Very hard, test are very confusing. Do not recommend.
Somedays he would drag things out. But most days he was pretty entertaining. He knows the material so well and explains how it relates to daily life. I'd love to have him again.
Talked alott, did way to much talking and not enouph explaining. Went of subject and thus did not allow time to do labs, also tests were very confusing. would not recommend
He is horrible! Very difficult tests. If he likes you he will anwser all your question, but if not, he will make you feel like a jerk when you us anything!! He uses stupid 'stickers' as an extra points for your grade. Pop quizes are horrible and sometimes dont refer the things we went over the other class!! NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL!!
Great Professor. Knows the subject very well. Always available to help. Pay atention to the class and study the book. Everything that it is in the book is in the exam. Nothing less, nothing more. A+++ easy.
Horrible. Dont take him at all. wasted of time in his class. he talks to much and keeps you after the class. buuuuuuuuu
Great Professor. Talks too much, but makes the class fun. Quizzes and participation ("stickers") help with the grade. Tests are hard you have to study. I did BIO I and BIO II with him, and had a great time.
I had no interest in Chemistry when I began this class, but found him extremely interesting and very funny! I actually enjoyed the class very much. He was very difficult, but I enjoyed the challenge. He explained Biochemistry very well and gave a lot of bonus points on tests and quizzes, which helped your overall grade. Smart guys are hot!!!!
well i only had him once a week for 3 hrs. and he taught alot! he was great and funny. he'll throw a curveball on the tests sometimes. just ask questions and he'll answer, he'll even stay longer until u understand the lesson
he talked alot. he's helpful and his lectures are clear but sometimes he'll go deeper into the lesson, where we don't need certain information.
He was awful. I had to drop his class because I could never catch when he was kidding around or not. I took Chem with Kapica instead this semester, and got an A. Don't take him; you'll waste your time.
Overall passion for Chemistry - keep in mind it's a basic class and he teaches high school so it's geared toward that level. Fairly clear lectures and if you do the hwk problems, you'll do well on exams.Did bring some personal issues into class, but we're all human. Try to be on time/early or expect some sarcasm. Text/email him so he knows who u r.
PLEASE I AM TRYING TO HELP - DO NOT SIGN UP FOR HIS CLASS UNLESS YOU ALREADY KNOW A LOT ABOUT CHEMISTRY. HE SPEAKS IN CHEMISTRY LANGUAGE, 6 PLUS PEOPLE IN MY CLASS WITH HIM ARE NOW IN ANOTHER CHEM CLASS - BREATH OF FESH AIR COMPARED TO HIM
simply awful. I would not recommend him to anyone accept maybe a psychiatrist.
I wasn't good at Chemistry at high school. I took his class by recommendation and got an A on the first test. He is the best and cute too.
Professor Mure is a little quirky BUT it gives him character. He is a phenomenal teacher and really knows his stuff. His enthusiasm for Chemistry is inspiring. He makes the material easier to understand and always makes class fun! If you come to class, pay attention and do the homework, you'll get an A.
I LOVE this class. Mure is funny and entertaining and it's the only time I have EVER looked forward to a science course. I actually understand the course content completely. I would highly reccomend taking this course.
In High School I didn't understood chemistry. Professor Mure is very good at explaining things. I understand everything we have done, gotten an A on the first test, and Chemistry does not come easy to me. You must attend class to do well. He teaches the entire class period so don't expect to leave early. He is a great teacher and funny too.
If you do the HW problems and write down everything he writes on the board you will get an easy A. He does tend to lecture past the allotted time, but will answer all your questions. You can text/ email him anytime and expect a timely, helpful response.
I enjoy going to his class and learning about chemistry.. I didn't realize how interesting it is. Class is fun, and he takes the time to make sure everyone gets it. Show up, pay attention, do practice problems, and you'll do just fine.
Very smart professor. The word "quirky" def describes him! Attendance is mandatory and if you miss a day you will be very lost. He tries to make it easier by bringing real life situations into his lessons and it def helps a lot. He goes through tons of material very fast so pay attention!!!
