a few papers, but didn't give us strict due dates.

Honestly, She was one of the most real professors I have taken at MCC. She inspires you to think outside the box. We had some journals, not too hard. And a Midterm and Final. If you show up to class, and listen to what she has to say and take notes, you will do great on the exams. She will work with you i you reach out. Very understanding Prof.

I love this lady. Super cool. Super chill.

She made me like reading again. Class discussions were good.

Class discussions were the best! Doesnt ask for a lot and doesnt require a textbook. Shes very helpful and understanding.

She is an amazing professor. Although, she tends to be a bit timely with grading things, specifically on blackboard. But she is such an amazing teacher and an amazing person. Shes been through a lot in her life and isnt afraid to be real with you and share her experiences. Shes understanding and a joy to be around. Definitely recommend her!

Overall, she is a good teacher. We didn't have much graded work over the semester. It was three papers and a few quizzes. However, the entire course circled around the topic of arguments. It didn't feel like a typical English course. Our class got off topic numerous times. She seemed to stress our writing such as grammar and especially citations.

You dont need a book. Wont be able to get ahold of her through the number or email provided. She takes a long time to get back to you. Very nice, not great teacher. Discussions and mini quizzes every week. Takes very long time grading things. Work is super easy. If you dont need feedback shes great.
