This class wasn't hard but dealing with the professor was challenging to say the least. I knew this work load would be heavy and course would be tough. However, grading wise the professor was extremely tough and gave no constructive criticism but rather tells you everything you did wrong. if you fall behind even by 1 assign, expect to drop

I would NOT recommend Professor Murcherson. She gives 3 easy quizzes at the beginning of the course then SO many papers afterwards (which I did expect since it was an English class). Without her textbook, you will not pass the class. She based HER course off of HER textbook. She gave so much negative and unnecessary "feedback" that didnt help me.

I just took English 2311 and found her to be actually, very fair. She does give good feedback by telling you exactly what you need to correct, and then you can submit a rewrite for a higher score. There's no way you can't make an A when you're told exactly what you need to correct. The course wasn't hard, just know how to use Word.

This teacher and the class was really helpful. Her feedback is exactly what you need for your rewrites. Doing well and getting an A, no problem. Just follow the instructions and the illustrations.

I had a good experience, the professor really wants everyone to make good grades. Dr. Murcherson worked in the field and wrote the book. So if you care about getting a good job and keeping it, follow her teaching even if you have to rewrite. Its worth it.

This professor takes time with the feedback. I had good service experience with this class. You learn to follow instructions because it pays in the end. Its like being on a job. This business writing is good because you get what you pay for.

This professor was by far the best at giving good feedback. Dr Murcherson is very detailed. It may seem tedious but I needed it and when I did my rewrite, I got an A. All you have to do is use the rewrites and listen to the instructions.

Took her Engl 1301 and I plan to take her English 1302 in the fall. I like the course because the readings are something you like that is relevant. Not too much work, just the usual amount of essays. Her rewrite option is the best and the grading rubric really clear so you know how to make up points. Take her.

Wouldn't take again

I did so much work for this class, just to be docked for things that were not specified. Almost every student had issues accessing the textbook for a period, we got no help with it and still had to find a way to do work. Professor wrote the textbook, it was not accessible from anywhere else on the internet or to order.

Lots of homework
So many papers

SHE IS SO HARD TO DEAL WITH. I just dropped her 2311 course a minute ago. so hard in grading assignments and so hard assignments that you get nervous on doing them because of her unfairly grading. she gives you multiple times to do each assignments which is good but she wants the exact same thing on her text book. if you are a hard worker take he.

I thought the class was great and the textbook is free. Dallas college pays for it. Its a E book that is easy to navigate. Simple.. the grading was clear and the rewrite policy got me an A.. Just be responsible.

Its hard not to do good. Dr Murcherson gives you clear feedback and rewrites to pull up your scores. I dont know any instructors who would give you that much help. If youre not willing to do the rather easy assignments and get extra chances, then complain. Im recommending this class to my friends who have to have it.

the toughest grader, will take points off for anything. sounded really condescending towards me. you will spend hours on an assignment to find out there was an instruction that was no where to be found that you were expected to follow.

If you wanna make a A and learn something. Take Dr Murcherson. She wrote the book and gives you two rewrites on major assignments.

She's the worst professor I've ever had. I was supposed to know specific instructions that weren't given to me and got tens of points off. Nothing is ever good enough for her and her feedback is full of insults and grammatical errors. For your own sanity, please take another professor. I love no nonsense, strict professors, but she's just mean.

Royce Murcherson runs a challenging but rewarding class. Attend lectures, use the textbook, and you'll learn a lot. UnstuckStudy AI was a lifesaver for exam prep. Overall, a tough but worthwhile course.

This professor is hard to reach, rarely replies to emails, and grades harshly without clear guidelines. Discussion boards were late due to her technological error, yet we had only one day to make 3 of them up. Only 5 students stayed due to her tech issues and lack of support. Not recommended, especially for a gen ed community college course.

Not for me. She's very strict. Buying her textbook is REQUIRED, and I could not gain access to it which resulted in me getting 0's back to back since the assignments have to follow each step of the textbook. I informed her of this, but she did not reply. No thanks!!