Good professor. Will answer any questions. Do homework and pay attention and you will do fine. Tests are hard but if you prepare you will do good.
He knows the material inside and out. Is willing to help and will do his best to help you succeed. If you are willing to learn, work hard, do the homework, take notes, and ask questions; you should do just fine in class.
He makes it clear from the start what effort is required from the student to pass. Attendance is a must as he goes over material very quickly and there is ALOT of it. He reviews most of the material in class that will be on exams, but not all - reading the textbook is a must. He is very funny and that helps with this subject matter! Very good prof
he is one of the most exciting chemistry teachers you could ever have, he makes it clear and fun. as long as you listen and do the work thats given to you his class is a breeze he's a very understanding and amazing professor i couldn't be happier with the course!
One of the best professors I've ever had. He def has a knack for making the material interesting and engaging. The material may not be simple, but if you pay attention to him, he thoroughly explains it so you can apply it to something you're familiar with to better help you fully understand. He tends to go off on tangents, but they're def worth it.
I have studied Chemistry with several different teachers on the high-school and college level and I find Professor Mure to be among the best. He is extremely knowlegeable and well-prepared for class, but also maintains a lighthearted class atmosphere that helps keep our attention. I am truly enjoying being his student.
Hands down best Chem teacher i've ever had.
Best chemistry teacher I've ever had. He explains things on our level and is very fair with his exams.
Prior to attending his class, I despised chemistry, most likely because I didn't understand it. This professor teaches in such an arresting way that he engages the entire class into what he is teaching and makes it clear and easy to understand. As long as you complete the assigned hw and pay attention in class, you will enjoy being a part of it.
He relates Chem to everyday life. He has an ability to make you laugh but then pull you right back in to Chem. This class is not easy but,Professor Mure is fair and grades on a curve
He's a great guy & makes Chemistry interesting. Has funny stories to tell to break up the class for a little bit. His tests are hard, but are all mulitple choice, however he does throw some trick questions out there. I would highly recommend taking him. For those of you who had negative comments, could've just been a rough year for him.
Amazing teacher! Great stories to go along with what he s teaching. He grades on a curve and gives a few quizzes that can definately bump up your grade.
Not going to lie - I didn't make it easy on him. He didn't really understand that I have to travel constantly for work but he was a good sport with putting up with my bs. I decided not to attend the final since I would fail anyway. Good teacher, if I could have made it to class I know I would have gotten an A. Nice, clear, friendly and tolerant.
His class is hard but he makes Chemistry as interesting as possible. I learned SO much from him and do not dread Chem as much as I once did. I really enjoyed listening to him relate Chem to everyday life. Extremely smart but doesn't teach over your head. He's a "cool" teacher and would definitely take him again!
Mure definitely has personality in him! He relates chemistry to everyday life and makes things interesting! He did confuse me at times though. Make sure you understand each subject before moving on. Tests are all M.C. and not too difficult. Overall, he's the "cool" type and also funny. I recommend him!
Prof Mure's energy and enthusiasm added greatly to my learning experience of what I feared would be a grueling course. He's a very knowledgable man in many areas and was able to cross the subject matter from this course with others and real-life situations. Extremely professional, humorous guy, and ALWAYS made himself available if you had ques.
great professor! learned a lot, before taking his class i had no interest in chem but he made it interesting, tests are not to bad if you study material. only downside is you will stay the entire class block if not over time, very smart and funny
Although this prof. is entertaining and makes chemistry interesting, all he does is tell stories about himself. If he would talk about himself less, more work would get done. His tests are not on his notes. I learned more online then listening to him. He prides himself on hard tests. Take him if you want to laugh because that's all you'll do.
Do not recomended this prof. In order to succed in his test you gotta learn on your own. On the Final day he gives you a test + the final, which about 150 questions... CRASY!! He is a good guy but bad teacher for those who doesnt know Chem
Mure will keep chem interesting. Very smart so he knows his stuff, funny so class isn't so boring. He makes himself available for extra help if needed. Test can be hard but only if you do not put the time and effort in to studying the material. FYI Do the homework! I would take him again.
I thought I hated chemistry until I took Professor Mure's class. He was a great teacher and told great stories to help you remember topics. This class was not "easy" but if you pay attention and keep up with material, you will do great. I really enjoyed his teaching style.
Great Professor! As long as you stay on top of homework you are good, great guy who wants his students to succeed!
I was nervous before taking this class; I struggled w/ Chem the 1st time I took it in hs. Prof. Mure completely changed my mind. He made the material totally understandable, accessable & fun to learn. He mixed humor w/ content & I really enjoyed taking this class. You need to do the work assigned & stay on top of it but if you do you will succeed
I took this class years ago at Rutgers and concepts I never understood especially in the perspective of organic chemistry were clearly explained by Professor Mure. I enjoyed the class and learned so much. His way of creating a strong foundation of concepts and building upon it made everyone stronger as the semester passed, unlike other professors.
Professor Mure was very fair, knowledgeable, helpful, always available if you have any questions. His test are not easy but fair if you do the work. I really enjoyed his class.
Prof. Mure was an outstanding teacher. One of the best I've ever had...and I've completed post-secondary and graduate school. At the beginning of the semester he said that by the end of the year we'd see the world totally different. He was right. He made chemistry come alive and relevant even to those of us that weren't fans of the subject.
Prof. Mure is extremely knowledgeable. As a previous poster explained, he said he would see the world differently...and I do! I learned a lot. So much more than what I ever thought. You need to put in a lot of effort. His tests are hard. His class was a ton of fun. We always knew we would be laughing. My advice woud be to make sure you do the hw.
You must read the text book first.
Prof mure taught the best chemistry course I ever took. I was so engaged in the material, discussion and lectures & I used to say chemistry was my least favorite subj! He made it exciting and relatable to real life, was on time, never condescending & very funny. He made himself available for everyone's questions all the time. Too bad it's over!
His sudden bursts crack me up. Those students sitting in the front must be terrified all evening.
Great professor. Keeps class interesting while teaching concepts clearly and applying the subject to everyday life. Easy to get an A if you do the homework problems assigned. Very fair tests. Stays after class to answer any questions or concerns. Very passionate about chem.
An amazing prof!i had to study hard and combining he book with hat he teaches in class is tdo well on his tests!i wish every Prof would make their subjecst as interesting as Prof Murre did!I would take his classall over again!
Great and helpful professor! Chem is not an easy subject but he makes it fun and keeps you interested. He truly cares about his students and wants to help in any way he can. I would take any class with this man as the professor. Make sure you pay attention in class and do what he asks of you. If you do the work it will pay off!
I would take any class professor mure teaches. he is challenging but fair, passionate about the subject matter and helping his students. he makes himself available before and after class and if you are willing to work hard and ask questions there is no reason you can't get an A in his class
Bad experience w/ him from the 2nd class left a bad taste in my mouth all semester. Embarrasses students in front of the entire class. "Weeds" out weak by instilling fear & creating self doubt instead of encouragement & praise. Unusual for a high school teacher. Very smart but does not follow through on train of thought. Forgets we are students.
Very passionate and knowledgeable professor. He took a difficult subject and made it incredibly interesting. I've learned a tremendous amount from his teaching. Pay attention, do the homework, and study. You'll learn everything you need to know by just listening to him. I would definitely take a class with him again!
Professor Mure is very dedicated. He's very knowledgeable. Once he talked about being a ligand, and for me, I've become his receptor. Having said that, he is an effective teacher. He's funny, and he makes Chemistry interesting. I truly see the world around me differently because I learned to understand how things work & why they work thru Chemistry
Prof Mure is very dedicated and knowledgable. He lets you know what is expected of you. If you attend class, pay attention and do practice questions you will do fine. He is funny and kept the nights interesting with personal stories. I would seek out other classes that he teaches.
Prof. Mure has a real passion for chemistry & teaching. He uses story telling & humor during class to keep things interesting. This was a great class and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to take chemistry. The only issue I had is he was a little disorganized with his lectures, but he is always willing to answer your questions.
He is an awesome teacher. Very passionate about the subject and cares for his students. Easy to understand and very straight forward on what he wants you to learn as long as your in class and do the homework you'll do great. Would love to have him as a professor again.
Prof Mure is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I learned so much in his course and really do view the world differently. He teaches in a way that makes the class fun and engaging, and the material easy to understand. He really cares about his students and wants you to succeed. Always willing to answer questions. Very passionate and motivating
We didn't keep up with the syllabus in class, and then we had to learn a lot of chapters on our own at the end of the semester. That felt pretty unfair. Prof Mure is a good teacher, but I would have appreciated less off topic discussion and more focus on what we were required to know for this class.
Professor Mure is such a great professor because he is so passionate about chemistry and he makes learning it so much fun!! He uses great analogies. He is also dedicated to helping all of the students and making sure they know the material. I have never been good at chemistry until I took this class! He makes it interesting to learn!!
Prof Mure is a great teacher and knowledgeable. He makes his classes interesting and fun for a hard subject as Chemistry. He tries to answer all your questions and he is always available to help you. I like Prof. Mure..
Chemistry is not an easy subject but Professor Mure makes it interesting and easier to understand. He engages the students and genuinely wants them to succeed. If you come to class, pay attention- and put a little time and effort in- you will do great. You c
Professor Mure is a great teacher. He has tons of real life examples in chemistry and his enthusiasm for the subject is a real plus! Just read the chapters, enjoy the lecture and you will have an A
I always thought that chemistry was a difficult subject until I took Professor Mure's class. He is excellent and truly worries about teaching the material to the fullest.If you want an A, just attend his classes and do the assignments; he is always available for questions and extra help. I would take his class again if I could! He is awesome!
Prof Mure is very passionate about the subject matter he teaches and is able to keep the students' attention despite long class times by sharing real world examples that are relatable and current. He's occasionally moody, which can be unsettling for students unsure of their footing with the material. Keep up with the reading if not ahead.
Professor Mure is a great professor. I recommend doing all the homework, and the problems from the textbook. Missing class is NOT recommended either. You will miss a lot if you miss one night of class. He's a great professor; the class requires a lot of work. You need to work hard!
Prof Mure is an incredibly intelligent professor. His passion for science is infectious and he will deliver on his promise to change your view of the world around you. His stories are quite entertaining and made a 4 hour class fly by. His exams are fair; study well and you will earn an A.
Professor Mure is one of the best professors I have ever had!! He is so passionate about chemistry and giving the gift of knowledge to his students!! He inspired me to learn and do my best! I highly recommend taking his class!
I would recommend this class. Professor is great and makes class interesting. Attend class, stay on top of the homework assignments and study your notes, you should do great
He's the best professor for Chem. Make sure you don't miss a class, too much material to review on your own. I recorded all classes and did well. Do all homework and extra credit and you will achieve a good grade.
I would recommend this professor to anyone that needs to take Chemistry. Definitely a one of the best professors I have ever had. He brings the material alive with real life examples and analogies. He makes this difficult subject easy to understand. Just do the homework from the syllabus and enjoy the classes and you will be very successful!
Prof. Mure is very passionate about Chemistry. His tests are long BUT includes material you just should know about Chemistry, nothing he doesn't go over in class. To pass you really need to attent all classes and read the material since the course has so much information and such a short period of time.
You must study all your material and practice the chapter exercises, if you don't study you will be fail this class. I passed with a C, but I did better that I was expecting.
The best Professor I`ve ever had. The lecture is very clear and he is a very knowledgeable Professor. I learned a lot in his class. I had taken chemistry before in Europe but i didn't like it and didn't understand it. He made me like chemistry and be my favorite class. I would highly recommend.
The best Professor I have ever had. The lecture is very clear and he is a very knowledgeable Professor. I learned a lot in his class.The extra material he uses is very helpful.I did not like chemistry before.He made me like it and be my favorite class. He answers all your questions on time, I would highly recommend.
Great knowledgable teacher that makes the information and all that he knows come to life through his passion for science.! You need to come to all of the classes though. I missed one class and misses a lot. Philip Joana
A very good professor. Extremely knowledgeable and very good at teaching chemistry in a way that is easy to understand. I haven't taken any chemistry since high school (14+ years ago) but his class was very thorough and informative.
Best teacher I ever had! Hated chemistry before especially in a long Thursday night class but he made it interesting, clear, and was very entertaining. I didn't mind going to class and I learned so much. Never would've passed chemistry if I had another teacher. I highly recommend him for any nursing student trying to get through intro to chem!
Prof.Mure was born to be a teacher. The class was very interesting, not boring like other classes that I took before. I learned a lot of new information. Very unique, interesting way to deliver information to students. Professor with great attitude, very easy going and fun too. Had a very pleasant experience during this class. Highly recommended.
Professor Mure is excellent at what he does. He made a difficult subject for me enjoyable to learn and that is no easy task. He definitely has a passion to teach so, if you want learn he is the one to learn from.
Mure is the best professor to have overall! He is fair at grading. He made chemistry an easy material to understand. Don't be fooled, the class is hard if you do not follow up on grading the chapters. IF you do his quizzes and read the chapters, you will pass the class. He brings life to his lectures and is an amazing person!
Very good professor. Classes very clear. He teach only the necessary you need to know. I recommend his classes.
Mure is the man! He has a terrific knowledge of all things science and a great background in science which he uses during lectures to really help the information being taught become more understandable and clear. Tests can be tough but if you go to class and listen to what he says you will be fine. Wish he taught other courses.
If you have any difficulties understanding chemistry this is the class to take. Professor Mure makes relatively difficult information easy to understand, while still making the class intersting. You still have to work at it and do your homework, but you can easily do well if you keep up with everything. I would recommend the class
he is awesome! if you are taking chemistry YES you have to study and reread notes and do homework... its college so yes he does expect this from you! but he is very helpful and is human so he understands things happen sometimes but do the work, study, and ask questions and you will do fine with him
I never enjoyed chemistry. All my past teachers of the subject have been impatient and grouchy. Prof. Mure is an incredible teacher, making every class enjoyable and the material interesting. I looked forward to the 4 hour lectures as well as his lab every week. If you don't understand something he will take the time to help you understand.
I enjoyed lecture so much that I took him for lab the following semester! He is a superb educator- truly passionate about the subject and teaching. Although much of the material was review for me (I dig science), I did learn how a lot of it applies to the everyday world around us. Fascinating! I truly walked away enriched, not just academically.
Really pleasant experience taking this class. This is my first review and though I procrastinated I have gotten to it solely based on how good professor mure was. He has a great classroom demeanor is fun and passionate about the subject and teaching as a whole. Pay attention in class and you'll do well,truly looked forward to going to class.
Great teacher who really knows material and is able to help you learn! Teaches class in an very effective way for note taking.
Professor Mure is enthusiastic and passionate and a dedicated educator. I found the class to be relatively easy for a science course, but he was also great at covering new materia.
Professor Mure is a very good professor! I've taken Chemistry before and I was lost but he is extremely clear and doesn't put material on the test that he didn't go over in class. I took his night class which was almost a four hour lecture, but he keeps it interesting. I would certainly recommend him!
Prof Mure was great! I was terrified to take Chemistry but he is a great teacher. You have to put in the time and do the homework, take his online quizzes and do his reviews and you will be fine. I def. recommend and would take him again :) It's a long class and he doesn't let you out early but he is funny so I didn't mind :)
Professor Mure made the class extremely interesting, entertaining and easy to understand. Yes, you have to do your part and work hard but you will definitely learn a lot. Take his class, you won't regret it!
Was very helpful and fair teacher. I would recommend him to anyone!
He is a good professor, but don't expect a study guide for the final. You have to read and study hard to get a good grade or invest in a tutor. A lot of information at once which he thinks it's easy but it is not, unless you have done chemistry before.
Would recommend Professor Mure for Chemistry Lab. Very helpful, yet keeps your attention for the whole time. He goes over every experiment in detail before letting you go off on your own. Is always willing to help! *Paperback book for this lab is a must
Professor Mure was a great teacher! Had him for Intro to Chemistry lecture. Selected "lectures are long" because it was a night class 6-9:40, and he always went until the last minute. He has a lot of stories, which take up a lot of time, but they can be very interesting. He is a very knowledgeable guy and very smart! I enjoyed taking his class!
I had heard and read good reviews about Prof Mure and it was all accurate. He loves what he teaches and really knows his stuff and is always trying to make you laugh. Missing a lecture is no good, a lot is covered and class goes from beginning to end. Not a fan of Chem at all but would take him again if I had to.
Helpful and makes everything easy to understand. He makes sure you understand he lesson before going on to the next. He makes sure he knows all his students and keeps the class fun and interesting. His tests are easy if you pay attention and do the work, if you don't say they "had nothing on it" because everything on the test he does in class.
Excellent ability to gauge the students' understanding of each new topic introduced in class. Unique in that he's both a subject matter expert as well as a clear teacher: lecture material matches the textbook. Vested in student success, but do the homework! The class pace is consistent throughout the semester, enabling consistent study.
he is a great teacher, very dedicated, smart and great one to take this class, absolutely worth it.
At first I thought that since he jokes around a lot he may not cover the material required for the exams. But I work 60 hours a week and took his lectures at night from 6 to 9:40 and I never fell asleep even for a minute. Great professor and his experience shows. Attending his lectures was enough for me to learn everything I needed.
Chemistry is certainly not my forte however professor mure made each class enjoyable. If it wasn't for his teaching method I probably would not have passed this course. His lectures were clear and concise. He made class fun which helped me not only retain information but actually understand the material. I am so grateful I choose his class.
Where do I begin? Mr. Mure is hands down the best teacher in CCM. He made chemistry be as clear as it gets! Students must do their part in actually show up to class and pay close attention. Mr. Mure is so smart, and passionate about chemistry and what he does, that it make the class interesting.
Took this class in the summer, was a lot of material but the professor was great. Extremely recommend to take him.
He's really awesome! sets a great mood for class where everyone can feel extremely comfortable to ask questions and be a part of the class. Also really fair, and great teacher. Don't skip class or he won't like you and he's really nice and cool so you want him to like you
Though we took the class at an accelerated pace, every topic was thoroughly covered and there were no surprises on his tests or the final. There was a lot of laughter and camaraderie in our classroom and he cares about getting to know every student. He gives you tons of extra credit points via stickers earned by doing problems during class.
Mure is an amazing teacher. I was dreading taking chem as I've had bad experiences in the past but he made it super easy. His lectures are clear and he uses examples from his personal life. A really nice and funny guy. I took this lecture at night 6-9:40 after working and never fell asleep once. I highly recommend him. I would take his class again!
Easily the best teacher I've ever had in my entire scholastic career; Dr. Mure is absolutely life-changing. You will LEARN chemistry, not merely memorize a few things and forget them in a few weeks. His entertaining teaching style is surpassed only by his passion and expertise of the subject matter. He truly cares about his students' success.
Easily one of the best teachers I have ever had. I have never been interested in chemistry but I learned a lot taking this class. He also gives you a lot of opportunities to boost your grade. He is a really funny and intelligent teacher. Wish I could take him again!
Has a great understanding of the subject that imprints on his students. Very funny and made a 3 hr and 40 night class go by fairly quick by holding your attention the entire time. Fun examples and quirky anecdotes kept the energy in the room positive and even though he has a tendency to trail off, still manages to get a wide range of info across.
I dare you to find a professor who cares about their subject more. But he also cares about his students and their success. If you just show up, pay attention and do the homework, you can't get a bad grade. I've never had a professor show up early before tests and review, and answer questions like him. He relates the material to everyday life.
Easily the best teacher I've ever had in my life. Dr. Mure is absolutely life-changing. You will LEARN chemistry. His entertaining teaching style is surpassed only by his passion and expertise of the subject matter. He truly cares about his students' success.
no one i'd rather spend 4 hours with, keeps you focused/entertained. Discusses how much $ he makes. often condescending. (Next 5 comments are also posted by me)
Hands down the best professor at CCM. I highly recommend him and I wish he taught more classes so I could take him again. He made chemistry fun and I genuinely learned a lot from him. He's incredibly entertaining and relates chemistry to his personal life. I look forward to his lecture even though its 4 hours at night.
Keeps us awake for 3 hours and 40 mins. Brilliant teacher. Funny. Easy to keep up and take notes.
One of the nicest and most genuine professors I've had the pleasure of taking. He really cares about the subject and frequently uses anecdotes to help relate chem to real life. Make sure you drink coffee if you need to, lectures are long and you must be focused and paying attention, and it helps take a lot of notes!!!
grtttttt prof. you want to learn then go to his class. he knows his stuff. tests are so easy. learned a lot in his class. wish all teachers are like him. easy to talk.
I wish lectures were more structured and organized. Be prepared for a lot of stories. I relied solely on the text book and PowerPoints that are on mastering chem to pass exams and complete the homework. He is very knowledgeable, however it will be his own version of chem and will not line up with any of the other chem classes.
I heart Timothy Mure. Best professor ever!!!!
He is a great professor who keeps you interested with his stories and he makes it easy to understand and works with you if you have a problem. He's awesome. Def Recommend!
He is entertaining, funny, take this class @ night, and YOU WON'T FALL ASLEEP! 3 tests & dept. final. Mast. Chem & other reading material will keep you busy. Class is 3hrs. & 40 mins. Don't forget to point out the wrong answer so you can get a "sticker". I will miss him and I know you'll like him. So, good luck future students!!!!
Chemistry wasn't my strong point until I entered Professor's Mure class where he made the three hour and 40 minute night class the best. He kept the class alive and awake. He kept our intrest with his witty lectures and understanding of the material easier. Don't be fooled you need to do the suggested reading and homework ito all counts.
He is the best
I´d never like any Chemistry class but he changed it. Thank you, Professor.
I loved this professor. I seriously wish he taught higher level chemistry. He is an excellent instructor!
one of the best professors!!
I was terrible at chemistry and absolutely hated it this professor not only made it fun but i also finally understood everything
I dreaded chem. This guy made me love the class. GREAT.
Doesn't keep up with the syllabus. Easily spends 60% of lecture time telling personal stories or complaining that he doesn't make enough money as a teacher. Exams are extremely difficult and not based on examples discussed in class. Condescending. Doesn't use PP's or any other teaching tools for that matter. You'll need to teach yourself to pass.
If you want to be entertained for a 3+ hour lecture then take chem with Prof Mure. If you want to genuinely learn chemistry and care about getting the highest grade possible towards your GPA, take it with someone else.
Professor Mure is a great guy and is super hilarious! However, he tends to go off topic when teaching witch can be a little annoying. Since he doesn't provide powerpoints you have to teach yourself to get a good grade. I relied on tutoring sessions and the textbook problems to pass.
Professor Mure is brilliant but he doesn't stay on topic & spends an almost 4 hr long class discussing few topics. As the reviewer before me stated, I also relied solely on the textbook & tutoring to pass. Very nice guy but this class was more difficult then it had to be & I blame that on his inability to focus on teaching rather then storytelling.
This is one of the best teachers at County College Of Morris, i've had a pretty difficult time with chemistry in the past and this was the only teacher who really taught it to me and took the time to explain the things i didn't understand. He is extremely through and is passionate about teaching and chemistry. Highly recommend Professor Mure.
TAKE HIM. Hes the best teacher I have this year. I HATE chemistry and nearly failed in hs, but taking chem with Mure has completely flipped that around, I really love chem now. You can tell hes passionate about what he does and I wouldnt switch for a different professor. I wish he could teach all of my classes. Amazing man
I only had Professor Mure for chem lab, but I wish I had him for lecture! Hes a really funny guy and really loves what he does. He makes boring material interesting and likes to incorporate jokes here and there. I dont know how he is for lecture, but Im sure he goes over exactly what you need to know for tests
Prof mure does keep you entertained with stories about himself for the 4 hours your there at night. He doesnt teach you chemistry tho. By the end of the semester youll know more about him them how to do any chemistry problem. He will keep you till the last minute and find something to talk about and its usually himself. Thumbs down for sure
Does not lecture from powerpoints or textbook, if you cant take good In class notes, dont take him. For that reason, an absence is KILLER. Otherwise, AMAZING professor, very personal, funny, and likeable. Made chemistry fun (I used to dread chm) and I wish he taught more. He does go off on tangents, but its always purposeful and not off topic.
Professor Mure is well organized, extremely prepared and professional. Students are encouraged to ask questions. Quick to email back. Class time is devoted for exam reviews before tests. Lectures are clear and understandable producing countless "ah ha " moments. The syllabus is a key to understanding test expections and there are no suprises.
Professor Mure is AMAZING! He made me have the confidence to tackle chemistry though I have never taken it in school before. He is positive in every aspect, it is not just about sit down and listen to me speak, he is interactive & funny. He makes the time fly by. This is one of the teachers I would recommend. PROF MURE IS AN A+++++ PROFESSOR.
Professor Mure seemed cool at first but as we got into the semester I started to regret choosing him as my chemistry. Quizzes are full of trick questions. Setting you up to fail. He also did not teach 85% of the material that was on the Department Final. He states that he is open to questions but when asked be judges and responds rudely.
Professor Mure is enthusiastic about his teachings and puts in the effort to answer any questions. Make sure you bring coffee to the lectures because it is long but useful. He also gives ten minute breaks in between each lecture. The tests correlate to the quizzes, but make sure you email him if you find any mistakes for potential points.
Professor Mure is a wonderful instructor who genuinely cares about his students. He is very personable, and knows the material very well. Just be prepared to study, as it isn't an easy course. He also gives extra credit in the form of stickers. I recommend the owl stickers. They're the best.
If you have to take Chemistry, you have to take it with him! I never took Chemistry, even in highschool, and he still was able to teach me. He cares a lot about his students and wants to make sure everyone succeeds. Pretty funny too and a good person
Professor Mure is an amazing professor! The first day of class he told us exactly how to succeed, read the book, do the homework, come to class and you will get an A. His lectures contained a lot of information but he make sure that everyone understood the content before moving forward and related the material to real world situations.
I was worried about taking a summer chem class but Professor Mure was an amazing teacher. He told us from the start how to get an A... read the chapter, do the assignments, come to class. His lectures were great! He incorporated real life stories and examples and kept the class engaged. I followed his advise and got an A!
I loved this professor. Each class was enjoyable and it felt like he brought all the students together. Very thankful I took this class with him because I enjoyed every second. Would highly recommend taking this professor you will not regret it.
Taking a night class is not easy, especially a 3 hour and 50 minute chem class. this professor makes this course so enjoyable and time flies for the most part. he makes jokes and relates to others and does his best to teach while keeping us awake. def recommend him!
Fantastic Prof! Very approachable. Always available to answer any questions. Enjoyable lecture. If your dreading the 6pm-940pm class, don't! He keeps you engaged the entire class!
Professor Mure is an engaging teacher, though his lectures can veer off-topic at times. Rely on the textbook, study sessions, and resources like unstuck AI to succeed. Overall, a worthwhile class with a caring professor.
Professor Mure is one of the best professors. I enjoyed his lectures because he explained it so clearly. He was always kind, helpful, and cared about his students.
I think about this professor very often. I took his class in the summer for chemistry. This was my third time taking it after getting Cs I got an A. He has outstanding lectures and even connects material to his personal life to make it easier to memorize and to build a relationship with him. So easy to communicate with and an overall great guy.
